Leaving the Jewish Fold: Conversion and Radical Assimilation in Modern Jewish History
ISBN: 9780691004792 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Between the French Revolution and World War II, hundreds of thousands of Jews left the Jewish fold--by becoming Christians or, in liberal states, by intermarrying. Telling the stories of both famous and obscure individuals, Leaving the Jewish Fold explores the nature of this drift and defection from Judaism in Europe and America from the eighteenth century to today.

Broadening Jewish History
ISBN: 9781904113027 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych.

The Jews of Britain, 1656 to 2000: Volume 3
ISBN: 9780520227200 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 359 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In Todd Endelman's spare and elegant narrative, the history of British Jewry in the modern period is characterized by a curious mixture of prominence and inconspicuousness. British Jews have been central to the unfolding of key political events of the modern period, especially the establishment of the State of Israel, but inconspicuous in shaping the character and outlook of modern Jewry. Their story, less dramatic perhaps than that of other Jewish communities, is no less deserving of this comprehensive and finely balanced analytical account. Even though Jews were never completely absent...
