Guttman, Rebecca. "Jewish law, Jewish ethics and Quebec's culture: potential influences on the experience of infertility for Hasidic women in Quebec." Thesis, McGill University, 2013. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=119397.

The aim of this thesis is to examine reproductive technologies and infertility from the perspective of Orthodox Jewish ethics, law and culture. Treating infertility is a complex process; individuals vary in their course of treatment, taking into account their medical situation, religious beliefs, prevailing cultural norms, reproductive policy in their jurisdiction, financial constraints, and their community context. For Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Jews, this context includes a religious and cultural imperative to procreate, as well as religious law and social preference dictating the most preferred types of family. Judaism is a particularly pronatalist religion, and has a large body of halakhic text on reproductive technologies. Jewish people living in North America may also be influenced in their infertility experience by the policies and cultural norms of the society in which they live. This thesis examines the aspects of halakha (Jewish law), Quebec policy, Orthodox Jewish ethics, and ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish culture that are likely to influence the experience of infertility for Hasidic Jewish women in Quebec. Orthodox Judaism has a strong legacy of opinion defining the nature of family and the importance of genetics. This paper examines the aspects of Judaism and Hasidic culture that might strongly influence this experience, and also examines aspects of Quebec's history and current policy that may also influence this experience, albeit from a different angle.L'objectif de cette thèse est d'examiner les technologies de reproduction et de traitement de l'infertilité au point de vue de l'éthique, du droit et de la culture juive orthodoxe. Le traitement de l'infertilité est un processus complexe; les individus changent en cours de traitement. On doit tenir compte de leur dossier médical, de leur croyance religieuse, des normes culturelles en vigueur, de la politique de la reproduction dans leur juridiction, des contraintes financières et du contexte de leur communauté. Pour les juifs orthodoxes et ultraorthodoxes, ce contexte comprend un impératif religieux et culturel de procréer. Aussi, la loi religieuse et la préférence sociale dictent les types de familles les plus privilégiées. Le judaïsme est une religion prônant la natalité, et qui possède un grand corps de texte halakhique sur les technologies de reproduction. Les Juifs vivant en Amérique du Nord peuvent également être influencés dans leur expérience de l'infertilité par les politiques et les normes culturelles de la société dans laquelle ils vivent. Cette thèse examine les aspects de la Halakha (loi juive), la politique du Québec, l'éthique juive orthodoxe, et les cultures juives ultraorthodoxes et hassidiques qui sont susceptibles d'avoir une influence sur l'expérience de l'infertilité pour les femmes juives hassidiques au Québec. Le judaïsme orthodoxe possède un fort héritage quant à l'opinion qui définit la nature de la famille et l'importance de la génétique. Ce document examine les aspects du judaïsme hassidique et la culture qui pourraient influencer fortement cette expérience, et étudie également les aspects de l'histoire du Québec et de la politique actuelle qui peuvent aussi influer sur cette expérience, mais à partir d'un angle différent.

Seven percent of the national four year college population is involved in Greek Life (Microsoft Encarta Online Encyclopedia, 2008, ~5) with over sixty percent on some campuses (Finkel, 201 0). An often unexamined aspect of collegiate learning pertaining to this context is students' spiritual development, yet this is a vital part of a student's life throughout college and critical to whole student learning (Love & Talbot, 2005). Students report a high level of interest in spiritual activities while struggling with existential questions on a regular basis (Higher Education Research Institute, 2003). Most social fraternities and sororities embrace Christian ideals, making the spiritual development of non-Christian students involved in Greek Life a unique challenge. Focusing on the spiritual development of Jewish students within these social organizations is important because until the mid-twentieth century, there were restrictive membership clauses barring Jewish students from becoming active members of multiple fraternities and sororities founded on Christian ideals (Callais, 2002). The purpose of this study was to examine the unique dichotomy created by students who do not participate in the systemic religious views of a majority of Greek Life organizations; specifically focusing on students of Jewish faith in primarily Christian based Greek letter organizations. The students interviewed show a richness of experiences and information finding that Jewish students (1) identification as spiritually or culturally Jewish defines college experiences, (2) find sanctuary and community with other Jewish students and in groups such as Hillel, (3) who interact with faculty and staff that identify with their heritage feel a sense of belonging on campus, (4) struggle with campus dining practices, (5) face academic penalties due to practice of faith traditions, (6) did not feel welcome or comfortable at the local places of worship, and (7) in Greek letter organizations felt · excluded or challenged because of the founding ideals.

Midrash is a genre of rabbinic Bible exegesis, composed by various authors and compiled in anthologies during the first seven centuries of the Common Era. This thesis explores the reading of Midrash and its possible influence on early artistic activity. Examples of early Jewish and Christian biblical representations that display some degree of midrashic impact, are presented in order to establish the existence of a relationship between Midrash and art. Finally, by a systematic reading of the corpus of midrashic literature found in Midrash Rabbah, Midrashim that suggest graphic representation, but which have not yet to been found among early art forms, are categorized and analyzed.

This thesis investigates the influences on Jerome's translation of the Psalter from the Hebrew (IH Psalter) that came from the three major socio-religious spheres with which Jerome was acquainted. It argues that the results offer insights into Jerome's conception of the nature of Hebrew text itself, of the relationship between it and the Christian faith, and of his role as translator. The thesis argues and demonstrates that the language of the IH Psalter reveals influences that derive from Jerome's classical background, from his contact with rabbinic scholars in Palestine, and, especially, from his adopted Christian faith. These influences are subtle, but their combined effect is considerable. Care is taken to demonstrate that Jerome was a competent translator, and that he deliberately intended the classical, Jewish or Christian nuances that are discussed. This is achieved, first, by comparing the IH Psalter with the Hebrew as an initial step, then with Jerome's translation of the Psalter from the Hexaplaric Septuagint, and with the various Greek versions where they are extant; and second, by evaluating the relationship between Jerome's translations and his exegetical material on the Psalter. The fact that Jerome is both translator and exegete of the Psalter allows clear insight into the impact of his understanding of the Psalms on his translation of them. The Conclusion argues that the issues can be focussed on and find their resolution in Jerome's conception of the nature and function of the Hebrew text. By imputing to Jerome a belief in the divine inspiration of the Hebrew text, and a belief that the Hebrew text properly understood and properly translated reveals Jesus Christ, the character of the IH Psalter can best be explained. Jerome's translations often exploited available linguistic space, but they rarely went beyond what hebraica veritas could reasonably signify.

Cette thèse établit l'inventaire exhaustif des synagogues de Casablanca en service, celles qui sont fermées ou encore celles disparues et dont on n'a plus de traces, ainsi que celui des objets rituels qu'elles renferment. L'implantation de ces lieux de culte constitue également une source d'informations sur la communauté juive Casablancaise et sur la mobilité de sa population entre 1911 et 2013. Casablanca, musée à ciel ouvert, a été influencée par des courants artistiques importés par l'Occident, tels que le Bauhaus, le style Art Nouveau, l'Art déco, des éléments gothiques ... associés à l'influence locale, aux courants internes au Maroc et à l'architecture coloniale. Adoptés par les familles juives de Casablanca, ces courants architecturaux vont finalement être appliqués à l'archtecture des synagogues, à leur mobilier et aux objets de culteThis thesis is an exhaustive inventory of Casablanca synagogues (based on, closed or missing) and ritual objects they contain. The etablishment of these places of worship provide also information on the jewish community of this city as well as the mobility of its population between 1911 and 2013. Casablanca, open-air museum, was influenced by artistic currents imported by colonization, such as the bauhaus, Art nouveau style, Art Déco, gothics elements ... mixed with local influence and architecture imported from the other cities of Morocco, as well as colonial architecture. Those architectural movements will penetrate private houses including jewish families of Casablanca to finally get into the synagogues and influence their architecture, furniture and liturgical objects

Historically, the Jewish faith has used alcohol in rituals and religious holidays in which adolescents are permitted to fully participate and this exposure to alcohol may influence attitudes and beliefs about underage drinking among Jewish adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between the Jewish religion and attitudes toward alcohol among Jewish adolescents. The theoretical frameworks, on which this study was based, were the social bond theory and the social development theory. Each of these theories indicates that community is important to the individual. Using a cross sectional study design, 160 adolescents participated in a survey that was administered by paper during a free period or lunchtime. ANOVA and linear regression were used to determine if there was a relationship between religion, gender, age, and attitudes toward alcohol. According to study findings, there was no significant relationship between religious affiliation or religious service attendance and attitudes towards the use of alcohol. However, there was a significant relationship between gender and attitudes against drinking and between age and the positive attitudes for drinking. These findings may spur positive social change at the community level. Yeshivas may review with Jewish adolescents the distinction between using alcohol for rituals/ceremonies and using alcohol socially, and the consequences of underage drinking. Future studies should include more participants in the different sects and denominations to get a more complete picture of the Jewish community.

Paul Schoenfield’s Klezmer Rondos is a work for flute, male vocalist, and orchestra revised in 1994 according to the score given to me by the composer. A review of current research in klezmer heritage music is the starting point to place Klezmer Rondos in the context of art music infused with klezmer flavor. Klezmer music can be defined as the instrumental folk music of Eastern European Jews, however because of its adaptability and quality of assimilating other cultures within it, this heritage music is constantly in flux. By looking at the research in this field, I describe how the sound of klezmer music has evolved and how popular notions have been formed. The body of this research explores the main musical aspects of Klezmer Rondos that can be tied to the klezmer tradition: scales and thematic materials, improvisatory elements, ornamentation, and instrumentation. Klezmer Rondos moves beyond a simple arrangement of vernacular music for orchestra; it is a fusion of contemporary art music with the elements of klezmer style.

A apocalíptica judaica tem um papel importante no cristianismo primitivo, assim como no judaísmo da diáspora. Quando lemos o relato da transfiguração no evangelho de Mateus e comparamos o mesmo com os do evangelho de Marcos e Lucas, percebemos semelhanças e diferenças. Dentre as diferenças, aquelas apresentadas pelo evangelho de Mateus chamam a atenção pelo realce que dá aos aspectos apocalípticos. Por isso, a presente pesquisa analisa a influência da apocalíptica judaica no relato da transfiguração no evangelho de Mateus. Para tanto, a pesquisa começa abordando as questões centrais da apocalíptica judaica e, também o contexto histórico do evangelho de Mateus, ou seja, sua relação com o ambiente romano e com os Judaísmos do final do primeiro século d.C. Em seguida, a perícope de Mt 17,1-8 é analisada mediante o método histórico-crítico, que dentre as análises do método, destaca como o redator trabalhou a sua fonte, o relato do evangelho de Marcos. Por fim, os aspectos teológicos da perícope estudada são analisados, tendo como princípio a comparação com textos da apocalíptica judaica que possuem alguma correspondência. A correspondência, em cada ponto, é feita observando a seguinte ordem: cronológica, semântica e teológica. Dessa forma, a pesquisa ratifica a idéia que para se entender o relato de Mateus da transfiguração é necessário o conhecimento da apocalíptica judaica.
The Jewish apocalyptic plays an important role in early Christianity, as well as in Judaism of diaspora. When we read the story of the Transfiguration in the Gospel of Matthew and compare the same with the Gospel of Mark and Luke, we see similarities and differences. Among the differences, those presented by the Gospel of Matthew draw attention by highlighting that gives doomsday aspects. Therefore, this research analyzes the influence of Jewish apocalyptic account of the Transfiguration in the Gospel of Matthew. To do this, the search begins by addressing the central issues of Jewish apocalyptic, and also the historical context of the Gospel of Matthew, namely, its relationship with the environment and with the Judaisms from the end of the first century AD the then perícope of Matt 17,1-8 is parsed by method, that of historical-critical analysis of the method, outlines how the writer worked its source, the story of the Gospel of mark. Finally, the theological aspects of pericope studied are analyzed, having as a principle the comparison with texts of Jewish apocalyptic that have some correspondence. The match, at each point, is done by observing the following order: chronological, semantics and theological. This way the search ratifies the idea that in order to understand the story of Matthew of the Transfiguration is required knowledge of Jewish apocalyptic.

Processing the Holocaust and its disruption to society has emerged as a significant preoccupation, both privately and publicly, since the war ended almost seventy years ago. By taking up the topic, contemporary artists, often called the "third generation," die Enkel or die Dritten in German, argue that grappling with the past is a process that cannot yet be laid to rest. The cultural production of some of these artists is the focus of this study.
Some, like German literary scholar Ernestine Schlant, have argued that past efforts to process history have been lacking. Her review of West German, post-war literature, The Language of Silence, is surveyed for the purpose of understanding how previous generations tackled the topic and how success in confronting the issues could be measured.
Four artists represent their views on the burden of history in works produced in the first decade of the new century. In Schweigen die Täter, reden die Enkel, Claudia Brunner describes her efforts to recognize and deal with the feelings of Phantomschmerzen as a result of being a descendent of a Nazi perpetrator. Himmelskörper, by Tanja Dückers, portrays a new mother trying to discover the secrets her grandmother harbors; Uwe von Seltmann wrestles with the legacy of unpunished crimes in Karlebachs Vermächtnis; and, denial takes center stage as Jens Schanze documents his family's attempts to end the silence about a Nazi grandfather in the film Winterkinder.
Lest it be thought contemporary artists saw no importance in the legacy of the Holocaust or were not inclined to tackle political issues, this study contends that modern artists are not only capable of confronting the past, but that they find the confrontation still necessary. Given their temporal distance to the era, they have an advantage over previous generations to approach the issues with more objectivity and composure. They do this work in service to others who seek to understand the pain and guilt they feel; to those who sense secrets in their family's history that remain buried and harmful; to those who were wronged; to those who suffer from long-suppressed conflict; and, to those who care deeply, also from afar, that German society successfully digest, but not forget, the history.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Body image dissatisfaction at moderate levels can be a normative experience for many women of current American culture. However, women whose body dissatisfaction exceeds moderate levels are vulnerable to developing an eating disorder. Empirical findings show body dissatisfaction predicts low self-esteem, depression, and overall poor quality of life.
Various theories aim to understand factors involved in the development and maintenance of body dissatisfaction. Sociocultural factors, such as peers, family, and media, have gained the greatest empirical support. The tripartite influence model of body image dissatisfaction and eating disturbance integrates sociocultural factors, and has been empirically tested to evaluate risk factors using an established theoretical model. However, this model has primarily been applied to Caucasian samples.
A recent trend in the body image literature is increasing attention to ethnic differences in body image. Jews are an ethnic minority who has been virtually ignored in the empirical literature on body image; yet, studies suggest Jewish females experience body dissatisfaction. To date, no published empirical study has applied the tripartite influence model to Jewish American females. A sociocultural model can potentially increase understanding of body dissatisfaction among Jewish American females.
This study used the tripartite influence model to examine relationships among variables (Jewish identity, parental influence, internalization of appearance) hypothesized to relate to body image dissatisfaction. Participants were 255 self-identified Jewish American women who completed a web-based survey measuring these constructs.
Results showed a significant, yet weak, relationship between Jewish identity and body dissatisfaction. Contrary to prediction, Jewish women perceived greater pressure from fathers to lose weight than mothers, and no difference in pressure from both parents to gain weight and gain muscle. As perceived pressure from fathers to lose weight increases, women reported greater body dissatisfaction. A significant but weak relationship was found between perceived pressure from fathers to gain muscle and body dissatisfaction. The more women internalize media messages promoting the thin ideal for women, women reported less body satisfaction. A significant but low correlation was found between women who endorsed the "toned," athletic body ideal and body dissatisfaction.

La tesi parteix del pensament de maduresa de Hannah Arendt (Hannover 1906- New York 1975), expressat, entre d’altres escrits, a les obres The Human Condition (1975) i The Life of the Mind (1978). Amb aquesta base, la recerca es retrotrau al pensament de joventut de Hannah Arendt, reflectit en la seva tesi doctoral sobre el concepte d’amor en Agustí de Hipona, Der Liebesbegriff bei Augustin (1929) i en un altre text, Rahel Varnhagen: the Life of a Jewess, escrit abans del 1933 però publicat vint anys més tard, el 1958. Una de les finalitats d’aquesta tesi és investigar la continuïtat o abandonament de la filosofia i les idees d’aquella primera etapa marcada fortament per la influència intel·lectual de Heidegger y Jaspers. No obstant, el propòsit no és examinar exhaustivament la influència dels seus mestres ni de l’existencialisme, la fenomenologia o l’ontologia, sinó més aviat detectar i evidenciar la gran importància de les petjades agustinianes procedents de l’època de la seva formació acadèmica i veure en quina mesura perviuen metamorfosejades en les categories polítiques fonamentals de l’obra madura de l’autora. El text sobre Rahel Varnhagen, fa possible plantejar la identitat jueva d’Arendt i també la seva condició de dona o “feminini generis” com digué ella mateixa. Permet també reprendre des d’un angle diferent les categories centrals, i examinar la relació del romanticisme alemany, a través de Rahel Varnhagen, amb la formació filosòfica i experiència vital de l’Arendt jove en el context de l’existencialisme i el marxisme durant els anys en què es gestà i culminà el nazisme a Alemanya. Aquestes dues obres de joventut, escassament estudiades fins el present, permeten un apropament a una Arendt amb trets intel·lectuals i personals forts i contrastats, que perfilen ja el pensament polític posterior de Hannah Arendt.
La recerca mostra com l’accent polític del pensament arendtià va en augment fins assolir la idea que és necessari defensar l’esfera pública atès que la vida política és en perill a causa de l’emergència d’un àmbit intermedi o híbrid entre públic i privat, és l’àmbit social o la societat regida per la noció d’igualtat. Aquesta qüestió s’examina a la llum de l’anàlisi arendtià de la filosofia marxiana en els seus escrits Karl Marx and the Tradition of Western Political Thought.
Una de les qüestions principals plantejades en aquesta recerca és la triple condició de Hannah Arendt, tres identitats forjades a través de l'experiència física i espiritual. Hi ha una contumaç recurrència a la noció d'experiència per part d'Arendt, que du inevitablement a pensar en aquesta pluralitat de personatges construïts a partir de les experiències viscudes en la pròpia carn, en cos i esperit: l'Arendt jueva, l'alemanya i l'americana. També el món greco-romà exercí una gran fascinació en Hannah Arendt, atesa la destacada importància que Arendt atorga a la fundació de Roma, a Agustí, a Ciceró i a Virgili, però la "polis" i la "civitas", no van constituir la seva identitat sinó que van ser el referent clàssic del seu pensament polític. En Arendt no hi ha cap nostàlgia ni desig de retorn al passat. Arendt denuncia no l'oblit del passat sinó el del present, l'oblit del món comú i del viure junts. L'Arendt jueva és la dona que va néixer en una família assimilada de Königsberg, que va créixer enmig dels costums jueus, i que ja adulta va esdevenir una pària conscient de la seva judaïtat perquè va ser expulsada de la terra on havia nascut, desposseïda de la ciutat, de la gent, de la llengua i del món que sentia seu. Aquesta catàstrofe la va fer sentir-se jueva i rebel, va comprendre que havia de defensar-se des de la condició per la qual havia estat atacada. Arendt, a pesar de les crítiques i de la seva condició, d'assimilada conscient, mai renuncià ni abdicà de la seva condició jueva. L'Arendt alemanya és sobretot la defensora de la llengua materna, a banda de la seva explícita declaració, es constata en les referències a la poesia i la literatura alemanyes, en la manera d'escriure d’Arendt, i en la crítica que adreça a qui vol fer com si pogués pensar i identificar-se amb paraules estranyes. L'Arendt americana és la refugiada, la pària que amb la seva qualitat personal ha adquirit una ciutadania nova, ha tornat a començar. Els Estats Units, recullen en el pensament arendtià les referències mítiques del món grec i llatí, de la fundació i la república, en l'experiència americana el passat mític de l'origen coincideix amb el futur d'un món nou i un nou ordre, en un present ple de contradiccions però pel qual Arendt sentia gratitud.
La tesi examina la metodologia arendtiana fins arribar a clarificar i formular les quatre línies mestres del mètode emprat per Arendt: la recuperació de fragments i muntatge de citacions, les conceptualitzacions diferenciadores, la doble interpretació i finalment l’exercici o experiència de pensament que s’expressa mitjançant l’assaig. Amb aquest plantejament es refusen les crítiques que qualifiquen Arendt de pensadora asistemàtica, i contradictòria. Els autors emprats per a examinar aquest aspecte metodològic han estat Kant, Nietzsche, Benjamin i Adorno.The main objective of this research consists of detecting and bringing to light the question about whether there was a continuity in the thinking of Hannah Arendt or, on the contrary, there was a break or an abandonment between the ideas and experiences of her youth and her mature thinking. This topic is shown at the subtitle, which mentions the main actors of two Arendt works: Love and Augustine (1929) and Rahel Varnhagen, the Life of a Jewess (1958). Although the latter work was published for the first time twenty years later, it was written by Arendt before 1933, except for the two last chapters (1938), so both books were youth works. Augustine was related to Arendt’s academic studies and, moreover, to German Existenz Philosophy, which she analyzed and compared with French Existentialism. However, she cannot be considered an existentialist. Rahel Levin (Varnhagen) was related to Arendt’s Jewish identity, to her woman’s condition or, as she said, “feminini generis”, and to the German romanticism. Those works and the problems outlined in them are contrasted with the last work The Life of the Mind in which Arendt reviews, especially in the book devoted to Willing, Augustine’s philosophy from a new perspective. The research shows how the accent on politics increases until Arendt reaches the idea that it is necessary to save the public realm since political life is everywhere under siege because of the emergence of “society” and “equality”: the former was the most important phenomena while the latter was the main social notion of Modern Age. Regarding this matter, the research discusses Arendt’s analysis of Marxism in Karl Marx and the Tradition of Western Political Thought and the categories of “labor, work and action” in her main work The Human Condition. Another objective of this research is to clarify Arendt’s method. It has been said that Arendt was an anti-systematic thinker who posed paradoxical or contradictory questions. Some of the authors that have been useful to analyze this problem are Kant, Nietzsche, Benjamin and Adorno.

The music and texts of the Jewish liturgy are commonly called the Sacred Service. Choral settings of this liturgy form a distinct genre of choral music. Despite the rich history and influence of the text itself, relatively few composers have set it chorally. Among the two most influential settings are Avodath Hakodesh (1933) by Ernest Bloch and Darius Milhaud’s Service sacré (Sacred Service) of 1947. Temple Emanu-El Reformed Congregation in San Francisco commissioned both under the leadership of Cantor Reuben Rinder, and the two pieces have many similarities. The focus of the present research is on expressive text-setting in the Service sacré of Darius Milhaud. My research suggests that study of Milhaud’s personal beliefs and religious background can help explain some of the composer’s compositional decisions in Service sacré. Milhaud’s background includes deep roots in the Jewish tradition, but he also shows a keen appreciation for aspects of Christian theology. Prior to this study, Milhaud’s intent to expressively set the text has not been thoroughly considered. Particularly interesting are his settings of texts that deal with themes such as salvation and redemption, including movements such as Tsur Yisrael (Mvt. V), Praised be Thou, O Lord (Mvt. VI), and Returning the Scroll to the Ark (Mvt. XII). These topics of salvation and redemption are usually deemphasized in the Reformed Jewish perspective. Yet, in Milhaud’s work, these portions are highlighted through his compositional settings.

This thesis examines Sephardic melodies that were adopted into the liturgy of the Ashkenazic Jews in London during the early twentieth century. The work begins by presenting a history of Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews from the time they settled in England to the end of the nineteenth century. Through an analysis of social and religious changes taking place among English Jews of the nineteenth century, this thesis explicates reforms in the synagogue service that led to the inclusion of polyphonic music into the synagogue and eventually, to the incorporation of Sephardic melodies into Ashkenazic synagogue practice. The attempt to canonize the music of Ashkenazic Jews in England was manifested in the widely successful Handbook of Synagogue Music (1889, revised 1899). The second edition is the focus of this thesis. Edited by Francis Lyon Cohen and David M. Davis under the auspices of the United Synagogue and the Chief Rabbi, this volume included Ashkenazic pieces by English as well as non-English Jewish composers. Fifteen melodies of Sephardic origin from the Sephardic compilation The Ancient Melodies, compiled by David de Sola and Emanuel Aguilar in 1857, as well as from The Music Used in the service of the West London Synagogue of British Jews, compiled by Charles Verrinder in 1880 were included in the 1899 edition of the Handbook. This thesis examines the reasons these Sephardic melodies were chosen for inclusion by the editors of the Ashkenazic Handbook during a period of reform.

Les tâche de recherche principales de la dissertation sont d'analyser l'impact qui a eu la philosophie kantienne sur la pensée de Lazarus Bendavid (1762 - 1832) et sa philosophie du judaïsme. Le personnage de Bendavid étant très peu connu, nous présentons ainsi la première biographie complète de cet intellectuel de la Haskala et sa vie entre Berlin et Vienne. De même nous avons, pour la première fois, recherché son projet de Haskala à fin de mettre en lumière sa vision pour un Judaïsme individuel et autonome, son rôle important pour le Kantisme juif et son impact sur le processus d'évolution d'une identité juive allemande et, enfin, de la création de la Wissenschaft des Judentums. Il s'agit donc d'un projet à l'intersection de philosophie, histoire et études juives, qui, en examinant l'Aufklärung à Berlin et Vienne, recherche la biographie peu connu et l'oeuvre peu recherché d'un de ses intellectuels: Lazarus BendavidThe main goal of this dissertation is to analyse the influence Kantian philosophy had on the writings of Lazarus Bendavid (1762 - 1832) and his philosophy of Judaism. With this dissertation we introduce the first complete biography of Lazarus Bendavid and his life between Berlin and Vienna. We also offer the first thorough examination of his Haskala-project in order to shed light on his vision of an individual and autonomous Judaism, as well as his important role within Jewish Kantianism et his impact on the development and evolution of a German-Jewish identity and, lastly, the foundation of Wissenschaft des Judentums. This research project hence revolves around the intersection of philosophy, history and Jewish studies and, through examining the Enlightenment movements in Berlin and Vienna, researches the life and works of one of it's intellectuals who has, thus far, been neglected in Haskala-research: Lazarus Bendavid

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The arrival of a Protestant mission in Ethiopia during the 1850s marks a turning point in the history of the Falashas. Up until this point, they lived relatively isolated in the country, unaffected and unaware of the existence of world Jewry. Following this period and especially from the beginning of the twentieth century, the attention of certain Jewish individuals and organisations was drawn to the Falashas. This contact initiated a period of external interference which would ultimately transform the Falashas, an Ethiopian phenomenon, into Ethiopian Jews, whose culture, religion and identity became increasingly connected with that of world Jewry. It is the purpose of this thesis to examine the external influences that implemented and continued the process of transformation in Falasha society which culminated in their eventual emigration to Israel. The original research provides an in-depth insight into the processes which were set in motion among the Falashas during the course of the twentieth century. The thesis begins with a description of their religion, culture and identity before the Falashas' exposure to external influences, an analysis which is used to examine and interpret the modifications that subsequently took place in the Falashas' society. The missionaries' activities, which brought the Falashas to the attention of Western Jewry, are then examined. Considerable attention is devoted to Jacques Faitlovitch who was instrumental in developing the concept of an 'Ethiopian Jew.' His programmes and activities in Ethiopia and abroad, which were fundamental for the success of subsequent endeavours by Israeli organisations, are examined in detail. The Italian occupation of Ethiopia and its impact on the Falashas is also a topic thoroughly researched for the first time. Finally, the activities of Israeli organisations and their impact on the Falashas are examined. The conclusions of this thesis are based on the results of both archival research and interviews with Falashas and key personalities who worked with them before the 1960s.

Inspired by 2009 pastiche Inglourious Basterds (US/DE), my research presents counterfactual historical film, firstly, as a marginalised type of film: the 2000s and 2010s have seen an abundance of overtly fictional films which do not intend to represent the past but nonetheless playfully refer to imageries of National Socialist and Holocaust history. These films have so far been neglected by historical film studies which, despite a consensus not to judge films according to their factual accuracy, tend to focus on genres close to historiography. My research considers as historical films the counterfactual parodies Churchill: The Hollywood Years (GB 2004) and Mein Führer: Die wirklich wahrste Wahrheit über Adolf Hitler (DE 2007), as well as Inglourious Basterds and, in a brief conclusion, Nazi zombie films. In this sense, counterfactual historical film is, secondly, a research approach which suggests reconfiguring academic definitions of the field of history and film and historical film. Assuming that historical film never visualises past reality but engages with a history that is always already medialised, I propose that the above films despite their counterfactual plots embark on a visual historical discourse, and what is more reflect upon cinema and history in their own enlightening ways. My analyses show how twenty-first century counterfactual historical films revise Nazi and Holocaust visual history, and how they describe National Socialist history as visually constructed and historical Nazism as an eclectic amalgamation drawing on fictional as well as factual media sources. In regard to the present, they explore tensions between popular and academic culture through the dissolving binaries of fiction film and historiographical fact, and propose to recognise the reciprocity of media representation and actual past as an object of research in its own right. My research demonstrates the value of cinema's playful engagement with history as a potential contribution to the theory and practise of historical film studies.

Muitos estudos têm sido publicados sobre D. Pedro II, imperador do Brasil. Entretanto, alguns aspectos de sua vida não têm sido explorados mais profundamente: sua dedicação à literatura e aos estudos judaicos, sua preferência pelo idioma hebraico, entre outros que estudou durante sua vida, e seu desejo de conhecer as origens do Cristianismo através da análise dois textos bíblicos originais. D. Pedro era um intelectual, e tinha przeer em viajar com recursos próprios. Visitou o Oriente Médio e a Terra Santa, e sempre manteve contato com judeus de várias partes do mundo. O imperadr visitou sinagogas inúmeras vezes, paratomar parte na leitura da Torah. Foi membro de muitas instituições culturais, conforme mostrado por sua vasta correspondência. O imperador conviveu com escritores, artistas e cientidas de sue tempo, tendo sido patrono de alguns deles, como os músicos Carlos Gomes e Richard Wagner, os pintores Almeida Junior e Pedro Américo e os cientistas Louis Pasteur e Camile Flammarion. O Rabino Benjamim Mossé, seu biógrafo, esteve presente durante o exílio do imperador, dando-lhe textos hebraicos para traduzir. D.

D. Pedro II was an intellectual person and he enjoyed travelling around the world ate his own expense. He visited the Middle Esast and the Holy Land, and always kept contact with Jews from various parts of the world. The emperor was often found in synagogues taking part in the Torah read-ind and e was engaged as a member of cultural institutions, evidenced by his vast amount of correspondence. The Emperor lived with many writers, artists and scientists of this time. He was considered a patron to some of them like for example the musicians, Carlos Gomes and Richard Wagner, and the painters, Almeida Junior, Pedro Americo and the scienteists Louis Pasteur and Camille Flammarion. Rav. Benjamim Mossé, his biographer, met with D. Pedro II during his exile and gave him hebrew texts for translation. He found comfort from his sad exile in his Hebrew translations and coexistance with jews. D. Pedro II represented Brazil in a positive way among nations throughout the word

This thesis examines the relationship between Jews and Christians in the Holy Land from the age of Constantine the Great to the conquest of the eastern provinces by the Arabs from an archaeological viewpoint. At stake is a better understanding of how Jews adapted to changing times, particularly during the rise of Christianity in Palestine. Whereas earlier scholars have viewed the growth of the Byzantine empire as time of persecution toward the Jews, a re-evaluation of the archaeological evidence indicates that Jews prospered along with their Christian neighbors. In scope, this dissertation aims first to re-evaluate how many ancient building remains can be classified as synagogues, and how many of those can be accurately dated. For only after a solid body of archaeological research is firmly established can further progress be made toward our better understanding of the ancient world. Diversity in contemporaneous synagogue layouts, rather than a linear development throughout this period is the norm. Yet, in the sixth-century, one-third of all known synagogues in Palestine bear similar features to early Byzantine churches: basilical layouts, mosaic floors, apses, and chancel screens. Since no single fourth-century synagogue had an apse or chancel screen in its repertoire of furnishings, a reform must have taken place, which ultimately enhanced the synagogue. It has long been held that this change had originated under the influence of the growing Christian population in the Holy Land. Examining the nature of early Christian liturgical practice throws light on these changes to synagogues. For the focal point of the early Christian basilica, the altar in the sanctuary, separated from the hall by a chancel screen, was adapted by these Jewish communities. By placing the Torah Shrine in the apse of synagogues, the sacred nature of the Five Books of Moses was glorified. In focusing on the apse and niche it is suggested that rather than a positive influence toward the Jews, the deeply-rooted rivalry between Christianity and Judaism was the main implement for change. Jewish leaders built synagogues with apses and chancel screens to amplify and venerate the most important object in the hall - the Torah Scrolls - kept in the Torah Ark. Unlike earlier buildings, the Torah Shrine was set in the same position as the altar in churches, in the apse. Renovating interiors, changes to entrances, and new types of furnishings in synagogues were the physical changes to this institution which reflect the impact of Christian art on synagogues.

L’auteur de 4 Maccabées a combiné plusieurs sources, dont la principale est certainement 2 Maccabées. Il ne s’est pas contenté de reproduire le récit des martyres d’Éléazar et des sept frères, mais l’a réécrit en profondeur. Nous nous sommes efforcé de rendre compte de son travail rédactionnel en nous appuyant sur le modèle « des quatre registres (narratif, discursif, argumentatif, liturgique) » que nous avons élaboré à cette occasion. La théologie de 4 Maccabées se démarque de celle de 2 Maccabées : le lexique de la souveraineté y est transféré de Dieu à la Raison humaine qui, conformément aux représentations du stoïcisme tardif, est la partie supérieure de l’âme, qui a néanmoins besoin d’un guide, la Loi juive donnée par Dieu. Ce faisant, l’auteur de 4 Maccabées justifie paradoxalement une vision assez traditionnelle du Judaïsme en l’appuyant sur des conceptions empruntées à la culture dominante de langue grecqueThe author of 4 Maccabees has combined several sources, the main of which is certainly 2 Maccabees. He did not just reproduce the story of the martyrs of Eleazar and the seven brothers, but rewrote it in depth. We have endeavored to give an account of his editorial work by relying on the model of the four registers (narrative, discursive, argumentative, liturgical) that we have elaborated on this occasion. The theology of 4 Maccabees differs from that of 2 Maccabees : the lexicon of sovereignty is transferred from God to human Reason which, according to representations of late stoicism, is the upper part of the soul, which nevertheless needs a guide, the Jewish Law given by God. In doing so, the author of 4 Maccabees paradoxically justifies a rather traditional view of Judaism by relying on conceptions borrowed from the Greek speaking dominant culture

Le travail de thèse entreprend une reconstruction critique de la philosophie politique de Leo Strauss (1899-1973) en partant de ses écrits de jeunesse allemands, replacés dans leur contexte politique et philosophique d’émergence et particulièrement dans les mouvements de la « renaissance juive » des années 1920. Au lieu de comparer son œuvre à celle d’autres grands classiques de la philosophie politique du XXe siècle ou d’analyser ces textes de jeunesse à la lumière de sa réception aux États-Unis, où lui et ses disciples sont souvent associés au mouvement néoconservateur américain, il s’agit ici de voir comment son positionnement politico-philosophique spécifique se construit dans la confrontation au « dilemme théologico-politique » dans lequel la pensée juive-allemande est prise face à la radicalisation de l’antisémitisme allemand pendant et après la Première Guerre Mondiale : judaïsme national ou judaïsme religieux ? Dans ses premiers écrits des années 1920, Strauss transforme cette opposition en celle entre Lumières et orthodoxie, entre athéisme et théisme, opposition qu’il ne cessera de vouloir dépasser à travers la construction d’un « athéisme biblique ». Nous montrons que ce n’est cependant que dans les années 1930, après son « tournant platonicien », que Strauss trouvera, par l’intermédiaire d’une nouvelle interprétation de Maïmonide, sa solution au « dilemme théologico-politique », sur des bases philosophiques pré-modernes. Avec le retour à ces Lumières platoniciennes, Strauss tente d’harmoniser Lumières et anti-Lumières, la défense du rationalisme et la justification d’un ordre théologico-politique autoritaire, projet paradoxal qui forme le cœur de son néoconservatisme philosophiqueMy thesis undertakes a critical reconstruction of the political philosophy of Leo Strauss (1899-1973) on the basis of his early writings, which I contextualize in the political and philosophical frame of the Weimar Republic and the “German-Jewish Renaissance” of the 1920s. My main hypothesis is that his concept of ”political philosophy” emerges from a confrontation with the “theological-political dilemma” that German-Jewish thought faced after the First World War, the radicalization of German Anti-Semitism and the problem of being torn between national and religious Judaism. I argue that in his early writings of the 1920s, Strauss transforms this dilemma into the opposition between Enlightenment and orthodoxy, atheism and theism that he tries to overcome in the form of an “biblical atheism”. In the 1930s, after his “Platonic turn”, Strauss finds another solution to the “dilemma”, now on pre-modern philosophical grounds, through a new interpretation of Maimonides. With the return to this “platonic” Enlightenment, Strauss tries to harmonize anti-Enlightenment and Enlightenment, pre-modern rationalism and the justification of authoritarian theological-political order. My argument ist that this paradoxical project is the core of his philosophical neo-conservatism

The thesis will examine the influence of Biblical literature on some of the novels of George Eliot. In doing so it will consider the following aspects of Eliot criticism: current theoretical debate about the use of midrash; modes of discourse and narrative style; prophetic language and vision; the influence of Judaism and Jewish exegetical methods on Adam Bede, "The Lifted Veil", The Mill on the Floss, Felix Holt, and Daniel Deronda. Literary critics have, for a long time, been interested in the influence of the Bible and Biblical hermeneutics on literature and the extent to which Biblical narratives and themes are used typologically and allegorically in fiction has been well researched. In this regard, the concept of midrash is not a new one in literary theory. It refers both to a genre of writing and to an ancient Rabbinic method of exegesis. It has, however, been given new meaning by literary critics and theoriticians such as Frank Kermode, Harold Bloom, and Jacques Derrida. In The Genesis of Secrecy, Kermode gives a new nuance to the word and demonstrates how it may be used to read not only Biblical stories but secular literature as well. It is an innovative, self-reflexive, and intricate hermeneutic processs which has been used by scholars such as Geoffrey Hartman and Sanford Budick, editors of Midrash and Literature, a seminal work in this thesis. Eliot's interest in Judaism and her fascination with religion, religious writing, and religious characters are closely connected to her understanding of the novelist's role as an interpreter of stories. In this regard, the prophetic figure as poet, seer, and interpreter of the past, present, and future of society is of special significance. The thesis will investigate Eliot's reinterpretation of this important Biblical type as well as her retelling of Biblical stories. It will attempt to establish the extent to which Eliot's work may be called midrash, and enter the current debate on how and why literary works have been and can be interpreted. It will address the questions of why Eliot, who abjures normative religious faith, has such a profound interest in the Bible, how the Bible serves her creative purposes, why she is interested in Judaism, and to what extent the latter informs and permeates her novels.

Cette thèse analyse les rapports culturels complexes entre le monde juif et le monde polonais en Pologne dans les années 1885-1939 à la lumière des traductions du polonais vers le yiddish et du yiddish vers le polonais. Les acteurs culturels concernés sont les Juifs polonais face à la société majoritaire, donc d’un point de vue linguistique les yiddishophones face aux polonophones, ainsi que les milieux juifs d’expression polonaise et yiddish. La thèse aborde divers aspects des contacts culturels : les représentations des Juifs dans la littérature polonaise et celle des Polonais dans la littérature yiddish, la traduction de la littérature mondiale en yiddish, ainsi que l’attitude envers cette langue en Pologne. Elle traite aussi, dans un large contexte socioculturel, de la traduction littéraire dans les deux sens, y compris dans la création théâtrale et l’édition pour enfants. Ce que l’on peut en conclure, c’est le grand intérêt du public yiddishophone pour la culture polonaise. Les traductions du yiddish en polonais attirent peu d’attention de la part des non-Juifs, mais constituent un important facteur identitaire pour des Juifs polonisésThis thesis analyzes the complex cultural relations between the Jewish world and the Polish world in Poland in the years 1885-1939 as seen through translations from Polish to Yiddish and from Yiddish to Polish. The persons concerned in this process are the Polish Jews as opposed to the majority population or, from a linguistic point of view, Yiddish speakers in contrast with the Polish-speaking majority, as well Jewish circles in which Yiddish and Polish were spoken. The thesis touches on various aspects of these cultural contacts: the representation of Jews in Polish literature and of Poles in Yiddish literature, the translation of world literature into Yiddish, and the attitude toward the Yiddish language in Poland. It also deals with literary translation in both directions viewed in a broad socio-cultural context, including theatrical creation and children’s literature. The conclusion that can be drawn is that of a great interest in Polish culture on the part of the Yiddish-speaking public. As for translations from Yiddish to Polish, they attract little attention from non-Jews but constitute an important factor in the identity of assimilated Jews

Constructed Reality: A Critical Discourse Analysis of News Texts Surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict After the United States’ Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel. Within hours the American announcement was international news with an almost unanimous UN Security Council condemning the act. The purpose of this study is to examine how the conflict is constructed in news articles from Sweden's two largest daily newspapers as well as two largest evening papers, ranging a week from the US recognition of Jerusalem. The study is conducted with a starting point in theoretical perspectives that deal with the media’s influence of people's perceptions of reality and their world view. The methods applied are first and foremost the overarching model of critical discourse analysis, with a combination of quantitative content analysis and qualitative text analysis. The study concludes that overwhelmingly, the newspapers represented the parties involved (Israelis and Palestinians) in a balanced, neutral fashion. The newspapers were however not as balanced and neutral when it came to which sources were cited.

This study investigates the Jewish and Christian influences in the eschatological imagery of one of Islam's major sources of tradition literature, the compendium known as Al-Jami' al-Sahid h or Sahid h Muslim. The focus will be on five main areas: the intermediate state between death and resurrection, the second advent of Jesus Christ, the Antichrist, The Last Days, and Resurrection and Heaven. The broad methodology will be to analyse the language of the Qur'an without dogmatic refraction, and then compare that document's world view against the later Hadith. If a difference is noted, Jewish and Christian literature will be examined for provenance. Given the fluidity of the Judaisms and Christianities in the Muslim lands of the first three centuries of Islam and the resultant difficulty in identifying any belief as being peculiar to a particular source, attempts will only be made at identifying concepts as generally Jewish and/or Christian, and examples will be cited to support this contention. In conclusion, after a summary of the eschatological perspectives of the Qur'an and the Hadith, an attempt will be made to identify the specific genre of eschatology imaged in the latter.

Contrary to later Muslim tradition, the first Muslims initially looked favorably upon assimilating Jewish and Christian religious and cultural practices. As Muslim collective religious identity conjoined with political power, Muslims changed their religious policy from imitation to distinction; they began to define themselves both above and against their arch-religious rivals. They visibly and publicly materialized their unique brand of monotheism into a distinct religious community.
This dissertation is the first attempt to map the Muslim religious discourse that expressed this deliberate turn away from Jews, Christians, and others across pre-modern Islamic history. First, I argue that this discourse functions as a prism through which to view the interplay of religion and politics; a key function of both empire and religion in a pre-modern Muslim context was to uphold hierarchical social distinctions. Next, I show that Muslims imagined these distinctions in very concrete terms. In contrast to conventional studies that emphasize the role of abstract doctrine in making Islam a distinct religion, this study highlights the aesthetic mediation of Muslim distinction through everyday quotidian practice such as dress, hairstyle, ritual, festivals, funerary rites, and bodily gestures - what Sigmund Freud has called, "The Narcissism of Minor Differences." These acts of distinction illustrate that Muslim religious identity was not shaped in a social and cultural vacuum; its construction overlapped with that of ethnicity, gender, class, and the even the human. What this study reveals, then, is how Muslims attempted to fashion more than just a distinct religion, but an ideal moral order, or social imaginary. In this robust Muslim social imaginary, human beings were mimetic creatures; becoming, or subject-formation, was inextricably related to belonging, being part of a community. Despite the conscious attempt of religious scholars to normalize Muslim distinction, this study contests that both elite and ordinary Muslims continued to imitate, and ultimately assimilate, foreign practices within a Near Eastern cultural landscape of sharedness.
Drawing upon approaches from religious studies, history, and anthropology, this interdisciplinary study foregrounds both text and theory. It interweaves theories of difference, imitation (mimesis), power, embodiment, semiotics and aesthetics with a broad range of Arabic literary texts spanning theology, law, Quranic exegesis, prophetic traditions, ethics, mysticism, historical chronicles, and biography. More specifically, this study highlights the critical role of prophetic utterances (hadith) in shaping the Islamic discourses of Shari'a and Sufism. It foregrounds the contributions of two pre-modern Damascene religious scholars in their historical contexts: the controversial Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328), and the underappreciated Najm al-Din al-Ghazzi; (d. 1651), who authored a remarkable encyclopedia of mimesis and distinction hitherto ignored in both Euro-American and Islamic scholarship.

My interest in the process and effects of the witnessing act guides the purpose of this
study. Here, I initiate a deeper understanding of the vicarious witnessing experience from the
perspective of the witnessing participant. My central question is: How do individuals make
sense of vicariously witnessing trauma through narrative, visual, and evidence-based
representations of traumatic events in the concentration camps of Europe?
Vicarious witnessing begins with abstract representations of the event. The evidence is
witnessed firsthand, but the event itself is represented through various perspectives such as
photographic or artistic images, survivor stories, or physical remnants. Witnessing the evidence
evokes a potent embodied experience, so that a person can make the statement, "I have
imagined what another has experienced, hence I believe I know." It is through the imagination
that a witness forms a picture of the trauma. Undoubtedly, there is immense power in meeting
another's experience in the realm of imagination. Compassionate action and social justice is
based in this area of human empathy.
To best achieve my purpose, I use a narrative method that involves two types of
analysis, interpretive readings and narrative instances, as an approach to understand the
participant's experience of vicarious witnessing. Participants in this study construct three types
of narrative texts-written, spoken, and visual. Each textual perspective shapes the meaning that
the participant attempts to express. As a first level of analysis, interpretive readings of the texts
include general, specific, visual, and relational readings. Secondly, through exploring the
interaction between various parts of these texts, and between the texts themselves, I explore
three types of narrative instances--single-text, intratextual, and intertextual. Each analysis of a
narrative instance is matched specifically to each participant, and I believe, is uniquely
adequate for understanding the experience of vicarious witnessing.
My inquiry outlines how individuals make sense of vicariously witnessing trauma,
clarifies the meaning that participants make of the vicarious witnessing experience, shows the
risks and coping involved in vicarious witnessing, and presents the kinds of social action that
vicarious witnessing evokes. In the field of counselling psychology, the witnessing experience
is an important aspect of trauma theory that has been left unexplored by psychologists. My
research enlarges the social and theoretical conversation concerning the vicarious witnessing
experience.

This thesis discusses the work of the author Lily Brett, both in terms of the themes explored in her writing, and the political and historical contexts. The interrelationships between history, memory, identity and literature are explored in order to explain both the themes of Brett's writing, and how this writing is shaped by, and shapes, contemporary discourses on Jewish identity and the Holocaust.

The subject of this thesis is the development of Holocaust
commemoration in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia in the
period between 1943-1975. In much of the current literature, the
two decades following the Second World War are considered to have
been a time when the Holocaust was virtually absent from the public
discourse of North American Jewry. Commemoration, according to
this view, is said to have been a private affair limited to
survivors, a situation which changed only after the appearance of
neo-Nazism in the early 1960s, the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961,
and particularly in the wake of the Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and
1973.
Based on my own study of the oral and documentary materials
pertaining to Warsaw Ghetto memorials in Vancouver, I argue that
these assessments, which are largely based on the official
announcements and priorities of the national Jewish leadership, are
of limited value in a community context, where there is evidence of
a considerable variety of responses to the murder of European Jewry
long before the awareness-raising events said to have initiated
"Holocaust consciousness".

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
abstract: Maintaining sexual desire as the marriage endures is a challenge, especially as it involves the interplay of seemingly opposing tensions of novelty, autonomy, and closeness. Difficulties can arise when autonomy, which requires spousal distancing, is perceived as a martial threat and therefore suppressed. This dissertation investigates whether prosocial marital distancing can nurture autonomy and promote sexual desire.
Torah-observant Jewish married couples practice family purity, a Jewish law forbidding sexual relations during menstruation and shortly thereafter. During this time couples often avoid sleeping in the same bed, physical touch, and behaviors that can instigate a sexual encounter. These distancing restrictions are lifted when the wife immerses in a ritual bath. The process repeats at the next menstruation.
This research examined the effects of family purity’s marital distancing through two studies. The first involved qualitative interviews of family purity wives (N = 10) guided by relational dialectics theory (Baxter & Montgomery, 1996). Study one findings suggest that family purity wives navigate the three tensions of integration, expression, and certainty. Study one also revealed a new tension, the dialect of restraint. The dialectic of restraint appears to enhance marital communication, heighten the appreciation for the mundane, and help sustain sexual desire.
Study two, the quantitative phase of the research, applied self-expansion theory (Aron & Aron, 1986) to investigate differences between family purity and non-family purity couples. A sample of 90 married Jewish dyads (N = 180) participated in a cross-sectional online questionnaire. Findings suggest that while non-practicing couples report greater self-expansion, family purity couples report greater sexual closeness. Family purity couples also report the same closeness and sexual closeness ideals, whereas non-practicing couples reported divergent ideals. Non-practicing family purity husbands had the greatest reported discrepancy between ideal and actual sexual closeness.
The combined findings suggest that sanctioned prosocial distancing as practiced by family purity couples enables the integration of cognitive growth and mitigates the threat of autonomy. Prosocial distancing within the family purity marriage appears to provide the wife space for autonomy that in turn provokes novelty and sexual desire. Findings are discussed in relation to theoretical contributions, study limitations, and future directions.Dissertation/Thesis

Angelology emerged under the domination of Jewish groups. Reconstructing a brief history for Jewish groups of the Second Temple Period is necessary to ascertain which Jewish group may be
aligned with the angelology of 1 Enoch. Moreover, angelology developed within this natural historical context. An exploration of the tradition of angelology includes angelic origins, their functions in the
Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint, possible mythical associations, and speculation about why angels surfaced within Israelite religion. Examining the background, structure, and contents of 1 Enoch will
ensconce the Enochic writings, within the Second Temple Period. Various theories exist concerning the origins, genre, and characteristics of the apocalyptic. Although there is no agreement about these issues, I propose that 1 Enoch exhibits an apocalyptic perspective. While the notion of angels possibly
appeared early in Semitic literature, a proliferation of angelology developed by the time of the writing of the books of I Enoch. It is judicious to examine which group possibly produced the Enochic
corpus and pos&1"ble reasons for an increase in angelic speculation within these writings.
It is my conviction that 1Enoch6 was dependent upon Genesis 6:1-4, which seived as a midrash of this earlier mythical tradition. I aspire to validate that both Genesis 6: 1-4 and the Book
ofW atchers exhibits priestly concerns that are in sync with the Pentateuch. Priestly interests evident in the Enochic tradition may suggest the writer was a priest, who sought to address contentious issues involving the Jerusalem priesthood of his time. I believe this research is necessary to establish that Enoch's angelology influenced late Second Temple Jewish society. This is evidenced within
subsequent Jewish literatures, which display Enochic angelic concepts, and reflects the belief system of a segment of Jewish society during that time. I am appreciative of the University of South Africa,
the examining committee, and professor Spangenberg for their guidance.Biblical and Ancient Studies

The thesis is concerned with two issues, modern messiahs and their appeal, namely the highly successful Rebbe M.M. Schneerson from Chabad; and hostile, modern day, militant messianists and their beliefs, namely the USA Christian evangelicals and their rapture belief. The study directs attention at the three successful (in the sense that their movements survived their deaths) Jewish Messiahs, the 1st century Jesus, the 17th century Sabbatai Sevi and the present day, but recently deceased (1994) Rebbe Schneerson. The focus in the study falls on the latter two Jewish Messiahs, especially Rebbe Schneerson and Chabad, from Crown Heights, New York, whose messianic beliefs and conduct the thesis has been able to follow in real time. The thesis argues that Rebbe Schneerson and Chabad‟s extreme messianic beliefs and praxis, and the marked similarities that exist between all three Jewish Messiahs and their followers indicate that Chabad will probably, over time, become another religion removed from Judaism.
The thesis notes that the three Jewish Messiahs share a similar messiah template, the “„suffering servant‟ messiah” template. The thesis argues that this template is related to the wide appeal and success of these three Jewish messiahs, as it offers their followers the option of vicarious atonement which relieves people from dealing with their own transgressions and permits people to evade the demanding task of assuming personal accountability for all their actions, including their transgressions.
The recommendations in this thesis are prompted by the “wall of deafening silence” which is the result of political correctness and the “hands off religion” position, that prevents debate or censure of hostile militant messianism, despite the inherent dangers and high cost attached to the praxis of hostile, militant messianism and militant messianists‟ belief in exclusive apocalyptic scenarios, in modern, multicultural and democratic societies. The thesis argues this situation is not tenable and that it needs to be addressed, especially where modern day, hostile, militant messianists, unlike their predecessors at Qumran, now have access to the military and to military hardware, including nuclear warheads, and are able to hasten the End Times should they simply choose to do so.Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies
