Stereotyped as delicate and feeble intellectuals, Jewish men in
German-speaking lands in fact developed a rich and complex spectrum
of male norms, models, and behaviors. Jewish Masculinities explores
conceptions and experiences of masculinity among Jews in Germany
from the 16th through the late 20th century as well as emigrants to
North America, Palestine, and Israel. The volume examines the
different worlds of students, businessmen, mohels, ritual
slaughterers, rabbis, performers, and others, shedding new light on
the challenge for Jewish men of balancing German citizenship and
cultural affiliation with Jewish communal solidarity, religious
practice, and identity.
