Unclipped dust jacket with a couple of nicks to upper edges, faint shelfworn and handling marks, light creasing; VG for age. -- This collection of essays offers a comprehensive exploration of the history of Jewish life in Poland, spanning from the origins of the Jewish community through key historical milestones. It traces over a thousand years of Jewish presence in Poland, focusing on cultural, legal, and political interactions between the Jewish population and Polish society. Lewin examines pivotal moments in Polish-Jewish relations, such as the Statute of Kalisz, which granted legal protections to Jews in the Middle Ages, and the political role of Jews in Sejm elections before Poland's partitions. The essays delve into various aspects of Jewish life, including religious practices, community governance, and political movements. Lewin highlights the influence of Jewish law and leadership, discussing the role of rabbis, lawyers, and political figures in shaping the community's identity. The text also offers insight into Jewish participation in the broader political landscape of Poland, particularly in relation to the Polish government and other religious groups. Covering both pre- and post-partition Poland, the book provides a deep understanding of the complex relationship between Jews and Poles, including the challenges and contributions of Jewish communities in regions like Galicia. This is an essential resource for scholars of Jewish history, Polish history, and those interested in the intersection of politics, religion, and law. The book provides detailed historical narratives that highlight the resilience and adaptability of Jewish communities throughout centuries of change, including during the interwar period and the rise of Jewish political movements such as Agudat Israel. -- Contents: Preface by L.Krzyzanowski; Introduction; 1.

Political Orientation of Agudat Israel in Poland 16. Relationship of the Polish Government to the Jewish Population between the Two World Wars; Index -- "Over the course of a thousand years, the Jews in Poland developed into the largest single Jewish community in the world. The existence of this important segment of Polish society was destroyed by the Holocaust. Much of their history was eradicated, leaving barely a trace of their contributions. At once serious and humorous, often sad and moving, these essays offer a panorama of this distinguished community. Dr. Isaac Lewin, noted scholar and historian, discusses the social, legal, and political changes over the years, as well as the relationships of the Jews with the Polish government and the nation as a whole. In the words of Ludwik Krzyzanowski, Vice-President of the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America, 'the stories paint a rich and authentic picture of a segment of Poland's population now irretrievably lost. Following the Holocaust, Dr. Isaac Lewin has saved from oblivion a treasure of genuine Jewish folklore which is part of the universal Jewish heritage'.". Seller Inventory # 007251
