Abstract:

Abstract Viticulture in Late Antiquity was a widespread, economically vital, and regionally diverse form of horticulture in the Mediterranean world, and archaeological and textual sources such as rabbinical literature shed light on viticulture, particularly in Palestine. Vineyard cultivation was shaped by local geography, climate, and religious norms, with techniques ranging from dryland farming to terracing, and from small plots to industrial-scale wine production. Rabbinical texts highlight Jewish legal and theological concerns—such as prohibitions on mixed planting and non-kosher wine—yet a

Abstract:

Abstract: Classical rabbinic literature is intensely material, as it invokes numerous objects on seemingly every page. Through the earliest rabbinic discussions on kindling Sabbath lights (M. Shabbat 2), this paper explores new pathways into rabbinic materiality or "talmudic archaeology." Whereas texts can promote a narrow focus on unique or exceptional objects, I argue that they could also provide a promontory to help us see more typical and widely used artifacts, which nets a broader understanding of the material culture that was more likely to be known by most people in Roman Galilee, inclu

This article undertakes a comprehensive study of the place of the terebinth (Pistacia palaestina) and the Pistacia atlantica (P. terebinthus) in both the cultivated and uncultivated landscapes of ancient Israel.

Due to the fact that according to Chazal this is a profession with lofty, particular, universal, and includes hysterical consequences and meaning, not just to preserve the nation’s culture and pass on its beliefs to future generations, but also t

Abstract:

Abstract Gravestones with Hebrew inscriptions are the most common class of Jewish monuments still present in such regions as Ukraine or Belarus. Epitaphs are related to various Biblical, Rabbinical, and liturgical texts. Despite that, the genre of Hebrew epitaphs seldom becomes an object of cultural or literary studies. In this paper, I show that a function of Hebrew epitaphs is to connect the ideal world of Hebrew sacred texts to the world of everyday life of a Jewish community. This is achieved at several levels. First, the necessary elements of an epitaph – name, date, and location marker –

AbstractI argue that “sampling” is at the heart of rabbinical hermeneutics. I argue further that anomalous monism—and specifically its arguments about token identity, of which sampling is one species—provides some insight into understanding the nature of rabbinical hermeneutics and religion, where truth is contingent on social judgment but is nevertheless objective. These points are illustrated through a close reading of the story of the oven of Aknai in the Bavli’s Baba Metzia.

Previously, communities were not subject to this ‘dynastic imposition.’” Under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, in the seventeenth century, there are attestations of the rabbinical office beco

The aim of this article is to put forward some basic impulses of Hebrew pedagogy that may be inspirational even today for both teachers and pupils.

Abstract:

Rabbinical literature has an ambivalent attitude toward work. Some see work as a religious value: “Great is labor, as just as Israel were commanded to keep the Sabbath, thus they were commanded to perform labor, as it is said: ‘Six days you shall labor and do all your work’”. However, others see work as a mere existential need. The current article seeks to comprehend the attitude of R. Moses ben Maimon, also known as Maimonides (1138–1204, Spain–Egypt), to the corporeal, the physical, and work.

They give a pseudo-historical basis to well known and loved features of the service, like the haftarah, thereby missing a straightforward Talmudic source. Furthermore, they seem to be in dialog with other medieval texts that speak about martyrdom as a reaction to repression.

Abstract From ancient times until the nineteenth century, a commonly held belief in various cultures was that some reptiles, small mammals, and even birds, adhere to sheep and cattle and suck milk from the females. In Jewish sources, this view is first mentioned in medieval commentaries on the Bible and Talmudic literature, where the practice is attributed to several animals: leeches, hedgehogs, snakes, bats, and vermin in general. Records of the milk-sucking theory in rabbinical writings show that it spread to European countries and throughout the East, for example, in northern France, Proven

Abstract In the last decades, the study of the body in different religions, including the Jewish tradition, gave rise to a great number of publications. Most of the articles are based on rabbinical sources in Hebrew or Aramaic. But we find fewer publications on the representation of the body in Jewish popular culture. The Old Yiddish literature provides many books which could help us to analyse the image of the body, as reflected in different types of texts, all of them show the growing importance of the body during the early modern period.

Abstract Despite Church prohibitions, almost twenty medieval Bibles in Spanish survive. The Old Testament versions derived in many cases from translations from Hebrew made by Jews. These were characterized by a unique rabbinical “calque-language” that would be preserved by Sephardim for centuries after the Expulsion in 1492; but the Inquisition destroyed the medieval Jewish copies. This article studies a new witness, the oldest known: a thirteenth-century Hebrew commentary on the Hagiographa with Spanish glosses. These fully confirm the amazing continuity of the Ladino scriptolect.

That development and the rabbis' concomitant, albeit limited, acceptance of media credibility gradually became significant factors in rabbinical rulings, but for most rabbis

Abstract:

Gershon Hundert, one of the leading scholars of Eastern European Jewry, has portrayed Hasidism as “one of many movements of religious enthusiasm that arose in the eighteenth century.” Though most scholars today agree with this description, they diverge regarding the goals of the movement, the causes of its emergence and spread, and its impact on Eastern European Jewry. Simon Dubnow, the father-founder of modern Eastern European Jewish historiography, considered Hasidism to be a response to the seventeenth-century communal crisis. He portrayed Hasidism as a spiritual movement of ordinary Jews w

Abstract:

This article explores the Kabbalistic framework enhancing the sanctity of guarding the eyes ( shemirat ha-eynayim ), a key theme in early modern moralistic literature, particularly in Reshit Hokhmah . De Vidas cautions against severe consequences for transgressors and the personal impairments linked to forbidden gazing, while also promoting the ideal of the prophetic holy gaze at the divine chariot and preparation for the eternal gaze at the divine objects of paradise. He integrates the quasi-scientific extramission theory of visual perception into his theurgical framework, creating a concept

Abstract:

A sugya just a few lines long in the Babylonian Talmud, Gittin 88b, had enormous influence on the development of Jewish law in the area of the authority to pass judgment given to rabbinical courts in our day. According to the simple, commonly accepted understanding of this sugya, the Tannaim ruled that the Torah forbade men who had not received ordination to act as judges, and as a result, the judges in Babylonia were permitted to adjudicate, of necessity, only as agents of the judges of Palestine (שליחותייהו קא עבדינן, we act as their agents). The article reexamines these positions. The first

Abstract:

To gauge the breadth of the topic, it should be said at the outset that music occupied a central place in the thought of Leon Modena and that Modena was not just another rabbi in early seventeenth-century Venice, but, among Italian Jews, perhaps the most remarkable figure of his generation. His authority as a spokesman for his people rests on his vast learning, amassed from a multitude of sources, ancient, modern, Jewish, and Christian. He put his knowledge to use in an impressive series of over forty writings. They comprise often-encyclopedic disquisitions on subjects as diverse as Hebrew lan

Abstract:

AbstractResearchers of Jewish History dealing with the topic of women’s character and status in Medieval Jewish texts drew their information mainly from Rabbinical Responsa and tended to neglect other types of literature: sermons and Biblical commentaries. Responsa were a primary source for two reasons—convenience and availability of the material. However, this type of literature was written out of necessity and dealt with the problematic situations in a woman’s life, whether with regard to her private life (as for instance in matters of marriage or divorce), her financial situation or other d

Most research has a preliminary story embedded in earlier writings, which raise questions and spawn new inquiries conducive to new findings. The present study was born of other circumstances: I was asked by the directors of the early music group Ensemble Lucidarium if, for purposes of performance, I knew of a translation of Samuel Archivolti's Hebrew wedding ode “Keḥi kinnor” (Take a lyre). I had run across the ode in various listings, but was unfamiliar with any translation, so I suggested doing my own. That is where the problems began.

Abstract:

AbstractThis essay deals with a little noticed aspect of the Torah scroll in Jewish life and practice—namely, the usage of the scroll and its accessories in the context of sympathetic magic. The Torah is undoubtedly the holiest text in the Jewish tradition, and early on rabbinical authorities set a code that determined the fitting rules of conduct towards the scroll upon which it is written. In the course of time, the Torah scroll and the appurtenances associated with it emerged as the most sacred tangible objects in Jewish tradition and folk culture.

Abstract:

This article has a double focus. First, it sheds new light on David Zvi Hoffmann (1843–1931), an important rabbinic scholar, born in the Austrian Empire but who eventually moved westwards to become, at the turn of the century, the rector of the Orthodox Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin and an important halakhic decisor. Taking up the topic of interfaith encounters in nineteenth-century Germany, I demonstrate that Hoffmann held a nuanced and unique perception of Christian–Jewish encounters. The article also offers methodological insights on the analytical tools used in historical and philosophical

Abstract:

AbstractThe most important Jewish source for Hermann Cohen’s rational theology of Judaism is Maimonides’ Guide of the Perplexed. Indeed, the Guide is of such importance that Cohen bases his entire idealistic interpretation of the Jewish religion on it. In particular, Cohen derives his discussion of the continued authority of Mosaic law from the Guide. What follows focuses on Cohen’s discussion of the “Law” in his Religion of Reason out of the Sources of Judaism, and attempts to fill a gap in recent Cohen research by dealing with questions of halakhah and the interpretation of rabbinical source
