The Shattered Vessel: The Dying Person in Jewish Law and Ethics Philip J. Bentley, DD* I. INTRODUCTION On the day when Rabbi died the Rabbis decreed a public fast and offered prayers for heavenly mercy. They furthermore announced that whoever said that Rabbi was dead would be stabbed with a sword. Rabbi's handmaid ascended the roof and prayed: 'The immortals desire Rabbi [to join them] and the mortals desire Rabbi [to remain with them]; may it be the will [of God] that the mortals may overpower the immortals.' When, however, she saw how often he resorted to the privy, painfully taking off his tefillin and putting them on again, she prayed: 'May it be the will [of the Almighty] that the immortals may overpower the mortals.' As the Rabbis incessantly continued their prayers for [heavenly] mercy she took up a jar and threw it down from the roof to the ground.

  • Judaizing and Singularity in England, 1618-1667
    Judaizing and Singularity in England, 1618-1667 Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aidan Francis Cottrell-Boyce, Gonville and Caius College, June 2018. For Anna. Abstract In the seventeenth century, in England, a remarkable number of small, religious movements began adopting demonstratively Jewish ritual practices. They were labelled by their contemporaries as Judaizers. Typically, this phenomenon has been explained with reference to other tropes of Puritan practical divinity. It has been claimed that Judaizing was a form of Biblicism or a form of millenarianism. In this thesis, I contend that Judaizing was an expression of another aspect of the Puritan experience: the need to be recognized as a ‘singular,’ positively- distinctive, separated minority. Contents Introduction 1 Singularity and Puritanism 57 Judaizing and Singularity 99 ‘A Jewish Faccion’: Anti-legalism, Judaizing and the Traskites 120 Thomas Totney, Judaizing and England’s Exodus 162 The Tillamites, Judaizing and the ‘Gospel Work of Separation’ 201 Conclusion 242 Introduction During the first decades of the seventeenth century in England, a remarkable number of small religious groups began to adopt elements of Jewish ceremonial law. In London, in South Wales, in the Chilterns and the Cotswolds, congregations revived the observation of the Saturday Sabbath.1 Thomas Woolsey, imprisoned for separatism, wrote to his co-religionists in Amsterdam to ‘prove it unlawful to eat blood and things strangled.’2 John Traske and his followers began to celebrate Passover

While commonly rejecting the latter, the earlier is celebrated. The paper deals with the attempts of several (Eretz) Israeli thinkers and writes to constitute a non-Orthodox, non-legalistic sense of Halakhah that would shape Jewish Zionist life. Chayyim Nachman Bialik's call to form new Halakhah, alongside with the prevailing Agaddah; Aharon David Gordon notion of "Life of Expansion", based on wo\man's "life perception" (chavayya); Lea Goldberg's praying poetry; Eliezer Schweid prophetic-Halahhic cry. It confronts the question whether such a Halakhah can be valid and sustainable, and to which extent it could determine individual and communal life?

Man is like a breath; his days are a passing shadow (Ps. 44:3–4, JPS translation). A. The Proces of Dying The time of death is perhaps the most mysterious of all human transitions. In halakhic literature, much atten- tion has been focused on the treatment of the person up until the moment of death, and of his/her body and survivors after that point. But when, precisely, does a person die? I am grateful for ecial assistance given to me on this project by my father and teacher, Michael A.

  • Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Polacos, White Slaves, and Stille Chuppahs: Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires, 1890-1939 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Mir Hayim Yarfitz 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Polacos, White Slaves, and Stille Chuppahs: Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires, 1890-1939 by Mir Hayim Yarfitz Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles Professor José C. Moya, Chair This dissertation explores the particularly prominent role of Jews in coercive sex trafficking, then called white slavery in Buenos Aires when it was considered to be the world capital. The project aims to de-exoticize the subject by comparing Jewish pimps and prostitutes to other immigrants, grounding them in the neighborhoods they lived in, exploring the concrete concerns of their opponents, and connecting the broader discourses around these issues to transnational conversations about migration, sexuality, and the significance of race, ethnicity, and nationhood – the establishment of the boundaries of whiteness – in the furor around white slavery. I introduce new evidence about the Zwi Migdal Society (also called the Varsovia Society), a powerful mutual aid ii and burial association of Jewish pimps based in the Argentine capital. Ostracized by the nascent Argentine Jewish community, the Zwi Migdal Society nonetheless developed the same communal structures as those found in conventional voluntary immigrant associations: a burial society, a synagogue, health benefits, and peer recognition. My archival discoveries underline the significance of this battle to the local Jewish community's centralization and the shifting international articulation of norms around morality, marriage, family, and labor, and develop a history that opens into larger issues of migration, identity, women’s agency and transatlantic politics.
