It is in these countries, too, that religious indifference has been brought about without the help of a reform move- ment. Even orthodox Jewry itself, in modern Eu- rope, is gradually being carried away by the current, as can be seen by the fact that the most important function of Rabbinism, namely, its jurisdiction, has disappeared, without the slightest protest on the part of orthodoxy.^ Reform has only gone a step further — to raise this groundless negation to the rank of a principle, or, as... remarked above, has sanctioned unbelief. We could well afford not to begrudge the reformers their laurels, had they not persuaded them- selves that they had created something positive. Imi- tating Christian reformers of an earlier age, they set up the Bible, in contradistinction to the Talmud, as the positive content of regenerated Judaism, and by this anachronism, which was merely an imitation of a foreign movement, they only made themselves ridiculous.
