What reading level is Jewish Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mendelssohn must have found such questions increasingly difficult to answer or to parry. Their very talents, which enlarged the boundaries, must have made his clever children rebel against the limitations which were so cruelly imposed. His eldest son Joseph early developed a strong scientific bias ; how could this be utilised ? The only profession which he, as a Jew, might enter, was that of medicine, and for that he had a decided distaste : perforce he was sent to commercial pursuits, and his ...especial talent had to run to waste, or, at best, to dilettantism. When this Joseph had sons of his own, can we wonder very much that he cut the knot and saved his children from a like experience, by bringing them up as Christians ?
Mendelssohn himself, all his life through, was unswervingly loyal to his faith. He took every disability accruing from it, as he took his own especial one, as being, so far as he was concerned, inevitable, and thus to be borne as patiently as might be. To him, most certainly, MOSES MENDELSSOHN 133 it would never have occurred to slip from under a burden which had been laid upon him to bear.
