Avaspura, July 16, 1871. @ Not without little tiMculcies and inconveniences I have made my way to this city for the purpose of supplying you with a detailed account of the pro- ceeamgs of the above body, While in orainary times one travels with the greatest ease and com- fort through the length and breadtn of Germany— punctuality and speed being the rule with ratlway companies—it 1s nothing unusual now to be told at the depot that, owing to the (orwarding of troops, either Germau or French, such or sucn regular mail trains, to say nothing of the local trains, have been Gropped out, or that they have no seats left for the public. SECOND ISRABLITH SYNOD. The opening of this Synod took place in the forenoon of the 1ith inst, in the beautifal “Golden Hall.” A large assembly of Augsburg citizens, ladies an’ gentiemen, filled the seats and the standing space beyond. here were also pre- sent a number of Catholic clergymen, who listeved ‘attentively to the proceedings, Aiter the Augsburg Commitiee of Invitation bad grouped them-elves in a double row near the door the members of the Synod, most of tiem rabbies from all parts ot Ger- } many, but also including some teachers of religion, theological authors and professors, entered the hall two abreast, and seated themselves on @ semt- Cireuiar platform opposite that intended for the presiding officers, Accompanied by orchestral Wesic, w beautiful choral was sung by a choir com- yosed of young ladies of an Augsburg musical society. The chairman of the Augsburg Committee, Mr. ROSENSUSH noweweicomed the Synod, thanking It for having honored wbis city with tts presence tn order to contipue the noble work co.nmenced in the year 1869. fle expressed the hope that the discus sions would be guided by as irit of harmony and progress, and gave the assurance that the majority of the Augsburg ‘sraelttes were tavornble toward reforms which would reconcile the Mosaic fuith with the requirements of the present age. Protessor Lazar (Berlin) re vhed in a few feel- ing remarks, But, satd he, we must proceed in a practical way by first electing @ bourd o° officers and by deciding upon the rules wach are to govern our discussions, It was then resolved to adopt tne rules of the Lelpsic Synod. and, In the election of oM-ers which succeeded, Pro essor Lazirus was pamed by a larce mailority chairman of the Srnod. The vote for two vice-presidents resulied in the election of Radbdt Hr, Geiger (Berlin) and Dr. Komwoert (Vieuns), both men of considerable literary renown. The Hon, Joseph Baron Von Wertheimer (Vienna) nad been nominated, too, for vice president, but excased him- self on account of precarious neath. The Board now proposed as secreta ies Dr. Josepithal, lawye Nuremberg, and Dr. Wertheim, registrar, Berlin; as their adjuncts, Dr. Ortenan, Furth, and Dr. Moritz Bauer, Augsburg, allof whom ucceptea and took their seats, The Prosident Professor Lazarus, who,tt will be recollected, was chairman at botn the Cassel Con- gress 1n 1868 and the first Synod, Leipsic, 1369, now addressed the assembly in & speech which lasted nearly an hour. it may be stated for the benefit or those who have not read the HERALD spectul reports in the above years, that the pro. fessor 13 & savans of the hichest order, the founder of an important science namea “Nudoual Psychology.” @ much esteemed tecturer on history and philosophy at the Royal Pra-slan Military Academy ol Berlin, and an orator of rare €loquenve, Not over turty vears old, the son of a Tabb., he is versed iu Talmudic science and capavie Of audresstag his hearers im the Onental 10 the Laun, English, French, or avy modern language.

Dr. Auo (Berlin) reports upon the ritual O the marriage act, recommending the admissibility of TWO RINGS. The old Hebrew knew oothing of a wedding ring. The Talmud speaks ooly of @ present, however Worthless tt might be, which shall be handed by t bridegroom to the bride, ‘to-day two rings are enernily made use of; in the English State Church, owever, but one ring. The commitiee were not in javer of an exchange of rings, but they wished to leave the question a3 to one or two rings an open ‘one, to be settled in each case by the parties to be married. ‘The bride may hand the ring to her partner, pronouncing ihe words, *Anee tedo- dqve vedod le.” Some objection was made against the bride immediately handing a rug te the pridegroom. Some orthodox casulsts conceived this an annulment of what liad just been agreed to between both partis, Rev. Dr, Wasserman (Wur- temberg) looked upon the whole subject as a petty one, gOT Up tO suit Che taste of fasnionabdle ladies, It smacked of Women’s emancipation, Now all the reverends became anxious to join the debate, and Protessor Lazarus announced a long list of speak- ers who had entered their names, fev. Dr. Geiger (Berlin) explained that the ring 1s only @ symbol; that tne consent of bo'h partis tu the marriage Must pave been previously declared, and that the bride sould unquestionably be entitled to share the symnolic act. At last the vote being taken a large majority were In favor of tke admission of two rigs. The next point was whether or not the bride should be allowed to pronounce, after being spoken tw by the bridegroom “:e wedded unto me,” and, having received. the ring, some words of reply. Tue Majority again decided that there ia no objection to ber making an appropriate and short reply. Au adjournmeut was tien moved and carried. Third Sitting. The debate on ‘Ritual ot Marriage” was con- unved. “Shall a person who does not observe all the Jewish rites bo refused a8 @ witness to a mar- riage?’ Grand Rabbi Dr. Low (Szegedin) adduced an in- stance of the marriage act having been performed twice im one day between one and the same couple, ow.ng to some flaw in the reitgious qualifications of @ witness, He knew of other cases where the mar- Tiages were considered invalid because @ witness had conceated that he once had a collision witn the re- venue laws, and anovher witness was convicted of not having closed his shop on a Sabbath. Nearly all tnos: who took part in the debate ad- mitted that non-observance of the orthodox ritual- would not warrant the presumption of a witness’ lucredibuity. It was then voted, almost unani- mously, that tite exclusion of witnesses (to the mar Triage act) wno do not observe the ritual shall not be deemed applicable any longer. Rev. Dr. AUB continued his report upon tne mo- tion, “Marriages may take place in future between Pesach aad Shawnoth (Pentecost and Whitsuntide) the so-called time of Sepherah.” t was siown by him that the tradition of misfortune threateniug during tnat period was based upon supersti- uon, Nether the Talmud nor Maimonides makes mentioa of it, Rev. Dr. Landaa (Dresden), in bis report, points to what is said intne Megillath, “The sorrowa of Israel have so accumulated that tue dies istes can no longer be singled out,” and saya that if Sepherah ts observed on thit ground not a day throughout the year would ve leit for marrage. Rev. Dr. Geiger’s re- port is aull. more to the point, for it nolds that all these tradiuonal days of mourning, on which the performance of the marriage act is prohibited up to this very day, we “a real misfortune.” Atter a Tull discussion of ail the points bearing on the case, tne motion, “Marriages are admissible hitherto between Pesach avd Shawnoth,” was agreed to unaniuuously. vr. AUB LOW proposed to re‘er several motions Wiich the committee had not yet fuliv discussed, es- Peciaily those relating to divorce proceedings, to a new committee Of five, to be appointed by the chair- mano the Synod.

Its non-observance is no impediment to the remarrying of the widow,’ but it meets with some opposition from those who, less radical, would like to preserve the institution with certain madifications. Rev. Dr. Adler (Cassel), for Instance, proposes to ascertain in each case the will of the parties, and make a record of it. They may thus accept or reject the Cha izah, A compromise was effected by the motion:— “Widows or widowers may remarry without regard e the Caatizah, but rabbes, requested by the parties attend to this part of tne ritual, shall not retuse their services,” Adopted by a majority, Motion of Dr, Jellinek (Vienna) has reference to a Talmudic law of marriage, which has laid down certain conditions respecting proselytes. At that ancient time those wno became converts were pre- viously heathens, while now, in the caxe of roselytes, they had previously belonged to a Chris- jan church, Hence it is proposed that the Augs burg Synod declares the abrogation of tue said law. Unantmonsty adopted, With a view to tne condition of Hebrews in some States, the chairman added an observation to this unanimous vote:—“Gentiemen,” he sald, “though the proposition was one entirely seif-understood, and so felt by ail of yon, it was, nevertheless, neces =e bs Synod should frame this resolution and lopt 1 A motion of Rev.

The names of the members of the Committes on the Ritual of Marriage and Divorce are Revs. Drs. Aub, Geiger (Berlin), Goldsmidt (Leipsic), Dr. Leamaun (Dresden), and Dr. Josephstnal (Nuremburg). Fifth Sitting. The Committee's report ou the observance of the Sabbath and Holidays was presented by Dr. A. Winer, rabbi at Oppelu. With great lucidity tnis report treats, in particular, of the driving in carriages or rallways, in carriages when drawn by oue’s own horses, or when by a hired team, on Sabbaths and holidays. It admits that {n no portion of the ritual the Talmud is more prolix than in thé prohi>itional clauses relating to a desecration of the Sabbath. The opinions of learned rabbies are cited, begin- ning with their teachings in the third century, and showing what modifications nave gradually obtained. Physical laws are also brought to vear on this ques- tion, the structure of vehicles, &c., and 1t 13 shown everywhere in conflict with the present age. By reference to the HERALD’s report of the Letpsic Synod, tt will be seen that a commitiee was charged With the investigation of the foilowing questions:— First—Shall it be admissible, in cases where the domicile is distant from tne syuagogue, or where age or sickness would otherwise forbid participa- tion tn worship, 0 proceed on Sabbaths and holi- days, either by railway or in @ horse carriage, to such places of worship? Some lew and weak objections—sucnh as those who ‘wilt not walk may stay at home and there say tuetr prayers; or keep your hands off the Sabbath if you donotaim at the ruta of Jewisn faith, made by the Rev. Selisghberg (feliheim), were promptly met by the hberal majority, wuo contended that the Hebrew religion was @ religion ot reason and not of casuistry, Some of the younger metbers, of an orthodox turn, thought it dangerous to mtroduce novelties In observances honored for thousands of years. They showed their biblical lore by speaking of the techum (the circumvatiation or boundary of @ town), to go beyond which on the Sabbath was a crime the shebdilat behemto ; the command to give rest to animals, schimusch behan'e chajim, not allow them or their driver to work; and scima Jachtox, which imeans.as Tam told, “nut to beat them with a switch cnt from a tree standing near the roaJ.’? What a long sentence squeezed down in Hebrew to the two words schma jachtok! But the majority never wavered, and thé first question be- ing put to vote upon it was answered in the aifirm- ative. Second—May the same (driving on railways or teams) be allowed In cases where otherwise the dis- charge of a duty of benevolence would — e delayed or altogether prevented? Answered afirmaively by the majority. Third—May this permission be extendea to cases where the object sought for is instruction or pleasure ? A lively discussion arose, in which the Orthodox fought hard and finally obtained two siight amend- ments. The Synod answered the third question thus: “This permission may be exteuded, &., ‘&c., where object sought toris instruction or rec- reation (German: Erauiung), but not for purposes of business.’” Fourth—Shall the aforesaid permission be re. stricted to railways and hired horses, or inciuue the employ of “own” horses ‘This produced another hot and lengthy debate and discussion of Talmudic iaw, which sets up mice dis- tunctions oetween the working of one’s own animals on @ Sabbath, or those from @ livery stable. Final ly and with excellent good sense, the Synod refused to waste any more of its valuable tiie upou a ques- tion of such insignificant nature, and with the con- sent of the majority, queation fourth was dropped altogether. THR BANQUET given to the members of the Synod was @ very cre- ditabie and pleasant affair, Though the namber of Israelite families in AnrE issmall, only a little over one hundred, yet they are most ail of them wealthy, and feel proud of entertaining the members of ‘he Synol or Sanhedrim. It is not s ur- prising, therefore, that the solids and fluids dis- cussed on this occasion were of the best. In counec- tion with fluids, THE TOASTS at this banquet were also tighly interesting. Pro- fessor Lazarus, with words of weil-merited praise, offered the first to the youthful King of vavaria, Other toasts which succeeded were to the Second Synod, the City of Angsburg and the Committce of Seo bya) Rabbi Dr. Goldschmidt (Letysie), in & beautifnl address showed the correctness of Rabbi Ben Akiba’s motto: *‘Nothing new under tne Sun |? For a like Synod had met 1,500 years ago tu Usscha, Babylouia. Rapbdi Dr. Aud, @ Bavarian by birth, was rewarded ‘with endiess cheers for @ discourse tceming with patriotism. The learned rabbies did uot forget to give @ toast to the Naw YORK Herat, saying tnat it nad been their stanch friend at Cassel, Leipsic and Augsourg, and that they hoped it would pe so always. Ot this your correspondent assured them, asking in revurn that they should empty glasses to the modern potentates—steam aud electricity. Sixth Sittiog. A report was made on the motion by Rabbi Dr. A Wiener (Topelu), to wit:—“The playing of the organ on Sabbath by a Jew is not objectionable.” The learned Doctor adduced many reasons in favor of tuis motion, particularly that, being for religious purposes aad to elevate the solemnity of worship, 16 contd not be ciassified as labor. The Synod took the same view, and the motion ‘was unanimously adopted, with the excepuon of a single dissenting vote. The next motion, offered by Rabhi Dr. GErarn, relates to the ritual in accepting proselytes. It was argued thas rabbinical writings did not approve of all the minu‘e aetail which had gradually become a custom. Raobit Dr. Aub cited the Taimad to show “that it considers morality of such importance as to justify even @ violation of the commands of the ‘Thora.’ The Synod thereupon unanimonsly agreed to declare ‘that:—‘‘Having*complied with the pre- lyminary conditions, the female convert, taking what is calied tho ‘proselyte bath,’ need have as Witnesses but two respectable women.’? Next in order 1s a report by Rabbi Dr. Adier (Cassel), upon the so-catiea “Cultus” question. The liturgy, It has been asserted, had caused disuaton in many Jewish circies and it ought to be reformed. The Synod resolved to table this subject. Rabht Dr. Hikscure.pr (Augsburg) proposed to hold m tuture two Kinds of worship, oue to suit the orthodox auf the other tu suit those who attend but very seldom the synagogue. ‘Lhis was alsy laid on the table. Dr, ADLER Now reported upon a motion offered by Professor Sulz@ (Vienna), to wit:—‘Itis desirable that more stress be laid upom singing m synagogues and upon instructiag teachers Lu cantorship.’” Inthe leagthy disensston which ensued several members wished that this matter be leit to the dis- eretion of each diocese. Finally a motion, offered by Dr, Kompert (Vienna), the Second Vice President of the synod, to wit;— “lt is recommended that Jewish seminaries instruct teachers in siuging, and further recommend to es- tablish inatitations for the purpose of traintag Wan- tors,’ was adopted by & large majority, ‘rhe Feast of Chaunkah, or, rather, il8 more dig- Ditied celebration, was the object of @ motion te Feilchenteld (rabbt at Calm), which, having n joined in by Dr. Szanto’, caused a lively dehate. Several members expressed their astonishment and admiration at such success, In their own flocks at home the Chanukah did not excite much commended to al!

Rabbi WITTELSHOFER (Floss)—The establish- ment of a central! statistical bureau keeping record of all institutions and other essential affairs con- cerning Judaism in Germany, Key, Rabbi WITTELSHOFER—To provide for the necessary arrangements in order to facilitate the servants’ and dependents’ attendance at worship. Rabbi Dr. GkuNgeBaUM (Landaa)—To abolish the Pxeho , Schema, Orla and Syrrus, As stated in the HER report of July 26, 1869, of the Synod at Leipaie, a decision had been asked by Dr. Engel (Vieana) and Professor First (Leipsic) on the following two essential question: First—Is a boy born of aJewish mother, and, for some reason of other, not elroumoised, to be considered a Jew According to éxisting raies ? ‘Seoow—If the foregoing should be answered affirmatively, how. shall such indivianal be treated alterwards, either sui Jectively or objectively, on certain ritual occasion ? These weighty points, said the chairman, had caused long and ardent discussions in the special committee, He would now read their report, which had been agreed to by all of them as well as in a committee of the whole, There would yet be added ro 1b abundant evidence in support of their decision, It says:— ‘The Synod, while taking the ground that the great tmport- ance of eiretmcision is untvervally acknowledged, declares frannwer to the question propounded to ty thats ‘boy bora by a Jewish mother and for some reason oF another not cir oumeised Js pevertheless, and in keeping with the laws up- held and respecte! by Israelites, to be considered a Jew ‘and to be treated ag such in all matters relating to the ritual. ‘This interesting decision being now put to vote, was unantmousty endorsed by the Assembly. While the f.ct that not a single dtssentient voice had been recorded was groeted with cheers by the members an old patriarch, with long white beara, dressed iu the Oriental style, black silk surtout, while fez. colored sash, wearing a gold medal on his breast and supporting himsell on & gold-headed staty, entered the hall. He was conducted to @ seat and soon surrounded by many members, who eeted him in Hebrew, Turkish and other Oriental languages, Which were all understood by bim. His position, Iam told, is that of Onief of the ‘‘Karaites,” a@ remnant tribe of Israel, some 6,000 strong, Bring. in the Crimea, and obeying religious laws whic materially differ from the Talmudic, Tne patriarch is eighty-nevev years of age. Adjournment moved anu carried. Eighth Sitting. The CHAIRMAN made known that this would be the last meeting of the Synod. The stenographic report and a separate resumé of the resolutions would soon appear in print and be sent to the mem- bers, They were now requested to listen to the reading of a series of resolutions which owed their origin to the Rey. Dr. Jacob Auerbach, of Frankiort, and had been revised by a special committee and in @ committee of the whote. Dr. SzANTO (Vienna) now read these resolutions, which evidently amount to a MANIFESTO OF THE SYNOD. It being rather lengthy I will bo excused for giving it na conderised form:— Fird—The Augsburg Israelite Synod declares that Judaum, having passed through several phases of development, has now arrived at a highly important juncture, The spirit of the trae knowledge of God and of veritable moraity more and more pervades the nations, and is documented fu their ‘social condition, in art ‘Second—While the rubs unalterable the vast changes which convictions of mankind reautre «renovation of i Th ism has never recognized a contrast between faith and knowledge; it ts therefore entirely in couformity with ite inmost principles, and with ite reverence for the ast, if it now alms to remove, in a spirit of progressive en- Rgntment, that which 1s antiquated and obstructive. urth-The Synod purports to be the organ of this move- ment, Itwill prevent the loosening of the ties which bind together their Israelite brethren, and wil) promote the inter- ests common to Fifvh—Ite oniy power ts the rer of truth, of serious con- viction and firm purpose. The Synod is well aware that, with means auch aa these, it will surmount ail impediments lace in the forms. and ultimately secure the victory . ‘Sigth—The Ssnod is not pariy, it does not intend to split the brethren, but vouchsat of opinion toall. A! harmonizing & work of reconclila- ing at the preservation of laigm the present time it hopes to aecompi thon. ‘The reading of these articles wag greeted by loud cheers, They were .hen put to vote and unanl- mously adopted. The Chairman (Professor Lazanvs)—Gentiemen, it would have been impossibie to have wound up our labors with @ more dignified act than that to which you have just now unanimously consented. Continuing he in thanked Augsburg and its citi- zens for their generous hospitality, and, giving retrospective view of the labors of the Sy: and o! the moral coura‘e alsplaved by it, entered upon a historical investigation of Judaism. This discourse, delivered in the most unassuming man- ner, yet impressive and highly eloqnent, with many citations In Hebrew from the Talmud and the Prophets elicited the unlimited admiration of his hearers. Several hundred ladies and gentlemen, who had come to witness the closing ceremony, were seated on the floor of the sp us ball, an Iisteved with breathleas silence. Ei ve hung upon the iips of the learned and yet yout speaker, Wio was rapturously applauded oy the old rabbies. ‘The Vice President, Dr. KoMrsRT (Vienna), now called upon the Rey, Rabbit Dr. Low (Szegedin; to tender thanks to the Chatrman, which having been done by him in a beantiful and soul-stirring speech, during which all the members had stood up, Pro- tessor Lazarus announced tae close of the second Israeiite Synod. ‘OR S.
