"TO ELIMINATE THE OPIATE" by Marvin S. Antelman

"The 'Conservative' Frankists of Vienna"

Until the first comprehensive English translation of the Talmud by Soncino Press appeared (1935-1952); a non-comprehensive translation by M. L. Rodkinson was the only one in existence. Most scholars utilizing his works were unaware that he was a sinister personality whose primary efforts to render portions of the Talmud into English was for the purpose of disinformation and for providing grist for anti-Semitic attacks on Jewry via careful distortion of selected words and mis-translation of Talmudic passages, and facilitating their use out of context. (p. 131)

Antelman describes Rodkinson as one of the men enlisted by the "Sabbatian Frankists conspirators of Vienna" to do their "dirty work". (p. 131)

Rodkinson lived a Frankist existence. He changed religions, forged passports and was chased by the police for fraud and forgery. His real name was M. I. Frumkin, but he used many aliases. Rodkinson edited a Hebrew paper called HaChozeh whose purpose was to convert Jews to Christianity. One of Rodkinson's Hebrew works reiterated the insidious "Blood Libel" that Jews utilized Christian blood to bake matzot for Passover....

This libelous information was widely circulated in Austria but did not prevent, in the words of Bloch, "prominent personalities of the Viennese congregation" to kindly receive Rodkinson. This group of "prominent personalities", of course, were the Frankist Sabbatians, who included Adolf Jellineck and Emmanuel Baumgarten. (p. 132)

Adolf Jellinek was a preacher in the Leipzig synagogue established by the Sabbatian-Frankist Zechariah Frankel. He was also the main teacher of Solomon Schecter who became founder of the American "Conservative" heresy of Judaism and its bastard counterpart of Israel, the Masorati cult. (p. 135)

A prominent financier of Rodkinson's operations was Baron Albert Roth[s]child....
What emerges from a close inspection of Viennese Jewry in the latter part of the 19th century is that its establishment is controlled by a Sabbatian Frankist underground, who through their influence on the infrastructure of the community and its media, could orchestrate innocent Jews into supporting their "causes". (p. 136-137)

Emanuel M. Baumgarten (1828-1908)....conspired in the crypto-Frankist attempt to develop their own "scholars" who would break the back of authentic Judaism. The Frankists achieved this through their nefarious institution (founded 1862) with the distinguished Hebrew title for a house of study "Bet HaMidrash". Among his top cohorts in the Bet HaMidrash were Isaac Hirsch Weiss and the Bet HaMidrash's founder, Adolf Jellinek....Jellinek (1820-1893) was a Moravian Sabbatian Frankist. Proof for his Frankism rests in correspondence between Jellinek and Sabbatian Aaron Chorin's ordained disciple, the Hungarian cleric Leopold Lowe (1811-1875), discovered by Professor Gershom Scholem, which he expounded in a lecture...at Boston's Hebrew College on November 30, 1975. The correspondence was loaded with Sabbatian-Frankist metaphor of a typical antinomian revolutionary character reflected in both their personal deeds. Lowe was a Marxist activist and agitated mobs against the Hungarian government.

Jellinek arrived in Prague in 1838 and worked in the revolutionary conspiracies with other Frankist Communists such as Michael J. Sachs (1808-1864) and Wolfgang Wessely (1801-1870). Sachs succeeded Leopold Zunz (Moses Hess' cousin) as head of the Prague Frankists...Jellinek promoted the Illuminist goals of destroying religions and formed the Kirchlicher Verein (church society) with Christian clergymen. It was a radical religious society aimed at destroying religious and moral values. (p. 137-138)
