Jewish Masculinities: German Jews, Gender, and History

Stereotyped as delicate and feeble intellectuals, Jewish men inGerman-speaking lands in fact developed a rich and complex spectrum of male norms, models, and behaviors. Jewish Masculinities explores conceptions and experiences ofmasculinity among Jews in Germany from the 16th through the late 20th century aswell as emigrants to North America, Palestine, and Israel. The volume examines thedifferent worlds of students, businessmen, mohels, ritual slaughterers, rabbis, performers, and others, shedding new light on the challenge for Jewish men ofbalancing German citizenship and cultural affiliation with Jewish communalsolidarity, religious practice, and identity.
