Sermon by Isaac Leeser: Affirming the Sanctity and Infallibility of God


This archival item consists of three handwritten pages (8 x 10 inches) of a sermon penned by Isaac Leeser. The sermon, likely written in the late 1830s, affirms Leeser's core belief in the sanctity and infallibility of God and his orthodoxy as a Jew. The sermon opens with a prayer and reiterates his strong beliefs in God's greatness, certitude, and perfection, concluding with a plea for God's blessings on his people. While unsigned, the distinctive handwriting confirms Leeser's authorship. The sermon may be part of a series of seven sermons on the Messiah, possibly included in his two-volume work *Discourses* (1837) or published in early issues of *The Occident*. The manuscript shows some aging and light fading but remains readable. Photostats are included for enhanced readability. This item is located in Arc.MS.56, Box 3, Folder 4.
