Introduction
Constitutio in actu? Eliezer Dileon’s Letter to the Minsk Kahal, 1817
A letter by the army contractor Eliezer Dileon to the community board of Minsk relating his audience with Tsar Alexander I of Russia in January 1817 sheds light on the significance of the performative dimension of Jewish intercession. In the perception of the intercessor, due to the personal encounter between the sovereign ruler and himself, the Jews in Russia constitute part of the political and societal fabric of the Empire, it sees them as ‘a …
The politics of precariousness – Josel of Rosheim and Jewish intercession in the Holy Roman Empire in the 16th century
This contribution argues that Josel of Rosheim (1478–1554), the most prominent Jewish intercessor in the history of the Holy Roman Empire, considered intercession as a necessary instrument of his political involvement which he applied with routine and success, though that he also was conscious of its limitations.

Sensitive travelers
Beginning with a reference to early modern, religiously motivated pilgrimages to Erets-Yisroel, this article explores the quest of four travelers of the interwar period for clues of personal, cultural, and political belonging by visiting Mandatory Palestine. It reveals to what significant degree the perceptions of the travelers – two East European Jews, a Polish-Catholic journalist, and one Central European Jewish author – were shaped by preexist…
A Tuml in the Shtetl
Migration et stéréotype
La fin de l’insurrection polonaise de 1863 marque le début d’une immigration spécifique de juifs russes dans les territoires du royaume de Pologne. Ce mouvement migratoire, qui concerna un nombre très important de juifs russophones et non hassidiques (les estimations atteignent 250 000 personnes), ne prit fin que peu de temps avant la Première Guerre mondiale. Cet article analyse les différentes causes de ce mouvement de migration qu’il propose d…
