Excerpt from Initiation of Youth: Containing the Principles of Judaism, Adapted for the Period of Confirmation, Arranged in a Catechetical Form

Blossom may be considered which produces no fruit, so is it with religion that effects no morality; and, as fruits cann'ot be expected without blossom, thus we never can see morality without religion rs mm rs are won: wavy p wfr'm tn we as mm rs rm jaw rs as ms Tn man PR NW PR ON tint PR man Rabbi Eleazer ben Azaryah said If there be no knowledge of the law, there can be no correct worldly conduct, and if there be no correct worldly conduct; there is certainly no law; if there be no wisdom, there is no fear of God; and if there be no fear, there is no wisdom. (chapters of the Fathers, or the Ethics, chapter iii. Numerous works have therefore been written on the important subject of religious education and on that of confirmap tion. Several school books treating on the principles of our sacred creed, have lately ap peared in diverse languages; so that a mere catalogue of the names of the authors who have written on this subject, with the titles of their works, would almost occupy the whole space of the scantv manual which I venture to laybefore the indulgent public; to claim original ity would, therefore, be most presumptuous and arrogant. Useful as the above productions may be, I have still found myself compelled to deviate from their methods. Some appear to me too prolix and too minute, whilst others I con sider have treated many important objects with too much indifference. This manual has not been written for idle vanity, or to share the poor laurels of the numerous religious authors; but it had its origin during a course of tuition and conversa tion on religious matters with my pupils and friends, who seemed desirous that I should put my ideas into a succinct form. I have also especially designed it for the use of my young brethren at the period of their confirmation. They will, I trust, through the medium of my publication, obtain a clear idea of God and of his sacred and immutable law, calculated to procure for man temporal happiness and celestial salva tion - they will obtain, I hope, as much know ledge of the religion of their ancestors as Judaism can demand of its attached and sincere votaries; and will, if they study attentively, be come so strongly imbued with the true spirit of.
