Neolog Judaism
Neologs ( hu, neológ irányzat, "Neolog faction") are one of the two large communal organizations among Hungarian Jews, Hungarian Jewry. Socially, the liberal and modernist Neologs had been more inclined toward integration into Hungarian society since the Jewish emancipation, Era of Emancipation in the 19th century. This was their main feature, and they were largely the representative body of urban, assimilated middle- and upper-class Jews. Religiously, the Neolog rabbinate was influenced primarily by Zecharias Frankel's Positive-Historical School, from which Conservative Judaism evolved as well, although the formal rabbinical leadership had little sway over the largely assimilationist communal establishment and congregants. Their rift with the traditionalist and conservative Orthodox Judaism, Orthodox Jews was Schism in Hungarian Jewry, institutionalized following the 1868–1869 Hungarian Jewish Congress, and they became a ''de facto'' separate Jewish denominations, denomination ...

Jewish Theological Seminary Of Breslau
The Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau (official name: ) was an institution in Breslau for the training of rabbis, founded under the will of Jonah Fränckel, and opened in 1854. The seminary, at what is now an empty building plot (used as a car park) in 14-18 Wlodkowica Street, was closed in 1938 by Nazi Party officials after the Kristallnacht. Commercial Councilor ("Kommerzienrath") Jonas Fränckel, a descendant of a rabbinic family, and a very wealthy bachelor, who devoted his entire fortune to philanthropic and educational purposes, left a bequest for the establishment of a training-school for rabbis and Jewish teachers. Fränckel was president of the Breslau congregation, and an enthusiastic supporter of Abraham Geiger, who had no doubt inspired the bequest; and it was probably the founder's intention that Geiger should be the president of the institution (Abraham Geiger, "Leben in Briefen", p. 129, Berlin, 1878). The executors of the Fränckel legacy felt, however, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Die Teilung in Ungarn'', "The Division in Hungary") was the institutional division of the History of the Jews in Hungary, Jewish community in the Kingdom of Hungary between 1869 and 1871, following a failed attempt to establish a national, united representative organization. The founding congress of the new body was held during an ongoing conflict between the traditionalist Orthodox Judaism, Orthodox party and its modernist Neolog Judaism, Neolog rivals, which had been raging for decades. The traditionalists, fearing their opponents would dominate the new body, seceded and then lobbied the government to allow the formation of an independent Orthodox supracommunal organization with a policy of strict separation from the Neologs. When faced with the need to choose between the two, a third faction of "Status Quo" congregati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dina D'Malkhutah Dina
Dina d'malkhuta dina (alternative spelling: dina de-malkhuta dina) ( arc, דִּינָא דְּמַלְכוּתָא דִּינָא, translation=the law of the Government n civil casesis law, or "the law of the land is the law") is a principle in Jewish religious law that the civil law of the country is binding upon the Jewish inhabitants of that country, and, in certain cases, is to be preferred to Jewish law. The concept of ''dina de-malkhuta dina'' is similar to the concept of conflict of laws in other legal systems. It appears in at least twenty-five places in the ''Shulchan Arukh''. The principle of ''dina d'malkhuta dina'' means that for Jews, obedience to the civil law of the country in which they live is viewed as a religiously mandated obligation and disobedience is a transgression, according to Jewish law. This general principle is subject, however, to the qualifications that the government enacting the law must be one which is recognized by Jewish law as having legit ...
