A Review of the Review of the Controversies Between Rev. Isaac Leeser and Congregation Mikveh Israel

Description

This pamphlet is a review of a previous review of the controversies between Isaac Leeser and the Philadelphia Congregation Mikveh Israel. The author, writing under the pseudonym "An Israelite," defends Leeser and criticizes the actions of the congregation. The pamphlet discusses the role of the Hazan (cantor) in the Jewish community, arguing for a position of greater authority and independence from the congregation's leadership. It critiques the practice of electing the Hazan for a limited term and suggests that the Hazan's position should be one of respect and influence within the community.
