While some Jewish representatives in the city aimed at preserving and intertwining Hanseatic and Jewish traditions in order to secure a Jewish presence in the port city under the pressure of the Nazi regime and thereafter, others wanted to create new emigration opportunities, especially to Mandatory Palestine, and create a Jewish maritime future in Eretz Israel. Different Zionist organizations supported the newly evolving maritime ideas, such as the "conquest of the sea", and promoted the image of a Jewish seafaring nation. Despite the difficulties in the 1940s, these concepts gained influence post-1945 and led to the foundation of the fishery kibbutz "Zerubavel" in Blankenese/Hamburg. However, the idea of a Hanseatic Jewish future also remained influential and illustrates how differently a "Jewish maritime future" was imagined and used to link past, present and future.}, language = {en} } @article{Weinmann2023, author = {Weinmann, Franziska}, title = {Mothers of Seafaring}, series = {PaRDeS : Journal of the Association for Jewish Studies in Germany}, journal = {PaRDeS : Journal of the Association for Jewish Studies in Germany}, number = {28}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-552-1}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-58556}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-585563}, pages = {52 -- 67}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The article aims to trace the contribution of Jewish women in the Yishuv's maritime history.
