It explores the emergence of a moderate, accommodating form of traditional Judaism that combined elements of tradition and innovation, thereby creating an alternative to Orthodox and Neolog Judaism. This form of traditional Judaism reconciled the demands of religious tradition with the expectations of Magyarization and citizenship, thus allowing traditional Jews to be patriotic Magyars. By focusing on Hungary, this book seeks to correct a trend in modern Jewish historiography that views Habsburg Jewish History as an extension of German Jewish History, most notably with regard to emancipation and enlightenment. Rather than trying to fit Hungarian Jewry into a conventional Germano-centric taxonomy, this work places Hungarian Jews in the distinct contexts of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Danube Basin, positing a more seamless nexus between the eighteenth and nineteenth century. This nexus was rooted in a series of political experiments by Habsburg sovereigns and Hungarian noblemen that culminated in civic equality, and in the gradual expansion of traditional Judaism to meet the challenges of the age. 606 $aJews$zHungary$zMiskolc$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aJews$zHungary$zMiskolc$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJews$zHungary$zMiskolc$xPolitics and government$y18th century 606 $aJews$zHungary$zMiskolc$xPolitics and government$y19th century 606 $aJews$xEmancipation$zHungary$zMiskolc 606 $aJewish leadership$zHungary$zMiskolc$xHistory 607 $aMiskolc (Hungary)$xEthnic relations 610 $a18th century, 19th century, Education, Ethnic relations, Jews, Political studies, Religion, Zionism. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJews$xEmancipation 615 0$aJewish leadership$xHistory. 676 $a943.9/9 700 $aLupovitch$b Howard N$0517117 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248216003316 996 $aJews at the crossroads$92416372 997 $aUNISA
