Jewish History Soundbites 250th commemorative episode.\nAt this milestone, it is perhaps appropriate to take a step back and try to piece together an overview of the underlying theme of the episodes and stories of Jewish History Soundbites.\nModern Jewish history is generally defined as 1500-present, with the late modern period being roughly from 1850-present. The uniqueness of this period is the sweeping changes which developed and ultimately enveloped the Jewish people over the last few centuries.\nSix of those primary changes are emancipation - the struggle for emancipation and equal rights in the 19th century; immigration - the Jewish People sought out new horizons in the modern era; challenges of modernity - in the form of Haskala, integration, secularization, assimilation, changes in governmental policies, advances in technology; spiritual and religious renewal - the Chassidic movement, Yeshiva movement, neo Orthodoxy, Hungarian Orthodoxy, Mussar movement, new forms of education; nationalism - Zionism, cultural autonomy, language, the State of Israel; Holocaust - the catastrophe it wrought and the changes which impacted the Jewish people as a result.\n\xa0\nFor sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:\xa0\xa0yehuda@yehudageberer.com\n\n\xa0\n\nSubscribe To Our Podcast on:\xa0\n\xa0\nPodBean:\xa0https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/\n\xa0\n\nFollow us on Twitter or Instagram at\xa0@Jsoundbites\nYou can email Yehuda at\xa0yehuda@yehudageberer.com
