Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish society in the Ottoman Empire has not been the subject of systematic research. The seventeenth century is the main object of this study, since it was a formative era. For Ottoman Jews, the 'Ottoman century' constituted an era of gradual acculturation to changing reality, parallel to the changing character of the Ottoman state. Continuous changes and developments shaped anew the character of this Jewry, the core of what would later become known as 'Sephardi Jewry'.Yaron Ben-Naeh draws from primary and secondary Hebrew, Ottoman, and European sources, the image of Jewish society in the Ottoman Empire. In the chapters he leads the reader from the overall urban framework to individual aspects. Beginning with the physical environment, he moves on to discuss their relationships with the majority society, followed by a description and analysis of the congregation, its organization and structure, and from there to the character of Ottoman Jewish society and its nuclear cell - the family. Special emphasis is placed throughout the work on the interaction with Muslim society and the resulting acculturation that affected all aspects and all levels of Jewish life in the Empire. In this, the author challenges the widespread view that sees this community as being stagnant and self-segregated, as well as the accepted concept of a traditional Jewish society under Islam.
Download or read book The Jews in Palestine in the Eighteenth Century written by Y. Barnay and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research reveals a clear connection between the legal and social status of the Jews in Palestine in the 18th century and their ties with the Diaspora. The Jews who had immigrated to Palestine in that period were mostly poor and elderly. The country was economically backward and politically unstable, which made it impossible for the immigrants to support themselves through productive work. Therefore they lived off the contributions of their brethren overseas. Taxes and fees imposed by the Ottoman rulers increased the financial desperation of the Jews in Palestine. Prohibitions against young unmarried immigrant men and women made for an unstable population largely of old men, many of whom died shortly after immigrating. Families succumbed to disease, earthquakes, and famine, but in the face of these problems, the Jewish communities in Palestine persevered. When financial support ceased at the beginning of the 18th century, it caused a sever crisis in the Yishuv (the Jewish settlement in Palestine). The Jews were unable to repay their debts to the Moslems, and many left the country. In 1726, a central organization was established in Istanbul to coordinate the Diaspora financial support of the Jews in Palestine. This Istanbul Committee of Officials oversaw the collection of support money for the Yishuv, managed the Palestine community's budget, established regulations for governing the communities, and settled disputes between the Jews and the gentiles. The importance of the Yishuv in the spiritual life of the Diaspora alone could not ensure the continuation of the Istanbul Officials was crucial. Fortunately, a registry containing copies of 500 letters written by the Istanbul Committee in the mid-18th century was preserved in the archives of the Jewish Theological Seminary. These letters reveal the extensive activity involving the Istanbul Committee and the Ottoman authorities, the Jews of Palestine, and the Diaspora. In this English translation of the original 1982 volume published in Hebrew, Barnai has updated his research to take into account recent scholarship. He concludes that during the period under review, the number of Jews in the Yishuv was actually very small, but they were completely dependent upon the charitable financial support of their brethren overseas, as well as the goodwill of the country's rulers.

Book excerpt: In this study, I analyze the Jewish community of Istanbul in the 17th Century as reflected in the works of two çelebis, or bureaucrats, namely, Evliya Çelebi and Eremya Çelebi. The former was an Ottoman statesman and a traveler in the Ottoman world who is very well-known among students of Ottoman history. The latter was a preeminent Armenian scholar within the Armenian community of Istanbul who wrote a number of important works in the 17th century, although he is not very well-known by Ottomanists except for some of his works; this is in part because a number of his works are still waiting to be translated into Western languages. I will concentrate on Istanbul Jewry instead of all Jewish communities under the Ottomans, although I will provide the reader with information on other minorities and on other Jewish communities of the empire when necessary. In addition, to some extent, I will include other opinions on Istanbul Jewry: opinions of Jews themselves as reflected in responsa literature and of European travelers and visitors to the Ottoman Empire during this period. In this study, I reconsider the so-called millet system and question the insistence on the term "millet system" by some scholars, even those who acknowledge the incorrect application of this term to the pre-nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire. Then, I suggest a clarification of this issue with reference to works by experts on Ottoman minorities. In addition, I argue that the Seyahatname is a mirror of rising religious conservatism and restoration attempts within the empire, and therefore its timing and contents are also significant as can be seen from the evidences suggested in this work. Furthermore, I also seek answers for the omission of the Sabbatai Sevi episode in the Seyahatname and other Ottoman sources. I also suggest that Eremya Çelebi's works help us to have a better understanding of the Islamization process in Istanbul -especially in the 1660s- and the social and economic rivalry between the Jews and the Greeks around this time. Eremya's works also give us invaluable ideas concerning the Sabbatai Sevi episode and how one minority was seen from another minority's perspective
Download or read book Istanbul Kushta Constantinople written by Christoph Herzog and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Istanbul – Kushta – Constantinople presents twelve studies that draw on contemporary life narratives that shed light on little explored aspects of nineteenth-century Ottoman Istanbul. As a broad category of personal writing that goes beyond the traditional confines of the autobiography, life narratives range from memoirs, letters, reports, travelogues and descriptions of daily life in the city and its different neighborhoods. By focusing on individual experiences and perspectives, life narratives allow the historian to transcend rigid political narratives and to recover lost voices, especially of those underrepresented groups, including women and members of non-Muslim communities. The studies of this volume focus on a variety of narratives produced by Muslim and Christian women, by non-Muslims and Muslims, as well as by natives and outsiders alike. They dispel European Orientalist stereotypes and cross class divides and ethnic identities. Travel accounts of outsiders provide us with valuable observations of daily life in the city that residents often overlooked.

Download or read book Turkish Jews and their Diasporas written by Kerem Öktem and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to the past and present of Jewish life in Turkey and to Turkish Jewish diaspora communities in Israel, Europe, Latin America and the United States. It surveys the history of Jews in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic, examining the survival of Jewish communities during the dissolution of the empire and their emigration to America, Europe, and Israel. In the cases discussed, members of these communities often sought and seek close connections with Turkey, even if those ‘ties that bind’ are rarely reciprocated by Turkish governments. Contributors also explore Turkish Jewishness today, as it is lived in Israel and Turkey, and as found in ‘places of memory’ in many cities in Turkey, where Jews no longer exist today.
