The following pages are from the 1836 book A
Resident in Constantinople, and are about
a book written by an Hasidic rabbi who
converted to Christianity and became a Greek
Orthodox monk, and revealed how Hasidic
Jews ritually murder Christians.
The following I found in an 1828 American magazine,
and is about the same
rabbi-turned-monk's book. The article's author had
read a copy of the book
in Constantinople, and says the first chapter
concludes:
" ' When I was thirteen years old, my father revealed to me the mystery of the blood, and cursed me by all the elements of heaven and earth, if ever I should devulge the secret, even to my brethren ; and when I was married, and should even have ten sons, I should not discover it to all, but only to one, who should be the most prudent and learned, and at the same time firm and unmoved in the faith ; but to a female I should never disclose it on any account. May the earth, he said, never receive thee, if thou revealest these secrets. So said my father ; but I, since I have taken as my father the Lord Jesus Christ, will proclaim the truth in every place, and, as the wise Sirac says, even unto death strive for the truth. ' " pp. 13—15.
