I can pick you ten young men to prove it—out of those that heard you preach to-day!
How dare you say such a thing! Are you a Jew no longer? Am I speaking to a Christian?
Rafael.
You are speaking to a Jew who claims to-day and to-morrow as his own—not yesterday! A Jew who believes that it shall not be asked if a man worship in a synagogue or in a cathedral, in a chapel or in a mosque, or in silence and solitude under God's own dome! And the falsehood you have brought me up by; our hatred and our bigotry which keeps us away from them, our cursed earthiness which keeps them away from us—I loathe it all—I hate it—I will fight it as long as I live! I am a Jew—a Jew of to-day and to-morrow; and every man whom God created in his image is my brother!
The Rabbi.
The boy's gone daft! Daft!
Sachel.
No, not that; he's been poisoned—poisoned by this damned creature in my house! She's his——
The Rabbi.
