Michael: On the History of the Jews in the Diaspora, Vol. 17

Editors: Simha Goldin and Joseph Isaac Lifshitz

Jews lived amongst Christians for at least one millennium and, in this collection of articles, we learn that the daily life and relationship between Jews and Christians was both varied and complex. Even the borders of the Jewish street or the Jewish neighborhood were not that defined. This volume seeks to explore not only the physical structure of the medieval Jewish neighborhood but also the very concept of “neighborhood” and the social and cultural implications embedded therein.
