In their long history, Jews encountered political, social,
cultural, and religious crises which threatened not only their very
existence but Jewish identity as well. Examples for such crises
include the Babylonian Exile, the so-called Hellenistic Religious
reforms, the first and second Jewish war, the inquisition, and the
Shoah, but also the encounter of modernity or socio-economic
developments. Political, cultural, and religious crises did not
coin Jewish culture, thought, and religion but forced Jews from the
very beginnings of Judaism until today to rethink and shape their
Jewish identity anew. This volume asks how Jews coped with events
that threatened Jewish existence, culture, and religion and how
they responded to them. Each crisis was different in nature and
evoked hence different developments in Jewish culture, thought, and
religion.
