"For centuries Jews in Germany were denied full rights and excluded from gentile society.
At the same time, Jewish law restricted scholarship to exegesis of the Talmud. But
from the late seventeenth century onward, as German universities progressively opened
their doors to them, many Jews turned toward university studies. This process accelerated
around 1800 once education (Bildung) assumed a central role for social ascent among
the so-called Bildungsbürgertum (cultural bourgeoisie). Many Jews sought to benefit
from the professional and social opportunities that university attendance enabled,
but they soon discovered that while the state encouraged education as a means of "moral
improvement" of the Jews, it was unwilling to concede them the right to professional
careers. Alienated from their ancestral religion and unwilling or unable to return
to trading occupations, academized Jews often found themselves leading precarious
existences. Many joined the struggle for emancipation or took up the reform of Judaism.
Now available in English translation for the first time, Monika Richarz's classic
study addresses the far-reaching transformation of German Jewry under the impact of
university education. It traces the secularization of Jewish education, the significance
of academic education for social assimilation, and the loss of Jewish solidarity with
increasing acculturation and emancipation"
