Eighteenth Century of Anti-Semitism By Exiling Jews

 Nadene Goldfoot

Eighteenth century

1703                                                                     

The Aleinu prayer is prohibited in most of Germany. There are 21 lines.
In the traditional words of the Aleinu, we state that God will "sweep away false gods from the earth" and "repair the world." On that day, the prayer says, "God will be One and God's Name will be One." The Aleinu, in its essence, is a prayer about our hope for the world to be united and at peace, for evil to be driven ..Aleinu or Aleinu leshabei'ach, meaning "it is upon us" or "it is our obligation or duty [to praise God]", is a Jewish prayer found in the siddur, the classical Jewish prayerbook. It is recited in most communities at the end of each of the three daily Jewish services and in the middle of the Rosh Hashanah mussaf.
1It is our duty to praise the Master of all,Aleinu l'šabeaḥ la'Adon hakolעָלֵינוּ לְשַׁבֵּחַ לַאֲדוֹן הַכֹּל,‎
2to ascribe greatness to the Author of creation,latet gedulah l'yoṣer b'reišit,לָתֵת גְּדֻלָּה לְיוֹצֵר בְּרֵאשִׁית,
                                                       
            
1706
An outbreak of the plague and a terrible famine in Algiers reduced many Jewish families to indigence. Then, influenced by false accusations, the bey imposed an exorbitant fine on the community and ordered the destruction of the synagogues, which were saved only by the payment of a further sum. This ruined the majority of the Jews.
1711
Johann Andreas Eisenmenger writes his Entdecktes Judenthum ("Judaism Unmasked"), a work denouncing Judaism and which had a formative influence on modern antisemitic polemics.In Amsterdam he met three Christians who had been converted to Judaism, and this filled him with indignation. As a further cause of his hatred of Judaism, he claims the otherwise unknown attacks against Christianity which he heard from the mouth of David Lida, then (1681) rabbi of Amsterdam. For nineteen years he studied rabbinical literature assisted by Jews, first in Heidelberg and afterward in Frankfort-on-the-Main, pretending that he desired to be converted to Judaism.Having collected from rabbinical literature all that was calculated to bring it into disrepute and to give justification for anti-Jewish prejudices, he published his "Entdecktes Judenthum" (Judaism Unmasked), which has remained the arsenal for detractors of Talmudic literature down to the present day. We have 2;  Palestinian- by people before 400 BCE and Babylonian-by people before 500 BCE. This one is longer.    A collection of the records of academic discussion and judicial administration of Jewish Law by generations of scholars and jurists in many academies and in more than one country. What a record of thinking before those dates!  
1712
Blood libel in Sandomierz, Poland and expulsion of the town's Jews. An allegation that Jews murder Christians in order to get blood for the Passover or other rituals.  
1715

.
1717
All Jews living in Gibraltar-bordered on north by Spain,  are expelled.
1718
The last Jews of Carniola, Styria and Carinthia are expelled.
They are historically significant regions in the Alps, primarily located in what is now Slovenia and Austria. They were part of the Inner Austrian territories, ruled by the Habsburgs. These regions were duchies, and their historical significance lies in their role as a buffer zone between the Habsburg lands and the Kingdom of Hungary, Venice, and other surrounding states. 
1721
Arab creditors set fire to an Ashkenazi synagogue, fed up with debts. Ashkenazi Jews are banned from Jerusalem along with anyone who looks like an Ashkenazi Jew. Some Ashkenazim dressed up like Sephardic Jews in order to fool the authorities.
1721
Maria Barbara Carillo was burned at the stake for heresy during the Spanish Inquisition. She was executed at the age of 95 or 96 and is the oldest person known to have been executed at the instigation of the Inquisition. Carillo was sentenced to death for heresy for returning to her faith in Judaism.
1724

This event was a major spectacle in Lima, Peru but it raised questions about possible irregular procedures and corruption within the Inquisition.
1737
Blood libel in Jarosław, Poland leads to Jews being tortured and others being put to death.  
1742 Elizabeth of Russia issues a decree of expulsion of all the Jews out of Ukraine. Her resolution to the Senate's appeal regarding harm to the trade: "I don't desire any profits from the enemies of Christ". One of the deportees is Antonio Ribera Sanchez, her own personal physician and the head of army's medical dept.  In 1742, Elizabeth of Russia (Elizaveta Petrovna), not Queen Elizabeth (of England), was the reigning empress of Russia. She came to power in 1741 and ruled until her death in 1762. While Elizabeth did rule a vast territory, including parts of what is now Ukraine, it's important to note that the concept of "Ukraine" as a distinct, unified entity is a more modern idea. The territory she ruled was part of the broader Russian Empire, and its governance was structured differently than a modern nation-state. 
1743
The Russians gain control of Riga, Latvia and all local Jews are expelled.
1744
Frederick II The Great (a "heroic genius", according to Hitler) limits Breslau, Poland to ten "protected" Jewish families, on the grounds that otherwise they will "transform it into complete Jerusalem". He encourages this practice in other Prussian cities. In 1750 he issues Revidiertes General Privilegium und Reglement vor die Judenschaft: "protected" Jews had an alternative to "either abstain from marriage or leave Berlin" (Simon Dubnow).

   Catholic rite in church by priest:  
In the Catholic Eucharist, the bread is unleavened, wheaten bread, often called a host. The wine is natural grape wine, typically red, to which a small quantity of water is added. The bread and wine are consecrated and transformed into the body and blood of Christ, according to Catholic belief. 
1761
Several Jews from Alsace, France are executed after being accused of host desecration,

Rhode Island became the 13th state to ratify the Constitution on May 29, 1790. 
1766
All but 6 Jews are expelled from Toruń, Poland.
1768
Haidamaks massacre the Jews of Uman, Ukraine.
Russian brigand bands of the eighteenth century. The disorganized condition of Poland during the eighteenth century made it possible for the discontented peasants and Cossacks of the Greek Orthodox faith to make organized attacks on their Catholic masters—the Polish nobles—and the Jews. The general disorder, and the agitation of the Greek Orthodox priests led to the formation of brigand bands known as "Haidamacks," composed of runaway serfs, Saporogians, and Cossacks from Russian Ukraine. In 1734 and again in 1750, under Cossack leaders, they robbed and destroyed many towns, villages, and estates in Kiev, Volhynia, and Podolia, killing a great number of Jews and Polish nobles. In 1768 occurred the Uman massacre, when Gonta and his followers killed thousands of Jews, sparing neither old nor young.

"... the Government of the United States ... gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance. ... May the children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy."

Moses Seixas was a first-generation American of Portuguese Jewish stock, his parents having emigrated from Lisbon. The family settled in Newport, Rhode Island, where Seixas was later to distinguish himself in civic, religious, and mercantile affairs. A Freemason, Seixas was grand master of his Masonic lodge.There is an annual event reading Washington's letter, and speakers at the annual event have included Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan; and Brown University Presidents Ruth Simmons and Christina Paxson.

                  1806 French print depicting Napoleon granting freedom of worship to the Jews

The first laws to 
emancipate Jews in France were enacted during the French Revolution, establishing them as citizens equal to other Frenchmen. In countries that Napoleon Bonaparte's ensuing Consulate and French Empire conquered during the Napoleonic Wars, he emancipated the Jews and introduced other ideas of liberty. He overrode old laws restricting Jews to reside in ghettos, removed the forced identification of Jews by their wearing the Star of David. In Malta, he ended the enslavement of Jews and permitted the construction of a synagogue there. He also lifted laws that limited Jews' rights to property, worship, and certain occupations. In anticipation of a victory in the Holy Land that failed to come about, he wrote a proclamation published in April 1799 for a Jewish homeland there.

Seventeenth Century's Anti-Semitism-Period of Marranos and National Catastrophe

 Nadene Goldfoot                                         

      Marranos celebrating a Jewish holiday but with an eye out for the policing of Jews.   Marranos refers to the secret Jews of Spain and Portugal who, following the Spanish Inquisition in 1492, were compelled to convert to Catholicism while secretly maintaining their Jewish beliefs and practices.In modern Spanish, marrano means "pig", or, more often, "dirty person". Because of these possible meanings for the term Marrano might also be offensive to some descendants of Spanish Jews. Crypto-Jews or the Hebrew word Anusim (אנוסים). "Anusim" literally translates to "forced ones" and is a more respectful term for those who were forced to convert to Christianity but continued to practice Judaism in secret.  

1600 
14 Judaizers are punished in Lima, Peru.
Jewish people have lived in Lima, Peru since the mid-16th century, particularly after the city's founding by Francisco Pizarro in 1535. While there was a smaller secret Jewish community in the colonial period (16th-17th centuries) due to the Spanish Inquisition, a larger influx of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Jewish community in Lima reached its peak in the 1970s, with most of Peru's Jewish population residing there. 
1603
Frei Diogo da Assumpcão, a partly Jewish friar(marrano) who embraced Judaism, burned alive in Lisbon.
1605
16 Judaizers are arrested in Lima, Peru.
In early Christianity, "Judaizers" were Jewish Christians   who believed that Gentiles needed to follow the Mosaic Law, including circumcision, to be considered true followers of Jesus. They opposed Paul's view that salvation was through faith in Christ alone and that Gentiles were not bound by the Old Testament Law. The term "Judaizer" comes from the Greek word for "to live as the Jews," reflecting the Judaizers' emphasis on Jewish customs and practices. Sounds like Jews not covering the fact; being Peru and having been baptized, different 
from Marranos.  
1608
The Jesuit order forbids admission to anyone descended from Jews to the fifth generation, a restriction lifted in the 20th century. Three years later Pope Paul V applies the rule throughout the Church, but his successor revokes it.The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, is a Roman Catholic religious order of men. Founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, they are known for their commitment to education, social justice, and global mission. The Jesuits are the largest male religious order in the Catholic Church. 
1612
The Hamburg Senate decides to officially allow Jews to live in Hamburg on the condition there is no public worship. The Jewish Community in Hamburg, began with the establishment of Sephardim from Spain, as they were expelled from their home country in 1492, they came through stopovers in Portugal, Amsterdam and Antwerp arriving around 1577. 
Hamburg, Germany, has a long and complex history with Jewish communities, marked by periods of both integration and persecution. Sephardic Jews first arrived in the 16th century, followed by Ashkenazi Jews in the 17th. Hamburg's Jewish community thrived, particularly in neighborhoods like Grindel, Harvestehude, and Eimsbüttel, becoming a significant part of the city's fabric. However, this history is also stained by the horrors of the Nazi era, including persecution, deportation, and ultimately, the destruction of the Jewish community.
Expulsion of the Jews from Frankfurt on 23 August 1614: "1380 persons old and young were counted at the exit of the gate"
1614
Vincent Fettmilch, who called himself the "new Haman of the Jews", leads a raid on the Frankfurt, Germany Jewish quarter that turned into an attack that destroyed the whole community.
1615
The Guild led by Dr. Chemnitz, "non-violently" forced the Jews from Worms.  Worms is a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, situated on the Upper Rhine about 60 km (40 mi) south-southwest of Frankfurt am Main.
Records show that Jews had resided in Worms from around 1000, and endowments enabled construction of the first synagogue as early as 1034. The community experienced its first golden age during the 11th century, attracting important clerics.  But the crusader pogroms of 1096 inflicted terrible damage. Together with the neighbouring communities in Speyer and Mainz, Worms was home to a particularly well-respected Jewish congregation (known by the term SchUM in these cities), which since the 12th/13th centuries had acquired special authority in legal and religious issues. The economic power of the Jews, who were especially active as merchants, contributed significantly to this standing. Another factor was the religious freedom they had been afforded by kings and emperors since the Salian dynasty, which included the right to settle their own internal affairs.
1616
Jesuits arrive in Grodno, Belarus and accuse the Jews of host desecration .
 It involves the mistreatment or malicious use of a consecrated host—the bread used in the Eucharistic service of the Divine Liturgy or Mass. and blood libel
an accusation that Jewish people used the blood of Christians in religious rituals, especially in the preparation of Passover bread, that was perpetrated throughout the Middle Ages and (sporadically) until the early 20th century.
1618
Anti-semitic pamphlet Mirror of the Polish Crown is published by professor Sebastian Miczyński. It accuses the Jews of murder, sacrileges, witchcraft, and urges their expulsion. It would go on to inspire anti-Jewish riots across Poland.
1619
Shah Abbas I of the Persian Sufi dynasty increases persecution against the Jews, forcing many to outwardly practice Islam. Many keep practicing Judaism in secret (Marranos).
1622
King Christian IV invites Jews to come and live in Denmark.  In 1622, King Christian IV of Denmark invited "Portuguese" Jews from Amsterdam and Hamburg to settle in Glückstadt, hoping to compete with Hamburg. This marked the beginning of Jewish settlement in Denmark. Denmark became the first Scandinavian country to allow Jews to settle on its territory.   Many accepted this invitation and began engaging in the Danish trading and manufacturing industries. Some Jews even worked closely with the royal family, often as personal financiers and jewelers for the Danish royals.
1624
Ghetto established in Ferrara, Italy.  This took place after the Venice Ghetto was established.  Ferrara’s Jewish presence is said to date back to the distant past. The community blossomed in the 15th and 16th centuries under the Dukes of Este who granted Jews a number of rights, despite limitations in the law and records of episodes of intolerance in the town. Thanks to the Este’s inclusive approach aimed at reviving their capital city, throughout their rule very important personalities of the Jewish world of the time passed through Ferrara. There were about two thousand Jews living in the city and ten prayer halls, often associated with private pawn shops. However, the situation changed when Duke Alfonso II died heirless in 1597 and Ferrara returned under the Church, given it was a papal feud. The Este Court retreated to Modena and many Jews followed them. In Ferrara Jews were progressively excluded from rights, and in 1624 the Ghetto was established in the heart of the medieval city, where the community had been living for years. 
1624
Christian theologian Antonio Homem is burned at the stake for pursuing Judaism.  Jewish martyr; born in 1564 of Neo-Christian parents at Coimbra, Portugal; suffered death at the stake in Lisbon May 5, 1624.  His father's name was Vaez Brandão; and his mother was a granddaughter of Nuñez Cardozo, called "the rich Jew of Aveiro." Like many secret Jews (Marranos) who, in order to escape from the snares and persecutions of the Inquisition, caused their sons to embrace a clerical career, the parents of Antonio had him educated for the Church. He entered a religious order and studied at the university of his native town. On Feb. 22, 1592, he took his degree as doctor and "magister," and after having served the Church in various offices he was appointed deacon and professor of canon law at Coimbra University. He aroused the suspicion of the Inquisition and had to appear before its tribunal (Feb. 1, 1611), but as the author of some theological works he was acquitted. His colleagues closely watched him, however; and in 1619 a secret synagogue was discovered in Lisbon in which Homem conducted the services and preached. On Dec. 18 of that year he was brought before the tribunal of the Inquisition and condemned to death; and five years later at an auto da fé at Lisbon he was burned alive. His house was demolished, and in its place was erected a pillar bearing the inscription "Præceptor infelix."
1625
Jews of Vienna forced to live in a ghetto in Leopoldstadt, the 2nd municipal district of Vienna  in Austria. Another example of History repeating when during the Holocaust, Vienna's Jewish population faced systematic deportation to ghettos and concentration camps in occupied Eastern Europe. Starting in 1941, mass deportations from Vienna began, with about 35,000 Jews being sent to ghettos like Minsk, Riga, and Lodz, and to ghettos in the Lublin region. Additionally, over 15,000 Viennese Jews were sent to Theresienstadt, and thousands were sent to concentration camps in Germany. By 1942, only about 7,000 Jews remained in Austria, mostly those married to non-Jews.  In Vienna: Leopoldstadt (district II) was the area allotted in 1622 to the Jews, who lived there until 1938. In this district is the famous 3,200-acre (1,295-hectare) Prater, formerly the hunting and riding preserve of the aristocracy.  
1628

King Ladislaus IV of Poland forbids antisemitic books and printings.
1632
Shortly after Miguel Rodriguez is discovered holding onto Jewish rites, an Auto-da-fé is held in the presence of the King and Queen. Miguel and his wife Isabel Alvarez, and 5 others are burned alive publicly.  In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries many persons bearing the surname Rodriguez were condemned by the Inquisition to death at the stake or to lifelong imprisonment on the ground that they were "Judaizantes" or secret confessors of Judaism (Marranos).
1632, 20 April
Jewish-convert and martyr Nicolas Antoine is burned at the stake for heresy. (c.1602 – April 20, 1632) was a French Protestant theologian and pastor who attempted to convert to Judaism, although he was never officially admitted to Judaism, due to fears by the Jewish community that persecutions would happen if it became known that he was an apostate of Christianity. He was advised instead to live the life of a crypto-Jew. He suffered martyrdom by being burned at the stake in Geneva on April 20, 1632.  
During the Spanish Inquisition beginning in 1478, the Jews of those countries were forced to convert to Catholicism. While many of the Sephardic Jews fled the countries, others—now identified as Crypto-Jews—were baptized Catholic and followed its practices while practicing Judaism in secret

1639
Jews of Łęczyca are accused of ritual murder after a young child is found dead in the woods.

The Ukrainian Cossacks led by Bohdan Chmielnicki massacre about 100,000 Jews and similar number of Polish nobles, 300 Jewish communities destroyed.
In Jewish history, the Uprising is known for the atrocities against the Jews who, in their capacity as leaseholders (arendators), were seen by the peasants as their immediate oppressors and became the subject of antisemitic violence. The Jews consider this event "the biggest national catastrophe since the destruction of Solomon's Temple."
1649
Largest Auto-da-fé in the New World. 109 victims, 13 were burned alive and 57 in effigy.
The largest known auto-da-fé (a public ceremony of penance and execution of condemned heretics) in the New World took place in Mexico City, on April 11, 1649. This event, held under the viceregal state of New Spain, involved the public execution of twelve individuals, some of whom were burned alive, and one, Tomás Treviño de Sobremontes, who was burned alive for refusing to renounce his Jewish faith, 
1655 (1290-1656)               
Oliver Cromwell readmits Jews to England.  The fact is that 
Jews were expelled from England by King Edward I in 1290. This banishment, known as the Edict of Expulsion, forced the Jewish population, estimated at around 3,000, to leave the country. They were not allowed to return for over 360 years, until 1656.  This means that Shakespeare never knew any Jews personally, only heard about
 them; 
Shakespeare wrote about Jews primarily in his play The Merchant of Venice, which is believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. Other plays where Jews are mentioned or discussed include Love's Labour's Lost, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and 1 Henry IV.
