This article explores the evolution of Manchester Jewry from the beginnings of the world’s first industrial town in the eighteenth century through to today. It shows how Jews have contributed to the idea of Manchester exceptionalism and been part of the city’s heritage and culture although not always regarded as ‘Manchester men’. The concept of cosmopolitanism is utilised to explore whether this was used to include or marginalise the Jews as people of migrant origin. Different waves of Jewish migration are charted and the relations between Jews of different origins and class explored to show both communal solidarity and conflict.

ABSTRACTWith the establishment of the Lithuanian state in the interwar period, an accelerated secularization process took place among its Jewish residents. In this atmosphere, a ‘Beit-Yakov’ women’s organization arose in Lithuania, intending to bring Jewish women back to religion by studying basic books in Judaism and applying these studies in their lives. Soon, ‘Beit-Yakov’ evolved into an active organization that instilled in its members a belief in their ability not only to establish their homes on the foundations of religion but also to change the direction of the development of the Lithuanian Jewry from secularization towards a return to tradition.KEYWORDS: Lithuanian Beit-Yakov organizationBeit-Yakov study associationsLithuanian JewryLithuanian Tiferet-Bachurim movementsecularization processreturn to Jewish tradition AcknowledgmentsI am grateful to Shaul Stampfer and David Assaf, who read the article, for their helpful comments.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1. See Eric Lohr, ‘The Russian Army and the Jews: Mass Deportation, Hostages, and Violence during World War I,’ Russian Review 60 (2001): 404–19.2. On the impact of life in exile during the war years and afterward on the Jews of Lithuania, see Andrew N. Koss, ‘War within, War without: Russian Refugee Rabbis during World War I,’ AJS Review 34 (2010): 231–63. See also Mordechai Katz, ‘LeMatzav Acheinu beRusia,’ part 3, HaIvri 6, no. 27 (1916): 8. The process of secularization of the Jewish town actually began in the second half of the 19th century. Gradually, it led to the situation that the religious lifestyle of some of the Jewish residents before WWI was derived not from their conscious commitment to Jewish law but from their traditional consciousness, and this, indeed, was severely fractured during the exile; See Asaf Kaniel, ‘Al Milchama uShmirat Mitzvot: Vilna 1914–1922,’ Gal-Ed 24 (2015): 73–4.3.

In regard to the accelerated secularization processes in Lithuania, the results of the 1922 elections to the Autonomous Land Council can be an indication of the attitude the Jews had towards religion and tradition in their lives (Leib Garfunkel, ‘Ma’avakam shel Yehudei Lita al Zchuyot Leumiyot,’ in Yahadut Lita, vol. 2, ed.

This article explores the development of the Jewish community of Łódź, Poland alongside changes in the city as a whole. From a small town at the start of the 19th century, it became a major hub for textile factories, urban labor, and intercultural encounters by the end of the century. Jews experienced and contributed to the changes as workers, factory owners, and chroniclers. The article will examine how aspects related to Łódź’s character and evolution contributed to the wartime and postwar experiences of Jews there, arguing that the city provides a unique and important perspective on modern Jewish history.

ABSTRACT In the postwar decades, Miami Beach became a majority Jewish city partially due to the entrepreneurship first of Jewish hotel owners and then of Jewish builders. As a popular, middle-class vacation resort, it blended elements of big city sophistication with ethnic Jewish tastes. Its southern section housed an exceptional, visible community of elderly, Yiddish-speaking Jews who brought their public culture to its beaches and sidewalks. American Jewish photographers pictured this world as an American shtetl even as Jewish American television producers imagined Miami as a multicultural and multiracial site of vice, eroticism, and cool melodrama.
