  • Tales Reveal Meaning
    Tulane University Tales Reveal Meaning February 12, 2009 10:30 AM Fran Simon [email protected] Fifty students listened as a rabbi from Jerusalem read a blessing in Yiddish and then began to interpret a parable. The scholar guided students in the Tulane Jewish studies course through the teachings of a revered 19th-century master of mystical storytelling. Rabbi Ozer Bergman of Jerusalem, right, and Rodger Kamenetz, visiting professor of Jewish studies, lead a discussion of a mystical 19th-century parable. (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) Rabbi Ozer Bergman was the guest scholar during a class of an innovative course titled “Building Jewish Identity: Secular Judaism in Historical Perspective,” and has spent decades studying the work of Rabbi Nachman, one of the most creative and influential of the Hasidic masters. Throughout the semester, students will contrast Nachman's stories and parables with the writings of Franz Kafka, a 20th century secular writer whose enigmatic stories have sometimes been related to Jewish mystical teachings. Students are learning to appreciate the continuity of the parable and other Jewish literary forms in both religious and secular texts, says Rodger Kamenetz, a visiting professor who is teaching the course. Under consideration is the particular flavor of religious writing with literary form as opposed to that of literary writing with religious content. “I want the students to learn how to read stories with greater depth. The Jewish tradition is midrashic, that is, it is all about reading and interpretation, and the stories of Rabbi Nachman and Franz Kafka present extreme opportunities for creative interpretation,” Kamenetz says.

  • Constructing Jewish Buddhist Identity in America
    UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY The Choosing People: Constructing Jewish Buddhist Identity in America by Nicole Heather Libin A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES CALGARY, ALBERTA APRIL, 2009 © Nicole Heather Libin 2009 ISBN: 978-0-494-51194-7 Abstract Evidence suggests that Jews comprise an overwhelmingly disproportionate number of American Buddhist converts. This study examines this phenomenon, exploring the identity construction and lived experiences of Jewish individuals who identify with Buddhism. Through in-depth, unstructured interviews with fifteen individuals, supplemented by textual sources, the study investigates the ways self-identified Jewish Buddhists characterize their own identities, examining the nature of both their Buddhist and Jewish identities, and the relationships between the two. Using a journey motif, the research explores the roles these identities play in their lives, how they came about, and how they continue to evolve. The Jewish individuals in this study moved from processes of Seeking Meaning to Finding Something that Resonates to Creating Their Own Paths of Meaning. Unstructured interviews and constructivist grounded theory are key tools for understanding Jewish identity as it is lived and constructed by individuals today. Identities are multiple, evolving, and variable. Individuals are the arbiters of meaning. They seek, choose, and follow paths and traditions based on personal meaning and relevance. They choose how to connect to being Jewish, which parts of Buddhist teachings fit with what they are seeking and what makes sense for them, and how the two traditions fit into their lives and identities.
