Rites and Passages
The Beginnings of Modern Jewish Culture in France, 1650-1860 (Jewish Culture and Contexts)
by Jay R. Berkovitz
"Rites and Passages emphasizes the resilience of religious tradition during periods of social and political turbulence. Viewing French Jewish history through the lens of ritual, Berkovitz describes the struggles of the French Jewish minority to maintain its cultural distinctiveness while also participating in the larger social and economic matrix." "Introducing new and previously unused primary sources, Rites and Passages offers a fresh perspective on the dynamic relationship between tradition and modernity."--BOOK JACKET.
