A Penitential Sermon
View through CrossRef
This chapter presents Isaac Luria's 1803 sermon and compares it with other Christian sermons presented at the time. First, Luria seems unwilling to specify national sins, while the Christian preachers exemplified the moral decay of British society with condemnations of sexual immorality, profanity, and the slave trade. Second, the often contemptuous disparagement of Napoleon in the Christian sermons is absent from Luria's text, perhaps reflecting an ambivalence stemming from the emperor's benevolent policies towards Jews. An important motif that understandably does not appear in the Christian sermons is Luria's insistence on the loyalty of Jews to their country, not only in England, but wherever Jews live, carrying out the instructions of the prophet Jeremiah to the exiles in Babylonia. This will become a central theme of Jewish discourse at the beginning of the First World War.
