Excerpt from The Literary Remains of the Rev. Simeon Singer: Sermons to ChildrenIn the old Grecian story of Ulysses it is related that when he sailed past the island of sirens he listened for a moment to the sorcerers' music, and thereupon to prevent himself and crew from being lured to the shore, he stopped their ears with wax and had himself tied to the mast of the ship. Thus, as the story goes, they passed in safety the fatal strand. But wh...

Excerpt from The Book of Delight: And Other PapersThe chapters of this volume were almost all spoken addresses. The author has not now changed their character as such, for it seemed to him that to convert them into formal essays would be to rob them of any little attraction they may possess.One of the addresses - that on Medieval Way faring - was originally spoken in Hebrew, in Jerusalem. It was published, in part, in English in the London Jew...

Excerpt from Jewish Life Under Emancipation It was an old and a true allegation against John Bull that he had no tact in dealing with other races than his own. He did not mean to be unjust or unfair, but he trampled on the sensitiveness which he could not understand. In Ireland he called the Roman Catholic faith "a lie and a heathenish superstition", or, in a lighter mood, made imbecile jokes about pigs and potatoes. In Scotland, thriftiness ...

Thus the period covered extends over more than seventeen cen turies. Yet, long as this period is, it is too brief. To do justice to the literature of Judaism even in outline, it is clearly neces sary to include the Bible, the Apo...

Excerpt from Jewish Life in the Middle Ages Though I have everywhere referred to the works from which I have derived incidental facts, or from which I have borrowed quotations, there are three writers to whom I should like to express my more general indebtedness. The works of Dr. M. Güdemann, Dr. A. Berliner, and Mr. Joseph Jacobs have been of constant service to me. One thing I have done to justify my frequent use of their works. I have veri...

Excerpt from By-Paths in Hebraic Bookland But, though some such general idea runs through the volume, it was the author's intention to interest rather than instruct, to suggest the importance of certain authors and books, perhaps to rouse the reader to probe deeper than the writer himself has done into subjects of which here the mere surface is touched. The writer could have added indefinitely to these papers, but this selection is long enoug...
