The Golden Age Of Spain: Jewish History
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Major changes occurred in the 11th century when the Umayyads steadily lost power as the Berbers rose in influence after capturing Cordoba in 1013 CE; the passing decades served as their barometer of progressing power. Cultural and commercial prominence became their focus as capitals and other cities were transformed into Meccas for the two very important elements. As these significant changes were taking place, one more addition would serve to establish an entire population as being both welcomed and honored: the Jews. Indeed, these individuals did not come empty-handed into their newfound environment; rather, they brought with them such important endowments as financial aptitude, politics, economic advisory, as well as a vast amount of humanities-related knowledge in the form of literature, academia and science. The blending of art, linguistics, philosophy, science and medicine rounded out a society that was heretofore underdeveloped in many of these areas. As such, the influence of so many learned Jews soon saw intellectuals and doctors alike holding some of the most important social/legal/political positions in the land. No bibliography.

The Haftorah Portion Of The Book Of Nehemiah, Chapter 8: Interpretive Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. If history did not repeat itself, we would not be equipped - as human beings or as a religion - to deal with the occurrences trying once again to unravel the thread of faith. Revisiting the Haftorah from Nehemiah Chapter 8 on this holiest of days, we are reminded that from suffering comes strength and from strength comes rebirth. There is perhaps no greater alliance of people who have experienced this lesson time and time again than the Jews, which we have both embraced and anguished over at the same time as we rise to the challenge of continuing forward as a cultural faction.

The Jew in the Modern World : A Documentary History
[ send me this paper ]
When considering the issue of the Jewish State and the imperative of its formation as a central component of the Jewish identity, the perspectives of men like Theodor Herzl and Ahad Ha-Am provided differentiated views on the subject.

The Jewish Response to Nazism in the Weimar, Nazi Germany and Nazi-Occupied Europe
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing the Jewish response to Nazism from the 1920s to early 1940s in Germany and Europe. From the time after the First World War and the German defeat until the end of the Second World War and the defeat of the Nazis, the Jewish response to Nazism changed in intensity in accordance with the increasing persecution of the Jews by the Nazis and in perspective through political and economic means and eventually through armed and spiritual resistance. Politically, the Jews were well represented within the Weimar Republic which was the established form of governance after World War I. The Nazi Party used the poor Germany economy and the Jewish membership in the Weimar in their opposition and push against the Republic. Throughout the 1920s, the Nazi opposition against the Weimar and the Nazi open declaration to remove the Jews from Germany led many Jews to leave Germany for other parts of Europe, Britain and North America. When the Weimar ended in 1933 and Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party had gained the political power in Germany, the Jewish business community on a national and an international basis devised an economic boycott of Germany with the hopes of ending the Hitler regime. This however only resulted in the Nazi�s further restrictions against the Jews and their transfer from their homes into Jewish ghettos throughout Germany and in Nazi-occupied Europe. Even within these ghettos, Jews responded with increasing armed and spiritual resistance which further intensified with the Nazi transfer of the Jews into the concentration and extermination camps as part of the process of Hitler�s �final solution�.
