Both at the meeting and in the street, Lilienthal was the target of insulting remarks from the crowd.
On his return to St.Petersburg, Lilienthal presented Uvarov with a report which convinced the Minister that the execution of the school-reform was a difficult but not a hopeless task.
On June 22, 1842, an imperial rescript was issued, placing all Jewish schools, including the heders and yeshibahs, under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Instruction.

Simultaneously it was announced that the Government had summoned a Commission of four Rabbis to meet in St.
Petersburg for the purpose of "supporting the efforts of the Government" in the realization of the school-reform.

This Committee was to serve Russian Jewry as a security that the school-reforms would not be directed against the Jewish religion.
At the same time Lilienthal was ordered to proceed again to the Pale of Settlement.

He was directed to tour principally through the South-western and New-Russian governments and exert his influence upon the Jewish masses in accordance with the instructions received from the ministry.

Before setting out on his journey, Lilienthal published a Hebrew pamphlet under the title _Maggid Yeshu'ah_ ("Herald of Salvation") which called upon the Jewish communities to comply readily with the wishes of the Government.
