9789004367531: Religious Changes and Cultural Transformations in the Early Modern Western Sephardic Communities

Synopsis

The Western Sephardic communities came into being as a result of confessional migration. However, in contrast to the other European confessional communities, the Sephardic Jews in Western Europe came to Judaism after a separation of generations from the religion of their ancestors. The contributions in this volume detail those transformations in the Early Modern Western Sephardic communities.
