Know about the book -

The Making of Western Jewry, 1600-1819 is written by L. Kochan and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0230800025 (ISBN 10) and 9780230800021 (ISBN 13).

In a broad sweep from Central Europe to Ireland and from the Sixteenth to the early Nineteenth-century, this work puts the Jewish community and its rabbinic and 'lay' leaders at the centre of Jewish history. Of surpassing value is Kochan's treatment of the community not only as a religious but also as a political unit.
