Jewish History of the 18th Century: Revelation & Revolution #4 -Collected Talks of David Solomon #77    Video


 
Although many of the remarkable developments in 18th-century Jewish life occurred within the boundaries of Europe and Ashkenazi Jewry, so much was happening beyond this region.

In this fascinating Jewish history lecture, David explores some of the most remarkable events, personalities, and contributions of Jews in the Sephardic communities of the 1700s, centred in the:

- Ottoman Empire
- Land of Israel.

In doing so, he discusses:

- Yehudah HaChasid
- Avraham Revigo
- R. Emmanuel Chai Rikki
- R. Chayim Abulafia
- R. Chayim ibn Attar, the Or Hachayim
- R. Shalom Shar’abi, the Rashash.

He also relays stories of some of the most notable emissaries from the Land of Israel to the diaspora, including:

- R. Haim Yosef David Azulai ben Yitzhak Zerachia, the Hida
- R. Moshe Malchi
- R. Raphael Carigal .

The lecture also considers developments in the "new world", including:

In the Americas -

- Francis Salvador
- Haym Salomon

and in the colony of New South Wales, which was to become part of Australia -

- Esther Abrahams
- Joseph Samuel

David concludes the lecture by returning to Europe in the final years of the 18th century to reflect on the enormous changes happening across the continent and their implications for Jewish life in the coming century.

David presented this lecture, the final part of his series on Jewish history of the 18th century, in 2016 at the Jewish Museum of Australia. For other episodes in the series go to:
