Polish-Jewish Masculinities and the Challenge of Modernity
Hosted By: YIVO
The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research presents a discussion of “Men of Valor and Anxiety,” a study of changing ideas about Jewish masculinity in Eastern Europe between the 1890s and 1930s. The book explores how religion, class, antisemitism, nationalism and new social expectations reshaped male identity in settings ranging from military barracks to yeshivot and Jewish homes. The program examines how debates over masculinity reflected broader cultural and political transformations in Jewish life.
