JEWISH TIME- For over 2,000 years, Jews have juggled two calendars. According to the secular calendar, the date changes at midnight, the week begins on Sunday, and the year starts in the winter. According to the Hebrew calendar, the day begins at sunset, the week begins on Saturday night, and the new year is celebrated in the fall. The secular, or Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar, based on the fact that it takes 365.25 days for the earth to circle the sun. With only 365 days in a year, after four years an extra day is added to February and there is a leap year.

  • The Semitic Component in Yiddish and Its Ideological Role in Yiddish Philology
    philological encounters � (�0�7) 368-387 brill.com/phen The Semitic Component in Yiddish and its Ideological Role in Yiddish Philology Tal Hever-Chybowski Paris Yiddish Center—Medem Library [email protected] Abstract The article discusses the ideological role played by the Semitic component in Yiddish in four major texts of Yiddish philology from the first half of the 20th century: Ysroel Haim Taviov’s “The Hebrew Elements of the Jargon” (1904); Ber Borochov’s “The Tasks of Yiddish Philology” (1913); Nokhem Shtif’s “The Social Differentiation of Yiddish: Hebrew Elements in the Language” (1929); and Max Weinreich’s “What Would Yiddish Have Been without Hebrew?” (1931). The article explores the ways in which these texts attribute various religious, national, psychological and class values to the Semitic com- ponent in Yiddish, while debating its ontological status and making prescriptive sug- gestions regarding its future. It argues that all four philologists set the Semitic component of Yiddish in service of their own ideological visions of Jewish linguistic, national and ethnic identity (Yiddishism, Hebraism, Soviet Socialism, etc.), thus blur- ring the boundaries between descriptive linguistics and ideologically engaged philology. Keywords Yiddish – loshn-koydesh – semitic philology – Hebraism – Yiddishism – dehebraization Yiddish, although written in the Hebrew alphabet, is predominantly Germanic in its linguistic structure and vocabulary.* It also possesses substantial Slavic * The comments of Yitskhok Niborski, Natalia Krynicka and of the anonymous reviewer have greatly improved this article, and I am deeply indebted to them for their help. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���7 | doi �0.��63/�45�9�97-��Downloaded34003� from Brill.com09/23/2021 11:50:14AM via free access The Semitic Component In Yiddish 369 and Semitic elements, and shows some traces of the Romance languages.

  • Jewish Humor and Commercial Entertainment in Twentieth-Century America and Central Europe
    Jewish Humor and Commercial Entertainment in Twentieth-Century America and Central Europe Spring 2019 Mary Gluck Jewish Studies Program Central European University General Introduction: Jewish humor is universally celebrated for its wit and creativity. It is just as frequently criticized for its negative stereotypes of Jews. The seminar attempts to explain this contradiction by focusing on the complex historical function of Jewish humor in early twentieth-century America and Central Europe. It argues that Jewish humor in the modern period was both transgressive and integrative, challenging existing taboos and institutions, but also envisioning new social possibilities and cultural identities. These dual impulses found expression in a variety of forms, ranging from joke books, musical recordings, satirical magazines, jargon theaters, all the way to institutions of mass entertainment such as Vaudeville, music hall, Broadway and Hollywood. The course will explore these different manifestations of Jewish humor and ask how they created a new form of minority discourse that fostered inclusion even while emphasizing difference. The seminar will conclude with a look at contemporary iterations of Jewish humor in the work of Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Sarah Silverman, Sacha Baron Cohen and others. Requirements: Students are expected to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned readings. In addition, all students are required to make a presentation on a reading recommended for one of the weekly topics. Finally, students are asked to write a research paper of roughly 4,000 words on a topic of their choice, which is due at the end of the semester. The final paper should be linked to the themes discussed during the term.

Observance is a personal choice. iii. These Jewish people will still celebrate Jewish holidays and attend synagogue, but may not follow all of the rules of shabbat or keep kosher. b. Conservative (Slide 4) i. This is a more traditional form of Judaism where the laws are seen as obligatory, but they may not all be followed strictly. ii. They may drive to synagogue on shabbat only, keep kosher, or follow some of the kosher laws, but not all. iii. They would attend synagogue and observe the Jewish holidays more strictly. iv. There is still a wide range of observance here, where some Jews may prefer this style of observance, but may not follow all of the laws in their own home. c. Orthodox (Slide 5) i. This area of Judaism is defined by a more traditional understanding of Jewish law interpreted by rabbis throughout history. ii. They observe shabbat and holidays very strictly. iii. They do not drive, work, use electricity, or handle money on shabbat. iv. They have a modest way of dressing and will spend much more time learning about the tenets of the religion in their homes and in school. v. There is also a “Modern Orthodox” movement where Jewish people may follow these laws to the best of their abilities, but still maintain a more modern lifestyle and way of dressing. 2.

Dissertations - ALL. 322. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/322 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT Jewish humor is a well-known, if ill-defined genre. The prevalence and success of Jewish comedians has been a point of pride for American Jews throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. What I undertake in this dissertation is to isolate one particular form of humor—namely satire—and use it as a way to analyze the changing relationship of American Jews to traditional religious forms. I look at the trends over three generations, the third generation (who came of age in the 40s and 50s), the Baby Boom generation (who came of age in the 60s and 70s) and the contemporary generation (who came of age in the 80s and 90s). When the satire produced by each generation is analyzed with the depiction of Judaism and Jewish practices in mind a certain pattern emerges. By then reading that pattern through Bill Brown’s Thing Theory it becomes possible to talk about the motivations for and effects of the change over time in a new way.

  • Significant Times and Dates
    Significant Times and Dates Festivals The Jewish Calendar Jewish holidays or festivals (yamim tovim) are holidays observed by Jews throughout the Hebrew calendar and include religious, cultural, and national aspects. Some are derived from Biblical mitzvot (commandments), others from rabbinic mandates, while others commemorate Jewish history and the history of the State of Israel. All Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because a Jewish day begins and ends at sunset, rather than at midnight. (It is inferred from the story of creation in Genesis, where it says, “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day”.) Jewish holidays occur on the same dates every year in the Hebrew calendar, but the dates vary in the Gregorian calendar.
