Levi Strauss, the Jew Law
Levi Strauss was born into a society that believed it had emancipated its Jews and given them the rights of full citizens. In reality, Jews had only those rights that made the Bavarian government and Christian society comfortable. The Jew law decreed these traditional occupations off limits and Jews were forced to take up farming and crafts. Men who were already engaged in pedaling before 1813 and could not learn any other trade were allowed to continue.
