Yisrael,

I did a lot of reading about this topic some years back, and in light of what I read, I appreciate the breadth of your research and quality of your writing.

As far back as 1923, the journal "Menorah" published a five-part series of articles by Bernhard Wachstein appropriately entitled "The Ancestry of Karl Marx." So, the topic was of interest even a century ago.

Good work - looking forward to part II.

Firstly great article.

Not on this topic. I was wondering if you have any plans to write an essay adressing the challenges of comparitive religion to Orthodox Judaism.

You seem like just the kind of guy to be familiar with the details!
