Bible View of Slavery: A Discourse Delivered at the Jewish Synagogue, B'nai Jeshurun, New York, on the Day of the National Fast, January 4, 1861

This pamphlet contains the text of a sermon delivered by Rabbi Morris J. Raphall at Congregation B'nai Jeshurun in New York City on January 4, 1861, the day President Buchanan proclaimed a National Fast. In this highly publicized sermon, Raphall argued that the Bible did not prohibit slavery and defended the institution, drawing both praise from the South and criticism from abolitionists in the North. Published by Rudd & Carleton, New York, 1861.
