Excerpt from Chassidism a Resume of Modern Hebrew Mysticism

Everyone acknowledges, though few acknowledge quite willingly, the services rendered to European culture, in modern times, by the Jewish race.

Dispersed through many countries, and subject in some of them to grave disabilities, the Modern Jew, using English, French, German, Russian, or the universal language of music or of marble, has impressed himself upon western civilisation with an energy and success almost directly in proportion to the rigour of the legal and social obstacles placed in his path. To a vast number of Englishmen and Frenchmen today, Heine stands for German poetry. If any injustice be done to the immense and varied contributions of the Jewish intellect to our science, our literature, our erudition, or our art, it is not that they are overlooked, but rather that they are insisted on with an excessive and malicious emphasis.

There is one aspect of modern Jewish activity, however, which has so completely escaped this general recognition that for the mass of educated Europeans it hardly exists at all. The singular aptitude with which the Jew masters the usages as well as the languages of the Gentiles, and the sordid and unlovely qualities - one must add - which he often develops in the process, easily blinds us to the richness and beauty of the traditions which he inherits as a member of the Jewish community itself. Heine's Prinzessin Sabbath and the Mordicai scenes in Daniel Deronda cast a gracious and tender revealing light upon the Jewish home. But no George Eliot has given the Gentile world at large any adequate impression of the extent and significance of the literature written in modern times by Jews, in their own language, for one another. Hebrew - a language of ritual - is also, and has never ceased to be, a living speech, actively cultivated, in prose and verse, by distinguished scholars, journalists, novelists, and poets, especially in Germany and Russia.
