Abstract
Hungarian Jewry has a reputation for being the most polarized of Jewries. In the popular imagination, a chasm yawned between rabid assimilationists on the one side and equally extreme ultra-Orthodox on the other. This study seeks to throw new light on this polarization. It will be based on a quantitative analysis of voting patterns at the Congress as well as a unique set of statistics that presents data on the relative strength of the various Jewish religious nationwide organizations at the turn of the century.
