    Moses Mendelssohn (6 September 1729 – 4 January 1786) was a German-Jewish philosopher and theologian. His writings and ideas on Jews and the Jewish religion and identity were a central element in the development of the Haskalah, or ‘Jewish Enlightenment’ of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Born to a poor Jewish family in Dessau, Principality of Anhalt, and originally destined for a rabbinical career, Mendelssohn educated himself in German thought and literature. Through his writings on philosophy and religion he came to be regarded as a leading cultural figure of his time by both Christian and Jewish inhabitants of German-speaking Europe and beyond. His involvement in the Berlin textile industry formed the foundation of his family’s wealth.

    His descendants include the composers Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn; Felix’s son, chemist Paul Mendelssohn Bartholdy; Fanny’s grandsons, Paul and Kurt Hensel; and the founders of the Mendelssohn & Co. banking house.

    Lesson of the day: Do not tell the teachers to not ruin your perfect day. They’ll do it regardless.

    When I was a kid, I owned the Peanuts treasury book that this strip was in. It started with the Charlie-Brown-on-the-lam storyline. It’s nice to see strips from that timeframe again. :)

    The chicken or the egg, Patty? Ask a teacher not to ask hard questions, and they’ll ask them.

    I may or may not have known that at Patty’s age, but if I did know it, it wasn’t because it came up in school.

    I went to Catholic school, studied religion at Penn State and later, and I had to look that one up. (I do know Pesach begins at sundown today.)

    Man, this teacher is murder. I never heard of Moses until seminary, and then only in philosophy class. In my elementary days, the hard question might’ve involved Thomas Edison or Abraham Lincoln.

    Hardly a typical topic for the 4th grade, even in 1977.

    Found another “quirk” in our beloved GoComics that is not allowed——- type any two words and put a backslash between them and AI will tell you URLs are not allowed in the comments. Hilarious how stupid this has gotten in trying NOT TO OFFEND ANYONE or keep anyone from knowing something good or bad. js

    Let me help Peppermint( ̄︶ ̄)↗ . Moses was a Jewish, Israel leader in the Bible. Mendelssohn was a great music composer. Thus Moses Mendelssohn was a great Jewish composer of religious literature concerning Jews and Christian beliefs in Germany. ^_~ >.<

    Was once one of four singing the title role in Felix’s Elijah. The director wanted to maximize prophets.

    I am a distant descendant of Moses Mendelssohn. My father was a classical musician, the only one in the family. His talent might have come from a fairly roundabout source.

    This is not an appropriate question for an elementary school class.
