Abstract
In my research I examined Orthodox Jewish community values and the responses given to modernity in the Hungarian-language Budapest Orthodox weekly papers between 1925 and 1944. These are the responses of a journalism elite of an urbanising religious community to the trends towards individualisation as well as to changing attitudes towards the past and community traditions. The press is both an instrument and a mechanism of the changes of modernity. Modernity brought unprecedented new challenges and the communities were constantly forced to respond. The Hungarian-language Orthodox papers formulated these responses in the mirror of the chain of tradition. The papers had differing func-tions, they adapted to the given social circumstances and were influenced by the political and economic changes. The papers themselves also adapted to the modernity for the discussion of which they provided a forum.The jüdisch-deutsch Allgemeine Jüdische Zeitung became an Orthodox daily outside the Central Office. This publication was banned during the 1919 Republic of Soviets and its relaunching was prevented by the loss of its reading public following the Trianon peace dictate. Switching its language to Hungarian, it was launched again as Zsidó Újság / Orthodox Zsidó Újság [Jewish Paper / Orthodox Jewish Paper] after the economic and political consolidation in 1925 and existed until the German occupation.The questions of modernity were formulated at different levels of life and, de-pending on the social context, resulted in different religious responses aspiring to traditionalism. In the new social and political environment of the interwar years, saving the Talmudic schools became identified with the cause of saving the Jews. On the one hand this meant passing on the Torah to the next generation in a chain that should not be broken even in situations of crisis, and on the other hand the pressure on the Jews was regarded as God’s punishment for departure from the path of Orthodoxy that could only be corrected by repentance, greater religious devotion and withdrawal into the frames of the religious community. The press called for the return of all Jews within the protective barriers of Orthodoxy.
