- Title
The London Jews' Society and Patterns of Jewish Conversion in England, 1801--1859.
- Authors
Smith, Robert Michael
- Abstract
The article focuses on the relationship between Christian proselytization, Jewish conversion and the conditions of the Jews in England during 1801 to 1859. For this, three major groups have been considered namely the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews or The Society, the Ashkenazim and the Sephardim. Among these, the Sephardim were converted to Christianity because they were completely neglected by The Society. On February 15 1809, The Society was created. Its aim was to remove the temporal distress of the Jews and to encourage their spiritual welfare.
