Letter Concerning Rabbi Isaac Wise's Sermons
An unsigned letter, possibly from a congregant, offering insightful commentary on Rabbi Isaac Wise's sermons and articles published in Isaac Leeser's *The Occident*. Written in English with interspersed Hebrew phrases, the letter discusses Wise's interpretation of biblical texts and his views on religious practice in America, including the use of organs in synagogues. The letter is dated circa 1850 and may have been sent to Isaac Leeser. The handwriting is unique and does not match other examples in the Pennsylvania portion of this collection.
