Course description
Jewish Communities within Christian Society in the Middle Ages (up to 1096)
This course will provide a study of Jewish history in Christian Europe from the 10th to the 12th centuries, in medieval northern France, England and Germany. We will extensively examine the theological background of Diaspora Jewry and Christianity in the first centuries of the Common Era; the Jewish migration to northern France, Germany and England; the establishment of Jewish communities in these areas; and the ways in which the Jewish population earned its livelihood.  We will expand our examination in the 11th century, investigating the cultural developments in both the Jewish and Christian worlds that reached a climax at the end of the century with the First Crusade to the Holy Land and the havoc wrought on German Jewry in 1096.
