Zatočenici zla: zaveštanje Hane Arent

Author(s): / Language(s): Serbian

Hannah Arendt was one of the foremost political thinkers of the twentieth century. This collection examines the themes of her multi-faceted work, from her theory of totalitarianism, revolution as a ‘new beginning’, conception of freedom, responsibility, guilty, and her controversial idea of the ‘banality of evil’. Each chapter examines the political, philosophical, and historical concerns which shaped Arendt’s thought, and which promoted her to become one of the most unapologetic champions of the modern political life in the Western traditions.

Mutatkozás

The individual and collective identity of the Jews is a well-established subject of research in sociology, social psychology and social history. This book differs from other studies in exploring Jewish identity through the coexistence of Jews with non-Jews in Hungary. It presents the “Jewishness” of such individuals and families who live in mixed marriages, in which the Jewish origin of one party (be it public or secret) becomes a source of peculiar identities. Through coexistence, Jewishness acquires new meanings ranging from a more intense identity, through abandoning or changing Jewish identity, to self-hatred and latent anti-Semitism. The book examines the changing use of various Jewish symbols, rituals and objects (e.g., Star of David, circumcision, Menorah). It is the first study in Hungary, which deals with the “Jewish identity” of non-Jews, philo-Semitism and pseudo-Jewish identity in mixed marriages. Also, it strives to bring the traumas of the Shoah in public debate by analysing it from the perspective of coexistence. Thereby, the book presents the guilty conscience of the children and grandchildren of the perpetrators, which has not been analysed in Hungary yet. Finally, the rediscovery of Jewish identity, a process that also includes some distancing from that identity is examined in a biographical context – a novelty in Jewish Studies in Hungary as well.

Dislokácie Židov z Bratislavy na jeseň 1941

Author(s): Katarína Mešková Hradská / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Predseda Ústredného hospodárskeho úradu (ÚHÚ) Augustín Morávek vydal v Úradných novinách 4. októbra 1941 vyhlášku o povinnosti Židov vysťahovať sa z Bratislavy2 a o ich nasťahovaní sa do obcí (miest), ktoré budú uvedené v dislokačných opatreniach Ústredne Židov (ÚŽ) alebo iných príslušných úradov. Sťahovacia povinnosť sa predbežne netýkala štátnych a verejných zamestnancov – Židov, pokiaľ boli v aktívnej službe, ich manželov (manželky) a ich detí, ktoré žili v spoločnej domácnosti s nimi. Výnimky sa vzťahovali aj na osoby poberajúce štátne a verejné výslužné platy, ako aj na židovských partnerov Nežidov, pokiaľ sa dalo dokázať, že v skutočnosti spolu žijú. Od povinnosti vysťahovať sa boli oslobodení aj majitelia hospodárskych podnikov, členovia verejných obchodných a komoditných spoločností a ich rodinní príslušníci. Osoby podliehajúce vysťahovaniu sa museli do ôsmych dní od uverejnenia vyhlášky prihlásiť na ÚŽ, ktorú ÚHÚ poveril dislokácie organizovať.3 Povereníkom ÚHÚ pre dislokácie sa stal Anton Ladvenica, ktorý celú akciu sledoval a aj usmerňoval na základe správ, ktoré získaval z ÚŽ.

Otto Stobbe und die Rechtsgeschichte der Juden

Author(s): Guido Kisch / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

Hardly any part of the history of the Jews has so far been as neglected as the legal history of the Jews in medieval and modern times. It is a special, however very large scientific area, even an independent science with wide branching, comprising an era of about one and a half millennia, based on both history as well as on law, offering an undreamt-of abundance of legal historical material and historical, legal and sociological problems presents. These aspects have almost entirely eluded, even to the present day, any systematic scientific work, any historical collection, judicial comprehension and sociological lighting. And yet today, less than ever, a particular justification for the importance of this field of research is needed.

Or Sarua als Geschichtsquelle

Author(s): J. Kahan / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

A source not unimportant to the history of the Jews in the Middle Ages are the responses and the decisoric works of the Jewish scholars. It is true that the historical moment in the treatment of the historical substance takes a back seat, because both the questioner and the spender of the ans-wer are concerned with the decision of the ritual law, but the historical core is all the more diffe-rent from the treated law topic. (Comprehensive in the Yearbook of the Society, VIII, B. Suler "Rabbinische Geschichtsquellen p. 27 ff.) In this regard, the work of Rabbi Yitzhak Or Sarua deserves special attention.

Rabbinische Geschichtsquellen

Author(s): B. Suler / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

The excerpts from 33 Responses of Rabbi Israel ben R. Chajim Bruna used here are divided into 21 pieces according to the individual events, each piece comprising the entire material, even if it is taken from various responses, which refers to the relevant event. The majority of them are of great and greatest importance for the history or cultural history of the Jews in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia in the 15th century. Here is a brief overview of the content and the value of the more important pieces of interest to us, which should also serve as an explanation of the events and instructions for a deeper understanding of the context.

Zwei Beiträge zur Geschichte des Frankismus in den böhmischen Ländern

Author(s): Wenzel Žáček / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this work is not to set out in detail the basics and presuppositions of Jewish mysticism; nor is it our intention to detail the curriculum of the leaders of Sabbatianism, Sabbatai Zewi and Jakob Josef Frank and their prominent confessors. In our narrative we only want to limit ourselves to a concise overview of the lives of the two sectarians and their basic doctrines. In more detail, we only want to deal with those times when their heresies began to invade the Bohemian lands, and describe how they were received here and what attacks and struggles they faced here. That's why our study is in two parts. The first part will contain a brief overview of the life and teachings of Jakob Josef Frank with a more detailed account of his stay in Moravia, written on the basis of new and previously unused material. The second part will be dedicated to the end of Frank's life and especially the persecution of his Prague followers by the advocates of the ruling Jewish orthodoxy around 1800; Also for this purpose previously unknown archive sources were used. The dogmatic side of these struggles remains unnoticed, because the ideological and religious content of the teachings of Frank and the religious foundations of Sabbatai Zewi are not connected with the history of Jewry in the Bohemian lands, but are well known from the previous literature. The present work will pay particular attention to essential events and real facts in order to enrich historical knowledge about the spread of Frankism and its propaganda in the Czech lands. The events are to be faithfully described according to the sources, without the intention of favoring any of the hostile parties; sharp failures against one or the other party will always be only the echo of the sources in their wording or in faithful paraphrase.

Zur Geschichte der Juden in Teltsch

Author(s): Michael Rachmuth / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

The history of the Jewish community in Telč (Moravia), which numbered 93 souls as late as 1921, has not yet been published, with the exception of a few short notes by Beringer and Janousek on the history of the city and the rule of Teltsch (Telč). And yet the history of this small Jewish community provides us with events of general interest. So the otherwise seldom found fact that in 1651 the city purchased from its landlord Wilhelm Count Slawata the establishment of a numerus clausus of only three Jewish families by obliging them to pay a Jewish tax (Židoplat) per 30 fl to be paid to the count's pension in two half-yearly installments. The trial of the brothers Josef and Moses Hesky, who were accused of fraudulent bankruptcy in 1667, is neither without general interest, since a case of magistrate justice against bankrupt Jews, if the believers were Christians, is presented here. Finally, we are also shown that Christian tradespeople repeatedly complained about the competition of the Jewish traders against the competition of Jewish merchants, not only the authorities and the state authorities, but also that the latter in their shops (as in a modern department store) peddle a larger number of different categories of commodities. Also interesting are the reasons which the Teltsch Jews cite for the fact that the Jewish trader does not specialize in a single type of commodity in his trade like the Christian one.

Von den Anfängen des Vereines für Verbesserung des israelitischen Kultus in Böhmen

Author(s): František Roubík / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

On March 25, 1832, the wealthy Prague Jewish merchant Jakob Dormitzer, probably under the influence of a request in the Prague newspaper of March 1 of the same year, which will be discussed further, presented a memorandum to the Prague Gubernial Presidium to carry out the necessary improvements to Jewish customs and conventions, and did not even shy away from the then revolutionary proposal to postpone the Jewish Sabbath holiday to Sunday in order to assimilate the Jews of the Christian population. All the better Jews - Dormitzer argued - would realize that it was necessary to remove from Jewish customs everything that is inappropriate today and has its origins in times of long persecution and contemptuous treatment of the Jews. In grateful remembrance of the fact that the Austrian government was the first in Europe to call the Jews to defend their country, Dormitzer recommended the introduction of Reformed Jewish worship in the Vienna and Pester Muster synagogues and the relocation of the Saturday holiday to Sunday, an amendment whose permissibility and usefulness are allegedly proven by strict orthodox principles. Dormitzer relied in support of his radical proposal on a booklet of Chief Rabbi Aron Chorin from Arad: "The faithful messenger to his fellow religious", of which he enclosed a copy in his memorandum and in which he himself (on page 16) is quoted with his views under the pseudonym Jakob. Of course, Dormitzer's unusual proposal required a thorough consideration by the provincial authorities, who were always very cautious in Jewish matters in order to avoid, in particular, the awakening of religious passions He did not, however, express any concern that the Jewish religious leaders might object to Dormitzer's radical suggestion, and therefore called on the town captain to discuss both the mayor of Prague and the Antra Gierer and some more educated Prague Jews, especially on the question whether the transfer of the Jewish holiday to Sunday according to religious principles was permissible at all.

Der gelbe Fleck in Prag

Author(s): L. Moses / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

Tobias Jakobovits has dedicated an in-depth study of the Jewish badges in Bohemia. (Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Juden…, Vol III., Prag 1931, pp.. 145 ff.) Amongst these badges, the yellow spot ordered by Maria Theresia in 1750 played its defamatory role the longest and only in 1781 did this remnant of a bad time disappear. Jakobovits shows in detail the drudgery that arose the Prague Jews from occasional violations of the ordinance, which was directed primarily against the unmarried Jews, since the married people were already marked by the beards. In addition to the files which he refers to, which relate to the yellow spot, there are also some documents in the Vienna State Archives of the Interior and the Judiciary, which record the facts of some transgressions of this kind and are therefore extensively communicated here as a supplement to the work of Jakobovits.

The religious history of north and east Syria includes not only Muslims,Christians and Yazidis, but also Jews, mainly connected with the Jewish community of Nusaybin on the Turkish side of the present Syrian-Turkish border crossing at Qamishli (Kurdish: Qamişlo). Although indigenous Jews no longer live in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria,the region’s cultural and religious diversity include a Jewish heritage.

Peta kolona

Author(s): Gideon Levy / Language(s): Serbian

Ultraortodoksna zajednica (haredim) oduvek izaziva žestoke kritike sekularnih izraelskih građana. Njihova različitost, zatvorenost, njihovi neobični običaji i vođe koji mumlaju molitve, staromodna odeća, odnos prema ženama, odbijanje da rade i služe vojni rok (ne daj bože!), to što njihova deca uče po odvojenom školskom programu – sve to neprekidno doliva ulje na vatru. Mržnja prema njima je slepa, preterana i neprikladna. Ponekad se graniči sa antisemitizmom. Reči koje se izgovaraju protiv njih su ružne i nepristojne, među najgorima koje se čuju u javnom prostoru.

Ultraorthodox Jews in Israel – epidemic as a measure of challenges

Author(s): Marek Matusiak / Language(s): English

In Israel as in other countries, when the COVID-19 epidemic surfaced it exacerbated the existing divisions and tensions in society. A group that came under severe attack from the public was the Jewish Ultraorthodox population (the Haredi). This was due to disregard on the part of certain ultra orthodoxgroups of the restrictions imposed in response to the epidemic and an exceptionally high infection rate in that community – as much as 70% of cases recorded from February until May this year affected members of that community.

Od telefona do prenosa uživo: kako postati fizička sinagoga, ali bez zidova

Author(s): Bracha Yael / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Preko dvije hiljade godina, sinagoga je bila dom jevrejskoj zajednici, a time je imala odgovornost da ispunjava duhovne, intelektualne i emocionalne potrebe svojih pripadnika. Zajednica je središnja ideja judaizma; kako kaže jevrejska feministička teologinja pionirka Judith Plaskow: “Odnos s Bogom je posredovan zajednicom i izražava se u zajednici”. U srži je zavjetnog odnosa između Boga i ljudi.

Isus i Samarijanka

Author(s): Tanja Grabovac / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Radikalnost povijesnog djelovanja Židova Isusa Krista pokazuje se, između ostalog, nekonvencionalnim ponašanjem prema ženama u tadašnjem patrijarhalnom društvu. Radikalnost ne dotiče samo njega, nego su primjer radikalnosti sve revolucionarne žene koje su napuštale svoje domove (što je bilo apsolutno neprimjereno ponašanje) kako bi bile u krugu Isusovih učenica. Vjeri u uskrsnuće, temelju i vrhuncu kršćanske vjere, svjedočile su žene. Njih je, pak, tadašnje židovstvo smatralo nepouzdanim u svjedočenju te zbog toga nisu mogle biti svjedokinje na sudu. Ipak su odabrane da svjedoče fundament kršćanske vjere. (Brown, 1996: 137) Iako su povijest i pisana riječ zanemarivale važnost žena koje su okruživale Isusa, on je zajedno s njima sudjelovao u revolucionarnom uvođenju žena u temelje vjere koja nadilazi spolne i rodne podjele. Isus je s pojedinim ženama iz evanđelja razgovarao i otvarao se o bitnim vjerskim iskustvima, kao s nijednim muškarcem. Primjer su Samarijanka, Kanaanka, Marija iz Betanije, Marta, te mnoge druge žene o kojima piše Rebeka Jadranka Anić u knjizi Žene u crkvi i društvu.
