„…ER SELBST WOLLTE IM DUNKEL WOHNEN.“ (1 KÖN 8,12): GOTTES WOHNEN IN JERUSALEM AUS DER PERSPEKTIVE DER GESCHICHTLICHEN ÜBERLIEFERUNGEN IN SAMUELIS UND REGUM

Author(s): Constantin Oancea / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2015

The belief that God dwells in the Temple was the fundamental assertion of the Zion Theology in pre-exilic Jerusalem. Such a conception, often stated in psalms and exemplary reflected in Ps 46 and Isaiah 6, enjoyed not only positive but also critical reaction in the writings of the Old Testament. After an incursion into Early Christian literature about Jerusalem, this paper analyses how the conception about God’s dwelling in Jerusalem is reflected in Samuel (1 Sam 4-6; 2 Sam 6; 2 Sam 7) and Kings (1 Kgs 8).

„…rozmawiałem z Bogiem (uśmiechacie się! tylko z nim mogę jeszcze rozmawiać!)”. Modlitewne lamentacje w pamiętniku Karola Rotgebera z getta warszawskiego

Author(s): Jacek Leociak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 15/2019

A merchant and dental technician, Karol Rotgeber wrote his Warsaw ghetto memoir while hiding on the ‘Aryan’ side between April and June 1943. The fragments of the memoir presented here were selected mostly to show the thread of religious meditations which intertwines with a narration about the fate of the author, his family, and the Warsaw ghetto community. Two different discourse orders clash in Rotgeber’s text: the diarist narration and the prayer-lamentation dimension. They co-exist. They do not merge or overlap, but intertwine with each other. There is no transition between them. The diarist narration is suddenly interrupted with an ejaculatory prayer, a supplication, a complaint, a call for help and revenge, a confession of faith, or an act of hope. And then, equally suddenly and without a warning, Rotgeber resumes his previous thread, comes back to the everyday life in the ghetto, a list of tortures and persecutions, to the concrete and the topography, and his private life.

„Țâța creștinelor nu e pentru prunci evrei”: segregarea forței de muncă în Iași (1867-1870)

Author(s): Mihai Chiper / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 9/2017

The situation of the Romanian servants employed by Jews represented a problematic issue of antisemitism in the second half of the 19th century. The hierarchy master-servant reflected a standpoint about the position that the Jews were meant to have in society. The present paper approaches the legislative resources relating to the segregation of the labour force according to ethnic criteria, under the influence of the economic nationalism ideas embraced by the Romanian bourgeoisie and by the local authorities of Iași. The most reprehensible category was considered to be that of the women in the service of Jews as wet nurses, a case with a wider religious and cultural substratum. First the Orthodox clergy, then the local authorities estimated that the Jewish cultural borrowings and the wet nurses’ living in the Israeli communities represented a risk of losing traditions and religion, as well as a means of denatio-nalisation. The situation highlights the essential contribution that the xenophobic metaphoric imagination played in the mid-19th century – the projection of nation as a family, and particularly as a mother, while the “breast of mother-country” was an obsessively used phrase in the Romanian patriotic, cultural, poetic and political discourse. Politically speaking, in the eyes of the anti-Semites, the breastfeeding of Jewish babies by Romanian wet nurses was comparable to an act of ethnic disloyalty, with subversive outcomes upon the national project.

なぜロシア･シオニストは文化的自治を 批判したのか ― シオニズムの「想像の文脈」とオーストリア･マルクス主義民族理論 ―

Author(s): Taro Tsurumi / Language(s): Japanese / Issue: 57/2010

The Russian Zionist movement and the Bund (Jewish Labor Union) were rivals in Jewish politics in the Russian Empire. While they both attempted to improve the status of Jews within the Empire by participating in the Russian political arena, an important difference resided in the Zionists’ insistence on the need for a territory for Jews. On the surface, the cause of this difference seems evident: the Zionists conceived of the system of nation-state, whereas the Bundists considered a multi-national statehood, in which Jews would play a part. In this respect, it is well known that the Bundists referred to the Austro-Marxist theory of nationality, initiated by Karl Kautsky and developed by Karl Renner and Otto Bauer, which assumed a multi-national statehood. The theories developed by the latter two are known for their application of the “personal principle” within the context of multi-national statehood. However, the Russian Zionists, especially those involved in the organ Rassvet, also referred to these theories in a positive light. That is, the Zionists also conceived of multi-national contexts, within which multiple nations (nationalities) would reside in a state; moreover, they did not reject Renner and Bauer’s theories, combining the “personal principle” with the “territorial principle” in solving national problems within a state. What, then, was the difference between the Bundists’ perceived context – called in this article an “imagined context” – and that of the Zionists? Furthermore, what made the Zionists criticize the Bundists’ program of “cultural autonomy”? The Russian Zionists – Zionists involved in the Russian Zionist Organization and Russian Zionist journals such as Evreiskaia Zhizn’ (monthly) and Rassvet – also strove to achieve the participation of Jews in Russian imperial politics and foresaw the continuous existence of Jews in the Empire. The main figures whose arguments are discussed in the present article are G. Abramovich, D. Pasmanik, V. Jabotinsky, M. M. A. Hartglas, and A. Idelson, who were prominent Zionist activists and major contributors to Zionist publications. Although some scholars have indicated an affinity between the program of autonomy of the Zionists in the Empire and the Austro-Marxist theory, this article proves that the Russian Zionists actually used the theory within their “imagined context” and criticized the Bundist “cultural autonomy.” By doing so, this article focuses on the Russian Zionists’ emphasis on the “social.”
