The origins of Dutch Jewry trace back to diverse locations and ancestries: Marranos from Spain and Portugal and Ashkenazi refugees from Germany, Poland and Lithuania. In the new setting and with the passing of time and developments in Dutch society at large, the religious life of Dutch Jews took on new forms. Dutch Jewish society was thus a microcosm of essential changes in Jewish history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Acknowledgments List of Abbreviations List of Contributors    Part 1: Messianic Hopes and Redemption 1 The Phoenix, the Exodus and the Temple: Constructing Self-identity in the Sephardi Congregation of Amsterdam in the Early Modern Period  Limor Mintz-Manor 2 In the Land of Expectation: The Sense of Redemption among Amsterdam’s Portuguese Jews  Matt Goldish  Part 2: Aspects of Daily Religious Life 3 Religious Life among Portuguese Women in Amsterdam’s Golden Age  Tirtsah Levie Bernfeld 4 The Amsterdam Way of Death: R.
