“…Throughout the centuries this pact remained the foundation of the self-regulation of the Jewish communities and therefore saved the Jews from whatever self-abasement can be associated with the word pariah. (Momigliano, 1980: 177)Furthermore, the depiction ‘pariah’ is not consistent with the level and type of continual interaction between Jewish and the majority societies.
