Antelman to eliminate the opiate vol1

such as instrumental music on July 17, 1810. However, as late
as the 1930's, German Reform had never psychologically
accepted the mixing of the sexes in its worship. Men and
women continued to have separate sections in European
Reform temples though they blasphemously believed that
men, not God, composed the Torah, but even this radical idea
was not a sudden one. It was predicated on basic policies that
seem to be initially innocuous as well as the Declaration of
Principles (1843) of the Verein der Reform Freunde of
Frankfurt, Frankfurt's Reform Society. The principles read as
follows: 15
1. We recognize the possibility of unlimited development in
the Mosaic religion.
2. The collection of controversies, dissertations and
prescriptions commonly designated by the name
Talmud, possesses for us no authority from either
dogmatic or religious considerations.
The initial thrust was philosophically Karaitic, an attack on
the Talmud. The intermediate stage was complete apostasy,
an attack on the Torah. However, the final state is even worse
because although the original Reformers embraced universal
ethics of the Noahide laws, it has followers today who are now
calling for abolition of capital punishment in our society, who
endorse abortion, who seek to justify the tolerance of criminal
elements, who approve of adultery and illicit sexual relations,
and who have even incorporated homosexual congregations
into their structure, and find praise for "atheistic" rabbis. And in
their schemes (after the fashion of Reform clergymen Klausner
and Eisendrath), some have even found room for Jesus in the
Jewish scheme of things.
