In part: ".<i>..When people get old, they always feel inclined to moralize, but I hope you won't attribute to this my desire to write you a few words of advice...You have behind you a great, a precious heritage of traditions, religion and history; treasure them [underlined], don't forget always to remain proud of your Jewish blood, your Jewish faith, and all that the latter represents in the history of the world...Without the Ten Commandments there would not be any religion. They are the stone on which the different faiths of the world repose, and you ought to be very proud to belong to the people chosen by the Almighty to receive this heritage. Cling to your Jewish faith...Persecution brings out the noblest traits in the human nature...You can't go amiss if you do so. And when you meet ignorant people who try to scorn your jewish race, and Jewish convictions, simply smile and pass on, they are not worthy of your attention...</i>".
