Yosel ben Todros
Jews of the Ashkenazi diaspora spoke, read, and wrote in two languages: Hebrew and Yiddish. In his work S. Y. Agnon touched on the historical duality that characterized the German language in the culture of Galician Jews after they were incorporated into the Habsburg empire. The state-sponsored linguistic shift from Yiddish to German, which took place over the course of the nineteenth century in the cities and towns of Galicia, was presented by h…
The Legacy of Dubnov and Eastern European Jewry in Israeli Scholarship
The Legacy of Dubnov and Eastern European Jewry in Israeli Scholarship Israel Bartal (bio) In a 1936 article to mark the seventy-fifth birthday of Simon Dubnov, published in the first volume of Zion, the journal of the Historical Society of Israel, the historian Ben-Zion Dinur (1884–1973) wrote: Dubnov’s critique of Zionism does not stem from the foundations of his views; on the contrary, Dubnov’s fundamental assumptions support Zionism in all re…
Back to the Post-Communist Motherlands
This article presents some of the personal observations of a veteran Israeli scholar whose long-years' encounters with the 'real' as well as the 'imagined' eastern Europe have shaped his historical research. As an Israeli-born historian of Polish-Ukrainian origin, (the so-called 'second generation') he claims to share an ambivalent attitude towards his countries of origin with other fellow- historians. Jewish emigrants from eastern Europe have be…

Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Volume 12
From 1772 to 1918 Jews were concentrated more densely in Galicia than in any other area in Europe. This book explores the Jewish community in Galicia and its relationship with the Poles, Ukranians, and other ethnic groups. Chapters include discussions of the consequences of Galician autonomy; Galician Jewish migration to Vienna; the reforms of Maria Theresa and Joseph II in the eighteenth century, the assimilation of the Jewish elite; and levels …
Introduction
Dov of Bolechów
THE COUNCIL OF FOUR LANDS (Va'ad Arba Aratsot) was convened in the 158os and lasted until 1764, when it was dissolved by a decision of the Convocational Sejm. The first known document which with all certainty originates from the deliberations of the Sejm of the Four Lands and deals with the decisions it took was drawn up in 1581. The last surviving document, however, dates from the years after 1764 and deals with discussions on the ways of paying…
