Moscow & Expulsions: Another Look
Description
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-bbtv8-1a7a457 The story of the expulsion from Moscow in 1891 was told at length in the previous episode of Jewish History Soundbites. The feedback generated from that saga has led to another look at two related topics. Expulsions of Jews in recent history, and the Moscow Jewish community under the Czars. Regarding the former, what constitutes an expulsion? Is it limited to a formal expulsion edict, or living conditions that are nearly impossible for Jews that they are forced to leave? What was the Moscow Jewish community like at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries? Who were the members of the Jewish financial elite who resided there, and was it possible to maintain a religious lifestyle so far from the Pale of Settlement? This episode is sponsored by Sofer AI.
