"This pamphlet is titled a new world and an upside-down world, after the upside-down actions of the new ones… who are present in our time". London, [1789].
This pamphlet, which was published anonymously in London in 1789 defies the trends of secularization which spread in the Jewish society in Western Europe and the liberal-modern ideas which the French Revolution, which occurred in that year, brought with it. The author details, among others, several examples of the changes that occurred in the Jewish society: teaching children foreign languages, women not covering their heads, growing one's hair, and more.
