At the end of World War II, millions of Jews found themselves uprooted—not only from their homes, families, and communities but also from their heritage and cultural origins. Over time, various strategies emerged to cope with these profound dislocations. In this lecture, I will focus on one such approach: the symbolic and practical "ban" on Europe as a whole. For several thinkers and halakhic authorities, the only way to address the catastrophic rupture was through a complete severance—a religious "get" (divorce document) of sorts. The methods by which these thinkers and authorities implemented this ban were diverse. Some sought to codify it as a halakhic ruling, prohibiting Jews from ever setting foot on European soil again. Others took the form of personal oaths or public declarations, cutting ties with the historical covenant they had once shared with their homeland. Still others, whether quietly or with great fanfare, announced that they no longer had any connection to the continent that had expelled them. This lecture will explore the motivations, implications, and variations of this response, shedding light on one of the most dramatic and symbolic reactions to the devastation of European Jewry.
