  • Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D
    Names 39.2 (June 1991) Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D. Lawson1 Abstract Samples of men's and women's names drawn from English language editions of Israeli telephone directories identify the most common names in current usage. These names, categorized into Biblical, Traditional, Modern Hebrew, and Non-Hebrew groups, indicate that for both men and women over 90 percent come from Hebrew, with the Bible accounting for over 70 percent of the male names and about 40 percent of the female. Pronunciation, meaning, and Bible citation (where appropriate) are given for each name. ***** The State of Israel represents a tremendous opportunity for names research. Immigrants from traditions and cultures as diverse as those of Yemen, India, Russia, and the United States have added their onomastic contributions to the already existing Jewish culture. The observer accustomed to familiar first names of American Jews is initially puzzled by the first names of Israelis. Some of them appear to be biblical, albeit strangely spelled; others appear very different. What are these names and what are their origins? Benzion Kaganoffhas given part of the answer (1-85). He describes the evolution of modern Jewish naming practices and has dealt specifi- cally with the change of names of Israeli immigrants. Many, perhaps most, of the Jews who went to Israel changed or modified either personal or family name or both as part of the formation of a new identity. However, not all immigrants changed their names. Names such as David, Michael, or Jacob required no change since they were already Hebrew names.

  • Yosef Ben Mordekhay Malinowski: on the Date of His Death
    Karaite Archives 2 (2014), pp. 91–108 Yosef ben Mordekhay Malinowski: On the Date of his Death Piotr Muchowski Arie Yariv Adam Mickiewicz University Tel Aviv University Abstract According to Jacob Mann, Yosef ben Mordekhay Malinowski, a prominent pupil of Yi aq ben Avraham of Troki, died after 1624. This article quotes some new data on the date of his death and proves it should be established within a few years after 1603. ṣḥ It points out that most probably Malinowski left Troki and moved to Łuck in 1602. The article also gives a brief genealogy and a list of his works.

  • Messiah Son of Joseph Part 2: Who Sold Joseph? (Presented on 8/19/2017)
    Messiah Son of Joseph Part 2: Who Sold Joseph? (Presented on 8/19/2017) The following text is based on a message from Corner Fringe Ministries that was presented by Daniel Joseph. The original presentation can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcmsPH_VWHY&feature=youtu.be *Portions of the video message have been edited to present a written document. All the Scripture verses are from the New King James Version unless otherwise noted and are in the red text. Therefore, it is recommended that this document is printed in color. The Hebrew is to be read from right to left. We are going to continue on in our series Messiah son of Joseph. We ended part one in the story of Jacob. Jacob commissioned his son Joseph (Yosef) to go to Shechem where his brothers were supposed to be feeding their flocks. So Joseph answers his father by saying hinnî or here I am. He is willing to go; he wants to go. So his father sends him on this mission. The only problem is when he get to Shechem his brothers aren't there, and this is where we're going to pick up the story. We're going to circle back to Genesis 37:15-16—Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, "What are you seeking?" 16 So he said, "I am seeking my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks." or the אִ יש Now you'll notice that I bolded “a certain man.” In the Hebrew it's just “a man.” It is transliterate being 'iysh.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

    THE HYPOCORISTIC FORMS OF THE NAME JOSEPH (YEHOSE, YOSE) IN THE LATE SECOND TEMPLE PERIOD, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO TALPIYOT TOMB A Richard Bauckham Note: This article consists of edited extracts from a much longer study of the name Joseph in the Late Second Temple period (not yet published). I am making this version available now in view of the recent on-line articles by Eldad Keynan and James Tabor, already discussed on Mark Goodacre’s NT Blog, and the imminent publication of the collection of essays on Talpiyot Tomb A (edited J.

  • Joseph's Secret Treasure Joseph Has Always Been a Natural Target Of
    NORMAN LAMM VA-YIGASH THE JEWISH CENTER JAN* "RELIGION WITH A FUTURE" Joseph's Secret Treasure Joseph has always been a natural target of much criticism, some of it quite bitter. Not only was he personally hated by his brothers, and envied by the Egyptian courtiers in Pharoah's palace who begrudged him his meteoric rise to power, but the historic figure of Joseph and what it represents has also been subjected to serious animadversions. Joseph is the prototype of the Jew who is, at one and the same time, loyal to his Jewishness and thoroughly conversant with the modern world. Joseph anticipated the modern Orthodox Jew, especially the modern American Orthodox Jew. Substitute the word "American" for the word "Egyptian" in the verbal picture of Joseph, and you have a succint, composite image of today1s Orthodox Jew —- his promises and dangers, hopes and fears, tensions and dreams, successes and failures* Joseph was, first and foremost, a. good Jew. The Bible tells of his exemplary moral self-control. The Rabbis maintain that he never defiled himself with what is forbidden to a Jew; he was demonstrative in his observance of Kashruth* Before his eyes at all times he kept the demut diyukno shel abba, the image of his old father's face, the ideals instilled in him by Jacob. His children were thoroughly Egyptians zed, yet they spoke the ^oly Tongue. He himself had an Egyptian name, Tzafnat PaJaneiafa, yet he never forgot his Hebrew name and identity. He was an ish matzliafr, a worldly success, and at the same time he remained true to what had been taught to him in his father's home.

  • The Philological Impact of Biblical Hebrew on the English Language
    IAFOR Journal of Arts & Humanities Volume 6 – Issue 2 – Autumn 2019 The Philological Impact of Biblical Hebrew on the English Language Gloria Wiederkehr-Pollack City University of New York, USA Abstract This study focuses on the extensive but unacknowledged influence of biblical Hebrew on Western languages, especially English. The critical argument herein is that biblical Hebrew has contributed towards molding the English language, enhancing it with added depth and complexity; it is hoped that this analysis will constitute an important contribution to diachronic linguistics. As a student of Hebrew and the Bible I have sought to detect the more precise and earlier source for words, expressions, and phrases that, rooted in the Bible, encompass inspiring historical, ideological, and philosophical concepts. In order to ensure accuracy and correctness, entries have been researched and substantiated with concordances, lexicons, the Koren Edition of The Jerusalem Bible, classical biblical commentaries and text analyses. Attention is also given to historical factors that have accounted for the influence of Hebrew on the Greek language, on the Latin language of Roman rule and on the languages of lands within the Roman Empire before and after the dispersion of the year 70. Samples of the findings are mostly arranged in categories that span our speech, ranging from the mundane to the sublime. The concluding section browses selected interrelated vocabulary of the Western languages and their corresponding biblical precedents.
