  • The Baal Shem-Toy Ballads of Shimshon Meltzer
    THE BAAL SHEM-TOY BALLADS OF SHIMSHON MELTZER by SHLOMO YANIV The literary ballad, as a form of narrative metric composition in which lyric, epic, and dramatic elements are conjoined and whose dominant mood is one of mystery and dread, drew its inspiration from European popular ballads rooted in oral tradition. Most literary ballads are written in a concentrated and highly charged heroic and tragic vein. But there are also those which are patterned on the model of Eastern European popular ballads, and these poems have on the whole a lyrical epic character, in which the horrific motifs ordinarily associated with the genre are mitigated. The European literary ballad made its way into modern Hebrew poetry during its early phase of development, which took place on European soil; and the type of balladic poem most favored among Hebrew poets was the heroico-tragic ballad, whose form was most fully realized in Hebrew in the work of Shaul Tchernichowsky. With the appearance in 1885 of Abba Constantin Shapiro's David melek yifrii.:>e/ f:tay veqayyii.m ("David King of Israel Lives"), the literary ballad modeled on the style of popular ballads was introduced into Hebrew poetry. This type of poem was subsequently taken up by David Frischmann, Jacob Kahan, and David Shimoni, although the form had only marginal significance in the work of these poets (Yaniv, 1986). 1 Among modern Hebrew poets it is Shimshon Meltzer who stands out for having dedicated himself to composing poems in the style of popular balladic verse. These he devoted primarily to Hasidic themes in which the figure and personality of Israel Baal Shem-Tov, the founder of Hasidism, play a prominent part.

  • D'var Torah from Laurie L. Patton, 8/31/13
    1 D’var Torah Nitzavim, 5774 Parashat Nitzavim is a dramatic parashat—filled with Moses’ endings, and moving, sometimes even stern, discourses that will help the Israelites cope with those endings. Moses gathers all the people to give them these teachings, knowing now that he cannot go with them. And they (and perhaps we), are comforted by the now well-known passage: the mitzvah to love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul is not far off, not at the edges of the distant sea, but within us and within our hearts. The passage is worth listening to again: …For the Lord will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your ancestors, if you shall hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul. For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, who shall go up for us to hear it, that we may do it? Neither is it beyond the sea that you should say, who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and make us hear it, that we may do it? But the Lord your God is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.

  • Israel Is Not Optional Rabbi John Franken Yom Kippur Morning 5779
    1 Israel Is Not Optional Rabbi John Franken Yom Kippur Morning 5779 © 2018 by John A. Franken. Not for publication without written permission of the author. ​ ​ ​ Dear Friends: 45 years ago this morning on the Hebrew calendar, Jews around the world woke up to frightening and alarming news. Overnight the Jewish state had been suddenly and deliberately attacked by the united Arab states of Syria and Egypt. Even worse, its celebrated defense force was suffering fearsome casualties and, in some places, was in full retreat. The ensuing days would see the state, made up largely of survivors and refugees, thrown into existential danger as its adversaries came frightfully close to destroying it and inflicting, potentially, a second holocaust. Israel, whose cardinal defensive strategy had been to engage the enemy on its own territory, would require not only a massive airlift to survive, but the better part of a month to beat back the fierce invaders and restore the status quo ante. ​ When it was all over, the young Jewish state, then numbering barely more than three million citizens, was financially broke, its economy badly shaken; diplomatically isolated, its self-confidence and international standing diminished; and politically adrift, its leadership discredited. The Prime Ministership of Golda Meir came to an ignominious end and David Elazar, the distinguished Army Chief of Staff who some had thought a worthy successor, collapsed from a heart attack and died. It was a terrible and fearsome time - one that would soon be exacerbated by the OPEC oil embargo and the Arab states’ success at pressuring the United Nations General Assembly to declare that Zionism is racism, a morally obnoxious charge that would take the U.N.

Dissertations (2009 -). 676. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/676 LOVE THE STRANGER FOR YOU WERE STRANGERS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BIBLICAL LITERARY THEME AND MOTIF by Helga Kisler, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2016 ABSRACT LOVE THE STRANGER FOR YOU WERE STRANGERS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BIBLICAL LITERARY THEME AND MOTIF Helga Kisler, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2016 The Hebrew Bible recounts the development of Israel’s self-identity as “Strangers and Sojourners” and their relationship with God and other Strangers. A significant passage that connects these relationships says that God “loves the Strangers…You shall also love the Stranger, for you were Strangers in the land of Egypt” (Deut 10:17-19). In the same book that commands love for the Stranger, God tells Israel to separate themselves from foreign nations in the land that they will occupy. In order to investigate an evident disparity concerning the relationship with the Stranger, this dissertation examines the literary motif of the Stranger and the theme of God’s love for the Stranger in the Torah/Pentateuch, as well as the Book of Ruth, by looking at the different representations of the Stranger and how the motif developed with both positive (gēr) and negative implications (nēkār, and zār).

The Unique Character of Halakhic Texts 714 I. Epilogue 718 A. Judaism Judaism – Yahadut in Hebrew – is first and foremost a religion. The term Juda- ism – Judaismes in the Greek form – is first found in the Jewish-Hellenistic litera- ture of the first century as a synonym for “the religion of the Israelites”.1 The same sense is found in St Paul’s Epistles to the Galatians – “And profited in the Jews’ re- ligion”.2 This term does not appear in the Bible3 or in rabbinical literature and only occasionally is found in medieval literature. In classical sources the term used for the body of Jewish teachings is Torah, which means also the Law of Moses or the Pentateuch. The term Judaism became popular during the Age of Enlightenment.4 * Associate Professor, The Buchmann Faculty of Law, Tel-Aviv University; General Editor, Mish- pat, Hevra ve’Tarbut – An Annual on Law, Society and Culture.
