Communist Party in 1848), and were active in <strong>the</strong> Communist<br />

Revolution of 1848.<br />

Before taking leave of <strong>the</strong> Frankist elite, we should point out<br />

that David Friedlander (1750-1834), of Moses Mendelssohn's<br />

circle, was also prominent in <strong>the</strong> Reform movement and,<br />

interestingly enough, in 1799, prior <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> movement's<br />

creation, he wrote an anonymous letter <strong>to</strong> a Pas<strong>to</strong>r Teller on<br />

behalf of several heads of Jewish families asking <strong>to</strong> be<br />

received in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> fold of <strong>the</strong> Protestant Church on conditions of<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir own. 226 In <strong>the</strong> petition, <strong>the</strong>y asked if <strong>the</strong>y could be<br />

Christians without Christ. The reply sent <strong>to</strong> Friedlander was in<br />

effect that Christianity which left Christ out was meaningless.<br />

While we know that <strong>the</strong> Frankists embraced Mendelssohn's<br />

works and that his circle were involved with <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>the</strong> question<br />

is if Mendelssohn ever came directly in contact with <strong>the</strong><br />

Frankists. The answer <strong>to</strong> that question is a definite one, 227 for<br />

Mendelssohn met in Hamburg with Frankist Jonathan<br />

Eibeschutz in 1761 and, interestingly enough, Eibeschutz<br />

wrote an essay ex<strong>to</strong>lling Mendelssohn, which appeared in<br />

1838, long after his death, in a publication called Kerem<br />

Chemed. 228<br />

We can see from our study of <strong>the</strong> Frankists and <strong>the</strong>ir elite<br />

that <strong>the</strong>y were truly monsters. Indeed <strong>the</strong> concept has been<br />

preserved-and not by accident-in <strong>the</strong> novel Frankenstein,<br />

which deals with <strong>the</strong> creation of <strong>the</strong> Frankenstein monster.<br />

Mary Shelley (<strong>the</strong> wife of <strong>the</strong> famous poet Shelley) who wrote<br />

Frankenstein, was a member, <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r with her husband, of<br />

<strong>the</strong> llluminati. 229<br />

The symbolism inherent in <strong>the</strong> name Frankenstein is as<br />

follows. The word "Frank" stands for Jacob Frank, founder of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Frankists. The "en" is an Anglicization and abbreviation of<br />

<strong>the</strong> three letter Hebrew word "ayin," which means "eye," e<br />

resembles <strong>the</strong> first letter and n is for <strong>the</strong> last. "Stein" in<br />

German means "s<strong>to</strong>ne". In <strong>the</strong> symbol of <strong>the</strong> Cult of <strong>the</strong> All-<br />

Seeing Eye, as in <strong>the</strong> great seal of <strong>the</strong> U.S. found on <strong>the</strong><br />
