During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Orthodox Jewry in the German empire faced a spiritual struggle as tradition collided with modernity, leading to paradox and contradiction. Mordechai Breuer's work offers an insightful social history focused on the efforts of key figures like Esriel Hildesheimer and Samson Raphael Hirsch, who sought to integrate German culture with Jewish tradition. Breuer illustrates how Orthodox Jewry, with its rich intellectual heritage, responded to the challenges posed by the Jewish reform movement. He highlights the flexibility of Orthodoxy, which allowed Jews to engage in German cultural and economic life while remaining committed to their faith. Utilizing a diverse array of sources, including periodicals, memoirs, and religious texts, Breuer provides a nuanced understanding of the era's documentation. His analysis covers the significant influence of Jewish Orthodoxy on various aspects of life, such as education, literature, the arts, economic status, cultural perceptions of Orthodoxy, and the identity challenges faced by German Jews. This account is compelling for readers interested in social history and is essential for scholars and students studying Jewish and German history and religion.
