Part 2: Age of Revolutions and Emancipation (1763-1835) Takeaways

While some Jews gained civil rights and freedom, others found their lives continued to be limited by racism, antisemitism, and sexism.
Racism, politics, and Sephardic culture impacted how Jews experienced the Enlightenment across the Americas and made their trajectory more similar to that of Jews in England and the Netherlands than in Eastern Europe.
Jewish emancipation often pitted members of Jewish communities against one another.
The community synagogue began to be replaced by a community of synagogues, some of which used an Ashkenazi liturgy.
Women began to take a more public role in Jewish economic life.
