The assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Itshak Rabin in 1995 raised profound questions about intra-community violence, particularly when an Orthodox Jew was the perpetrator. Historian Michael Stanislawski delves into a similar incident from 1848, where an Orthodox Jew murdered the Reform rabbi of Lemberg, marking a significant moment in Jewish history. This event is presented as the first recorded murder of a Jewish leader by a Jew since antiquity, setting a precedent for future conflicts within the Jewish community. Stanislawski's research uncovers previously inaccessible records, offering a comprehensive analysis of this pivotal case.
