Summary: "The Haskalah Movement in Russia" by Jacob S. Raisin is a historical account that was written during the early 20th century. The book explores the Haskalah movement, or Jewish Enlightenment, that emerged in Russia during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, detailing its impact on the Jewish community's cultural, educational, and social spheres. Raisin aims to trace the evolution of this movement, highlighting various influential figures and their diverse ideals and aspirations. The opening of the work delves into the historical context preceding the Haskalah movement, exploring the conditions and experiences of the Russo-Polish Jews prior to 1648. Raisin discusses the cultural life and social structure of these communities, emphasizing their pursuit of education amidst oppression and adversity.
