“Jews began to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860″ —Encyclopedia Judaica 1971 Vol 10:23
Harrold Wallace Rosenthal: "We are what we are! No matter what we join or adopt it doesn't change what we ARE. I am a Jew and nothing can change me because I take up another religion. Such stupidity!"
