The Greeks [Ycvanim, i. E. The Greek Orthodox Russians] surrounded them with drawn swords, and with daggers and spears, exclaiming: "Why do you believe in your God, who has no pity on His suffering people, and does not save It from our hands? Reject your God, and you shall be masters! But if you will cling to the faith of your fathers, you shall all perish in the same way as your brethren in the Ukraina, in Pokutye, ' and Litliuania perished at our hands. " Thereupon Rabbi Eliezer, our teacher,... the president of the [rabbinical] court, ex- claimed: " Brethren, remember the death of our fellow-Jews, who perished to sanctify the name of our God! Let us too stretch forth our necks to the sword of the enemy; look at me and act as I do! " Immediately thousands of Jews renounced their lives, despised this world, and hallowed the name of God. The Rosh- Veshibah was the first to offer up his body as a burnt-offering. Young and old, boys and girls saw the tortures, sufferings, and wounds of the teacher, who did not cease exhorting them to accept martyrdom in the name of Him who had called into being the generations of mortals.
