Jews who desire to make easy their path to life by adopting Christianity will no longer be able to do so, if a movement started by a Catholic faction in Kiel is successful.

This group is opposing the collection of money by the Konsistorium for a Jewish mission. You can’t de-Judaize a man by religion, as Jewishness is more than faith, they contend, and a baptized Jew remains one, “internally”.
