Talk:History of the Jews in Norway

message: Please refer to http://utne.nvg.org/j/njhist.html for some sources that show that Portuguese Jews were permitted to travel freely (i.e., no travel pass / letter of safe conduct necessary) in Norway in major parts of the timespan 1657–1851:
* 19 January, 1657 – “A new decret of January 19, 1657 granted the ‘Portuguese’ Jews the right of travelling and doing business freely and unhindered in the [Danish] King's countries, a privilege that of all likelihood had purely financial reasons. But from the expression ‘the King’s countries’, it seems clear that the permission also was extended to Norway [which was ruled by the Danish king]” (Henrik Wergeland
* 30 July, 1684 – “Decret concerning Portuguese of the Hebrew nation; (which confirms their privileges of January 19, 1657, that are confirmed on December 14, 1670, so that the Decret of April 16, 1681 is not to be aimed towards them. See Pl. of January 23, 1750.]” (Schous Forordninger)
* 23 January, 1750 – “... the Jews that were permitted entrance to the country at the time when the Constitution was issued, which, according to a decret of January 23, 1750 — being more recent than any of the regulations that prohibit Jews from entering Norway, was the case for the so-called Portuguese-Jews. ... Christiania [Oslo], the Supreme Court, March 19, 1842.”
Between the seemingly full ban in 1687 and the decret of 1750 confirming Portuguese Jews’ rights, police records of 1710 show, according to Wergeland, that there were Jews who were permitted to “dwell, live, and build” in Bergen at that time. Otherwise, the general rule during this period was that Ashkenazim needed to apply for a letter of safe conduct whilst Sephardim did not. Hence, the records show Ashkenazi Jews applying for travel passes, but otherwise my impression is that we see mainly Sephardim being involved in business (such as Samuel Teixeira, Magnus Gabriel and members of the Hambro and Mariboe families). -- Olve 05:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Portuguese Jews’ legal status in Norway 

message: I keep deleting this sentence, because I'm not sure what it's supposed to accomplish.  The article deliberately avoids any analysis of the motivations behind the constitutional ban in general and antisemitism in particular.  I would suspect that antisemitism was pretty much a non-issue except for Wergeland's efforts to rescind the relevant sections of paragraph 2.  If anti-semitism "played a role," what role did it play?  Are we to infer that it didn't play that role earlier or later?  --Leifern 19:15, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
:A better reason to keep deleting it is because it simply doesn't mean anything of relevance.  In my freshman composition class at university, my professor called this kind of writing "deadwood".  Tomer TALK 02:40, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
:Oh.  And a better question than "what rôle did it play?" is "played a rôle in what?!"  Tomer TALK 02:41, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
This section requires serious editing or a complete rewrite as it is very inaccurate.
Also the mixing of being opposed to the actions taken by Israel and this automaticly making a person a so called "new anti-Semite" is not something that should be done.
A person must be able to disagree with the actions of a nation, Gaarders article never even mentions the religion and still he is labelled. this serves no purpose.
The section in itself must be allowed to stay as it is a serious matter that should be addressed but at this time it does so very poorly and gives the impression that there were major rises and that a large portion of the citizens hate Jews or the state of Israel, which is not the case.

replies: text: Oh, please. The section cites articles and studies on the matter. I'm sorry if it doesn't agree with your opinion. --Leifern 03:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  " In the first part of the century, [[anti-semitism]] played a role in Norway" 

message: There seems to be some confusion here. This article is about history, more specifically Jewish history as it relates to the History of Norway. Until a few days ago it did not have its own category but because now that the new main category of :Category:Jewish Norwegian history has been created it has made this article the main and only lead article for :Category:Jewish Norwegian history. Most of the categories that had previously been here have now been placed under the actual :Category:Jewish Norwegian history page, as well as under the :Category:Norwegian Jews page (as appropriate), because they became parent categories, and they have not been "deleted."  See Wikipedia:Categorization. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 12:33, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article and its own category 

message: Please can somebody who speaks the language review reference 17 and see if it fully supports the content that is being pinned on it? It is a video so I can't do a Google Translate on it. The content pinned on it is pretty alarmist, and has recently been expanded to be even more so, hence my concern that we might not be accurately reflecting the source. The same text appears in Antisemitism in Norway so it is doubly important that it can be verified. Please can we check for exaggeration and hyperbole, in particular is the anecdote about the alleged attempted lynching supported? Thanks. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:05, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
