Download or read book The Jew Pays written by Marcus Eli Ravage and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jew Pays: A Narrative of the Consequences of the War to the Jews of Eastern Europe There is not in all this the slightest implication Of superior insight on the part Of the Jew, nor Of inferior patriotism. The Jew of Russia and Aus tria and the Balkans is, of course, gifted with no more statesmanlike vision than his fellows. Neither does he lack, by comparison with them, in devotion to his hearth and to the gods of his house hold. Even in lands where the Jew is deprived Of the rights accorded to other portions of the popula tion, there is no human creature more devotedly at tached to home and family than he. And it is this affectionate attachment which is, after all, the very heart and meaning of patriotism. The European Jew's sober valuation of international warfare is only a logical outgrowth of his place in history. It inevitably proceeds from his unique position in the European polity. Whatever good or ill war may bring to others, to him every war is a chapter in extermination. Bound by ties which transcend national frontiers, all battle is, as far as the Jew goes, a fratricidal irrelevance. Whether or not there is in practice Christian brotherhood on this earth, there can be no doubt of the very real and.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Jews IT is not frequent that an author on any Jewish subject receives the encouragement of a demand for a second edition of his book. My volume of Jewish history which is again submitted to the public, in tended primarily as a manual of instruction, is re vised chiefly by being brought up to date. This re vision became necessary owing to the great changes which the World War has produced in Central and Eastern Europe. Desiring not to enlarge the book too much, I have added merely the most important facts and names in modern Jewish history. In the chap ters dealing with the older epochs, only a few in significant additions have been made. Other changes are merely textual. It still remains for the intelligent teacher to explain the facts given in the book which, by the very nature of its intention, makes dry read ing for the uninitiated. Every history, no matter how large, is bound to be selective. My book, therefore, like every other on the subject, will be Open to criticism in regard to omissions. In the modern period especially, I have no doubt that some one will find certain names omitted, but I have conscientiously weighed the question in every instance and believe to have been impartial and to have deserved from fair-minded critics the Tal mudic compliment - that an author is to be com mended both for what he includes and for what he excludes.

Download or read book My First Eighty Years Classic Reprint written by Bernard Horwich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My First Eighty Years European Jewry, up to a generation or so ago, was divided into two cultural groupings. Generally speaking, the Jews of Eastern Europe lived under the influence of the traditional Jewish culture and the Jews of Western Europe under the influence of the modern Western culture. The non/jewish environment in the towns and villages of Russia was at a far lower level than that of the Jews, whereas the general cultural and scientific level in Western Europe was higher than that of the Jews. This difference created a profound divergence in mood between Eastern Jews and Western Jews. The Jews of the East naturally concluded that their inherited Talmudic culture was vastly superior in content, mood and educative power to that of the world around them, and therefore, choosing the higher culture, they became intensely Jewish and lived on from generation to generation as if the outer world did not exist. They were quite right in their choice; they had selected the higher culture. The Jews of the West also chose what seemed to them to be the higher culture, which in their case was the culture of the environment. They abandoned the Talmud; they flocked to the universities and became authors of German, French, English literature. They soon grew to be more European than Jewish. The fault of the Eastern Jew was that he scorned modernity; the fault of the Western Jew was that he withdrew from history. The finest mental and spiritual types in modern Jewish life came from a combination of both tendencies. The Jews of Galicia, for example, had the old East European Talmudic culture but being part of the Austrian Empire, assimilated, likewise, modern scientific thinking. So, too, many of the Jews from Russia and Poland moved into Western environments and the choicest spirits among them, without abandoning the inherited past, added to itthat which was best in the thought and mood of the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jews of Eastern Europe No modern nation has taken more interest in the Jews than the English-speaking peoples, none has tried to deal more fairly with them. Yet it cannot be pretended that we English know much about their post-Biblical history, practices, and beliefs, much less that we have studied these in relation to Christianity past and present. The aim of this series is to do something towards supplying this want. It will endeavour to describe Jews as they have been and as they are, to state and explain the efforts of Christians in past centuries to win them, and the methods used, and both to set out and to weigh their chief doctrines. Thus gradually but surely a collection of handbooks will be formed, which Jews and Christians alike may use, and each learn to understand better the religion of the other. Naturally the books will be Christian, and because they are Christian will try both to represent Christianity in its proper spirit, and to exhibit it as the supreme truth.

Download or read book The Jews written by Maurice Fishberg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jews: A Study of Race and Environment This volume is an attempt to present the results of anthropo logical, demographic, pathological, and sociological investiga tions of the Jews. Considering that one-fifth of all the Jews in the world live at present in English-speaking countries, and that the migrations of Eastern European Jews tend toivard the United States and England with its colonies, I believe I need not apologize for claiming attention to this subject. The facts presented are not available in any book, and it may safely be declared that the whole world is interested in the subject of the Jews as a race, and the getting into closer touch with the ethnic relations of the Jews. Moreover, the perennial problem, whether it is possible to assimilate the vast number of Southern and Eastern immigrants to the United States and British colonies has been applied more to the Jews than to any other white people. It has even been questioned whether there is ever a probability of incorporating the Jews into the body politic of anglo-saxon communities.

Download or read book The Jews and the Expansion of Europe to the West 1450 1800 written by Paolo Bernardini and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews and Judaism played a significant role in the history of the expansion of Europe to the west as well as in the history of the economic, social, and religious development of the New World. They played an important role in the discovery, colonization, and eventually exploitation of the resources of the New World. Alone among the European peoples who came to the Americas in the colonial period, Jews were dispersed throughout the hemisphere; indeed, they were the only cohesive European ethnic or religious group that lived under both Catholic and Protestant regimes, which makes their study particularly fruitful from a comparative perspective. As distinguished from other religious or ethnic minorities, the Jewish struggle was not only against an overpowering and fierce nature but also against the political regimes that ruled over the various colonies of the Americas and often looked unfavorably upon the establishment and tleration of Jewish communities in their own territory. Jews managed to survive and occasionally to flourish against all odds, and their history in the Americas is one of the more fascinating chapters in the early modern history of European expansion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Jewish Year Book, 5663: October 2, 1902, to September 21, 1903 The Year Book for 5662 dealt mainly with the condition of the Jews in Roumania. In the present volume there is printed a dispatch recently sent by the Secretary of State, the Honorable John Hay, to the Government of Roumania, through the United States Minister to Athens, Copies of the document being forwarded also to the Foreign Offices of the Powers who were signatories to the Treaty of Berlin, which established Roumania as an independent State. Whilst the outcome of the action cannot as yet be foreshadowed, it is safe to say that it is the most important step in behalf of the oppressed Jews of Eastern Europe taken by any government since the Berlin Congress. Its effect upon Russia is likely to be greater than upon Roumania. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: A new 30th Anniversary paperback edition of an award-winning classic. Winner of the National Book Award, 1976 World of Our Fathers traces the story of Eastern Europe's Jews to America over four decades. Beginning in the 1880s, it offers a rich portrayal of the East European Jewish experience in New York, and shows how the immigrant generation tried to maintain their Yiddish culture while becoming American. It is essential reading for those interested in understanding why these forebears to many of today's American Jews made the decision to leave their homelands, the challenges these new Jewish Americans faced, and how they experienced every aspect of immigrant life in the early part of the twentieth century. This invaluable contribution to Jewish literature and culture is now back in print in a new paperback edition, which includes a new foreword by noted author and literary critic Morris Dickstein.
