ההשכלה
"הנאורות" היהודית, או "ההשכלה", היתה תנועה אידאולוגית-חברתית שראשיתה במאה השמונה עשרה בגרמניה, המשכה במזרח אירופה, שם הגיעה לשיאה במחצית השניה של המאה תשע־עשרה, ואחריתה במיפנה המאות התשע־עשרה והעשרים. המשכילים ביקשו, איש־איש בדרכו, לעצב ברוח העת ועל יסוד מורשת העבר היהודית ארוכת השנים, טיפוס חדש של בן החברה המסורתית אותו כינו "יהודי ואדם". מבין המשכילים המרכזיים והידועים ניתן למנות את הפילוסוף הברלינאי משה מנדלסון, גיבורה התרבותי של ההשכלה, ואת יצחק אייכל מכוננה, כמו גם את יצחק בר לווינזון (ריב"ל) מראשוני המשכילים ברוסיה, את הפילוסוף וההיסטוריון נחמן קרוכמאל (רנ"ק) מגליציה, את שמואל דוד לוצאטו (שד"ל) מאיטליה, את המשורר יהודה לייב גורדון (יל"ג), ועוד רבים אחרים.

Translation of the text on the sign:

Haskalah
The Jewish "Enlightenment", or "Haskalah", was an ideological-social movement that began in the eighteenth century in Germany, continued in Eastern Europe, where it reached its peak in the second half of the nineteenth century, followed by the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The educated sought, one by one in his own way, to shape in the spirit of the times and on the basis of the long-standing legacy of the Jewish past, a new type of member of traditional society whom they called "a Jew and a man." Among the main and well-known intellectuals, we can name the Berlin philosopher Moshe Mendelssohn, a cultural hero of the Enlightenment, and Isaac Euchel its founder, as well as Isaac Baer Levinsohn (Ribal), one of the first of the educated in Russia, the philosopher and historian Nachman Krochmal (Rשמשל) from Galicia, the Samuel David Luzzatto (Shadal) from Italy, the poet Judah Leib Gordon (Yalag), and many others.
