<p>1. Agree with change of identity loss to cultural loss. Be sure to also change it in the Introduction.</p>
<p>2. The only issue I have with the quotation/note is that you state that the Jews built ornate synagogues and then contrast/contradict that with the next paragraph about the Jews just wanting to get rich and leave (&ldquo;lack of permanent settlers&rdquo;).</p>
<p>3. Paragraph 3: Would leave cantors in the parentheses as it is the explanation for chazans (note the spelling; I did a google search and the term apparently has only one &ldquo;z&rdquo; though that is highlighted as wrong in Word on my screen). &nbsp;Agree with the learned rabbis/traditional rabbis switch.</p>
4. Body paragraph 4: When I read &ldquo;internal challenge,&rdquo; I immediately thought of groups of Jews against other groups of Jews on the issue of Sunday school. <br /> <br />5. Body paragraph 5: Seems you&rsquo;ve sorted out the issues with Mr. Levy. Definitely revise to show the divorce Levy granted was a religious one, not a legal one. &nbsp;If you do make this change (religious vs. legal), then you have to change the end of the Introduction.
