The Jews and the Mosaic Law – First Book by Issac Leeser – Philadelphia, 1834
The Jews and the Mosaic Law by Issac Leeser, Philadelphia, 5594 [1834]. English.
Apologetic-polemic composition about the essentials of the Jewish religion, its laws and customs - Issac Leeser's first book. This composition was the outcome of a series of articles published by Leeser in American journals in 1892 and it has two parts: Part 1 - A defense of the revelation of the Pentateuch, and of the Jews for their adherence to the same. Part 2: Four essays on the relative importance of Judaism and Christianity, by a native of Germany and professor of Christianity.
Isaac Leeser (1806-1868) was a leader of traditional Judaism in America and one of the first builders of American Jewry, a philosopher and literary editor, who also worked on translating holy literature to English, and authored many essays and sermons. He was responsible for the first Jewish translation of the Bible and in 1843 founded the first Jewish-American journal, The Occident and American Jewish.
