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.

What differentiates this moment in Anglo-Jewish scholarship from most previous consid- erations is that we do not purport to ~ll a falsely constructed “void” of Anglo-Jewish literary silence; on the contrary, this collection seeks to amplify the fullness of nineteenth century Anglo-Jewish literary life. In 1846, Grace Aguilar, the important Anglo-Jewish writer and theologian, called out for the production of a “Jewish literature” that would aid the “right reverence[e] of Judaism,” and “advance” the Jewish people in Victorian Eng- land.

Milberg with additional support from the Center for Jewish History. Living in an age when Jews are fully integrated into so much of America’s public and popular Great Hall & David Berg Rare Book Room, Center for Jewish History culture, it is difficult to imagine a time before they shone on the stage, and printed page. Such a future for Jews was scarcely imaginable in the crucible years after the birth of the March 16 — May 30, 2014 United States. In the colonial period, there was little precedent for Jews speaking for themselves vocally and volubly in the public arena. At the dawn of the Republic, they were new to American public life. Yet as the United States started its grand experiment with liberty, and began to invent a culture of its own, Jews, too, began a grand Curator Dr. Adam Mendelsohn, Director experiment of living as equals. In a society that promised exceptional freedom, this was both liberating and confound - of the Pearlstine/Lipov Center for ing. As individuals, they were free to participate as full citizens in the hurly-burly of the new nation’s political and Southern Jewish Culture, social life.

Over the course of these forty years, a mature, increasingly comfortable, native-born Jewish community emerged and matured in London. The multifaceted growth and change in communal institutional and religious structures and habits, as well as the community’s increasing familiarity and comfort with the larger English society, contributed to the formation of an Anglo-Jewish communal identity. The history of this community and the ways in which it developed are explored in this volume using archival and also contemporary advertising material that appeared in the Jewish Chronicle and other Anglo-Jewish newspapers in these years.
