Throughout the eighteenth century, an ever-sharper distinction emerged between Jews of the old order and those who were self-consciously of a new world. As aspirations for liberation clashed with adherence to tradition, as national, ethnic, cultural, and other alternatives emerged and a long, circuitous search for identity began, it was no longer evident that the definition of Jewishness would be based on the beliefs and practices surrounding the study of the Torah. In The Origins of Jewish Secularization in Eighteenth-Century Europe Shmuel Feiner reconstructs this evolution by listening to the voices of those who participated in the process and by deciphering its cultural codes and meanings. On the one hand, a great majority of observant Jews still accepted the authority of the Talmud and the leadership of the rabbis; on the other, there was a gradually more conspicuous minority of "Epicureans" and "freethinkers." As the ground shifted, each individual was marked according to his or her place on the path between faith and heresy, between devoutness and permissiveness or indifference. Building on his award-winning Jewish Enlightenment, Feiner unfolds the story of critics of religion, mostly Ashkenazic Jews, who did not take active part in the secular intellectual revival known as the Haskalah. In open or concealed rebellion, Feiner's subjects lived primarily in the cities of western and central Europe—Altona-Hamburg, Amsterdam, London, Berlin, Breslau, and Prague. They participated as "fashionable" Jews adopting the habits and clothing of the surrounding Gentile society. Several also adopted the deist worldview of Enlightenment Europe, rejecting faith in revelation, the authority of Scripture, and the obligation to observe the commandments. Peering into the synagogue, observing individuals in the coffeehouse or strolling the boulevards, and peeking into the bedroom, Feiner recovers forgotten critics of religion from both the margins and the center of Jewish discourse. His is a pioneering work on the origins of one of the most significant transformations of modern Jewish history.

Описание:
The eighteenth century was the Jews' first modern century. The deep changes that took place during its course shaped the following generations, and its most prominent voices still reverberate today. In this first volume of his magisterial work, Shmuel Feiner charts the twisting and fascinating world of the first half of the 18th century from the viewpoint of the Jews of Europe. Paying careful attention to life stories, to bright and dark experiences, to voices of protest, to aspirations of reform, and to strivings for personal and general happiness, Feiner identifies the tectonic changes that were taking place in Europe and their unprecedented effects on and among Jews. From the religious and cultural revolution of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) to the question of whether Jews could be citizens of any nation, Feiner presents a board view of how this century of upheaval altered the map of Europe and the Jews who called it home.

Описание:
At the beginning of the eighteenth century most European Jews lived in restricted settlements and urban ghettos, isolated from the surrounding dominant Christian cultures not only by law but also by language, custom, and dress. By the end of the century urban, upwardly mobile Jews had shaved their beards and abandoned Yiddish in favor of the languages of the countries in which they lived. They began to participate in secular culture and they embraced rationalism and non-Jewish education as supplements to traditional Talmudic studies. The full participation of Jews in modern Europe and America would be unthinkable without the intellectual and social revolution that was the Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment. Unparalleled in scale and comprehensiveness, The Jewish Enlightenment reconstructs the intellectual and social revolution of the Haskalah as it gradually gathered momentum throughout the eighteenth century. Relying on a huge range of previously unexplored sources, Shmuel Feiner fully views the Haskalah as the Jewish version of the European Enlightenment and, as such, a movement that cannot be isolated from broader eighteenth-century European traditions. Critically, he views the Haskalah as a truly European phenomenon and not one simply centered in Germany. He also shows how the republic of letters in European Jewry provided an avenue of secularization for Jewish society and culture, sowing the seeds of Jewish liberalism and modern ideology and sparking the Orthodox counterreaction that culminated in a clash of cultures within the Jewish community. The Haskalah's confrontations with its opponents within Jewry constitute one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of the dramatic and traumatic encounter between the Jews and modernity. The Haskalah is one of the central topics in modern Jewish historiography. With its scope, erudition, and new analysis, The Jewish Enlightenment now provides the most comprehensive treatment of this major cultural movement.

Описание: In the making since 1982, and the main subject of his Doctoral Thesis, Dr. Asher's "The Greater Exodus" is a unique work of End-Times Prophecy "The Greater Exodus" is an ancient unveiling of prophecy which has long been obscured by some and ignored by virtually all the gentile religions until Dr. Asher began openly teaching it in 1982. Although others have begun adopting their own variations of this prophetic truth, Dr. Asher's work on this subject continues to be the only original source material from historical, Hebrew culture. As with all of Dr. Asher's work, this teaching is void of the color of any post Mosaic religions. We assure you this; The difference between this prophecy understanding and all the rest which came after it, is that unlike all the known modern end-times prophecy theories, this simple and scriptural understanding is thoroughly provable and also turns out to be the HOPE of the Eternal Creators absolute and unwavering provisions for us in and through those expected end-day calamities. As Dr. Asher has taught for many years, there exists an everlasting biblical precept on which all Jews and Christians alike tend to agree. This precept is, "That God does NOT change " Another often forgotten Torah precept is - "That which God has done with our ancestors, He will do again to their progeny." This one falls directly under the first perpetual truth above. The Greater Exodus emanates from both such eternal truths. The Greater Exodus as Dr. Asher presents it from the purely ancient Hebrew understanding of his ancestors, has long been obscured, cloaked from all gentile understanding as many such important points of knowledge have been by various religious cults. "The Greater Exodus" reader is led down a path of new prophetic discovery, especially the Christian reader. All of God's original Instructions are eternal and unchanging, only man changes. All of God's original instructions were clearly provided, then as man always does, alters and recasts them. Through man's history in which this unfortunate process consistently duplicates itself, the Eternal Creator periodically sends His prophets in the hopes of ushering us back behind His fence of protection and provisions. The rediscovery of this ancient prophetic truth will show HOPE in place of FEAR, reining-in and providing a new and more original understanding for those who chase the prophetic adventures of our End-Times events. I give you, "The Greater Exodus."
