Unreferenced date February 2009 Afrikaner Jews or Boere Jode as they are sometimes known, are an off shoot of Afrikaner dom and Judaism . At the beginning of the 19th century, when greater freedom of religious practice was introduced in South Africa , small numbers of Ashkenazi Jews arrived from United Kingdom Britain and Germany . They established the first Ashkenazi Hebrew congregation in 1841. Between the end of the 19th century and 1930, large numbers of Jews began to arrive from Lithuania and Latvia . Their culture and contribution changed the character of the South African community. According to the South African Jewish Museum, Many of the later immigrants arrived with no resources other than their wits and experience. Most could not speak English when they arrived. Often they would learn Afrikaans before English. Their households were often multi lingual, with parents speaking Yiddish and Afrikaans , and the children learning English language English at school. Yiddish impact on Afrikaans Many Yiddish words have entered the Afrikaans language as Yiddish speaking South African Jews assimilated into the community, and the languages cross pollinated each other. Gradually over time the influence of Yiddish dwindled as Jews emigrated. The University of Cape Town Jewish Studies library has a comprehensive collection of South African Yiddish books. Its collection of Yiddish periodicals is, however, not as comprehensive. Famous Afrikaner Jews Olga Kirsch was a noted Afrikaans author and poet. Rabbi M. Romm translated and published the Siddur Hebrew prayer book into Afrikaans , which was widely distributed.

According to these texts, the Red Jews were an Epoch reference date epoch al threat to Christendom , and would invade Europe during the Christian eschatology tribulations leading to the end of the world. Andrew Colin Gow studied the original German language texts and concluded that the legend of the Red Jews was a conflation of three separate traditions the Bible Biblical prophet ic references to Gog and Magog , the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, and an episode from the Alexander Romance , in which Alexander the Great encloses a race of heathens Gates of Alexander behind a great wall in Caucasus.

Many pamphlets circulated interpreting such events as the rise of Ottoman Empire Turkish power in the context of the legendary Red Jews.

The Jews Tragedy is an early Literature in English Caroline and Cromwellian literature Caroline era stage play by William Heminges . ref Carol A. Morley, ed., The Plays and Poems of William Heminge , Madison, NJ, Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2006. ref Written in 1626 in literature 1626 but apparently never acted in its own era, the drama was the most intensive and detailed attempt to portray Jews onstage in English Renaissance theatre . Earlier plays &mdash The Three Ladies of London , The Jew of Malta , The Merchant of Venice and others &mdash had depicted Jews with varying degrees of antipathy or sympathy, though they featured a single Jewish character, or a few at most. No dramatist before Heminges attempted to present a full cast of Jewish characters or to depict Jewish society. The prevailing anti Semitism in England at the time makes it unsurprising that the work was not staged &mdash and somewhat surprising that it was ever written. Though never produced before an audience, Heminges s drama was published in 1662 in literature 1662 , under the title The Jewes Tragedy, or their fatal and final overthrow by Vespasian and Titus his son, agreeable to the authentick and famous History of Josephus . Like Heminges s other surviving play The Fatal Contract , The Jews Tragedy was heavily influenced by the works of William Shakespeare Shakespeare .
