Abstract

This article analyses Russian imperial intervention into Jewish ritual in the late imperial period alongside the rise of a Jewish bureaucracy, imperial legal centralization and expanded state claims in the realms of public order, safety and morality. It explores contestations around Jewish religious rituals, like the new moon blessing, in the context of imperial attempts to define and even ‘correct’ native religion and decide what counts as protected religious behaviour.
