  • Noahidism Or B'nai Noah—Sons of Noah—Refers To, Arguably, a Family
    Noahidism or B’nai Noah—sons of Noah—refers to, arguably, a family of watered–down versions of Orthodox Judaism. A majority of Orthodox Jews, and most members of the broad spectrum of Jewish movements overall, do not proselytize or, borrowing Christian terminology, “evangelize” or “witness.” In the U.S., an even larger number of Jews, as with this writer’s own family of orientation or origin, never affiliated with any Jewish movement. Noahidism may have given some groups of Orthodox Jews a method, arguably an excuse, to bypass the custom of nonconversion. Those Orthodox Jews are, in any event, simply breaking with convention, not with a scriptural ordinance. Although Noahidism is based ,MP3], Tạləmūḏ]תַּלְמּוד ,upon the Talmud (Hebrew “instruction”), not the Bible, the text itself does not explicitly call for a Noahidism per se. Numerous commandments supposedly mandated for the sons of Noah or heathen are considered within the context of a rabbinical conversation. Two only partially overlapping enumerations of seven “precepts” are provided. Furthermore, additional precepts, not incorporated into either list, are mentioned. The frequently referenced “seven laws of the sons of Noah” are, therefore, misleading and, indeed, arithmetically incorrect. By my count, precisely a dozen are specified. Although I, honestly, fail to understand why individuals would self–identify with a faith which labels them as “heathen,” that is their business, not mine. The translations will follow a series of quotations pertinent to this monotheistic and ,MP3], tạləmūḏiy]תַּלְמּודִ י ,talmudic (Hebrew “instructive”) new religious movement (NRM). Indeed, the first passage quoted below was excerpted from the translated source text for Noahidism: Our Rabbis taught: [Any man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin.

  • World War II. Nearly Sixty Years Later…, and Yet the Stories and Events Are Still So Alive and Nearby
    SOMSEN HORIZON Volume 5, number 9 – May 2002 BERNARD SOMSEN IN WARTIME by Gree van Daatselaar-Somsen [53] World War II. Nearly sixty years later…, and yet the stories and events are still so alive and nearby. Even more nearby when your own family is concerned, your own father, and then you simply cannot get past those stories without getting emotionally involved. Being proud and sad at the same time. And with such feelings Ida Heinen-Somsen [455] came to me. She acquainted me with the war and resistance history of her father Berend Hendrik Somsen [367], called Bernard, 1913-1993. The history took place in Eibergen between 1940-1945. I shrank back from writing this down. I would have to enter into that period and that is difficult for me. In each family so many things happened at the time. I was a young teenager in those days, but you felt the fear, tension and pressure of your parents. You were not supposed to know everything and that was the most alarming element. This has left behind impressions that I will be aware of for as long as I live. But still. Ida persuaded me with her warm smile, her beautiful scrapbook about her father and…with a delicious homemade ginger cake. Come with tales tonight Three books about Eibergen in wartime, written by E.H.Wesselink, published by the Historic Circle of Eibergen, bear the title ‘Come with Tales Tonight’. The title has been borrowed from the lines of a beautiful poem, entitled Peace, by the Dutch and American poet Leo Vroman.

  • From Winterswijk to Wisconsin: Emigration from the Achterhoek to the United States in the Nineteenth Century
    From Winterswijk to Wisconsin: Emigration from the Achterhoek to the United States in the nineteenth century Introduction Winterswijk is a small village in the eastern part of the Netherlands, in the province of Gelderland. It is likely that nobody in Wisconsin would ever have heard about it, if not for a single historical phenomenon: in the nineteenth century, a significant part of the population emigrated to the United States and many of these emigrants ended up in Wisconsin. This article will explore the reasons why so many people left, how they traveled and where they ended up. Figure 1: Location of Winterswijk and the neighboring towns of Aalten, Bredevoort and Dinxperlo1 Agricultural history of Winterswijk To understand why the emigration wave hit exactly in the Winterswijk area, we have to understand some of its history. Winterswijk has long been a rural community. Some of the farms that exist today, appear in historical records as early as the 11th century.2 Until the French occupation in 1795, many inhabitants were serfs. They were bound to the land and worked the farms of the landlords. They also had to perform services for the lord, including de-icing the castle moat, letting the lord's pigs roam the forests for acorns, providing food and water for the lord's hunting party and cutting wood for the lord's kitchen. In return, they had the right to work the farm and the lord provided protection for them. They also had to submit to strict serf laws. In general, serfs were only expected to marry other serfs that belonged to the same estate.
