Sinopsis
This book tells the story of the Jews in England from their arrival in the 11th century to their full integration into British society in the 19th century. It is a story of persecution, prejudice, and discrimination, but it is also a story of resilience, determination, and success. The Jews played a vital role in the development of the English economy, and they made significant contributions to English culture and society. However, they also faced centuries of persecution, culminating in their expulsion from England in 1290. After their expulsion, the Jews were forced to live in exile for over 300 years. During this time, they suffered greatly, but they also maintained their culture and their faith. In the 17th century, a small number of Jews were allowed to return to England. These Jews were mostly merchants and traders, and they quickly reestablished themselves in the English economy. However, they still faced discrimination, and they were not allowed to own land or hold public office. In the 18th century, the situation of the Jews in England began to improve. In 1753, the Naturalization Act was passed, which allowed Jews to become naturalized British citizens. This was followed by the Jewish Relief Act of 1791, which granted Jews the right to own land and hold public office. In the 19th century, the Jews in England continued to make progress. In 1858, they were granted the right to sit in Parliament, and in 1871, they were granted the right to hold high office. By the end of the 19th century, the Jews were fully integrated into British society. This book tells the story of the Jews in England in a comprehensive and engaging way. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of England or the history of the Jews. If you like this book, write a review!
