Contents A room of their own : friendship, fellowship and fraternity -- A place for love : autonomy, choice and partnership -- Room to grow : children, youth and informal education -- A space for Judaism : rites of passage and old-new Jewish holydays -- Rebuilding after the Shoah : the challenges of remembering and reconstruction Summary This is a comparative study of Jewish communities in Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. It analyzes how Jews used social and religious spaces to reformulate patterns of fraternity, celebration, and family formation and expressions of self-identification. It suggests that the social patterns that developed between 1890 and the 1930s were formative for the fundamental reshaping of Jewish community and remain essential to our understanding of contemporary Jewish life Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on July 18, 2022) Subject Jews -- Europe -- Social life and customs -- 20th century Judaism and secularism -- Europe -- History -- 20th century Community life -- Europe -- History -- 20th century Public spaces -- Europe -- History -- 20th century Individualism -- Europe -- History -- 20th century Leisure -- Europe -- History -- 20th century SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Discrimination & Race Relations.
