Summary "The Jews in Great Britain" by Moses Margoliouth is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work comprises a series of six lectures that delve into the antiquities and history of Jewish presence in England, particularly up until the year 1290, when Jews were expelled from the country by Edward I. Margoliouth explores various aspects of Jewish life, including their literary, religious, political, and civil standing throughout different historical periods, shedding light on a topic that has historically been overlooked. The opening of the text introduces the author's personal reflections on his own journey to England and the language barrier he faced, emphasizing the significance of Jewish history in the broader context of human history. Margoliouth articulates a profound interest in the Jewish people's rich heritage, asserting that their history is deeply interconnected with the past, present, and future of mankind. He lays the groundwork for his lectures by addressing the challenges historians face due to a lack of written records from the Jews themselves, arguing that persecution and socio-political circumstances have led to a deficient historical record of their early days in Britain, but hinting at the depth and richness of Jewish contributions to English society.
