  • Raphael Meldola in Livorno, Pisa, and Bayonne
    Chapter 7 Defining Deviance, Negotiating Norms: Raphael Meldola in Livorno, Pisa, and Bayonne Bernard Dov Cooperman* 1 The Secularization Thesis The link between modernization and secularization has long been a staple of Jewish historiography. Secularization was the necessary prerequisite for, and the inevitable response to, Jews’ “emancipation” from discriminatory legal provisions. It was evidenced in the abandonment of Jewish ritual observance, an intentional imitation of external norms that was either to be praised as “enlightenment” or decried as “assimilation,” and the abandonment of Jewish “authenticity.” The decline in observance was accompanied by, or justified by, a parallel abandonment of traditional religious beliefs and theological concepts. And at the same time, the kehilla, the autonomous Jewish community, lost its ability to enforce religious discipline and suppress unacceptable religious ideas.1 Thus the transition to modernity was equated with a decline in rabbini- cal and communal authority, the abandonment of traditional behaviors, and the collapse of orthodox mentalities. In a famous article published almost a century ago, the young historian Salo Baron questioned whether moderniza- tion had been worth such a great cultural and communal cost.2 But he did not question the narrative itself; if anything, his regret over what was lost rein- forced the assumption that modernization and secularization were one. * My thanks to Professors Gérard Nahon and Peter Nahon as well as to Doctor Nimrod Gaatone for their thoughtful comments on this paper. While I was unable to take up their several ex- cellent suggestions here, I hope to do so in further work on Meldola. Of course, all errors are my own.

A Study of the Linguistic Basis of the ṭəʿ Matthew Phillip Monger (Proverbs 1:7) יִרְאַ ַ֣תיְְ֭הוָ ה רֵ אשִ ַ֣ ית דָ ָּ֑עַ ת III © Matthew Phillip Monger 2012 Accents, Punctuation or Cantillation Marks? The Linguistic Basis of the ṭəʿ Matthew Phillip Monger http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract This thesis discusses different strategies for interpreting the placement of the ṭəʿ in Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. After introducing the signs and their distribution in the text, the thesis looks at different levels of linguistic analysis where the ṭəʿ provide interesting information. At the word level, word stress and vowel length are discussed. At the phrase level, the different types of phrases are analyzed in light of a closest constituent analysis. At the verse level, the distribution of the ṭəʿ is shown to depend on simple rules which maximize the most common structures of Tiberian Hebrew. Prosodic structure is also evaluated to show what bearing that it has on the placement of the ṭəʿ . Finally, the ṭəʿ are discussed in relation to discourse features. The goal of the thesis is to show that the ṭəʿ are not simply musical notation, but have a linguistic basis, and provide insight into linguistic features of Tiberian Hebrew.

  • The Open Torah Ark a Jewish Iconographic Type in Late Antique Rome and Sardis
    chapter 6 The Open Torah Ark A Jewish Iconographic Type in Late Antique Rome and Sardis Steven Fine* Scholars have long noted that images of Torah Shrines are markedly different in the Land of Israel from those that appear in Jewish contexts in and around Rome (see Hachlili 1988, 166–87, 247–49, 270–80; 1998, 67–77, 363–73; 2000; 2013, 192–205 and references there). In Palestinian exempla—in mortuary contexts, reliefs, occasionally on a ritual object and especially on mosaic syna- gogue pavements—the doors of the cabinet are almost always closed. This is the case within both Jewish and Samaritan contexts (Meyers 1999; Magen 2008, 134–37; Hachlili 2013, 192–203; Figs. 6.1–6.3). Only one image of an ark contain- ing scrolls has been discovered in Israel, a rather primitive graffito found in the Jewish catacombs at Beth Sheʿarim (Hachlili 1988, 247), a burial compound known for having served Jews from both Palestine and the nearby Diaspora communities (Rajak 2001). By contrast, in Rome (Figs. 6.4–6.6), and in the Sardis synagogue in Lydia in Asia Minor (Fig. 6.7), the Torah Shrine is presented open, with scrolls exposed (Hachlili 1998, 362–67). Happily, Rachel Hachlili has handily collected and made available all of the extant evidence of Torah Shrines from both Israel and the Diaspora. Her corpora (1988; 1998) are now a touchstone for the study of this material, allowing all who have followed after her the luxury of a fully orga- nized body of sources, and readily available. This alone is a major accomplish- ment, one that I am pleased to celebrate with this chapter.

  • 08 Heymann En
    Bulletin du CRFJ, printemps 2001, numéro 8 Czernowitz revisited The anthropological and historical study I had been working on for the last several years on Bukovina (Austro Hungarian, then Romanian between the two World Wars and today in the Ukraine) – was nearing completion. At that point I felt I could not finish writing without actually visiting the places that I was describing through the memories of others, and which I was also the cradle of part of my family. Czernowitz, notably the birthplace of Paul Celan and Rose Auslander, was predominantly Jewish during the inter-war period. It was a symbol of the coming together of two Europes – East and West. By cross comparison of source material, the life stories of the city’s inhabitants, now living all over the world but many of whom are in Israël, and the archives which today are accessible, I primarily focused on the constructions of memory in its relationship to history, and the forging of identifies. In November 1999, Tel Aviv University organized a conference on “Czernowitz as a Paradigm. Cultural Pluralism and the Issue of Nationalities”. While at this conference I met an American couple, both of whom are university researchers: Marianne Hirsch and her husband Leo Spitzer. Marianne, whose parents came from Czernowitz works on topics similar to mine. She told me about her plans to visit Bukovina in the spring of 2000.
