[Review of] Harvey E. Goldberg, ed. and trans., The Book of Mordechai: A Study of the Jews of Libya

The Book of Mordechai: A Study of the Jews of Libya contains a translation of roughly half of Mordechai Hakohen\u27s Highid Mordekhai, a Hebrew volume describing the history, customs and institutions of the Jews of Tripolitania, completed in Libya in the 1920s but first published by Harvey Goldberg in Jerusalem in 1978. For this English translation, Goldberg has rewritten and expanded his introduction so that it provides both historical background and biographical data on Hakohen. He has also appended a most valuable series of head notes and endnotes which both clarify and supplement the text

L'influence de la Révolution américaine sur les juifs d'Amérique

The impact of the american revolution on american jews. The American Revolution had an enormous impact on Jewish life in America. Wartime migrations changed the distribution of Jews in the colonies and created new social patterns. War also fostered economic mobility and ritual laxity. Many Jews considered the war an initiation rite, and having passed they demanded complete liberty and equality. While Protestant Dissenters supported some of these claims, they basically fought for no more than Protestant pluralism. Jews won most of their rights through the efforts of Enlightenment rationalists. In the wake of the Constitution, Jews sought to prove that they could be loyal and devoted citizens, even organizing their synagogues on democratic principles modelled on the Constitution. But though they displayed their patriotism conspicuously, and slavishly copied prevailing Protestant standards of behavior, they failed to win total acceptance.Sarna Jonathan D.
