Description: A deeply researched and revealing study of the Jews of Moravia throughout the nineteenth century.
Review Quotes: "It is a fascinating story, told by Miller with great erudition and much sympathy for the ability of Moravia's rabbinical leaders to steer their community through the shoals of modernization under conditions that combined great autonomy with the continuing oppressive burden of the Familiants Laws."--Shlomo Avineri "Jewish Review of Books"
