WHAT Is JEWISH
HISTORY

What Is Jewish History" is the
title OF an interesting article contrib
uted TO the North American Review
byProfessor Abram S. Issacs- Jewish
history did not end with the fall of
jerusalem, as is commonly supposed;
it really began from that date, since
the Jews then lost a little strip of
soil and began to gain contact with
the world at large Even before then.
they had begun TO wander; the Jews
were found in Egypt, in Greece, in
Italy, in Asia Minor. But thereafter
they followed the Roman soldier
along the Rhine, in Gaul, in Bohe-
mia; and, on their expulsion from
Spain. they went to Central Europe,
Poland and Holland. emigrating from
the latter country to Brazil and the
West Indies, whence the first band
of Jewish emigrants came to the
United States Professor Isaacs says:
The proseriptive measures Of
State and Church from the early CEN
turtles had practically the aim in view
attributed to a distinguished Russian
official who recently died, but not the
hands of an assassin. 1t was to drive
a third of the Jews to death, a third
to exile, and third to the Church.
It is possible that this computation
is correct, although there are no ex-
act statistics to confirm it. Doubt
less many Jews sought security by
conversion, while intermaTriage had
It's natural effect in Withdrawals
from Judaism. Jewish and princely
blood have often commingled, espe-
cially in Spain. No more thrilling
chapter is found in Jewish history
than that which records the fate of
the Maranos Of Spain and Portugal,
the majority Of whom publicly pro-
fessed Christianity and yet remained
Jews in private. Against them the
mob was embittered more than
against their former brethren, and
unutterably cruel were the sufferings
they had to undergo. Hundreds, nay
thousands, met death at the stake
rather than renounee in reality their
olden faith; while as emigrants, like
the Huguenots, they added to the
wealth of their adopted country and
became leaders in varied lines"
