17世纪中叶后英国对犹太人的重新接纳

Jews' Re-entry into Britain after the Middle of the Seventeenth Century

13世纪末英国国王驱逐了境内所有的犹太人,此后三个多世纪犹太人在英国几乎销声匿迹。16世纪的宗教改革,使信奉新教的英国人中出现亲犹倾向;出于宗教原因和经济原因,人们开始考虑重新接纳犹太人问题。17世纪,克伦威尔出于政治原因而把接纳犹太人问题提上了日程,加上犹太人自身的努力,从17世纪中叶起,犹太人被允许重新进入英国,并成为促进英国政治、经济和社会发展的重要力量。

In 1290, the English king Edward I had driven all Jews out of the country, and there were hardly any JeWs in England from the 14th century to the 16th century. From the middle of the 17th century, Jews got re-entry into Britain. Many facts promoted the re- entry movement, including new religious ideas of English people after Reformation, the needs for economic development, the efforts made by Oliver Cromwell and the leaders of Jewish community. Then Jews have become an important force in political, economic and social development in Britain.
