We have noted that <strong>the</strong> followers of Rabbi S. R. Hirsch<br />

were able <strong>to</strong> partially foil <strong>the</strong> Haskala in Germany. However,<br />

his formulation of Torah and Culture was lacking a mystical<br />

element that could have been more conducive <strong>to</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

success. Why did it lack <strong>the</strong> mystical element? Mendelssohn's<br />

impact on German Jewry was so great that by <strong>the</strong> time Rabbi<br />

Hirsch came on <strong>the</strong> scene, it was virtually impossible <strong>to</strong><br />

introduce mystical elements in<strong>to</strong> religious creed for fear <strong>the</strong>y<br />

would be considered as superstition. It was only in <strong>the</strong> I930's<br />

that Hirsch's, grandson, Rabbi Isaac Breuer, finally attempted<br />

over one hundred and fifty years before <strong>the</strong> actual events that<br />

a holocaust was going <strong>to</strong> fall upon <strong>the</strong> Jewish people. They<br />

cited <strong>the</strong> Talmud in Tractate Sotah, 62 which asks <strong>the</strong> question<br />

as <strong>to</strong> why Samson's eyes were blinded in <strong>the</strong> city of Gaza.<br />

"Samson's corruption began in Gaza. Therefore, he was pun-<br />

ished in Gaza." As it is written (Judges 16:1) "And Samson<br />

went <strong>to</strong> Gaza and saw <strong>the</strong>re a whore." Therefore, he was<br />

punished in Gaza, as it is written, "And <strong>the</strong> Philistines seized<br />

him and put out his eyes and brought him down <strong>to</strong> Gaza" (Ibid<br />
