] These persecutions, however, did not smother the fire of protest in thebreast of the excommunicated rural philosopher. In the last years of hislife he published two pamphlets, [1] in which he severely lashed theshortcomings of Jewish life, the early marriages, the one-sided schooltraining, the repugnance to living knowledge and physical labor.

Exhausted by his fruitless struggle, Menashe died, u...nappreciated and almost unnoticed by his contemporaries.
