In the 19th century, German Jewry went through a sweeping process of modernisation, during the course of which two central pillars of Jewish tradition were taken and redefined: the law and exegesis, Halacha and Aggadah. Both were rendered fertile soil for the scientific, literary and emancipatory goals of the modern age. Johannes Sabel sets out to trace these developments.
