Book excerpt: Napoleon, the French Emperor, invaded Czarist Russia in the Franco-Russian War of 1812. The war ended in defeat for the French, with the Russians, referring to this as the Patriotic War, emerged victorious. Napoleon was in the process of liberating Jews from their enforced living in European ghettos, intending to emancipate and integrate them into modern French society. Emancipation of the Jews was a key byword, and many Jews hailed Napoleon as their benefactor and savior. To achieve fullest integration, Napoleon created a modern version of the Jewish Supreme Court, the Great Sanhedrin, to answer questions regarding Jewish belief, laws and their ability as well as intention to integrate into modern society. The head of the Sanhedrin was Rabbi David Sinzheim, Chief Rabbi of Strasbourg, France. However, opposed to French emancipation of the Jewish community was the first Chassidic leader, the Rebbe of Chabad, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi. He was so opposed to French emancipation efforts that he directed a member of his community, a man with multi-lingual talents, to offer his services as a translator of documents. In reality however, he acted as a spy and passed French military plans to the Russians. We are aware of this clandestine effort by way of a letter Rabbi Shneur Zalman wrote to the spy, explaining his rationale for acting this way. The rabbi felt that emancipation would reduce Jewish reliance on religious devotion and prayer, while emancipation would provide material benefit with a consequent loss of piety and religious adherence. The letter from the Rabbi adds a dimension of thinking why he was so opposed to Napoleonic success. At the time this was taking place, Jews were subjects of the Czarist Empire, mandated to live in the Pale of Settlement, a region rife with anti-Semitism, pogroms, penury and poverty. But such living conditions, the rabbi felt was preferable to emancipation. Hence, this strange policy was applied, even to Jews who were not Chassidic, not members of this sect or community. After the Second World War, Chabad changed dramatically. No longer could the policy of their first Rebbe be imposed on Jews. Because of the massive anti-Semitism exhibited by the Nazis and their many willing allies who assisted them in murdering Jews, the notion of living under Christian (or Muslim) domination was no longer viable. The last Chabad Rebbe, instead introduced a Messianic message, praying for, and encouraging others to work towards, the arrival of the Messiah. This book describes Jewish suffering, both in the period when Rabbi Shneur Zalman was alive, as well as in the long term, particularly in the last millennia when Jews faced great persecutions and no less than 48 separate expulsions. This volume questions the logic of Jewish suffering as a necessary prerequisite for Jewish belief and practice to be viable. This policy offers the pertinent study of the period when the question of Jewish suffering was deemed key to Judaism, but while enormous anti-Semitism was present. Yet, after the Second World War, an entirely new reality was introduced for Jewish survival.
