Document Summary
Can separate without religious divorce: considered married civilly but not religiously, opinion of rabbis. Not inclined to bless union of jew and christian, neither would be a catholic priest. If a jewish male marries a christian, he will still be considered a jew by his brethren. When israelites formed a nation, their law made it rule to consider strangers as brothers. Respect and benevolence towards strangers are enforced by moses as an obligation imposed by god himself. How could they consider them otherwise when they share the same land, under same gov"t, and same laws, rights, duties to fulfill. Tie of gratitude compensates for religion: sentiment was at first excited by the mere grant of, tie even between jews and christians toleration. Jewish fate is linked with the common fate of all frenchmen. Yes, france is our country will never cease to be worthy of the title. Admit no difference but that of worshipping the supreme.
