An 1806 French print depicts Napoleon Bonaparte emancipating the Jews Jewish emancipation was the external and internal process in various nations in Europe of eliminating disabilities under which Jewish people were then subject, and the recognition of Jews as entitled to equality and citizenship rights on a communal not merely individual basis. It included efforts within the community to integrate in their societies as citizens. It occurred gradually between the late 18th century and the early 20th century. Jewish emancipation followed the Age of Enlightenment and the concurrent Jewish enlightenment . Various nations repealed or superseded previous discriminatory laws applied specifically against Jews where they resided. Before the emancipation , most Jews were isolated in residential areas from the rest of the society; emancipation was a major goal of European Jews of that time, who worked within their communities to achieve integration in the majority societies and broader education. Many became active politically and culturally within wider European civil society as Jews gained full citizenship. They emigrated to countries offering better social and economic opportunities, such as the Russian Empire and France . Some European Jews turned to Socialism , others to jewish nationalism: Zionism .
