Napoleon's Jewish Revolution How One Emperor Changed Everything
Napoleon Bonaparte, known for his conquests, also had a major impact on Jewish communities. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, he introduced reforms that changed Jewish life. In 1807, he convened the Sanhedrin to explore how Jewish law could align with state law. His policies were a double-edged sword—granting Jews new freedoms but pressuring them to assimilate. Some saw him as a liberator, while others found his reshaping of Jewish identity controversial. Napoleon’s legacy in Jewish history is complex, blending power, culture, and religion.
