From Krakow and Venice to Amsterdam and Smyrna, David Ruderman examines the historical and cultural factors unique to Jewish communities throughout Europe, and how these distinctions played out amidst the rest of society. Looking at how Jewish settlements in the early modern period were linked to one another in fascinating ways, he shows how Jews were communicating with each other and were more aware of their economic, social, and religious connections than ever before. Ruderman explores five crucial and powerful characteristics uniting Jewish communities: a mobility leading to enhanced contacts between Jews of differing backgrounds, traditions, and languages, as well as between Jews and non-Jews; a heightened sense of communal cohesion throughout all Jewish settlements that revealed the rising power of lay oligarchies; a knowledge explosion brought about by the printing press, the growing interest in Jewish books by Christian readers, an expanded curriculum of Jewish learning, and the entrance of Jewish elites into universities; a crisis of rabbinic authority expressed through active messianism, mystical prophecy, radical enthusiasm, and heresy; and the blurring of religious identities, impacting such groups as conversos, Sabbateans, individual converts to Christianity, and Christian Hebraists. In describing an early modern Jewish culture, Early Modern Jewry reconstructs a distinct epoch in history and provides essential background for understanding the modern Jewish experience. 606 $aJews$xIntellectual life 606 $aJews$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aJews$xSocial networks$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aJews$xHistory$y70-1789 606 $aJewish learning and scholarship$zEurope 606 $aJudaism$xDoctrines$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aJudaism$xHistory 606 $aJudaism$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aRabbis$vBiography 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life 610 $aAntinomianism. 610 $aApologetics. 610 $aApostasy. 610 $aAshkenazi Jews. 610 $aBaruch Spinoza. 610 $aCecil Roth. 610 $aChristian Hebraist. 610 $aChristian culture. 610 $aChristianity and Judaism. 610 $aChristianity. 610 $aConversion to Judaism. 610 $aConverso. 610 $aCosmopolitanism. 610 $aCultural history. 610 $aCulture and Society. 610 $aDavid Nieto. 610 $aDavid Sorkin. 610 $aEarly modern Europe. 610 $aEarly modern period. 610 $aEastern Europe. 610 $aEnthusiasm. 610 $aExcommunication. 610 $aExegesis. 610 $aFrankism. 610 $aGershom Scholem. 610 $aHaskalah. 610 $aHebrew language. 610 $aHeinrich Graetz. 610 $aHeresy. 610 $aHistoriography. 610 $aIdeology. 610 $aIsaac Luria. 610 $aIsaac Orobio de Castro. 610 $aIsadore Twersky. 610 $aItalian Jews. 610 $aItalian Renaissance. 610 $aJacob Frank. 610 $aJacob Katz. 610 $aJewish Christian. 610 $aJewish culture. 610 $aJewish diaspora. 610 $aJewish history. 610 $aJewish identity. 610 $aJewish mysticism. 610 $aJewish studies. 610 $aJews. 610 $aJonathan Israel. 610 $aJudaism. 610 $aKabbalah. 610 $aLand of Israel. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aLithuania. 610 $aLurianic Kabbalah. 610 $aLuzzatto. 610 $aMedievalism. 610 $aMenasseh Ben Israel. 610 $aMercantilism. 610 $aMessiah in Judaism. 610 $aMessianism. 610 $aMinhag. 610 $aModernity. 610 $aMoses. 610 $aMoshe Idel. 610 $aNarrative. 610 $aNeoplatonism. 610 $aNew Christian. 610 $aNotion (ancient city). 610 $aOrthodoxy. 610 $aOttoman Empire. 610 $aPeriodization. 610 $aPharisees. 610 $aPhilosophy. 610 $aPolish?Lithuanian Commonwealth. 610 $aPrinting. 610 $aProtestantism. 610 $aRabbi. 610 $aRabbinic Judaism. 610 $aReform Judaism. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aResponsa. 610 $aRichard Popkin. 610 $aSabbateans. 610 $aSafed. 610 $aSchatz. 610 $aScholem. 610 $aSecularization. 610 $aSeminar. 610 $aSephardi Jews. 610 $aSolomon ibn Verga. 610 $aSpinozism. 610 $aSpirituality. 610 $aSyncretism. 610 $aThe Other Hand. 610 $aTheology. 610 $aThirty Years' War. 610 $aUriel da Costa. 610 $aWestern Europe. 610 $aWestern culture. 610 $aWriting. 610 $aYiddish. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xSocial networks$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJewish learning and scholarship 615 0$aJudaism$xDoctrines 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory. 615 0$aRabbis 676 $a909/.0492405 700 $aRuderman$b David B$0475931 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791805003321 996 $aEarly modern Jewry$9242464 997 $aUNINA
