The memoirist, Sa'adi Besalel a-Levi (1820?1903), wrote about Ottoman Jews' daily life at a time when the finely wrought fabric of Ottoman society was just beginning to unravel. His vivid portrayal of life in Salonica, a major port in the Ottoman Levant with a majority Jewish population, thus provides a unique window into a way of life before it disappeared as a result of profound political and social changes and the World Wars. Sa'adi was a prominent journalist and publisher, one of the most significant creators of modern Sephardic print culture. He was also a rebel who accused the Jewish leadership of Salonica of being corrupt, abusive, and fanatical; that leadership, in turn, excommunicated him from the Jewish community. The experience of excommunication pervades Sa'adi's memoir, which documents a world that its author was himself actively involved in changing. 410 0$aStanford studies in Jewish history and culture. 606 $aJewish publishers$zGreece$zThessalonik$vBiography 606 $aJewish journalists$zGreece$zThessalonik$vBiography 606 $aSephardim$zGreece$zThessalonik$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aJewish publishers 615 0$aJewish journalists 615 0$aSephardim$xHistory 676 $a305.892/404954 700 $aHalev?i$b Sa?adi ben Betsalel$01626682 701 $aRodrigue$b Aron$0573049 701 $aStein$b Sarah Abrevaya$0764309 701 $aJerusalmi$b Isaac$f1928-2018.$01626683 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825174903321 996 $aA Jewish voice from Ottoman Salonica$93962850 997 $aUNINA
