Sephardic and Ashkenazic Judaism have long been studied separately.
Yet, scholars are becoming ever more aware of the need to merge
them into a single field of Jewish Studies. This volume opens new
perspectives and bridges traditional gaps. The authors are not
simply contributing to their respective fields of Sephardic or
Ashkenazic Studies. Rather, they all include both Sephardic and
Ashkenazic perspectives as they reflect on different aspects of
encounters and reconsider traditional narratives. Subjects range
from medieval and early modern Sephardic and Ashkenazic
constructions of identities, influences, and entanglements in the
fields of religious art, halakhah, kabbalah, messianism, and
charity to modern Ashkenazic Sephardism and Sephardic admiration
for Ashkenazic culture. For reasons of coherency, the contributions
all focus on European contexts between the fourteenth and the
nineteenth centuries.
