other Jews"? By the Rothschild's OFFICIAL biographer:
"To poorer Jews throughout Europe, Nathan Rothschild's extraordinary rise to riches had an almost mystical significance—hence the legend of the "Hebrew talisman," the magical source of his good luck, which became associated with him in Jewish lore. This extraordinary story—a version of which was published by an anonymous author in London just four years after Nathan Rothschild's death (1836)—imagined that the source of Nathan's financial success was his possession of a magical talisman. His wealth was in fact intended for a higher purpose: "to avenge the wrongs of Israel" by securing "the re-establishment of Judah's kingdom—then rebuilding of thy towers, Oh! Jerusalem!" and "the restoration of Judea to out ancient race."
"... because of their wealth, other Jews looked to them for leadership in their pursuit of equal civil and political rights. As we shall see, this leadership was forthcoming from a remarkably early stage... acquiring quasi-royal status in the eyes of other Jews."
