observances of Religion, the true Jewish woman who can be pious
without bigotry practice them with sincerity & devotion. The poetical
symbols of our Religion are acceptable to her poetical & loving heart; she
will exercise around her such irresistible attraction that she will
succeed in winning her whole family over to her ideas & convictions.
Her example becomes their guide. Then all leaven really disappears
& for ever, from her house which she as thoroughly purified. She
will preserve a strong link between the Judaism of the past &
of the present; a wise adviser of her husband, an affectionate
teacher of her children, a Providence to the poor, a faithful
servant to the God of Israel, by preserving Judaism at home
she will preserve it everywhere. And if our sages attributed
to the virtues of the Hebrew women in Egypt, the deliverance
of Israel, future generations will in their turn bless the
memory of the women of the present & attribute to her
the safety our sublime Religion. "Give her" they will
say "the fruit of her hands and let her town works
praise her in the gales."
Amen.
