Upon their return to Moses) אשכל ענבים men to carry a and the children of Israel, they brought with them a bunch of grapes as a sign of the valley’s abundance. a) איש שהכל בו ?(Eshkol, bunch) אשכל The Midrash Shir ha-Shirim asks: “What is a man in whom all is contained), Bible, Mishnah, Talmud, Toseftah, and Haggadot.”1 Ish Eshkolot), the universal scholar, I see a connection between the) איש אשכולות In and the former; between deep and thorough knowledge of Jewish ( ראשית חכמה!latter (2 traditional literature and (modern) scholarship on the one hand, and fruitfulness, written and spoken, on the other. Both of these apply to the scholar of Jewish studies and religious studies, Professor Karl E. Grözinger. He, to whom this Festschrift is presented, is not only proficient in his knowledge of the various Jewish traditions and their texts, for he has also provided the world of academia with impressive fruits of his labors, of which the most recent years have been especially productive. After retiring from teaching at the university, he has dedicated himself to writing; the results thereof can be studied in his soon four-volume magnum opus, Jüdisches Denken. Theologie – Philosophie – Mystik (Jewish Thought. Theology – Phi- losophy – Mysticism). Today, only few scholars dare to take on such comprehensive chal- lenges. The honoree is one of these few, for he has presented the public a study of Jewish thought that, with its thousands of pages, reaches far beyond boundaries in epoch and disci- pline. Therein, previously neglected sources are discussed, interpreted, and positioned anew. Karl E. Grözinger, born on 04 February 1942 in Stuttgart, served the University of Potsdam as professor for Religious studies and Jewish studies between 1994 and 2007. Of great importance for the young student of Protestant theology at the University of Tübingen (1963-1965) and the Free University of Berlin (1965-1966) was his academic year at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1966-1967), where he pursued Bible studies, Biblical archeology, and Jewish studies. During his stay in Jerusalem, he realized that his aim henceforth was to study the diverse manifestations of Judaism. Afterwards, his path led him to the University of Heidelberg (1967-1971). After completion of his studies, he worked at the Qumran Research Center in Heidel- berg as a research associate. There, he also took on a second program of studies in the fields of Judaistik, Semitic studies, and Aramaic studies. He completed this program at the Uni- versity of Frankfurt am Main after he began working as an assistant to Professor Dr. Arnold Goldberg in 1972. Beginning in 1974, the young scholar served the Seminar for Judaistik 1 Midrash Shir ha-Shirim 1:14. Cf. bT Suta 47b and RaSHI thereto. 2 Prov. 4:7. 10 Foreword as lector for Hebrew and Aramaic. He received his doctoral degree in 1975 in Judaistik, Semitic and Arabic studies, and Old Testament

  • 2020 Raphael Patai Series in Jewish Folklore and Anthropology
    Raphael Patai Series in Jewish Folklore and Anthropology Stories of Jewish Life Casale Monferra- to-Rome-Jerusalem, 1876–1985 Augusto Segre Translated and with an Introduction by Steve Siporin Stories of Jewish Life: Casale Monferrato-Rome-Jeru- salem, 1876–1985 is an unconventional mem- oir—an integrated collection of short stories and personal essays. Author Augusto Segre was a well-known public fi gure in post–WWII Italy who worked as a journalist, educator, scholar, editor, activist, and rabbi. He begins his book with stories shaped from the oral narratives of his home community as it emerged from the ghet- to era, continues with his own experiences under fascism and as a partisan in WWII, and ends with his emigration to Israel.Spanning the years 1876 (one generation after emancipa- tion from the ghetto) to 1985 (one generation after the Shoah), Segre presents this period as an era in which Italian Jewry underwent a long-term internal crisis that challenged its core values and identity. He embeds the major cultural and political trends of the era in small yet telling episodes from the lives of ordinary people. The fi rst half of the book takes place in Casale Monferrato—a small provincial capital in the Piedmont region in northwest Italy. The second half, continuing in Casale in the late 1920s but eventually shifting to Rome then Jerusalem, follows the experiences of a boy named Moshè (Segre’s Jewish name and his stand-in). Moshè relates episodes of Italian Jewry from the 1920s to the 1980s that portray the insidiousness of fascism as well as the contradictions within the Jewish community, especially in its post-ghetto relationship to Italian society.
