The Dutch Intersection
The Jews and the Netherlands in Modern History
Series: - Brill's Series in Jewish Studies, Volume: 38
Editor:
This collection of historical studies deals with the multiple connections between the history and culture of the Jews of the Netherlands from the beginning of the seventeenth century until the period after the Holocaust, and phenomena and processes that distinguish the history of the Jewish people in the modern period. The Jews of the Netherlands were not only nourished by the cultural creativity of the great Sephardi and Ashkenazi centers, East and West, but also at various stages they served as a source of inspiration for Jews elsewhere in the Jewish Diaspora. The articles of this volume examin the influence of general Jewish history on that of the Jews of the Netherlands and focus on events and processes that highlight the significance of of Dutch Jewry for modern Jewish culture.
Yosef Kaplan is Bernard Cherrick Chair of Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has published extensively on early modern Jewish history, on the history of the marranos and on the western Sephardi diaspora, including From Christianity to Judaism. The Story of Isaac Orobio de Castro (Oxford, 1989) and An Alternative Path to Modernity (Brill, 2000).
