On the 12th February the _Sanhedrin_ met again formally and commenced its deliberations as to the plan of organization. During the ensuing March the Deputies from Holland, Moses Solomon Asser (1754‒1826),¹ Moses Leman (1785‒1832), the learned Polish Jew, Juda Litvak (1760‒1836), and the delegates of Frankfort-on-the-Main were admitted into the _Sanhedrin_, and declared, in the name of their constituents, that they would adhere to the doctrinal decisions of the great _Sanhedrin_ of France and Italy.² The President answered both delegations in _Hebrew_, congratulating them upon their resolutions, and also the Assembly on having them in its midst, and himself on having to answer coreligionists from a community so highly distinguished for its piety, and now governed by a just and liberal Prince, from whom the friends of humanity had everything to hope and expect. In brief, he considered himself fortunate in having to congratulate the Deputies of a country in which equal participation in the common rights of men had long since been granted to all the inhabitants, including the _Israelites_, who were quite as industrious as the best of the citizens. The President afterwards gave a discourse in French, which made a most favourable impression on the Assembly, and offered them the opportunity of expressing their gratitude to the great man whom Providence had chosen to be the instrument of its blessings and its miracles. He expressed the most sanguine hopes as to the salutary influence which that august Assembly and its labours would have upon the future destiny of the Jews. Having expressed sentiments of lasting devotion to all his colleagues, who had been convoked by the voice of this great man, from the Pyrenees to the borders of the Maine, and from the shores of the Adriatic to the Zuyder Zee, to form a religious Assembly unparalleled in modern history, and having done justice to the talents of the two Assessors, he paid, in the name of the _Sanhedrin_, a tribute of homage to the Commissaries of the Emperor, _MM._ le Comte Louis Matthieu Molé (1781‒1855), Etienne Denis, Baron et Duc _de_ Pasquier (1767‒1862), le Comte Joseph Marie Portalis (1778‒1858), and others, whose assiduity, zeal and indulgence had so powerfully contributed to the success of the common cause. _M._ Abraham Furtado (1756‒1816) afterwards proposed a vote of thanks to the Chief of the Grand _Sanhedrin_, which was adopted with acclamation. _M._ Michael Berr (1780‒1847) then read the Procès Verbal, and the President concluded by announcing that the sittings of the _Sanhedrin_ were closed.³ ¹ Great-grandfather of the eminent Dutch Jurist, Tobias Michael Carel Asser (1838‒1913).
