Jewish Law, a Jew who rejects even one word of <strong>the</strong> Torah as<br />

being of Divine origin is <strong>to</strong> be cut off from his people, 33 so that<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r "Jewish" escape from Judaism was put in<strong>to</strong> operation.<br />

For all of Geiger's efforts on behalf of <strong>the</strong> Bund, he was clearly<br />

double-crossed.<br />

It was <strong>the</strong> Bund that had financed him since his college<br />

days. It was while Geiger was at Heidelberg that <strong>the</strong><br />

revolutionary Berthold Auerbach (1812-1882) 35 had scouted<br />

him out. His annual salary in Breslau was 800 thalers ($600). 36<br />

The rest of his salary came from wealthy members, which<br />

meant that he was at <strong>the</strong> mercy of <strong>the</strong> Bund. These<br />

unscrupulous people had used filthy and underhanded tactics<br />

<strong>to</strong> set him up in Breslau.<br />

The Bund front organization in that community was an<br />

llluminati lodge, <strong>the</strong> Geselschaft der Brueder (Society of<br />

Brethren), founded in 1779. 37 Agitation for Geiger came from<br />

<strong>the</strong>m. On <strong>the</strong> first day that Geiger was invited <strong>to</strong> be guest<br />

preacher at <strong>the</strong> Breslau synagogue, <strong>the</strong> Chief Rabbi of <strong>the</strong><br />

city, Salomon A. Tiktin, raised a protest against Geiger. The<br />

Jewish Encyclopedia author of Geiger's biography has<br />

attempted <strong>to</strong> hide <strong>the</strong> true nature of a police investigation by<br />

<strong>the</strong> Chief of Police of Breslau of Tiktin's complaint, claiming<br />

that <strong>the</strong> objection was that Geiger had spoken in German<br />

which was unheard of, and considered not in accordance with<br />

"Orthodox" practice. However, this is nonsense because<br />

Samson R. Hirsch who was portrayed by <strong>the</strong> Bund and in<br />

<strong>to</strong>day's anti-religious Jewish media as "ultra-Orthodox"<br />

delivered his sermons in German. The truth is closer <strong>to</strong> what<br />

Max Wiener reports in his book on Geiger. Wiener's remarks<br />

are reproduced here.<br />

Actually, this proved <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong> beginning of open warfare.<br />

Tiktin declared that Geiger was not deserving of his position,<br />

since he had attacked religion in his journal. Besides, Tiktin<br />

pointed out, Geiger was not even fit <strong>to</strong> hold Rabbinical office,<br />

since he had been graduated from a university. Rumor had it<br />
