The Jews In France: From Exile to Emancipation
An Illustrated presentation by Renée Morel
Thursday May 29th @ 7pm
Continuing from her previous lecture at
the Jewish Community Library on Jews
in the Kingdom of France, Renée Morel
will give a richly illustrated presentation
on the complex history of the Jews in
France as the country slowly evolved
into a modern state.
Morel will trace the precarious position of Jews from their expulsion from French soil in the 14th century through their gradual reabsorption, generally for economic reasons. She will discuss the debate over Jewish emancipation at the
time of the French Revolution, leading to the granting of civil rights and, for the first time, full citizenship for French Jews.
Renée Morel, born in French Indochina, grew up in Paris near the historical Jewish Marais district. She currently teaches French and linguistics at City College of San Francisco, and regularly lectures on art, aesthetics, history, literature, and semiotics. wwww.jewishcommunitylibrary.org
