Rivista semestrale di Storia e Politica Internazionali Eunomia VII n.s. (2018), n. 1, 93-112 e-ISSN 2280-8949 DOI 10.1285/i22808949a7n1p93 http://siba-ese.unisalento.it, © 2018 Università del Salento VIVIANE SERFATY Yearning to Become a Jew: Donato Manduzio’s Conversion1 Abstract: Donato Manduzio was a Southern Italian peasant who only learned how to read and write in his early thirties, while convalescing in a military hospital during the First World War. Upon his return to San Nicandro Garganico, his reading of the Bible and the visions he experienced led him to believe that Judaism surpassed all other religions. As he was convinced that the Jewish people had disappeared from earth, he thought God had given him the mission of recreating His people. After chancing to discover the existence of organized Jewish communities in Italy, Manduzio set about obtaining an official conversion for himself and about seventy of his followers. This paper endeavors to shed light on the circumstances of this collective conversion and to elucidate its causes by examining its historical and sociological contexts.. Keywords: Donato Manduzio; San Nicandro Garganico; Religion; Judaism; Zionism; Bible; Conversion; Visions; Faith healing. Introduction: A brief sketch of conversions to Judaism The sacred Scriptures of all three monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – contain foundational conversion stories. Unlike Christianity or Islam, however, Judaism has neither a tradition of mass conversions, nor missionaries, nor does it have a proselytizing program.

    The High Cost of Hate Yom Kippur Gregory S. Marx October 2016 I have a confession to make. I begin this Yom Kippur sermon with an honest confession. On the one hand it’s a tad funny, but on the other hand it’s very serious. Sometimes, I cannot control my anger when I’m on the phone pushing buttons trying to speak to a customer service rep. The recorded message tells me repeatedly that they value my time. But they are lying. I compliantly push all the button, giving them the last four digits of my social and my home zip code and then when I get to a real person, they ask me the question all over again. And it fills my heart with, I’m sorry to say, rage. Can any of you relate to this? A few weeks ago, I found myself waiting for over half an hour, dutifully pushing the buttons, to speak to the right person, only to be disconnected not once but twice. Once reconnected, listening to that saccharine sweet voice saying, “I’m sorry, that option is not available, “ I found myself bellowing into the phone, “Customer Service.” It was embarrassing. A machine had rendered my insane. So I confess this human sin before you. The sin of Sinat Chinam, baseless hatred. My confession has liberated me. 1 Seriously, hate is everywhere. We saw two Presidential candidates so filled with hate for each other that they couldn’t even shake hands. Their faces turned red, they paced back and forth, and they scowled and pursed their lips.

Bringing together original historical research on the radical press and close readings of Yiddish avant-garde poetry by Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, Peretz Markish, Yankev Glatshteyn, and others, I show that the development of anarchist modernism was both a transnational literary trend and a complex worldview. My research draws from hitherto unread material in international archives to document the world of the Yiddish anarchist press and assess the scope of its literary influence. The dissertation’s theoretical framework is informed by diaspora studies, gender studies, and translation theory, to which I introduce anarchist diasporism as a new term.
