&#;I believe in Spinoza’s God,” Einstein wired back, “Who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a God Who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.” The rabbi might have saved himself a little money; in the end, Einstein’s reply in the original German used only 25 words.

Einstein had read Spinoza with friends in college and later visited his home on a gray-cobbled street in the Dutch village of Rijnsburg (now Katwijk) outside Leiden. A frequent producer of doggerel, he once wrote several stanzas in Spinoza’s ho
