The Jew in the Modern World cover

This second edition is an expanded and highly diverse collection of primary materials that trace Jewish experience in the modern period and illustrate the transformation of Jewish religion and culture and identity beginning in the 17th and 18th centuries and ending in 1948. Careful selection of documents originally appearing in many different languages and thoughtful organization and extensive annotation of the documents make this volume an invaluable resource for the student and teacher of modern Jewish history.

`A useful teaching tool, indeed the best available for the subject' Journal of Modern History
`A fascinating presentation executed through the skill and acumen of its editors, and should be compulsory reading for all those--Jew and Gentile alike--who are concerned with a fuller understanding of the historical forces that moulded the Jew in an alien world.' Jewish Quarterly
