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

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.

The facts alone cannot explain why the Paris attacks triggered this question. There is, in the first place, a larger empirical context.

Ershte Yudishe Shakh-Tsaytung and Ershte Yudishe Sport-Tsaytung: The First Yiddish Sports Magazines Published in Łódź and Their Contents The main purpose of the article is to broaden the state of knowledge about Yiddish press published in Łódź. The author focuses on two periodicals dedicated to sport: Ershte Yudishe Shakh-Tsaytung and Ershte Yudishe Sport- Tsaytung that were issued in 1913 and 1914. They were considered as missing and ephemeral with no important contribution to the history of Polish Jews. The analysis of two inconspicuous magazines leads to the conclusion that expands research

Abstract:

The question of the Jews has been a concern, of not only the historian, since ancient times to the contemporaneity. A black page in the human history, the Holocaust is now meant to highlight an objective presentation of the facts and the political actors who endorsed or maintained such a tragedy. The interwar legislation, the political activity of some personalities at that time, including people of culture, the programs and the historical stages that formed the basis of the anti–Semitic practices are some of the topics approached in the article, meant to reflect, more than half a century late

Abstract:

What has compelled Jews in the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, and abroad to promote a positive image of Ottomans and Turks while they deny the Armenian genocide and the existence of anti-Semitism in Turkey? The dominant historical narrative is that Jews expelled from Spain in 1492 were embraced by the Ottoman Empire, and then later, protected from the Nazis during WWII. If we believe that Turks and Jews have lived in harmony for so long, then it is hard for us to accept that the Turks could have committed genocide against the Armenians. In this article, the author confronts these convictions and circ

The article proposes an original version of the origin of the names of the main characters of the novel L.N. Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. The author of the article, exploring the novel and extensive materials on it, shows an amusing but systematic replacement of L.N. Tolstoy when working on the novel the names of the heroes of the novel from Greek to Jewish, and from Jewish to Greek. This and other facts of the famous novel indicate changes in the work of the great Russian writer, not noticed by other researchers. In addition, the article shows the account of Russian characters when choosing the n

Abstract:

Jewish law is an independent legal system embracing most of the subjects to be found in any system of positive law. The hopes and efforts of many people notwithstanding, Israeli law is not identical to Jewish law, nor does it constitute one of its branches. The generally accepted view is that Jewish law is not influenced, nor affected in any way, by the acts of the Israeli legislature or judiciary. There is, however, little doubt that to a certain extent, Israeli law is influenced by Jewish law. It is therefore a legitimate exercise to discuss the nature of the relationship between the two sys

Abstract: Jakob Wassermann was a significant German-Jewish author of the 20th century, whose works captivated audiences with their psychological depth and literary brilliance. In the Prologue: Sabbatai Zewi to the novel The Dark Pilgrimage (1897) by Jakob Wassermann, the narrative delves into the enigmatic life and spiritual journey of the titular 17th-century Jewish mystic and false Messiah. This article aims to analyse the forms and functions of Sabbatianism and Sabbatai Zewi motif in Wassermann’s work. This should demonstrate Wassermann’s use of Jewish history, mysticism, and culture.

Maribor Synagogue is one of the few preserved medieval synagogues in Central Europe.

Its architectural shell and architectural elements have served as a reference point for the (visual) reconstruction of related monuments in the wider region. However, the renovation itself has left numerous unanswered questions, especially in regard to the building phases during the Jewish and later Christian use of the

The level of Israeli students' knowledge about suicide is generally good ( X̅ X = 3.21; SD = 0.58). There are significant differences, however, between the Jewish ( n = 266) and Arab ( n = 154) s

In 1949, in the newly founded state of Israel, South African architects Norman Hanson and Roy Kantorowich planned the city of Ashkelon and, within it, the exclusive neighbourhood unit Afridar. Managed by the South African Jewish Appeal, which initiated and funded the project, Afridar presented a radical exception to Israel’s centralized planning approach during that period. An early example of a semi-private settlement initiative for an ethnic and classbased enclave reserved for ‘Anglo-Saxon’ Jewish immigrants, it functioned as a ‘model town’ for the immigrant pop
