  • The Influence of Progressive Judaism in Poland—An Outline
    The Influence of Progressive Judaism in Poland ♦ 1 The Influence of Progressive Judaism in Poland—an Outline Michał Galas Jagiellonian University In the historiography of Judaism in the Polish lands the influence of Reform Judaism is often overlooked. he opinion is frequently cited that the Polish Jews were tied to tradition and did not accept ideas of religious reform coming from the West. his paper fills the gap in historiography by giving some examples of activities of progressive communities and their leaders. It focuses mainly on eminent rabbis and preachers such as Abraham Goldschmidt, Markus Jastrow, and Izaak Cylkow. Supporters of progressive Judaism in Poland did not have as strong a position as representatives of the Reform or Conservative Judaism in Germany or the United States. Religious reforms introduced by them were for a number of reasons moderate or limited. However, one cannot ignore this move- ment in the history of Judaism in Poland, since that trend was significant for the history of Jews in Poland and Polish-Jewish relations. In the historiography of Judaism in the Polish lands, the history of the influ- ence of Reform Judaism is often overlooked. he opinion is frequently cited that the Polish Jews were tied to tradition and did not accept ideas of religious reform coming from the West. his opinion is perhaps correct in terms of the number of “progressive” Jews, often so-called proponents of reform, on Polish soil, in comparison to the total number of Polish Jews. However, the influence of “progressives” went much further and deeper, in both the Jewish and Polish community.

Jahrhunderts weder statistische Aufstellungen noch ein zusammenhängendes offizielles Aktenkorpus, wie es für Frankreich etwa in den Archiven des Zentralkonsistoriums vorliegt; die For- schungslage stellt sich als ein fragmentarisches Mosaik von Lokalgeschichten dar. Es braucht nun nicht eigens betont zu werden, daß in Ermangelung einer auch nur ungefähren Vorstellung von Anzahl, geo- graphischer Verteilung und Rechtstatus der Rabbinate das historische Wissen schwerlich über isolierte Detailkenntnisse hinausgelangen kann. Für die im Rahmen des DFG-Projekts durchgeführten Studien erwies es sich deswegen als erforderlich, zur Rabbinatsgeschichte im umfassenden deutschen Kontext einen Index zu erstellen, der möglichst vielfältige Daten zu den folgenden Rubriken erfassen soll: 1. gesetzliche, administrative und organisatorische Rahmenbedingungen der rabbinischen Amts- ausübung in den Einzelstaaten, 2. Anzahl, Sitz und territoriale Zuständigkeit der Rabbinate unter Berücksichtigung der histori- schen Veränderungen, 3.

  • JEWISH STATISTICS the Statistics of Jews in the World Rests Largely Upon Estimates
    306 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rests largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the numbers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. In spite of the unsatisfactor- iness of the method, it may be assumed that the numbers given are approximately correct. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1904, the English " Jewish Year Book" for 5664, the " Jewish Ency- clopedia," and the Alliance Israelite Universelle reports. Some of the statements rest upon the authority of competent individ- uals. A comparison with last year's statistics will show that for several countries the figures have been changed. In most of the cases, the change i6 due to the fact that the results of the census of 1900 and 1901 have only now become available. THE UNITED STATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the reli- gious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or naturalized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimate, though several of the estimates have been most conscientiously made. The Jewish population was estimated In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M.

  • Jewish-Polish Relations in the Writings of Rabbi Marcus Jastrow
    MICHAl T. GALAS JEWISH-POUSH RELATIONS 1N THE WRITINGS OF RABBI MARCOS JASTROW Rabbi MarcusJastrow's life is connected with rnany aspects ofJewish life and bistory in Gerrnany, Poland and the United States. His activities and works break all stereotypes of Polish, Jewish and Gerrnan historiography. But, unfortunately, bis narne is almost absent from conternporary historiography. 1 That is why I would like to dedicate this article to his youth, and his tirne spent in Warsaw as a preacher ina so-called "German" progressive synagogue. I will also pay special attention to J ewish-Polish relations in his writings. 2 I We do not know exactly when the Jastrow family settled in Rogasen (Polish: Rogoino), but it was probably around the end of the 18'h or beginning of the 19'h century. The fact that they were immigrants is shown by their sumame, originally recorded as Jastrauer. We can therefore assume that the narne Jastrow may be connected to the settlementJastrowie, or in GermanJastrow, to the north of the town of Schneidernühl (Polish: Pila), where the Jewish community also lived. We do not know when Abraham or his family arrived in Rogasen, because unfortunately the history of the Jews there has not been researched in detail. The information we have about Jastrow's family and youth are scant. Abraham's father was a merchant, active in the Jewish congregation in Rogasen.3 Marcus was the eldest son, bom onJune 5, 1829 in Rogasen.4 He had two brothers, Chaim and Isaac, and Isaac continued the family trade. He was also a member of the town council for 42 years, and for over 20 years fulfilled various important functions in theJewish community.

  • Adolf Jellinek and the Creation of the Modern Rabbinate
    “A NEW SHOOT FROM THE HOUSE OF DAVID:” ADOLF JELLINEK AND THE CREATION OF THE MODERN RABBINATE Samuel Joseph Kessler A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved By: Randall Styers Yaakov Ariel Susannah Heschel Jonathan Hess Malachi Hacohen Lloyd Kramer @2016 Samuel Joseph Kessler ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Samuel Joseph Kessler: “A New Shoot From the House of David:” Adolf Jellinek and the Creation of the Modern Rabbinate (Under the direction of Randall Styers) This dissertation is a social history of Jewish religious experience in Central Europe during the nineteenth century, primarily told through the life and work of one of its founding rabbis, Adolf Jellinek (1821-1893). In response to Enlightenment ideology, emancipation, and urbanization, from about 1830 to 1860 three major changes occurred in institutional Jewish religious life, changes that transformed the very essence of what the practice of Jewish religion meant between the pre-modern and modern periods. First, the role of the rabbi in the life of the Jewish community shifted fundamentally. Second, because of demographic shifts brought about by emancipation and economic conditions, the monumental urban synagogue became the dominant space for the expression of Jewish religious activity and expression in European cities. Third, the sermon became an integral part of Jewish religious practice and rabbinical responsibility, one that introduced a new form of public Jewish theology focused on individual belief and history (the constituent components of “religion” as it came to be defined in modern Europe).
