What?

> “Ethics were so little understood among the Jews that, in their whole compilation called the Talmud, there is only one treatise on moral subjects. Their books of morals chiefly consisted in a minute enumeration of duties. It may serve to give the reader some idea of the low state of moral philosophy among the Jews in the middle age, to add, that of the two hundred and forty-eight affirmative precepts, only three were considered as obligatory upon women; and that, in order to obtain salvation, it was judged sufficient to fulfill any one single all in the hour of death; the observance of the rest being deemed necessary only to increase the felicity of the future life. What a wretched depravity of sentiment and manners must have prevailed before such corrupt maxims could have obtained credit! It is impossible to collect from these writings a consistent series of moral doctrine.” **~ Thomas Jefferson**; *Memoir, Correspondence, & Miscellanies*, [p. 223](https://archive.ph/y2utv); 1830

It's always difficult to sort how the American forefathers thought of jews versus how jews today WANT me to believe the forefathers thought of jews.

I wonder if jews sorted through all Jefferson's writings before the American people ever got ahold of it. Apparently a jew bought his estate.

>Thomas Jefferson and his Democratic-Republican Party went on to win the election and repealed the Alien and Sedition Acts. After Jefferson died in 1827, his estate, Monticello, fell into disrepair. In 1833, Uriah P. Levy, a Jewish naval officer, bought it and restored it. According to the terms of his will, it was to be left to the US government upon his death. But when Levy died in 1862, the Civil War was underway and the Confederacy seized the property. https://jewishcurrents.org/the-long-jewish-relationship-with-thomas-jefferson

Not sure if true. again jews claim many things.

Here is excerpt i find of jefferson being too kind to jewry and even suggesting they be part of government

>"Jefferson returns his thanks to Dr. De La Motta for the eloquent discourse on the Consecration of the Synagogue of Savannah, which he has been so kind as to send him. It excites in him the gratifying reflection that his country has been the first to prove to the world two truths, the most salutary to human society, that man can govern himself, and that religious freedom is the most effectual anodyne against religious dissension: the maxim of civil government being reversed in that of religion, where its true form is "divided we stand, united, we fall." He is happy in the restoration of the Jews, particulary, to their social rights, and hopes they will be seen taking their seats on the benches of science as preparatory to their doing the same at the board of government. He salutes Dr. De La Motta with sentiments of great respect." Jefferson Correspondence Vol 6 p 119
