  • Yaa Types of ‘Ketonet’
    In this week’s Parashah of Vayeshev, we read about Yosef and his ‘Ketonet Pasim’ – ornate robe. This week’s NLI resource features a poster of clothes’ store vocabulary including a couple of differentYaa types of ‘ketonet’. This poster was published by the Ministry of Education and Culture in the 1950s. It shows drawings of common articles of clothes and haberdashery together with their names in Hebrew. The poster is divided into five categories, being women’s clothes, men’s clothes, haberdashery, shoes and ‘whites’. Common phrases that a customer would need to know are also included on the poster. The poster shows the clothes that were commonly to be found in the Israeli wardrobe in the 1950s when food, clothing, and furniture were rationed. The style of the clothing is simple and basic. One of the phrases on the poster is: “Please put new soles and heels on my shoes,” which was probably more common than buying new shoes during the time of rationing. Due to changes in fashion and more practical ways of dressing, some of the items in this poster, such as corsets, suspenders, petticoats and overshoes are no longer frequently worn. Link to NLI Resource Activities: Something Look carefully at the poster – how to discuss As we know, Israel won her War of Independence in May, 1948. After many different clothes have the this, however, Israeli leaders found themselves in a difficult situation: work ‘ketonet’ (the word used to Israel had no foreign currency remaining and immigrants were describe Yosef’s coat) in their streaming into Israel by the thousands.

In the modern period, many and diverse explanations of Herod‘s actions have been put forward, but previous approaches have often been hamstrung by inadequate and disproportionate use of either form of evidence. My analysis incorporates both forms while still keeping important criticisms of both in mind. Both forms of evidence, archaeological and historical, have biases, and it is important to consider their nuances and limitations as well as the information they offer. In the first chapter, I describe the most important previous approaches to the person of Herod and evaluate both the theoretical paradigms as well as the methodologies which governed them.

Coussens A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Depart of Religious Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Jodi Magness Zlatko Plese James Rives © 2014 Brian A. Coussens ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Brian A. Coussens: ACTS OF DISPLAY: IDENTITY AND ROME IN HERODIAN PALESTINE (Under the direction of Jodi Magness) Scholars have been divided over how to interpret the relationship between Palestinian Jews and the Roman Empire during the Herodian period (40 BCE – 70 CE). This thesis attempts to understand this relationship through a model of Romanization based on theories of identity negotiation. It uses the unit of the household and its objects to examine the range of identity displays in which the Jews of Herodian Palestine participated, and it examines this display vernacular to see how it compares to that of other sites and how it changes over time. For its sample, this thesis examines the sites of Jerusalem (the Upper City) and Qumran. It finds that, although these sites show a range of identities and experiences under Empire, the context of the Roman Empire affected both by changing the discourse of identity expression. iii Dedicated to the memory of Colleen Gunter Cavin, my beloved and much missed grandmother.

  • Military-Civilian Interactions in Early Roman Palestine and the Gospel of Mark
    Military-Civilian Interactions in Early Roman Palestine and the Gospel of Mark by Christopher Zeichman A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Emmanuel College and the Biblical Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by Christopher Zeichman 2017 Military-Civilian Interactions in Early Roman Palestine and the Gospel of Mark Christopher Zeichman Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2017 Abstract Despite the rise in academic interest about the Roman imperial context of early Christian writings, the social-historical question of the military in Palestine has remained almost entirely neglected by biblical scholars. When the topic is discussed, it makes use of broad stereotypes that seem more to serve a normative function condemning contemporary imperialism than a careful examination of data from antiquity. The present thesis aims to rectify this problem in three stages. The first part aims to contextualize the Gospel of Mark as specifically as possible, suggesting a provenance of Capernaum in Galilee in the mid-70s CE. A precise consideration of Mark’s provenance is a necessary starting point if one is to make claims about the evangelist’s experience with men of the military. The second part offers a thorough account of the military in early Roman Palestine, attending both to Mark’s compositional context (i.e., post-War Galilee) and the context which Mark depicts (i.e., Palestine 20s and 30s CE). This part has chapters encompassing both the demographic makeup of the military in Palestine and their function.
