Movement became by 1850 <strong>the</strong> dominant Jewish schism in<br />
Germany. 10 Having become a smashing success, he captured<br />
<strong>the</strong> loyalty of <strong>the</strong> majority of Jews born <strong>the</strong>re, although <strong>the</strong><br />
status of such Jews from God's Torah perspective was now in<br />
danger. Since Geiger continued <strong>to</strong> perform so well, he was<br />
rewarded again by having a marriage arranged between his<br />
nephew and a Schiff girl. 11<br />
Shortly before <strong>the</strong> Communist revolution of 1848 in<br />
Germany, <strong>the</strong> Jewish-directed activities of <strong>the</strong> Bund began <strong>to</strong><br />
be more pronounced and more complex. The new Reform<br />
movement was attracting new converts daily. The calculating<br />
callousness of <strong>the</strong> Bund for human beings and human<br />
emotions was fur<strong>the</strong>r manifested by <strong>the</strong> way thousands of lives<br />
were manipulated. People who were largely attracted <strong>to</strong><br />
Reform accepted <strong>the</strong> movement at face value on what <strong>the</strong>y<br />
considered <strong>to</strong> be its intrinsic worth or merits. Little did <strong>the</strong>y<br />
realize that <strong>the</strong>ir acceptance of this heresy would cause <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
descendants <strong>to</strong> be <strong>to</strong>tally lost <strong>to</strong> Judaism. Little did <strong>the</strong>y also<br />
realize that <strong>the</strong>y were being played for fools, and that lives<br />
were being <strong>to</strong>yed with and used by power hungry men on <strong>the</strong><br />
altars of ambition, success and politics. The Bund conceived<br />
of <strong>the</strong> ultimate plans for <strong>the</strong> secularization and destruction of<br />
Judaism. If <strong>the</strong> movements which <strong>the</strong>y set up were sincerely<br />
interested in preserving Judaism and acting as s<strong>to</strong>p gaps as<br />
<strong>the</strong>y claimed, <strong>the</strong>y would have long ago funneled and<br />
educated <strong>the</strong> masses with <strong>the</strong>ir vast resources in<strong>to</strong> a religious<br />
way of life in which <strong>the</strong> Torah is <strong>the</strong> central authority and <strong>the</strong><br />
binding law.<br />
