The Jews of Pinsk, 1506-1880 is the first part of a major scholarly
project about a small city in Eastern Europe where Jews were a
majority of the population from the end of the eighteenth century.
Pinsk boasted both traditional rabbinic scholars and famous Hasidic
figures, and over time became an international trade emporium, a
center of the Jewish Enlightenment, a cradle of Zionism and the
Jewish Labor movement, and a place where Orthodoxy struggled
vigorously with modernity. The two volumes of Pinsk history were
originally part of a literature created by Jews who survived the
Holocaust and were determined to keep in memory a vital world that
flourished for half a millennium. In this case, the results are
extraordinary: no town of Eastern Europe has been described in such
fascinating detail, invaluable to Jewish and non-Jewish historians
alike. For the second volume of this two-volume collection, see The
Jews of Pinsk, 1881-1941.
