Institutionally, Jews were invested (sometimes paternalistically and hierarchically, granted) in the fates of Jews in other parts of the world *as Jews* and there are travelogues and educational/charitable networks that attest to this throughout the 17th-19th century. I teach abt some in my classes.
Yes. The only people who have difficulty understanding this are people who know nothing about the Jewish world.
