Summary
"One might argue that this act of benevolence between a Jew and his Christian neighbors could have occurred only under the special circumstances of religious freedom and social fluidity that existed on Pennsylvania's postrevolutionary frontier. But recent research shows that such incidents occurred in the Old World as well, even in the settled traditional estate society of the Holy Roman Empire from which Levy's Christian neighbors had come."
