Although medieval Jewish texts were written by a learned elite, the laity also observed many religious rituals as part of their everyday life. In Practicing Piety in Medieval Ashkenaz, Elisheva Baumgarten asks how Jews, especially those who were not learned, expressed their belonging to a minority community and how their convictions and deeds were made apparent to both their Jewish peers and the Christian majority. Practicing Piety in Medieval Ashkenaz provides a social history of religious practice in context, particularly with regard to the ways Jews and Christians, separately and jointly, treated their male and female members. Medieval Jews often shared practices and beliefs with their Christian neighbors, and numerous notions and norms were appropriated by one community from the other. By depicting a dynamic interfaith landscape and a diverse representation of believers, Baumgarten offers a fresh assessment of Jewish practice and the shared elements that composed the piety of Jews in relation to their Christian neighbors. 410 0$aJewish culture and contexts. 606 $aJudaism$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aJewish way of life$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aAshkenazim$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aHasidism, Medieval 606 $aJews$zEurope$xSocial life and customs$yTo 1500 610 $aHistory. 610 $aJewish Studies. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aReligious Studies. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJewish way of life$xHistory 615 0$aAshkenazim$xHistory 615 0$aHasidism, Medieval. 615 0$aJews$xSocial life and customs 676 $a296.7094/0902 700 $aBaumgarten$b Elisheva$01014519 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787039103321 996 $aPracticing piety in medieval Ashkenaz$93707174 997 $aUNINA
