John Jacob Astor: business and finance in the early republic

The shaping of Jewish identity in nineteenth-century France
Nineteenth-century French Jewry was a community struggling to meet the challenges of emancipation and modernity. This struggle, with its origins in the founding of the French nation, constitutes the core of modern Jewish identity.

Over time, the enormous challenge that emancipation posed for …

From new Zion to old Zion: American Jewish immigration and settlement in Palestine, 1917-1939
American Aliyah (immigration to Palestine) began in the mid-nineteenth century fueled by the desire of American Jews to study Torah and by their wish to live and be buried in the Holy Land. His movement of people-men and women-increased between World War I and II, in direct contrast to European Jewry’s desire to immigrate to the United States. Why would American Jews want to leave America, and what characterized their resettlement? From New Zion to Old Zion analyzes the migration of American Jew…

Jewish agricultural utopias in America, 1880-1910
