Numbering 25,000 by the turn of the twentieth century, Sephardi Jews had enjoyed a continuous presence in Ottoman Izmir for over four hundred years. Unlike other Sephardi communities of the eastern Mediterranean such as those of Istanbul and Salonica, the Jewish community of Izmir was established not in the direct wake of the Expulsion, but a full century later, as new generations of Ottoman Sephardi Jews migrated to the rapidly developing port city to participate in its economic growth. Izmir quickly emerged as a major center of Jewish life, and saw the development of numerous Jewish neighborhoods, schools, and synagogues, active Hebrew and Ladino printing presses, multiple rabbinic dynasties, and an extensive network of charitable associations. Despite its longevity and vibrancy, the Jewish community of late Ottoman Izmir has fallen prey to historiographical preoccupations that have placed it on the margins of both Ottoman and Jewish narratives. Its lackluster socioeconomic profile during the modern period has rendered it of tangential importance in studies on Izmir's ever-expanding commercial prowess during the 19th century. Up until very recently, the Jewish community of Izmir suffered the same neglect as the entire eastern Sephardi diaspora during modern times, as ideologically-driven narratives dismissed this collectivity as a footnote to the "glory" of medieval Sepharad. Izmir's role as the birthplace of Sabbatianism has only exacerbated its presumed marginality in ideological approaches that have charted the inexorable "decline" of the eastern Sephardi world after the early modern age. Despite what the silences in the current literature suggest, this study argues that the case of the Jewish community of Izmir is not only significant, but is of profound relevance in illuminating the complexities of modernity both within the Sephardi context as well as in the wider Jewish world. Drawing on a broad array of primary sources, among them previously unexplored Ladino archival material, it highlights how forces specific to late Ottoman Izmir, such as a rapidly changing urban landscape, pronounced westernization, and a continuous affirmation of communal autonomy, shaped how the city's Jewish community reinvented itself according to the perceived demands of the modern era. Focusing in depth on both social transformations, such as the emergence of new constructions of poverty, charity, and class, as well as transformations in communal self-government, such as the reconfiguration of structures of leadership and taxation, this dissertation seeks to highlight social and economic factors as agents of modern change. More broadly, through its exploration of uninterrupted Ottoman legitimation of Jewish particularism, this study aims to nuance prevailing approaches that interpret the modern Jewish experience largely through the framework of the tension between the "universal" and the "particular." As such, it argues that the case of Izmir is reflective of a distinctive Sephardi encounter with modernity, one primarily molded not by the "Jewish Question, " but rather the "Eastern Question."

“Opens new windows onto the changing socioeconomic realities and values of Jews in a major port city of the late Ottoman Empire. . . . [A] fascinating study.” —Julia Phillips Cohen, Vanderbilt University By the turn of the twentieth century, the eastern Mediterranean port city of Izmir had been home to a vibrant and substantial Sephardi Jewish community for over four hundred years. The Jews of Ottoman Izmir tells the story of this long overlooked Jewish community, drawing on previously untapped Ladino archival material. Across Europe, Jews were often confronted with the notion that their religious and cultural distinctiveness was somehow incompatible with the modern age. Yet the view from Ottoman Izmir invites a different approach: what happens when Jewish difference is totally unremarkable? Dina Danon argues that while Jewish religious and cultural distinctiveness might have remained unquestioned in this late Ottoman port city, other elements of Jewish identity emerged as profound sites of tension. Through voices as varied as beggars and mercantile elites, journalists, rabbis and housewives, Danon demonstrates that it was new attitudes to poverty and class, not Judaism, that most significantly framed this Sephardi community’s encounter with the modern age. “This monograph will be regarded as the central work on the Jews of Izmir in the last Ottoman century.” —Tamir Karkason, Middle East Journal “A major contribution to the study of a Jewish community in general, and an Ottoman one in particular.” —Rachel Simon, Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews “Eloquently written and expertly researched.” —Eyal Ginio, The American Historical Review “An important landmark.” —Jacob Barnai, Association for Jewish Studies Review “This work should be treasured. . . . a well-wrought and at times elegant addition to the Judaic Studies.” —Jeffrey Kahrs, Tikkun

Jewish society in the Ottoman Empire has not been the subject of systematic research. The seventeenth century is the main object of this study, since it was a formative era. For Ottoman Jews, the 'Ottoman century' constituted an era of gradual acculturation to changing reality, parallel to the changing character of the Ottoman state. Continuous changes and developments shaped anew the character of this Jewry, the core of what would later become known as 'Sephardi Jewry'.Yaron Ben-Naeh draws from primary and secondary Hebrew, Ottoman, and European sources, the image of Jewish society in the Ottoman Empire. In the chapters he leads the reader from the overall urban framework to individual aspects. Beginning with the physical environment, he moves on to discuss their relationships with the majority society, followed by a description and analysis of the congregation, its organization and structure, and from there to the character of Ottoman Jewish society and its nuclear cell - the family. Special emphasis is placed throughout the work on the interaction with Muslim society and the resulting acculturation that affected all aspects and all levels of Jewish life in the Empire. In this, the author challenges the widespread view that sees this community as being stagnant and self-segregated, as well as the accepted concept of a traditional Jewish society under Islam.
