Categorically Jewish, Distinctly Polish

Institute for Polish Jewish Studies

This talk asserts that the ‘marriage of convenience’ between the Jews and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was a dynamic relationship.

Moshe Rosman’s revolutionary approach has become a cornerstone of Polish Jewish historiography. Challenging conventions, he asserts that the ‘marriage of convenience’ between the Jews and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was a dynamic relationship that, though punctuated by crisis and persecution, developed into a saga of overall achievement and stability.

With that fundamental message this book forges a thematic survey of Jewish history in early modern Poland. These essays, written by Rosman over the course of a distinguished career, have all been updated and enhanced with new detail and nuanced arguments, taking account not only of new archival material and research but also of the ongoing evolution of the author’s own knowledge and perspectives. Some appear here in English for the first time.
