Excerpt from Translations of a Letter Addressed by Sir Moses Montefiore, Bart., F. R. S., Member of the Most Noble Order of the Medjidie of the Second Class: To the Jewish Congregations in the Holy Land, on the Promotion of Agriculture and Other Industrial Pursuits in That Country, and of the Replies Received Thereto
It has ever been my earnest desire, since I first had the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the state of great poverty and distress that prevailed among you, to ameliorateyour condition and cause salvation to spring forth in the Holy Land by means of industrial pursuits, such as agricul ture, mechanical work, or some suitable business, so as to enable both the man who is not qualified to study, but is fully able (by his physical strength) to work, as well as the student, who, prompted by a desire to maintain him self by the labour of his hands, may be willing to devote the day to the work necessary for the support of his family, and the night to the study of the Law of God, to find the means of an honourable living.
