Contents Description:

The history of medieval Judaism may be considered under two aspects: what the world did to the Jew and what the Jew did for himself. Both aspects are interrelated, but not necessarily dependent. Whether the world had been benign and pacific or—as it was—hostile and cruel, the Jew would still have prayed, studied, entered professions, traveled, organized communal endeavors, in a phrase, pursued the normal activities of social life. - from the back cover
