Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines the religious significance of rain in Tractate Ta'anit, a 6th century volume of the Babylonian Talmud that addresses fasts in response to drought among rabbinic Jewish communities in late antiquity. Through a close reading of several key narratives within the tractate, this article examines how Tractate Ta'anit incorporates rain symbolism into key rabbinic conceptions of Torah, revelation, and divine compassion. As the tractate crafts rain into a symbol that expresses God's presence and relationship with Israel, it also articulates drought as the essential express

Abstract:
AbstractAccording to the mainstream narrative about race, all groups have the same innate dispositions and potential, and all disparities—at least those favoring whites—are due to past or present racism. Some people who reject this narrative gravitate toward an alternative, anti-Jewish narrative, which sees recent history in terms of a Jewish/gentile conflict. The most sophisticated promoter of the anti-Jewish narrative is the evolutionary psychologist Kevin MacDonald. MacDonald argues that Jews have a suite of genetic adaptations—including high intelligence and ethnocentrism—and cultural prac

Abstract:
The Jews in Western Europe during the middle ages were often perceived as distinct from other people not only in their religion, but also by virtue of peculiar physical characteristics. Male Jews were circumcised, which made them physically distinct in the sexual realm. They were believed to have a flux of blood due to hemorrhoids that was thought to more abound in Jews because they consumed salty foods and gross undigested blood, and were melancholic. By the late medieval and early modern periods, the male menstru¬ation motif had become closely connected to the theory of the four humors and t

Abstract:
The conscription of Jews in the Russian Empire in the mid-19th century occurred, on one hand, against the backdrop of a general reorganization of the conscription system in the Empire, and on the other hand, amid the systematic evasion of military duty by Jews, who perceived conscription as a personal tragedy. Obviously, the 25-year military service posed a mortal danger not only for Jewish subjects of Nicholas I, but for Jews in particular it represented a real threat of losing their national identity, being placed in a foreign environment, and suffering systematic oppression and humiliation

In this paper I examine the economic and political factors that undermined the social class structure in an ethnic community—the Jews of Russia and eastern Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. Compared with the documented rise and articulation of working classes in non-Jewish society in that region, Jews were caught in an opposite process, largely owing to discriminatory state policies and social pressures: Among Jews, artisans and petty merchants were increasingly reduced to a single, caste-like status. A Jewish middle class of significant size did not emerge from the petty trade sect

On 27 February 1943 in Nazi Germany the Gestapo brutally arrested more than ten thousand Jewish men and women. Martin Riesenburger, later the Chief Rabbi of the German Democratic Republic, recalled that day as “the great inferno.” This large-scale raid marked the beginning of the final phase of the mass deportations, which had been under way since October 1941. Also interned in Berlin were people who, according to NS terminology, lived in so-called mixed marriages. But new documents show that no deportation of this special group was planned by the Gestapo.

AbstractThis concept is rooted in the antisemitic imaginary of a—at least partial—Jewish guilt in the preparation and execution of the Holocaust. This stereotype, like many others, decontextualises and distorts historical facts in order to either exonerate the real perpetrators of the Holocaust—the German Nazi state and its actual collaborators—and ascribe it to the victims of this regime, or to relativise German guilt by insisting on the complicity of the victims and the perpetrators.

The strategies of the first field pursue the purposes of rejecting the guilt and whitewashing antisemitism or Nazism and serve as a basis for antisemitic attacks on Jews.

This chapter examines the Karaite synagogue poets. The Karaites, a Jewish sect originating in the first half of the eighth century, are distinctive mainly because of their refusal to accept the authority of the talmudic-rabbinic tradition. Although the Karaites were at odds with their Rabbanite brethren in matters relating to Jewish law, they readily adopted the latters’ models in hymnography. The Karaite liturgy, which in the early years of the sect consisted of recitation from the Psalms and other scriptural readings, soon developed into rich and varied genres for fasts and feasts.

Abstract:
Abstract Calendars are resistant to change. The kings of Egypt had to swear before they took office that they would not change the calendar; any change in the Jewish calendar requires a meeting of the Great Sanhedrim; the reform of the Christian calendar in 1582 required a papal bull. One possible reason for this apparent sanctity is that calendars are religious objects; they define the times of rites and fasts and festivals. Where there is a calendar there is a religion more often than not; where there is a religion, there is a calendar.
