Viewed in the context of port city revival, the author explores how and why the Jewish community changed during this time in its social cohesion, organizational structure, and ideological affiliations. Tomer Levi defines the Jewish community as a Levantine creation of late-nineteenth-century port city revival, characterized by cultural and social diversity, centralized administration, efficient organization, and a merchant class engaged in commerce and philanthropy. In addition, the author shows how the position of the Jewish community in the unique multi-community structure of Lebanese society affected internal developments within the Jewish community.","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039543034199,"sku":"9781433117091","price":63.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781433117091.jpg?v=1750944023","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-jews-of-beirut-9781433117091","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
