Summary:

This is a manuscript of a rejoinder to counter the program of reforms put forth by Max E. Lilienthal (1815-1882, German Jewish adviser to Sergey Uvarov, Russian minister of national education, later rabbi in Cincinnati) likely as an criticism of Magid yeshuʻah (printed in Vilnius, 1842), where Lilienthal draws plans to reform Jewish education in the Pale of Settlement according to principles of German Jewish enlightenment. Criticism mentioned in the work includes the author's suspicion that Lilienthal is working to assist the Czar, Nicholas I of Russia, to convert the youth to Russian Orthodoxy; the author suggests a numbered plan of education and employment which would allow the communities to avoid integrating into Russian society (f. 2r-v). Written in an Eastern European cursive script with paragraph breaks; item likely the holograph document to be printed and disseminated.
