For the longest time, these binaries remained characteristic of Jewish historiography, including in the Central European context. Assuming instead, as the more recent approaches in Habsburg studies do, that pluriculturalism was the basis of common experience in formerly Habsburg Central Europe, and accepting that no single "majority culture" existed, but rather hegemonies were imposed in certain contexts, then the often used binaries are misleading and conceal the complex and sometimes even paradoxical conditions that shaped Jewish life in the region before the Shoah. The very complexity of Habsburg Central Europe both in synchronic and diachronic perspective precludes any singular historical narrative of "Habsburg Jewry," and it is not the intention of this volume to offer an overview of "Habsburg Jewish history." The selected articles in this volume illustrate instead how important it is to reevaluate categories, deconstruct historical narratives, and reconceptualize implemented approaches in specific geographic, temporal, and cultural contexts in order to gain a better understanding of the complex and pluricultural history of the Habsburg Empire and the region as a whole.}, language = {en} } @misc{Ginsburg2023, author = {Ginsburg, Shai}, title = {Marina Zilbergerts, The Yeshiva and the Rise of Modern Hebrew Literature (Bloomington, In: Indiana University Press, 2022), 184 pp., \$ 35.00}, 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-58598}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-585985}, pages = {143 -- 147}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @misc{Cooperman2023, author = {Cooperman, Jessica}, title = {Mark Wortman, Admiral Hyman Rickover: Engineer of Power (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2022), 328 pp., \$ 26.00}, 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-58594}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-585943}, pages = {137 -- 140}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @misc{Jessen2023, author = {Jessen, Caroline}, title = {Kathrin Wittler, Morgenl{\"a}ndischer Glanz: Eine deutsche j{\"u}dische Literaturgeschichte (1750 - 1850) (= Schriftenreihe wissenschaftlicher Abhandlungen des Leo Baeck Instituts 79) (T{\"u}bingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2019), 620 S., 99,00 €}, 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-58589}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-585898}, pages = {128 -- 131}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @misc{Schachter2023, author = {Schachter, Allison}, title = {Barry Trachtenberg, The Holocaust \& the Exile of Yiddish: A History of the Algemeyne Entsiklopedye (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 2022), 336 pp., \$ 37.50}, 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-58583}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-585836}, pages = {121 -- 125}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @misc{Jacob2023, author = {Jacob, Frank}, title = {Shaul Magid, Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2021), 296 pp., \$ 35.00}, 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-58582}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-585827}, pages = {119 -- 121}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @article{StudemundHalevy2023, author = {Studemund-Hal{\´e}vy, Michael}, title = {Desperados at Sea}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, number = {28}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-552-1}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-58579}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-585796}, pages = {100 -- 115}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Pirates are fortune-seeking fighters at sea.

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.
