Die älteren Sprachstufen und insbesondere die Aussprache des jiddischen Dialektes in den Niederlanden können nicht auf dieselbe Weise transkribiert werden, daher wird die Umschrift wo nötig der damaligen Aussprache angeglichen. 1 Vgl. z.B. die Tabelle in: Modern English-Yiddish Yiddish-English Dictionary, hg.v.

Handelt es sich um fiktionale Namen, so wird die damalige jiddische Aussprache in der Umschrift nachgeahmt.

  • Introducing Tkhines
    1 CHAPTER Introducing Tkhines The Seyder Tkhines,1 which first appeared in print in Amsterdam in 1648, is a landmark in the history of women. It represents an age of re- ligious, sexual, linguistic, and literary revolution within the Jewish com- munity across Europe, an age when mysticism pervaded mainstream2 Judaism. Yet this exceptional episode, along with its literature, has dis- appeared from the Jewish collective memory. Jews of this period be- lieved themselves to be on the verge of a Messianic redemption that called for spiritual regeneration, heartfelt prayer, and repentance by the entire community, women as well as men. Each catastrophe ex- perienced by the community, and these were many and cataclysmic, was seen as an affirmation of this belief. The urgency to get the com- munity’s “house in order”necessitated an unprecedented reform in the religious and cultural participation of women who traditionally had not played an essential role in communal prayer or learning in Ortho- dox Judaism. A new vernacular prayer literature for, and sometimes by,women was prolifically printed and widely circulated by a dynamic, pan-European Yiddish printing industry. These prayers, and in partic- ular those entitled tkhines,are the subject of this book.Jewish women today who are seeking a precedent for women’s prayer need look no further. 3 Copyright © 2004.

Whereas the topic was practically non-existent two decades ago, at the last World Congress of Jewish Studies, the “Olympics” of Jewish scholarship, held in Jerusalem in August 2013, various panels were dedicated to this burgeoning field. Although the Jewish people are usually dubbed “the people of the book,” in traditional Jewish society authority is primarily based on oral transmission in the teacher-student dialog.1 Thus, the innovation and modernization process connected to print and subsequent changes in reading culture had for a long time been underrated.2 Just as in Christian society, the establishment of printing houses and the dissemination of books instigated far-reaching changes in all areas of Jewish intellectual life and finally led to the democratization of Jewish culture.3 In central Europe, the rise of publications in the Jewish vernacular, i.e.
