Isaac Leeser
The Claims of the Jews to an Equality of Rights is a book written by Isaac Leeser in 1841. The book is a collection of letters that Leeser wrote to the editor of the Philadelphia Gazette, arguing for the rights of Jews in America. Leeser’s letters are a response to an article in the Gazette that argued against granting Jews equal rights. In his letters, Leeser defends the Jewish religion and culture, and argues that Jews should be treated as equal citizens in America. He also addresses common misconceptions about Jews, and argues that they are a valuable and productive part of American society. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggle for Jewish rights in America in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
