Demoralizing Effect of Shlakhta Rule The transition of Polish Jewry, or, at least, of a considerable portion of it, from the power of the 68 Jews of Russia and Poland kings into that of the Pans, was accompanied not only by its economic deterioration but also by its moral decline, and had not the Jew been saved by his staunch adherence to his religion, this deterio- ration would have resulted in utter degeneration. For during the royal period of Polish-Jewish history the influences both friendl...y and hostile to the Jew, such as the kings, on the one hand, and the Church and the burghers, on the other, were of an impersonal character. They were guided, even in Poland, by impersonal principles, and they could be won over or fought off by impersonal means. During the second period, however, the welfare of the Jews depended entirely on the personal disposi- tion of an unprincipled, or rather non-principled, Shlakhta, whose favour or disfavour could be ob- tained or averted only by a loss of personal self- respect.
