Sought to uproot the Torah

Sought to uproot the Torah

Wanted that Torah would no longer be studied. Wanted the Torah to be forgotten from Israel.

(“Since the wicked kingdom sought to uproot the holy Torah, and Israel in that generation gave their lives for the Torah and the commandment, the Holy One, blessed be He, showed love and affection to Israel; therefore even on a weekday two Torah scrolls are taken out, as on Rosh Chodesh and Shabbat” – Kedushat Levi, Teachings for Hanukkah, Fifth Teaching; and likewise: “Among the bold ones were the Reform rabbis, who sought to uproot the Torah, so that Israel would not be different from all the nations” – Agnon / A Bundle of Stories, 192.)
