Haskalah
Haskalah (Hebrew: השכלה; ""enlightenment"" or ""education"" from sekhel ""intellect"", ""mind""), the Jewish Enlightenment, was a movement among European Jews in the 18th–19th centuries that advocated adopting enlightenment values, pressing for integration into European society, and increasing education in secular studies, Hebrew language, and Jewish history. Haskalah in this sense marked the beginning of the wider engagement of European Jews with the secular world, ultimately resulting in the first Jewish political movements and the struggle for Jewish emancipation. Proponents of the movement were called Maskilim (Hebrew: משכילים, in contemporary Hebrew meaning roughly ""philosophers"" and later ""enlightened"").Haskalah differed from Deism of the European Enlightenment by seeking modernised philosophical and critical revision within Jewish belief, and lifestyle acceptable for emancipation rights.
