To Bogen, Cantoresq, intellegent,
Thanks to Cantoresq for his illuminating comments on the Neologs. For an excellent and comprehensive treatment of the split within Orthodoxy in Hungary 1868-9, refer to Jacob Katz’s book, “Hakera Shelo Nitachah”, “The Unhealed Breach: The Secession of Orthodox Jews from the General Community in Hungary and Germany”. For those who are unfamiliar with Jacob Katz (1904-1997), he was the preemininent Jewish historian of the last generation, in addition to being a student of the Hungarian and German Yeshivos and a talmid chochom in his own right. His stature is such that not only did he write books of history, but history books are now being written about him.
