Building a Public Judaism: Synagogues and Jewish Identity in Nineteenth-Century Europe
Saskia Coenen Snyder
Coenen Snyder considers what the architecture and construction of nineteenth-century European synagogues reveal about the social progress of modern European Jews. The process of claiming a Jewish space was a marker of acculturation but not full acceptance, she argues. The new edifices, even if spectacular, revealed the limits of Jewish integration.
