  • Summary of Jordan Penkower on Reading <I
    Summary of Jordan Penkower on reading Zekher or Zeikher Amalek Summary of Jordan Penkower on reading Zekher or Zeikher Amalek This post originally appeared here. It is a summary of Prof. Jordan Penkower’s Minhag u-Mesorah: ‘Z-kh-r Amalek’ be-hamesh o be-shesh nekudot by his student Yosef Peretz. It appears here with permission, with some additions by the Seforim Blog editor. It is common practice in most Ashkenazi congregations to read the words z-kh-r Amalek, in Deut. 25:19, twice: once with a tzere under the zayin (zeikher) and once with asegol (zekher). Sephardic congregations, however, who do not distinguish between the pronunciation of these two vowels, read it only once, and they point it with a tzere. What is the origin of this practice, when did it begin, and is this double reading necessary to fulfill the command of reading these verses of Parshat Zakhor, the special reading on the Sabbath before Purim? These questions are discussed in several articles by R. Mordechai Breuer and Dr. J. Penkower,[1] two of the most eminent among contemporary scholars of the masorah and Biblical text. In their opinion, zeikher with a tzere is beyond a shadow of doubt the original and correct pointing of the text; and that is how the verse should be read in Parshat Zakhor. It must be stressed that the custom itself of a double reading is quite surprising and completely unique in Torah reading, for it was customary to decide in favor of one reading or another whenever there was a conflict between variant readings, pointing of vowels, or assignment of cantillation marks (as in cases of kri and ktiv, where a word is written one way but read another).

  • An Early North-Western Karaim Bible Translation from 1720. Part 1. the Torah
    Karaite Archives 2 (2014), pp. 109–141 An Early North-Western Karaim Bible Translation from 1720. Part 1. The Torah Michał Németh Jagiellonian University in Krakow Abstract In this article an early Bible translation into north-western Karaim is described. The manuscript, written in Hebrew script (in its Karaim semi-cursive variant), dates back to 1720, which makes it the oldest western Karaim Bible translation to be hitherto critically analysed. The manuscript was copied in Kukizów by Simcha ben Chananiel (who died in the 1720s). The language of the manuscript reveals archaic features, among others, consonant harmony in the process of emerging. Keywords western Karaim Bible translation, historical phonology of Karaim, vowel harmony, consonant harmony in north-western Karaim 1. Preliminary remarks The present article presents a concise description of a manuscript that con- tains an early north-western Karaim Torah translation (so-called Chumash) from 1720, supplemented with a translation of the four books of Ketuvim. To my knowledge, this is the oldest translation of Bible fragments into Western 1 Karaim hitherto described. 1 For an overview of the existing editions of Karaim translations of Biblical texts, see Olach (2013: 6–10) and JAnkOWSKI (2009: 504–509). 110 MICHAŁ NÉMETH The manuscript’s language is not consistent. The Torah translation reveals archaic linguistic peculiarities, whereas the language of the books of Ketu- vim is closer to present-day Karaim. For this reason, I decided to present the manuscript in two separate articles. In the present one, I will concentrate on the language of the Torah translation. Given the archaic quality of its language, and hence, the presence of a number of linguistic features that are fundamen- tal as far as the history of north-western Karaim is concerned, a representative sample material will be presented below.

I confess to having for many years cher- ished the hope that it would some day be given me to write this story. At the same time, I shrank from undertaking a task so vast and important, so basic to the Jewish cultural heritage, and involving so many aspects of Jewish life and history. When, therefore, the Zionist Organization of America approached me several years ago with the request that I prepare a pamphlet on the subject, Hebrew, The Story of a Living Language, I allowed myself to be persuaded for the very reason that the discussion would be brief and tentative.

  • Moshe Idel: Ashkenazi Esotericism and Kabbalah in Barcelona
    Ashkenazi Esotericism and Kabbalah in Barcelona Moshe Idel In a lecti~redelivcred many years ago in Barcelona 1 began a preliminary survey of the history of the Kabbalah in that city. There I emphasized the transition of ~~bbalistictraditions from Gerona to Barcelona and what seemed to me to be the characteristics of the Kabbalah in Barcelona, namely the development of the main type of esoteric Kabbalah among the followers of Nahmanides. This can be described as the a theosophical-theurgical Kabbalah which was cultivated by a group of Kabbalists active between, roughly speaking, the years 1270 and 1330. I would describe this group of Kabbalists as centripetal or nomian, from the Jewish traditional point of view, given the emphasis it laid on the centrality of the Torah and the commandments as understood in Rabbinic literature. In this lecture I also pointed out the emergence of another and much less visible Kabbalistic school, the ecstatic one, in Barcelona around the year 1270 and drew attention to the differences between them.' I would designate Avraham Abulafia's ecstatic Kabbalah, as well as that of R. Barukh Togarmi and the young R. Yosef Gikatilla, as part of the more centrifugal and anomian forms of Kabbalah, to judge from the point of view of the importance of the commandments in his Kabbalistic system. In the fifteen years that have passed since that lecture, many scholars have turned their attention to topics related to Catalan Kabbalah, including many aspects of Kabbalah in Barcelona, and much has been printed in a variety of languages.' I That lecture has been translated into Catalan.
