Overview

Excerpt from The Moral Light: Or Reproductions of Articles From the Old Files of Awr Ameth, The Light of Truth, on Moralised Judaism-Its Holidays, External Religious Observances, the Synagogue, Prayers, &C., And Other Subjects Thus we see how the Israelites adopt means to remember the commandments, given to their forefathers by God, by nailing the symbols up to their door posts, 'by tying them up to their heads and arms, and even by figuring them so skilfully on their shoulders and fingers by means of the straps. And why all this ado? It is to' remind them of the Law, that they may be moral. But alas! How different is the conduct of the people in general. We hope, however, that every Israelite will in the future bear this in mind and act accordingly, and be a type of morality. If he does not care to do so, even the brandings with fire of the whole Law on his body, cannot succeed in making him a better man. Now, then, we beseech every Israelite to take a lesson from the Tephillin, and not use them as a matter of form. To him, let this observance act as a charm to drive away from his heart, the satan of evil passions, which produces the disease of malice, hatred, lies, falsehoods, unchastity, covetousness and every sort of immorality which tends to destroy the well-being of the human race, and let him perform unhypocritically actions which enhance human happi ness.
