    IN MEMORIAM Dr. Judith Freedman UDITH Freedman, who died in London on 20 December 2009, was for fifty years associated with the production of the Jewish Journal Jof Sociology, which her husband Professor Maurice Freedman had helped establish half a century earlier and which served and serves as the vehicle for the dissemination of high-quality research into problems of social formation, ethnic identity and demography amongst Jews both of the diaspora and of Israel. Dr Freedman was herself a scholar of international repute. Born into the large and well-connected Djamour family in Egypt on 22 September 1921, she was educated at the University of Cairo and at the London School of Economics, where she completed her doctoral research. This investigation, focussing on issues of kinship and matri- mony within the Malay community of Singapore, resulted in two influ- ential monographs, Malay Kinship & Marriage in Singapore and The Muslim Matrimonial Court in Singapore. Her professional interest in the social anthropology of south-east Asia had brought her into contact with a fellow researcher in this field, Maurice Freedman, late of the Royal Artillery. The couple were married in London in 1946. She collaborated with Sir Raymond Firth (her doctoral supervisor, Professor of anthropology at LSE and one of the founders of modern social anthropology) in his researches into issues of family and kinship in a south London borough. Maurice, mean- while, had returned to LSE as a lecturer, succeeding Firth as Professor of anthropology there in 1965. Five years later Maurice moved to Oxford, where, on the retirement of Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard, he had been elected to its prestigious chair of social anthropology, and to an All Souls fellowship.

  • How Wedding Ceremonies and Traditions Have Changed Over Time
    In the early 1800s, brides in England wore red dresses. That changed in 1840 when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert and wore a white dress. ( Source ) In the 19th century, marriage became more about love and less about status, thanks to the Industrial Revolution and growth of the middle class. ( Source ) In the 19th century, weddings were typically small, intimate ceremonies at the home of the parents of the bride or groom. ( Source) Weddings did not become elaborate events until the 1820s and 30s. ( Source ) Weddings in the 19th century often took place on weekdays between 10 a.m. and noon, followed with a breakfast reception. ( Source ) 1900s Many colonial-era marriage celebrations took place in the winter months when there was less to do on the farm or plantation agriculturally. ( Source The Evolution of the Wedding Industry How wedding ceremonies and traditions have changed over time These days, it’s not uncommon for couples to spend over $30,000 on a wedding ceremony.1 But that wasn’t always the case. We wondered: How did wedding ceremonies look hundreds, and even thousands, of years ago? And what trends were popular back then that are still common today? We wanted to find out — here’s a detailed look at how the wedding industry has changed over time. B.C. to 1700s Many colonial-era marriage celebrations took place in the winter months when there was less to do on the farm or plantation agriculturally.2 The First Wedding The first evidence of marriage dates to 4,000 years ago, in Mesopotamia.3 In the ancient world, marriage In Roman times, bridesmaids In Ancient Egypt, wedding was an act to preserve power.

Jewish Report www.sajr.co.za Photo: Flash90 Photo: Vehicles used as a terrorist weapon The scene where a car crashed into Jerusalem’s Ammunition Hill in a Palestinian terrorist attack on October 22 when Abdel Rachman al-Shaludi rammed his car into a crowd at a Jerusalem light rail station, killing two people, one a three-month-old baby and the other SA-born Dalya Lemkus. In a new pattern of using vehicles as “terrorist weapons”, on November 5 another terrorist, Ibrahim al-Akari used his van as a weapon against pedestrians, killing two more people. The seemingly randomness of the attacks is particularly terrifying. The two terrorists have both been lauded as “heroes” by Palestinian Media Watch. Stronger action by American lawmakers has been urged to curb this trend.
