Jewish Emancipation, then and Now. 62nd Leo Baeck Memorial Lecture by David Sorkin

Recorded on December 8, 2019 at the Center for Jewish History, New York. David Sorkin, the Lucy G. Moses Professor of History at Yale University, gives the 62nd Leo Baeck Memorial lecture, entitled “Emancipation, Then and Now,” based on his research for the forthcoming book, "Jewish Emancipation: A History Across Five Centuries." https://press.princeton.edu/books/har... Emancipation, Sorkin shows, was not a one-time or linear event that began with the Enlightenment or French Revolution and culminated with Jews' acquisition of rights in Central Europe in 1867–71 or Russia in 1917. Rather, emancipation was and is a complex, multidirectional, and ambiguous process characterized by deflections and reversals, defeats and successes, triumphs and tragedies. For example, American Jews mobilized twice for emancipation: in the nineteenth century for political rights, and in the twentieth for lost civil rights. Similarly, Israel itself has struggled from the start to institute equality among its heterogeneous citizens. By telling the story of this foundational but neglected event, Sorkin reveals the lost contours of Jewish history over the past half millennium. The Leo Baeck Memorial Lecture is endowed by Marianne C. Dreyfus and Family, the descendants of Rabbi Leo Baeck. This video also features an interview with Marianne Dreyfus, the granddaughter of Leo Baeck.
