Section Info: Topic: Jewish History Since 1700 Description: What did it mean to be a Jew in the modern world? How were Jewish identities redefined in response to the social and political opportunities, as well as the hostilities and hatreds, of the modern age? The past three centuries witnessed a profound transformation in Jewish life, culture, and religion. During this time, Jews emerged out of their “ghettos” and enjoyed unprecedented economic and professional success. These transformations included changes in every facet of life – from occupations and residence, family life and marriage, as well as religious behavior and social integration. Yet the Jewish encounter with modern life differed from region to region and was imbued with profound contradictions and tensions.
