Delivered on the eve of the American Civil War, this speech offers a unique perspective on the issue of slavery from a Jewish theological standpoint. Raphall argues that the Bible does not condemn slavery outright and that it can be a humane institution when properly regulated. While his arguments are controversial today, this speech offers a fascinating glimpse into the moral and religious debates that consumed America in the years leading up to the war.
