Vol.1 contains the text of Oedipus Rex "Oedipe Roi" in French and a significant portion of Raphaël Freida's original engravings and drawings integrated directly with the text. This integration is vital as Freida's artwork is not merely decorative; it serves to amplify the emotional intensity and psychological depth of the tragedy. The quality of the printing and the paper in this volume are of high importance. Volume 2 "États des Planches" States of the Plates is dedicated to showcasing the "states of the plates" providing a detailed look at the various stages of the engraving process allowing the viewer to observe the evolution of Freida's artwork from initial sketches to finished gorgeous engravings. This volume is of particular interest to those interested in the technical aspects of printmaking. It should be noted that surprisingly Freida's powerful illustrated edition has never been subsequently reissued.

Joseph ha-Yerushalmi d. 1291 Fusá¹Äá¹ Egypt was a rigorous linguist and philologist philosopher and mystic and a biblical exegete of singular breadth. As well as providing us with an insight into the inner world of a profound and original thinker his oeuvre sheds light on a Jewish historical and cultural milieu that remains relatively poorly understood: the Islamic East in the post-Maimonidean period. In A Philosopher of Scripture: The Exegesis and Thought of Tanḥum ha-Yerushalmi Raphael Dascalu presents the first detailed intellectual portrait of Tanḥum ha-Yerushalmi.

Kipnis. Additionally the now famous images of Roman Vishniak were first presented to the public in this work. Profusely illustrated with b/w reproductions of photographs.

"In presenting this book to our readers we intend to give them the picture of the Jewish world in Eastern Europe as it existed during the 1920's and 1930's previous to the Second World War. This world does not exist any longer. It is a vanished world the world of East European Jewry that world in which for centuries the greatest concentration of Jewish people in history lived and worked. On the eve of the Second World War over seven million Jews resided in that part of Eastern Europe which was swept by Hitler's divisions in the years 1939-45. If we also include sections of Southern and Western Europe the Balkans Italy France Belgium Holland and Scandinavia the Jewish population under Nazi rule may be estimated at approximately 7.8 million persons. More than 9400000 Jews lived in the whole of Europe in 1939. Only about 3700000 are left now including the "Displaced Persons" in the UNRRA camps and those repatriated from Soviet Russia and Poland. Five million of these were exterminated in the death camps and the ghettos. About seven hundred thousand perished from starvation deportation epidemics and as a result of military operations. The East European period of Jewish history ended in the greatest catastrophe known to mankind." Raphael Abramovitch was a 20th century Russian Jewish political activist. As a Marxist he was part of the Jewish Bund. He took part in the Russian Revolution on the side of the Mensheviks. After the Bolshevik victory he fled to Germany France and eventually to the United States. Abramovitch was a vocal opponent of both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Are Jews today still the carriers of a single and identical collective identity and do they still constitute a single people This two-fold question arises when one compares a Hassidi Habad from Brooklyn a Jewish professor at a secular university in Brussels a traditional Yemeni Jew still living in Sana'a a Galilee kibbutznik or a Russian Jew in Novossibirsk. Is there still today a significant relationship between these individuals who all subscribe to Judaism The analysis shows that the Jewish identity is multiple and can be explained by considering all variants as "surface structures" of the three universal "deep structures" central to the notion of collective identity namely collective commitment perceptions of the collective's singularity and positioning vis-à-vis "others."

This book delves into Israeli society where internal divides have emerged from divergent value systems in a context of powerful globalization immigrant-society behavior and a sharp majority-minority division.

Jewry today is marked by transnational competing movements and local influences meanwhile worldwide Judeophobia and sympathy for the Palestinian cause make Israel the "Jew among nations". This volume asks: how much is the Jewish Commonwealth still pertinent to Jewry In this era of globalization Jewish diversity is marked more than ever by transnational expansion of competing movements and local influences on specific conditions. One factor that still makes Jewish communities one is the common reference to Israel. Today however differentiations and discrepancies in identification and behavior generate plurality and ambiguities about Israel-Diaspora relationships. Moreover the Judeophobia now rife in Europe and beyond as well as the spread of the Palestinian cause as a civil religion make Israel the world's "Jew among nations." This weighs heavily on community relations - despite Israel's active presence in the diaspora. In this context the contributions to this volume focus on Jewish peoplehood religiosity and ethnicity gender and generation Israelophobia and world Jewry and debate the perspectives that are most pertinent to confront the question: how far is the Jewish Commonwealth Klal Yisrael still an important code of Jewry today Publisher Contents: Preface; List of Contributors; Introduction; Part 1 Diaspora-Israel: Continuities versus Discontinuities; Chapter 1 Jewish Peoplehood: Hard Soft and Interactive Markers; Chapter 2 From World-Wide People to First-World People: The Consolidation of World Jewry; Chapter 3 The "Jewish Peoplehood" Concept: Complications and Suggestions; Chapter 4 Ethnicity and State Policy: The State of Israel in the Intellectual and Political Discourse of the US Jewish Press; Chapter 5 Close and Distant: The Relations between Israel and the Diaspora; Part 2 Religiosity and Ethnicity.; Chapter 6 The Reform and Conservative Movements in Israel: Strategies of Peripheral Movements in a Monopolized Religious Market; Chapter 7 Two Orthodox Cultures: "Centrist" Orthodoxy and Religious Zionism; Chapter 8 Ethnicity and Transnationalism: Latino Jews in Miami; Chapter 9 Strong Ethnicity: The Case of US-born Jews in Israel; Part 3 Gender and Generation; Chapter 10 Orthodox Jewish Women as a Bridge Between Israel and the Diaspora; Chapter 11 Gender Religion and the Search for a Modern Jewish Identity in "La rabina" by Silvia Plager.; Chapter 12 Global Jewish Youth Studies-Towards a TheoryChapter 13 Generational and Cultural Constructions of Jewish Peoplehood; Part 4 Israelophobia Anti-Zionism and "Neo"-Antisemitism; Chapter 14 Debasing Praise: Hatred of the Jews in a Global Age; Chapter 15 Integration and Antisemitism: The Case of French Jewry; Chapter 16 How Antisemitism Obsessive Criticism of Israel and Do-Gooders Complicate Jewish Life in Germany; Chapter 17 Anti-Zionist Discourse of the Left in Latin America: An Assessment.; Chapter 18 American Jews and the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process: A Study of Diaspora in International AffairsPart 5 Configurations of World Jewry and the State of Israel; Chapter 19 Jewish Diaspora and Transnationalism: Awkward Dance Partners; Chapter 20 The Dialectics of Diaspora in Contemporary Modernity; Chapter 21 Reflections on Israel and Jerusalem as the Centers of World Jewry; Chapter 22 Israel-Diaspora Relations: "Transmission Driving-belts" of Transnationalism; Epilogue: One-After All. . for the Time Being; Index.

1864rif. 50647Krotoschin Krotoszyn/ Vienna/ Frankfurt am Main: Printed by B.L. Monasch/ Jacob Schlossberg's Buchhandlung/ Printed by Ferdinand Hauch 1864. First German translations. Hardcover. g to vg-. Octavo. 3/4 black morocco over buckram boards. Gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Red speckled edges of book block. A complete set of the three parts of Maimonides acclaimed work The Guide for the Perplexed in German and Hebrew bound in one volume. All of the editions included here contain the first German translations of their respective parts of the text. Maimonides' intention with this work was to reconcile Aristotelian thought and logic with traditional Rabbinical Jewish theology. Originally written circa 1190 in Judeo-Arabic as Dalalat al-Ha'irin these writings takes the form of a lengthy three-part letter to his student Rabbi Joseph ben Judah of Ceuta and are seen as the main source for understanding Maimonides' philosophic view rather than his strictly being his views on Jewish law. It is the most known of his works in the non-Jewish world. The work's first translation into Hebrew was in 1204 by Rabbi Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon c.1150 - c.1230 a contemporary of Maimonides. Content: Moreh li-Tsedakah. Hu Sefer Moreh Nevukhim FIRST PART. 1839. Second German-language edition. 19 double-sided leaves with Hebrew pagination. 392pp. 3. In 1835 the first part of Maimonides acclaimed work was first translated into German with added commentary in Hebrew by Jacob Raphael Fürstenthal 1781-1855. That first edition featured the German translation printed in Latin script to accompany the Hebrew text. However for this second edition of that translation it is interesting to note that the text of the German is printed in Hebrew script. Content finely printed in double and single-column layouts with commentary printed in Rashi script. Divided in 76 chapters this part of the work contains discussions of an understanding and definition of the nature of God and divine anthropomorphism in the Hebrew bible including a detailed analysis of the Biblical Hebrew of the text to these ends. The final three pages included here contain and index in both Hebrew and German. BOUND WITH More Nebochim. Wegweiser für Berirrte SECOND PART. 1864. First German-language edition. x 99pp. This is the first German translation of the work's second part taken from the original Arabic text by way of the French translation by Salomon Munk 1861. The original Hebrew translation of the text is accompanied throughout by a translation and commentary in German by Max Emanuel Stern 1811-1873. Divided into 48 chapters the second part involves Maimonides discussion of proof of the existence of God the nature of creation the concept of prophecy and an examination of the 26 propositions for Aristotle's metaphysics. The initial pages contain introduction and foreword by Stern. Also included is a fold-out plate containing facsimile text from an original signed manuscript note from the hand of Maimonides himself written in Japhet son of Solomon's corrected manuscript copy of the Mishneh Torah held at Bodleian Library at Oxford MS Hunt.80 leaf 165a. AND WITH Dalalat al Haiirin Burechtweisung der Verirrten. Dritter Theil. THIRD PART. 1838. First German-language edition. viii 9 454pp. 5. This is the first German translation of the work's third part. Simon B. Scheyer 1804-1854 provides the translation and scholarly commentary in German to accompany the Hebrew of the text. This third and final part of Guide for the Perplexed is divided into 54 chapters and is considered the climax of the work and the culmination of Maimonides' previous analysis. Discussed are concepts including Jewish mysticism the Chariot of Ezekiel the moral aspects of the universe the problem of evil free will and the 613 mitzvot of the Torah. The final pages contain a scholarly index in German. Binding tight with some rubbing to extremities including the hinges of the spine. Spine and covers lightly sunned.
