English term or phrase: no longer that of his forebearers

Following Jewish custom, Joseph received his Brit Milah, or circumcision,
eight days later. The Hungarian Jewish community, into which
Joseph was welcomed, was no longer that of his forebearers. Support
for Orthodox Judaism was waning in Makó and in other towns that
fell into the cultural orbit of Pest. In these places, Jews such as the
Pulitzers were joining a reformist wing of Judaism known as Neolog.
It sought to abandon many of the strictures of Orthodoxy that clashed
with the growing desire among Hungarians Jews to assimilate. Neologs,
for instance, removed the mehitza—the lattice barriers hiding women
congregants—though women remained seated apart from the men; and
these reformists also brought the bimah (somewhat akin to a Christian
altar) from its traditional place in the center of the synagogue to the
front. Joseph’s Judaic life would be less isolated from Christian life than
that of young Jews growing up elsewhere in Europe.
