In describing these activities, they spoke of feelings of \u003ci\u003esolidarité\u003c\/i\u003e and a mission to bring \u003ci\u003ecivilisation\u003c\/i\u003e to Jews everywhere, a language more meaningful in the French public arena than in Jewish tradition. Far from a remnant of ancient feelings, Jewish solidarity is a modern phenomenon with roots in its inventors' integration into French political culture. Why did acculturation inspire elite French Jews to affirm their Jewishness through international aid? What did their actions mean in the French public sphere, and how did they transform Jewish identity?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a book that speaks to French historians and Jewish historians alike, \u003ci\u003eSacred Bonds of Solidarity\u003c\/i\u003e explores the historical roots of Jewish international aid and the language of \"solidarity\" that accompanied it. In using this language, French Jews redefined Jewish identity in lasting ways. At the same time, they helped shape state secularism and the \"civilizing mission\" in French foreign and colonial policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Moses Leff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804752516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804752510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.34w x 1.04d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 54","brand":"Lisa Moses Leff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120257691903,"sku":"9780804752510","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46e624e0-c71d-441b-b312-a9a4adea3374.jpg?v=1687413341","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sacred-bonds-of-solidarity-lisa-moses-leff-9780804752510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
