Excerpt from The Menorah, Vol. 6: A Monthly Magazine; January to June, 1889

We find 'john Simon's young heart turned towards his people, his co-religionists, and his mind devoted to the study of the Law, the Torah. 'yet although the Rabbins have said this is the beginning of wisdom, have insisted that it is above all else, and though John Simon found it the sweetest and most desirable study we find him giving up the weer of a minister or rabbi for the study of English juris prudence.

Yet his true Jewish heart cannot turn aside entirely from that which it yearns for, and we find that as this man gains influence, rank and means, he loses no opportunity for making use of his position in ameliorating the condition of his brethren both in England and abroad. No sacrifice of time or money, nay, even health, is too great for him to make when the welfare of Israel is in jeopardy.

In the history of a nation we read the secrets of God's Providence written in a large hand, whereas in the lives of individual men the letters are written so much smaller that we cannot always make them out, and Often have scarce had time to learn their meaning ere life is ended, and it is too late to derive any benefit other than that of imparting a lesson to our children.
