In the summer of 1772, the three neighbors of the Polish state tore off large chunks of its territory, embarking on a process that, in less than two decades, led to Poland’s demise as an independent political entity. The first partition of Poland was also the beginning of the triple encounter of the Jews of the Polish Commonwealth with the Austrian bureaucracy (in Galicia), the Russian officialdom (in White Russia [Belorussia]), and the Prussian administration (in western Prus- sia). This encounter, between a populous Jewish community (with an age-old cultural tradition) and the apparatus of the centralized state, was for the Polish Jew the commencement of the modern era. Because the Jews residing in the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom formed an absolute majority of European Jewry, the first partition of Poland can actually be viewed as the commencement of the modern era in Jewish history. Thereafter began a mass immigration movement that greatly increased the number of Polish Jews in other parts of Europe. In 1772, a complex and multifaceted process of integration and accul- turation began in the regions severed from the Polish state. The Polish- Lithuanian Jew became a ‘‘Russian Jew,’’ a ‘‘German Jew,’’ or an‘‘Austrian Jew.’’ This process was not rapid. Most Jews in the areas annexed from Poland to the neighboring states continued to maintain their old way of life for decades after they were no longer subjects of the Polish king. They regarded themselves as ‘‘Polish Jews,’’ and that is how they were seen by German, Austrian, and Russian writers and bureaucrats. As far back as the 1860s, the Yiddish writer Isaac Joel Linetzky called his anti- Hasidic satire Dos poylishe yingl (The Polish lad), although he depicted the protagonist as a Jew living in the Ukraine, deep inside the territory of the Russian empire. Jewish socialists in London published a Yiddish newspaper intended for the masses of poor immigrants from the Rus- sian empire and called it (in 1884) Der poylisher yidl (The Polish yid). According to one of its editors, this name was chosen to voice the immi- grants’ protest against the disdainful attitude adopted toward them by ................. 11255$ INTR 05-26-05 11:51:24 PS PAGE 1 2 Introduction the English Jews, who were panic-stricken that ‘‘the Poles are coming!’’1 In the 1880s, the German historian Heinrich von Treitschke, in a polemic with the Jewish historian Heinrich Graetz, expressed his fear that the German Reich would be inundated by masses of Polish Jewish immigrants. In Treitschke’s view, the fact that these immigrants clung to their national identity was antithetical to the equal political rights they had recently been granted. Moreover, it constituted a real threat to the German character of his country.2 Thus, over a hundred years after the first Polish partition, the Jews of Eastern Europe were still seen by many as a community that had preserved its ‘‘Polishness.’’ And deep into the modern era, they maintained what Gershon Hundert recently described as a positive sense of Jewish identity.3 What began as the invasions by Poland’s enemies in the last decades of the eighteenth century nonetheless changed the political base of the traditional society’s life. Although the masses of Jews underwent only partial integration, some segments of the population were considerably influenced by it. While acculturation did not cause the old Jewish cul- ture to disappear, it did augment it with cultural traits previously unknown to the Jews of the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom. The changes that affected Eastern European Jewry in the nineteenth century also gave rise to a new type of antagonism between them and the various eth- nic groups in the empires. The old religious conflict, between Catholics and Jews as well as between the Eastern Orthodox and the Jews, took the form of a radical anti-Semitism in which the influence of national Romanticism merged with messianic revolutionism. In March 1881, 111 years after the Russian army entered the towns of White Russia, Czar Alexander II was mortally wounded by assassins belonging to the revolu- tionary movement. Six weeks after the czar’s murder, the southern prov- inces of the Russian empire were swept by waves of pogroms against the Jews, unparalleled in their duration and geographical spread. In their wake, many Jews, during the pogroms or in the years soon after, began to abandon the option of integration and acculturation in favor of more radical solutions to the problems of their economic, social, and spiritual existence. The Russian Jew, like his brethren on the Austrian side of the border, began to exchange the incomplete imperial identity, which had taken shape after the Polish partitions, for alternative identities, either by emigrating to new lands or by seeking new Jewish identities unprece- dented in the history of Eastern European Jewry The boundaries of historical periods are determined by subjective considerations. On the basis of ideologies, political interests, geographi- cal links, or ethnic identity, people are likely to draw disparate time lines. The sociologist Eviatar Zerubavel states: ‘‘There are many alterna- tive ways to cut up the past, none of which are more natural and hence ................. 11255$ INTR 05-26-05 11:51:24 PS PAGE 2 Introduction 3 more valid than others. Any system of periodization is thus inevitably social, since our ability to envision the historical watersheds separating one conventional ‘period’ from another is basically a product of being socialized in specific traditions of carving up the past. In other words, we need to be mnemonically socialized to regard certain historical events as significant ‘turning points.’’’4 Indeed, why should we decide that the partitions of Poland constitute a historical turning point in the history of Eastern European Jewry? After all, one of the major claims in this book is that many of the social, eco- nomic, and cultural traits that were hallmarks of the link between the Polish feudal system and the Jews continued to exist for many years after 1772. Life in the towns of Galicia and White Russia did not change much until the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1850, very few Jews in the Russian Pale of Settlement or in Austrian Galicia felt at home in the cultures of the state. This was the time when the Hasidic movement, a consummate product of the traditional culture, was crossing the bor- ders of empires and winning the hearts of Jews throughout Eastern Europe. Similarly, one can ask whether 1881 marks a turning point in the history of Eastern European Jewry. Zionist historiography, on the one hand, and the historical research written under the influence of Jewish radicalism, on the other, designate the year of the pogroms as the beginning of a new era in Jewish history. In 1969, the national-radical historian Shmuel Ettinger (1919–88) wrote: There has been no more dramatic period in Jewish history than the years between 1881 and 1948—a relatively short span of time when measured against the annals of a nation.

New history. We understand the new history generally in the same way as the representatives of Marxist history. It is a history of establishment of new social-economic formation – capitalism, which, in difference to the previous formations, uses the economic impelling and the big machine production. The most important classes are bourgeoisie and hired workers, in the last time the number of the employees in the sphere of service increases. The peasants decrease in number, the movement of peasants into towns takes place; the remaining peasants become the independent farmers, who are involved into the ware and money economy. In the political sphere it is an epoch of establishment of the republican system, which is profitable first of all for the bourgeoisie, with the time the political rights and liberties are extended for all the population. In the spiritual plan it is an epoch of the upper mental, or causal (later lower intuitive) plan, the humans discover the laws of development of the world and man, the traditional explanations of religion already do not suffice. The time of the swift development of technique (Satan was loosed out of his prison, according to Revelation 20.7), which causes finally the global ecological problems.

  • Solomon Dubno, His Eastern European Scholarship, and the German Haskalah
    Zuzanna Krzemien Solomon Dubno, His Eastern European Scholarship, and the German Haskalah This article examines the life and works of Solomon Dubno (1738–1813), an Eastern European intellectual who lived and worked in Berlin over a period of ten years. While he is remembered as an initiator of the publication Sefer netivot ha-shalom [Paths of Peace], and for his work on the commentary (Bi’ur) of Moses Mendelssohn’s Pentateuch translation,1 Dubno’s influence on the early German Jewish Enlightenment, as a commentator of the book of Genesis, has been largely forgotten. Following a dispute with Mendelssohn, Dubno abandoned the Bi’ur project and headed for Vilna. There, he persuaded several members of the rabbinical elite of the need to create a new Bible commentary under his authorship, which could be published together with the Aramaic translation of Onkelos. He aimed to facilitate a correct understanding of the sacred text among Eastern European Jews, for whom Mendelssohn’s translation was not easily understandable, and which was regarded as a German textbook rather than a tool for enhanced study of the Torah. In this way, Dubno combined the maskilic program of Berlin Jewry with the Eastern European reverence for a traditional religious education. The Life and Works of Solomon Dubno Solomon ben Yoel Dubno was a renowned scholar from Eastern Europe and a preeminent representative of the early Jewish Enlightenment (Haskalah), who found recognition among his contemporaries through his poetry and expertise in Hebrew grammar. He was educated under the tutelage of Solomon Chelm (1717–1781),2 whose Sha’arei ne’imah [Gates of Melody], a work on accentuation in 1 Moses Mendelssohn (ed.), Sefer netivot ha-shalom [Paths of Peace] (Berlin: George Friederich Starcke, 1780–1783).
