Full textAbstract:
Students of Second Temple Judaism have drawn two broad conclusions. First, Judaism of the first century is characterized by diversity. Second, the most pervasive influence on Judaism of this period was Hellenism. The present study seeks to contribute to the continuing discussion of Second Temple Judaism, bearing in mind these two factors. Specifically, the aim is to identify the shared ideas of Judaism. The thesis is concerned with the search for common features of the Jewish religion what may be termed "common denominators" within Second Temple Judaism. This should help to decide the question of how we are to understand the diversity within first-century Judaism in relation to its common shared features. In the search for these shared features two main bodies of evidence are explored: Josephus' Contra Apionem. 2. 190-219, and the letters of Paul; for differing reasons both of these documents may be used profitably. The letters of Paul are valuable since this material is all dated before the destruction of the Second Temple; whereas Contra Apionem. 2. 190-219, is one of the earliest and possibly oldest theological summaries compiled by a contemporary of the NT writers. While there are other summaries on the Jewish religion (Philo's Hypothetica. his Spec. Laws and Josephus' Antiquities 4.196-301) Contra Apionem offers a summary of a different kind because its focus is on basic Jewish principles. The method used is first to consider Ap. 2. 190-219 paragraph by paragraph in conjunction with Philo's Hypothetica and the Sentences of Pseudo-Phocylides. Where appropriate appeal is also made to the DSS, the rabbis, and the apocalyptic literature. This follows an assessment of the undisputed letters of Paul. The analysis of this evidence is conducted under the following headings: Jewish autobiography; Jewish elements in Paul's Christian theology; debates with Jewish Christian opponents; Jewish ethics embraced by Gentile converts; a dialogue on the nature of the Jewish religion. Three main conclusions are reached. The first is that there are discernible common features within first-century Judaism. This is supported by an analysis of the Contra Apionem precis and related Jewish material. Second, there is a body of common opinion that may be deemed to belong to the period before AD 70. This will be argued from the letters of Paul by appeal to various criteria. The third point is that there are Jewish ideas that are both common and pre-70. This will be confirmed by appealing in a comparative way to evidence from both the letters of Paul and Contra Apionem. The criterion can be formulated in the following way: ideas may be considered both common and pre-70 whenever those found in Contra Apionem and attested in a wide variety of Jewish evidence (thus common) are also attested in the letters of Paul (and so pre-70).

van, Loenen Eva. "Hasidic Judaism in American literature." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2015. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/396728/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis brings together literary texts that portray Hasidic Judaism in Jewish-American literature, predominantly of the 20th and 21st centuries. Although other scholars may have studied Rabbi Nachman, I.B. Singer, Chaim Potok and Pearl Abraham individually, no one has combined their works and examined the depiction of Hasidism through the codes and conventions of different literary genres. Additionally, my research on Judy Brown and Frieda Vizel raises urgent questions about the gendered foundations of Hasidism that are largely elided in the earlier texts. The thesis demonstrates how each text has engaged with Hasidic identity, thought, customs, laws, values and communities in its own particular way, creating tensions between the different literary interpretations. Furthermore, the thesis is structured chronologically and contributes to a cultural historical understanding of a people that has been threatened by modernity, nearly annihilated by the Nazis and uprooted from their motherlands in order to survive, and in fact thrive, in the United States. This historical development is described in the various texts used in this thesis, which belong to different genres from the short story, to the novel, to online Life writing. My research has been truly interdisciplinary, which is reflected in the use of different methodologies belonging to different academic fields such as history, sociology, anthropology, theology, Western esotericism and literary studies.

Full textAbstract:
Music CompositionD.M.A.
Chasing Yiddishkayt: Music for Accordion, Klezmorim Concertino, Strings, and Percussion is a four-movement composition that combines the idioms of klezmer music with aspects of serialism. I aimed to infuse the piece with a sense of yiddishkayt: a recognizable, rooted Jewishness. In order to accomplish this goal, I based each movement on a different klezmer style. I used the improvisatory-style of the Romanian Jewish doina as the foundation for Movement 1. For Movements 2 through 4 I selected tunes from the 1927 Hoffman Manuscript-a fake-book assembled by Joseph Hoffman in Philadelphia for his son, Morris-as the starting point in my process, and also for the generation of pitch material. Each movement places the tunes in a different serialist context through the use of abstraction, manipulation and regeneration. The orchestration of the composition is designed as a modified a concerto structure that alternates between featuring the accordion and contrasting the klezmorim concertino (fiddle, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and accordion) with the orchestra. Depending on the context, the percussion section functions as part of the concertino and the orchestra. In the monograph, I place the composition in a historical and musical context. In Chapter 1, I trace my travels to Kraków, Poland for the Jewish Culture Festival, where I began to explore and understand the intricate language of this music. In Chapter 2, I provide a summary of the history of klezmer music by looking at it through the context of a musical style that has developed across regional and cultural boundaries, and has drawn influences as far and wide as the Turkish maqam system in Constantinople, to the Moldavian Roms (Gypsies), to czarist Military bands, to jazz and swing, and to rock and roll. I conclude the chapter with a brief survey of four contemporary klezmer musicians of the new generation. In Chapter 3, I look at the modal structure of klezmer music. I used the work of Joshua Horowitz as the starting point for my research on various modal progressions and tetrachords. I then applied this research by analyzing a set of thirty freilechs in the Hoffman manuscript. In Chapter 4, I present an analysis of my composition as well as historical background for the tunes that I used as source material. I outline my future research goals in Chapter 5.

Schmack, Yvonne Joy. "Curriculum Judaism and pupils' attitude development." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2015. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/10642/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines the relationship between the teaching of Judaism and secondary school pupils’ perceptions of and attitudes to Jews. The study has two distinct contexts. The first is the perpetuation of negative attitudes towards Jews in England, and the second is the study of Judaism within Religious Education (‘curriculum Judaism’). Following an introductory chapter Chapters 2 and 3 analyse attitudinal development and the impact of strategies to challenge misconceptions. Particular reference is made to negative attitudes and behaviours to Jews in contemporary England and the impact of characteristics traditionally attributed to Jews. In Chapter 4 and 5 the context of curriculum Judaism is examined. Through a review of scholarly literature and policy documentation it is argued that the history of curriculum Judaism is unique and has been shaped by factors not conducive to presenting the tradition accurately. It maintains that teachers’ confidence in selecting appropriate content and teaching methods, and in challenging misconceptions, is pivotal for positive attitudinal development. Through a mixed methods approach, qualitative data is gathered from the three sources closest to curriculum Judaism - pupils, teachers and class textbooks. The data analysis in Chapter 7 and 8 contends that teachers often lack both confidence and appropriate knowledge to reflect the integrity of contemporary Judaism. Discussion of the selection and presentation of curriculum content and resources leads on to a consideration of the impact on pupils’ attitudes to Jews, with particular reference to the teaching of the Holocaust as a part of curriculum Judaism. The thesis argues that to meet the demands described above new approaches need to be established which develop teachers’ knowledge, discernment and confidence regarding appropriate content selection; effective learning experiences and strategies to effectively challenge misconceptions and stereotypes which inevitably develop into antisemitism.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contrasts the Plotinean attitude towards transcendence at the cosmological level with that of certain Kabbalistic authors of the 13th-17th century. Special emphasis is placed on the different approaches taken by each of the two sides to addressing the origin of otherness. Following a brief introduction to the notion of the question of transcendence, the first major part (chapter II) is dedicated to an exploration of the Plotinean conception of metaphysical "descent" from the One to subsequent hypostases. The second major part (chapter III) focuses on Kabbalistic conceptions of the descent from the indefinite infinite to the finite (limited) realm. Finally, I attempt to illustrate the questions and concerns common to each of the two cosmologies. In so doing, I make use of semiotic concepts to clarify the contrast between the two models.

Full textAbstract:
The Separation of Early Christianity from Judaism The moving apart of early Christianity from Judaism was a gradual process of de- judaisation, with separation taking place on several levels. Chapter One looks at the spread of Christianity and the physical moving apart of Jews and Christians by observing the geographical locations of the bishops attending various councils. Chapter Two examines the question of the Jewish-Christians who attempted to be both Jewish and Christian at the same time. In Chapter Three, statements about Jews in the early church councils which reveal judaising practices have been examined. Chapter Four studies the process of juridical separation of Jews from Christians as shown by an examination of the Theodosian Code. The fifth chapter examines the Jewish roots of Christian liturgy and focuses on the element that radically differentiated Christian from Jewish liturgy - its christological focus. Chapter Six speaks of the separation of Sabbath observance from Sunday observance, outlining the struggle to prevent Christians, who were accused of judaising, from celebrating the Sabbath as well as Sunday. Chapter Seven concentrates on the separation of Passover from Easter. While Chapter Eight investigates the development of a distinctly Christian archaeology, the ninth area of separation concerns the subject of Christianity in the rabbinic writings. In the nine areas studied, two pervasive causes of separation have been identified. The first concerns the non-practice of Jewish ritual law, when Christianity became predominantly a religion of non-Jews. Christianity, in order to define itself closed its ranks to Jewish practices. The second cause leading to separation was the messianic movement centred on Jesus, and the growing emphasis on the divinity of Jesus. This was reflected in the developing Christian liturgy, in the christianisation of Passover, the Eucharist and the practice of Sunday over and above the Jewish Sabbath.

Resumo: A filosofia de Espinosa representou importante contraponto à filosofia moderna, ainda que o filósofo holandês tenha acompanhado todo o debate filosófico e científico de seu tempo. Em face dos problemas religiosos e políticos do século XVII, e diante das saídas encontradas pela República Holandesa para os problemas de política internacional e de inclusão dos outros, Espinosa se apresenta como importante alternativa de produção de um novo discurso filosófico, carregado de subversão e libertação política, o que proporcionou, por sua vez, uma emancipação do pensar filosófico tanto das inspirações religiosas quanto da mera redução do saber ontológico ao conhecimento científico. Essa subversão se desdobrará não apenas na crítica religiosa, mas no enraizamento da potência imaginativa que cria uma nova linguagem e novas expressões corpóreas
Abstract: Spinoza's philosophy represented an important counterpoint to the modern philosophy, although the Dutch philosopher followed all the philosophical and scientific debate of his time. In the face of the religious and political problems of the seventeenth century and the solutions to the problems of international politics and inclusion adopted by the Dutch Republic, Spinoza presents himself as an important alternative for the production of a new philosophical discourse, charged with subversion and political liberation, which led, in turn, to an emancipation of the philosophical thought from both religious inspirations and mere reduction of ontological knowledge to scientific knowledge. This subversion will unfold not only in religious criticism, but also in the rooting of the imaginative power that creates a new language and new bodily expressions

Charry, Ellen T. "Awakening to Judaism and Jews in Christian Preaching." Universität Leipzig, 2020. https://ul.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A72276.
Full textAbstract:
Preaching is a daring undertaking. Whether through music, sermons, reading scripture, or personal conversation, speaking of God is an interpretive act. One never quite knows how what one plays, says, writes, or depicts is received. The distance between minds is vast. And given that every set of eyes may read the same words differently and each set of ears hear each interpretive utterance differently, hoping to communicate meaningfully with those watching and listening is nothing short of audacious. Among these challenges, one of the most delicate is preaching on Judaism and Jews. Yet Christians cannot avoid it. Judaism and Christianity are one another’s nemeses. Some biblical texts lend themselves to anti-Jewish attitudes and stereotypes that may be unrecognized so deep is Christian contempt for Jews and Judaism.
This paper offers suggestions for avoiding anti-Jewish preaching. To do that effectively it will be necessary to awaken a sensibility to the concern that pervades and penetrates Christian thought. That requires slogging through some “unprettiness.” The paper first illustrates anti-Jewish preaching by interrogating a popular text, Luke’s story of the Pharisee and the tax collector. It then briefly considers Christian hymns and sacred choral music and then focuses on four sermons: The Letter to the Hebrews, Melito of Sardis’s On Passover, Augustine’s sermon 122 on John 1:48-51, and a recent sermon on Galatians 3:23-29. It concludes with suggestions for preachers, musicians and congregations and includes guidelines for preaching on Jews and Judaism and a bibliography for further study.

Sanders (1977:114) contends that “[s]in comes only when man actually disobeys; if he were not to disobey he would not be a sinner.” This thesis was thus motivated to critique Sanders’s contention in relation to sin and human accountability in Second Temple Judaism. Before delving into various understandings of sin and human accountability of Second Temple Judaism, in Chapter 2, I deal with the Weltanschauung of Second Temple Judaism. It was observed that Israel’s covenantal history is far from discontinuous with creation at a time of severe theological, sociological, and political plights in spite of the presence of sin and evil. In Chapters 3, I deal with how the authors of 1 Enoch and Jubilees understood the presence of sin and evil. Even though the Watcher story in these Enochic traditions serves to attribute the origin of sin to the fallen angels, it was observed the Watcher story cannot quench Second Temple Jews’ uneasiness in relation to the presence of sin and evil. In Chapter 4, I deal with Qumran literature. By focusing on the term yetzer ra both in pre-Qumran and in Qumran writings, it is worth noting that Qumran literature shows a tendency to realize the severity of the sinfulness of humanity in a complicated and radicalized manner. When looking at first century Jewish (4 Ezra and 2 Baruch) and early Christian (Romans and James) literature in Chapter 5, it was observed that the authors of 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch came to develop further pessimistic anthropologies distinct from their predecessors in the Second Temple period. However, for them, a possibility is open for the few righteous remnants to obey divine commandments. It can be said that their understandings of sin and human accountability appear to be synergistic. For Paul and James, however, the paradigm of the relationship between divine agency and human agency is shifted from synergism to monergism in terms of the Jesus Christ event.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the ancient Jewish text the Book of Enoch, the scholarly work done on the text since its discovery in 1773, and its seminal importance to the study of ancient Jewish history. Primary sources for the thesis project are limited to Flavius Josephus and the works of the Old Testament. Modern scholars provide an abundance of secondary information. These scholars include R. H. Charles, D. S. Russell, Albert Baumgarten, Seth Schwartz, George Nickelsburg, and James VanderKam. The Book of Enoch was composed from roughly 300 BCE to 10 BCE. The Book of Enoch stands as substantial proof that there was not a single Judaism practiced in Palestine during the Second Temple period, but rather multiple Judaisms that interacted with one another, and out of that both post-Destruction Judaism and apocalyptic Christianity emerged.

O presente trabalho expõe, inicialmente, algumas definições sobre Judaísmo Ortodoxo, tipos de Judaísmo Ortodoxo, seus modelos educacionais e um breve histórico da comunidade judaica ortodoxa paulistana para subsidiar o estudo e a discussão sobre como a inclusão tecnológica e a interação virtual dos estudantes das suas instituições de ensino ocorrem nesse contexto. Procurouse demonstrar como os rabinos ortodoxos, temendo que as mudanças tecnológicas conduzam os integrantes de suas comunidades a abandonar práticas que asseguram a continuidade destas, estabelecem normas e interdições em relação ao uso de computadores e da Internet, dificultando a interação dos membros de sua comunidade com elementos externos aos de seus próprios ambientes presenciais. Considerando que atualmente a inclusão virtual é cada vez mais necessária para integrar os cidadãos na sociedade, o presente estudo aborda uma importante questão de forma pioneira ao expor o que a Internet representa para estes indivíduos, deixando transparecer a dificuldade dos rabinos ultra-ortodoxos em solucionar os impasses relacionados ao uso desta nos programas curriculares das disciplinas do Ensino Básico de suas instituições de ensino. Para o presente estudo, elaborado entre os anos de 2004 e 2007, foram utilizadas formulações teóricas disponíveis em artigos, revistas e livros sobre a comunidade judaica ortodoxa e foi realizada uma extensa pesquisa de campo em que foram entrevistadas autoridades rabínicas e líderes da comunidade em questão. Foram, também, analisadas informações obtidas por meio de questionários sobre o uso dos computares e da Internet respondidos pelos diretores de todas as instituições de ensino judaicas ortodoxas paulistanas reconhecidas pelo MEC e pelos seus estudantes de 1º e 2º ano do Ensino Médio.The present doctorate thesis expounds, initially, some definitions about Orthodox Judaism, varieties of Orthodox Judaism, its educational models and a brief history of the orthodox Jewish community of São Paulo in order to assist the learning and discussion about how the technological inclusion and the virtual interactions of its schools students take place in this context. It was attempted to demonstrate how the orthodox rabbis establish rules and prohibitions concerning the use of computers and of the Internet, making the interaction between their communitys members and outsiders of their own physical environments more difficult because they fear that technological changes will drive their followers to abandon practices that ensure the continuity of their community. Considering that today the virtual enclosure is increasingly necessary to integrating the citizens into society, the treatise at hand approaches an important issue in a pioneer way expounding what the Internet represents to these individuals and implies the hardness faced by the ultraorthodox rabbis to solve the difficulties related to the use of the new technologies and of the Internet into the secular study programs in their schools. For the present tractate, elaborated between the years of 2004 and 2007, theoretical formulations available in articles, magazines, and other studies about the orthodox Jewish community were employed, as well as an extensive field research interviewing this community `s authorities and leaders was performed. Another source of the acquired and analyzed data are questionnaires regarding the use of computers and of the Internet, responded by the principals of all Jewish orthodox schools in the city of São Paulo accredited by the Brazilian Ministry of Education and Culture and by their students of the 10th and 11th grades (High School).

McClanahan, Erin M. "The Contextualization of Tikkun Olam in American Reform Judaism." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2010. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/rs_theses/30.
Full textAbstract:
American Reform Judaism currently associates the Kabalistic term, tikkun olam, with one of its core principles, social justice. This association is relatively new, dating roughly to the 1950s. The appropriation of a Kabbalistic term by American Reform Judaism is unusual given the historical animosity of American Reform Judaism toward the Kabbalah. The purpose of this thesis to explain this appropriation by contextualizing the use of tikkun olam within American Reform Judaism. The method through which this will be accomplished is the analysis of official documents, journal articles and theological discussions found within the American Reform movement. The thesis concludes that American Reform Judaism chose to appropriate tikkun olam and associate it with social justice in order to locate social justice in a historically Jewish context. This reworking of the concept of social justice to place it within a specifically Jewish frame work reflects the theological shift which occurs in reaction to the Holocaust, fears over Jewish assimilation and other social factors taking place during the 1940s and 1950s.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis is introduced by setting the scene at around the beginning of the second century CE, with a short description of the ‘Parting of the Ways’ between Judaism and Christianity. Particular emphasis is placed on the construction of Christianity’s identity and her assembly of Jewish and pagan identities. Attention will be drawn to the history of interpretation of this Christian identification, from perception of an attitude of anti-Judaism across-the-board to recognition of a more intricate interplay. Recognising that the investigation of this interplay is critical and can only be achieved through textual analysis, the KP is introduced with questions of authorship and provenance examined. The goal of the thesis is then stated; to determine the Petrine author’s perceptions of Jews and Judaism and whether they are based on historical stereotyping or real contemporary contact. The first chapter is foundational to the investigation that follows, for it is a critical text and translation of the KP. The text’s fragmentary nature is noted as well as the different schemes devised to refer to specific parts of the KP. With the appropriate nomenclature fixed upon, the fragments are then set out one after the other and where there is divergence in opinion about the meaning of the text, this is noted and all arguments considered before a judgement is given. With this background, the second chapter examines the instances within the text where the author may be accused of attacking Jews and Judaism. This occurs in two fragments {KP(IV) and KP(IX)} and over three separate issues {angelolatry, selenolatry and ‘Christ-killing’}. These topics are examined in turn, with the attitudes in the KP compared to those in contemporary texts. By making such comparisons it is possible to ascertain whether the Petrine author’s claims were justified and to help establish the extent of contact the Petrine author had with Jews and Judaism. The third chapter focuses on areas of Judaism that the Petrine author appropriated. This includes an examination of ‘Scripture’ and ‘Jerusalem’ in KP(IX) and the use of ‘νόμος’ and ‘λόγος’ in KP(I). Contemporary works are again analysed alongside the KP so as to permit an assessment of the extent of any appropriation. In the final chapter I turn my attention to KP(V) and KP(VI) which deal with the notion of ‘New Covenant’ and the possibility of Jews being part of this agreement.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation conducts a theological study of Ancient Jewish and Pauline views of revelation and of revealed mysteries. Part one offers first a general introduction consisting of a summary of Old Testament antecedents to the post-biblical topic under discussion, and some observations about the nature and delineation of the 'Judaism' under examination. The following seven Chapters then address the understanding of revelation in general, and of revealed mysteries in particular, in various bodies of Jewish writings: apocalyptic literature, the Dead Sea Scrolls, wisdom literature, Philo, Josephus, the Targums and Greek versions, and early Rabbinic literature. Part One concludes with a brief synthetic statement outlining commonalities and distinctions in the different writings surveyed, highlighting the derivative nature of revelation (and the corresponding role of Biblical interpretation), and pointing out the significance of soteriological mysteries for questions of theodicy. After a short introduction, Part Two traces our theme in the letters of Paul. Chapter 8 offers a thematic treatment of Paul's fundamental view of revelation according to its past, present, and future dimensions, together with a brief assessment of the remaining revelatory value of the Old Testament. This is followed by an analysis of some specific passages dealing with the theme of a revelation of mysteries in the Roman and Corinthian correspondence (Chapter 9) and in Colossians (Chapter 10). The Conclusion begins with a short evaluation of previous research into relevant notions of revelation and of mystery. This is followed by a summary of the overall argument. The final observations evaluate the significance of the results for Jewish and Pauline studies, suggesting inter alis both a paradigmatic difference in the substance of revelation and yet a certain logical symmetry in the manner of its apprehension and development.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts an analysis of the role played by Abraham in the religious consciousness of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The first chapter presents a theoretical construct which serves as the basis for subsequent analysis. It is argued that one of the major functions of religious consciousness is the integration of experience into a coherent perception of reality. This involves providing a mechanism for identifying, constructing and crossing various kinds of boundaries. The first chapter then attempts to analyze the role of Abraham specifically in terms of identifying and crossing boundaries. The second chapter attempts to use the figure of Abraham to analyze the coherent perception of reality which is offered by each faith to its believing community. The third chapter takes the figure of Abraham as a means of looking at the problem of conflicting perceptions of reality. The problem of religious versus "empirical" approaches to truth is discussed in relation to the historical problems raised by the figure of Abraham and finally the discussion turns to differing religious perceptions of reality.

Zhou, Xun. "A history of Chinese perceptions of 'Jews' and Judaism." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1998. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/28636/.
Full textAbstract:
While prejudice against Jews has been regarded as a real and ongoing category in Western culture, little attention has been paid to the myths of the 'Jews' and their impact in countries outside the West. My work draws on a wide variety of source material from the past two centuries to examine the images of the 'Jews' as constructed in China. However, my interest here does not lie in the determination of the boundary between the real and fictional aspects of these images. Rather, it lies in the implications associated with the 'Jew' as an 'other', which remains a distant mirror in the construction of the 'self ' amongst various social groups in modern China. In China, representations of the 'Jews' and Judaism are very complex. Although these representations seem to correspond to images of the 'Jews' in Europe, it would be superficial to reduce them to purely 'Western influence'. Representations of the 'Jews' have been endowed with indigenous meaning by modernizing elites since the late nineteenth-century. Unlike anti-Semites of Europe who used the language of Jews as the mark of their inferiority, in China the difference of the 'Jews' has been marked by their 'non-Chineseness'. By creating the 'Jews' as a homogenous group, which acts as a constitutive outsider which embodies all the negative, as well as positive qualities, which were feared or desired by various social groups in China, theses Chinese could thus identify themselves as a integrated reference group: a homogenous 'in-group'. They are thus able to project their own anxieties onto outsiders like the 'Jews'. In this respect, it corresponds to a widespread fear, as well as need of an 'other', which can be found in many cultures and societies. The present thesis does not, however, supply the final answer. It is meant to be a historical study in order to point out that the prejudice about the 'Jews' is not merely a 'western problem', it exists in China. It therefore opens a field for general and wider discussions, not only about the 'Jews', but also about other 'marginalised' groups, such as 'blacks' and 'homosexuals'.

Die Hauptströmung der orthodoxen jüdischen Gemeinschaft in Großbritannien, die vollständig integriert ist und am britischen Leben teilnimmt, scheint in gewisser Hinsicht, als ein beispielhaftes Modell für ein modernes orthodoxes Judentums gelten zu können. Der Begriff „Minhag Anglia” kann jedoch auch verwendet werden, um die oftmals unsystematisch von statten gehende Vermischung von Jüdischkeit und Britentum zu beschreiben, die als anglo-jüdische Lebensweise charakterisiert werden kann. In diesem Beitrag wird in Erwägung gezogen, ob der allgemein unreflektierte Charakter des „Minhag Anglia” es ausschließe, dass dieser als eine Strategie des modernen orthodoxen Judentums fungiere.In certain respects the mainstream Orthodox Jewish community in Britain, fully engaged and integrated into British life, appears to offer an exemplar of a Modern Orthodox Judaism. However the term minhag Anglia may be used to capture the nature of the often unsystematic blending of Jewishness and Britishness that can characterise Anglo-Jewish practice. This paper considers whether the broadly unthinking nature of minhag Anglia precludes its ability to function as a strategy for Modern Orthodox Judaism.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation represents the first attempt to take account of the entire Swedish œuvre of Marcus Ehrenpreis and view it as a single, coherent statement, recognizing the very fundamental confrontation taking place between traditional and modern ways of viewing reality and its possible resolution. A reading of his work reveals that the one constant in his life in letters was the struggle to reconcile the apparent logical antithesis of universalism and particularism, which this dissertation sees as one with resonance for all ethnic minorities. In the Chapter One, a general orientation in the modern Jewish world is provided, including the traditional worlds of Orthodoxy and Hasidism into which he was born; the trend toward the political emancipation of the Jews in Western and Central Europe and the subsequent waves of assimilation among young Jews; the exacerbation of antisemitic tendencies in both Eastern and Western Europe; the emergence of Jewish nationalism, commonly known as Zionism; and the renaissance of Jewish culture which crystallized around these events. Chapter Two offers a social and intellectual biography of Ehrenpreis, providing the reader with the relevant information about his youth, organizational efforts, education, and career as rabbi and author, while Chapter Three posits a perspective from which to approach his work, by describing the generational unit to which he belonged and how the concerns of his youth and early adulthood, shared by other Jewish intellectuals born around the same time as he, shaped the problems with which he grappled throughout his life. The generational perspective also allows the fundamental differences between his own generation and the generations before and after his to emerge in bold relief. It is hoped that in employing this perspective, it becomes clear that the accumulated work of Ehrenpreis can be seen as an integrated whole, which came to full expression during his thirty-five years in Sweden. In Chapter Four, Ehrenpreis' definitions of Jewish religion and Jewish culture and the difference between them are explicated, before proceeding to investigate the way in which he thought the essence of these ideas best be mediated - primarily from the pulpit in his sermons and the intellectual periodical in his writings. The latter in particular he found to be an essential tool for disseminating Jewish culture in Sweden, both to Swedish Jewry and the general Swedish public. Chapters Five and Six deal with what Ehrenpreis considered the two major expressions of Jewish culture, literature and historical knowledge, and the roles they played in the formation of a substantive understanding of Jewish culture in the modern world. For him, literature was the bearer of ethics and values and the forum within which these could be transvaluated and made germane to modern man. In his historical writings, he wished to counteract tendencies from within and without the Jewish world which either consigned the Jewish people to the past tense, or overemphasized the role of traumas and catastrophes in its history at the expense of an ongoing, positive and creative Jewish cultural evolution. Chapter Seven concludes the close reading of Ehrenpreis ' Swedish authorship by concentrating on his wartime writings. In referring to the legacy of the Hebrew prophets, the essential cultural values of Jewish tradition as he perceived them emerge: The ideas of social justice, minority rights, and the goal of perpetual peace between nations. He emphasizes their significance for the development of the democratic tradition in Europe as well as their function as the pillars on which the identity of Jews in the modern world could rest. The dissertation closes with a summary of its conclusions.digitalisering@umu
