Simon M. Dubnow's "Jewish History: An Essay in the Philosophy of History" is a seminal work that explores the history of the Jewish people from a unique philosophical perspective. Dubnow, a historian and Jewish scholar, wrote this book to offer not just a chronological account of events but also to present a philosophical and interpretative understanding of Jewish history. Key features of the book include: Philosophical Approach: Dubnow introduces a distinctive philosophy of history, often referred to as "Autonomism." This perspective emphasizes the uniqueness of the Jewish historical experience, asserting that Jewish history follows its own distinct trajectory and principles. Chronological Overview: While offering a philosophical lens, Dubnow also provides a chronological overview of Jewish history, spanning from ancient times to the contemporary period (the book was first published in 1903, so the contemporary period at that time covered the early 20th century). Key Themes: The book explores essential themes in Jewish history, including the dispersion of the Jewish people, their relationship with different cultures and nations, and the evolution of Jewish communal structures. Cultural and Religious Developments: Dubnow delves into the cultural and religious developments within the Jewish community, examining how these aspects shaped the identity and resilience of the Jewish people over time. Diaspora Experience: The author emphasizes the unique aspect of the Jewish diaspora experience, highlighting the cultural and social dynamics that enabled the Jewish community to maintain a distinct identity despite residing in various regions. Impact on Jewish Thought: "Jewish History" has had a profound impact on the study of Jewish history and thought. Dubnow's Autonomism became influential, and his work paved the way for further exploration of the philosophy of Jewish history. Legacy: Dubnow's book remains an important and influential work in Jewish historiography. While some aspects of his philosophy have been debated, his contribution to the understanding of Jewish history has left a lasting legacy. "Jewish History: An Essay in the Philosophy of History" is not only a historical survey but also a philosophical exploration that seeks to understand the distinctive nature of Jewish historical development. It continues to be a thought-provoking and influential work in the field of Jewish studies.

A landmark collection of essays by prominent academics in modern Jewish and German-Jewish history, honoring Michael A. Meyer, a pioneer in those fields. In Mediating Modernity, contemporary Jewish scholars pay tribute to Michael A. Meyer, scholar of German-Jewish history and the history of Reform Judaism, with a collection of essays that highlight growing diversity within the discipline of Jewish studies. The occasion of Meyer's seventieth birthday has served as motivation for his colleagues Lauren B. Strauss and Michael Brenner to compile this volume, with essays by twenty-four leading academics, representing institutions in five countries. Mediating Modernity is introduced by an overview of modern Jewish historiography, largely drawing on Meyer's work in that field, delineating important connections between the writing of history and the environment in which it is written. Meyer's own areas of specialization are reflected in essays on Moses Mendelssohn, German-Jewish historiography, the religious and social practices of German Jews, Reform Judaism, and various Jewish communities in America. The volume's field of inquiry is broadened by essays that deal with gender issues, literary analysis, and the historical relationship of Israel and the Palestinians. Though other volumes have been compiled to honor Jewish historians, Mediating Modernity is unique in the personal and intellectual relationships shared by its contributors and Michael A. Meyer. Scholars of Jewish studies, German history, and religious history will appreciate this timely volume.

Publication of Yosef Yerushalmi's Zakhor in 1982 inspired a generation of scholarly inquiry into historical images and myths, the construction of the Jewish past, and the making and meaning of collective memory. Here, eminent scholars in their respective fields extend the lines of his seminal study into topics that range from medieval rabbinics, homiletics, kabbalah, and Hasidism to antisemitism, Zionism, and the making of modern Jewish identity. Essays are clustered around four central themes: historical consciousness and the construction of memory; the relationship between time and history in Jewish thought; the demise of traditional forms of collective memory; and the writing of Jewish history in modern times.

Coming to Terms with America examines how Jews have long “straddled two civilizations,” endeavoring to be both Jewish and American at once, from the American Revolution to today. In fifteen engaging essays, Jonathan D. Sarna investigates the many facets of the Jewish-American encounter—what Jews have borrowed from their surroundings, what they have resisted, what they have synthesized, and what they have subverted. Part I surveys how Jews first worked to reconcile Judaism with the country’s new democratic ethos and to reconcile their faith-based culture with local metropolitan cultures. Part II analyzes religio-cultural initiatives, many spearheaded by women, and the ongoing tensions between Jewish scholars (who pore over traditional Jewish sources) and activists (who are concerned with applying them). Part III appraises Jewish-Christian relations: “collisions” within the public square and over church-state separation. Originally written over the span of forty years, many of these essays are considered classics in the field, and several remain fixtures of American Jewish history syllabi. Others appeared in fairly obscure venues and will be discovered here anew. Together, these essays—newly updated for this volume—cull the finest thinking of one of American Jewry’s finest historians.
