Lecture on the Source of all Civilization, and the Means of Preserving our Civil and Religious Liberty

In this thought-provoking lecture, delivered in 1874, Rabbi Isidor Kalisch explores the links between ancient Near Eastern religions and the development of Western civilization. Arguing that the key to preserving our civil and religious liberty lies in a deeper understanding of these ancient traditions, Kalisch offers a provocative and insightful perspective on the roots of modern culture.
