Antelman to eliminate the opiate vol1

Arnstein and Eskeles both financed the Tyrolese peasant
revolt against France and Bavaria.
Fanny's nephew, Benedict David Arnstein (1765-1841), son
of David Isaac, entered the banking business and was held in
high esteem in Viennese society as a writer-dramatist. His first
publication, an llluminatus propaganda piece, describes the
joy felt by Jewish families of Austria at the issue of the Toler-

The banking houses of Arnstein and Eskeles both
eventually ended in financial ruin in the early-nineteenth
century, as their wealth passed on to the increasing
competition of the Rothschild dynasty, and their religion which
they had long ago renounced in practice and belief, officially
changed to Christianity, such as in the case of Cecelia
Eskeles, whose entire family was baptized in 1824. When
Fanny Arnstein died, she endowed the Home of the Aged for
Catholic priests of Vienna, and was eulogized by none other
than N. H. Homberg (1749-1841), whom we met as co-
conspirator with Lillienthal and Geiger in Part I. Homberg was
a collaborator with Mendelssohn's Blur, on the Deuteronomy
translation. Mendelssohn considered Homberg competent

The Asiatic Brethren adopted Christian symbols 174 and
were required to eat pork and milk. Professor Scholem 175 has
proven that the Brethren were dominated by Sabbatian
conceptions.
While Dobrushka, founder of the Viennese Asiatic Lodge,
went to an early death, Ephraim Joseph Hirschfield (1755-
1820), a Frankist 176 and activist in Mendelssohn's circle, 177
was active with the Vienna Lodge, and was a missionary for
the Asiatic Brethren. He was described as its "central spiritual
pillar." 178 Hirschfield preached that he who occupied himself
with Kabbala could pass beyond the confines of the Catholic,
