LIBERAL JUDAISM AND THE MODERN STATE

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—British Jews have at all times been loth to ventilate their inner religious differences before the general public, and they deeply resent the propaganda conducted by the minister of the Liberal Synagogue in the daily and weekly Press. I venture to believe that non-Jewish readers, likewise, desire to be spared these sectarian disputations. Hence, my unwillingness further to correct the inaccuracies and assump- tions in Dr. Mattuck's letter which you published in your issue of November 6th.—I am, Sir, &c., J. H. HERTZ,

Chief Rabbi.
