The Rothschilds replaced religious tradition as the symbol of Jewish cohesion

Evidence

The exclusive position of the house of Rothschild in the Jewish world replaced to a certain extent the old bonds of religious and spiritual tradition whose gradual loosening under the impact of Western culture for the first time threatened the very existence of the Jewish people. To the outer world, this one family also became a symbol of the working reality of Jewish internationalism in a world of nation-states and nationally organized peoples. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 121
