Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • “Bad Girls”: Transgressive Narratives and Rebellious Daughters in Contemporary British Jewish Women’S Writing
    JEWISH “BAD GIRLS”: TRANSGRESSIVE NARRATIVES AND REBELLIOUS DAUGHTERS IN CONTEMPORARY BRITISH JEWISH WOMEN’S WRITING Efraim Sicher* ABSTRACT: This contribution to a special issue on gender looKs at contemporary Jewish women fiction writers in the UK who, following the sexual revolution, depict the rebellion against the restrictive gender roles and behavioural rules of the Jewish home. I will argue that the subversive representation of transgressive behavior demonstrates tensions between, on the one hand, loyalty to the Jewish home and the imperative of communal or tribal continuity and, on the other, the pull of ideologies and agendas which encourage women to be independent in a society that affords them freedom to do what they want. Introduction: Rebellious Bodies Alix is a tough woman, tough because her father Saul Rebick fought back when the fascists re-emerged after the war in England; tough because she is a graduate of second-wave feminism in the seventies; tough because, after centuries of persecution and deportation, it is time for Jews to stand up for themselves, and especially a Jewish woman who has no patience for the patriarchal rules of the Bible or the Jewish family. Her answer to Hitler is “We’re still here,” the title of the 2002 novel by Linda Grant of which Alix is the female protagonist and one of the narrators.1 Alix is looking for a male partner who would be an equal in toughness. But as she nears the fifty-marK, Alix is becoming frustrated at waiting for the ideal solution to power relations in sex. Her body is betraying her; she relies on a woman’s cosmetic tricks to masK the unattractiveness of her age.

  • A Portrait of Jews in London and the South-East
    Summary This report on the findings of the largest ever survey of a British Jewish population aims to provide an accurate and current picture of relevant data on the Jewish population in the London metropolis. With 2,965 completed questionnaires from across a broad social spectrum, providing much previously unavailable information, planners and decision-makers within the Jewish voluntary secror will be able to use rhe findings to benefit the Jewish community as a whole. The methodology adopted led to a shewing of the sample touards middle- aged, middle-class married males. The up-side of this bias is that these respondents-the 'baakbatim', respectable people, men of substance and good standing in t/te community-are the principal constituency of the Jewish uoluntary sector. Schooling and care for older and infirm people are the main issues affecting the future of the Jewish yolunrary sector and both are closely related to where Jews live. Knowledge of changing residential patterns is important as decisions are made on where to locate new facilities and close existing ones. Of particular interest is information that permits us to interpret neighbourhood stabiliry and forecast change. No dramatic changes are foreseen in the geographic distribution of London Jews over the next decade. Six out of l0 respondents had liued at their current address for more than ten lears, while less than 4 per cent hdd been there for under a ledr. Only 5 per cent expected to moue within d lear, tuhile a further 20 per cent thought they might within fue years. Howeuer, for the under-35 age-group, the res?ectiue rtgures were 17 and 48 per cerut.
