In the early seventeenth century, the Jews formally established two separate
communities in Amsterdam, the Portuguese Sephardi and the High German Ashkenazi
congregations. Until the end of the eighteenth century, medical care for the
Amsterdam indigent Jews had been controlled and regulated by the powerful
Parnasim, the de facto rulers, of each community. The primary communal
organizations that were exclusively responsible for medical care for the poor
were the Bikur Holim societies. This approach for the care of the indigent Jewish
sick became ineffective in the nineteenth century and was replaced by a
hospital-based system. This essay describes how seriously ill indigent Jews in
nineteenth-century Amsterdam received hospital care, tracing the establishment
and development of the first Ashkenazi and Sephardi hospitals in the city.
Although each community established their own hospital, they used different
approaches to accomplish this goal.
