The Hebrew Folktale in Premodern Morality Literature
Recontextualizing early modern Musar folktales to reveal a new reading of premodern Jewish texts. This pioneering exploration shows that in the early modern world, printed works on morality and ethics served as an important conveyor of classic Jewish folktales and as an important channel of leisure reading in premodern Jewish culture. Utilizing a corpus of over 400 Musartales, author Vered Tohar carefully opens a path to understand the thematic and poetic features of those tales. This innovative reframing of early modern Musar texts reveals a new history of Jewish folklore and emphasizes the continuity of Hebrew literature from medieval to modern era. Tohar classifies these stories, which sh...
New Perspectives on Jewish-Christian Relations
The delicate balance between toleration and repulsion of the Jews, a tiny minority living within the Christian world, stands at the center of studies of religion and society. The development of this difficult relationship on many levels, theological, institutional, and individual, is a matter of continuing relevance in religious history from ancient to contemporary contexts. This volume, written by the leading scholars of Jewish-Christian engagement, seeks to revisit the question in light of new sources and re-readings of older sources. The old view of two implacable enemies battling for their version of truth, of Jews living as insular pariahs within a hostile world, the tale of persecution...
Jerusalem and Other Holy Places as Foci of Multireligious and Ideological Confrontation
Jerusalem and Other Holy Places as Foci of Multireligious and Ideological Confrontation brings together the papers that were read at an international conference at the Schechter Institute in Jerusalem in May 2018. The contributions to this volume develop a multi-disciplinary perspective on holy places and their development, rhetorical force, and oft-contested nature. Through a particular focus on Jerusalem, this volume demonstrates the variety in the study of holy places, as well as the flexibility of geographic and historical aspects of holiness.
A Handbook of Biblical Reception in Jewish, European Christian, and Islamic Folklores
This first volume of a two-volume Handbook treats a challenging, largely neglected subject at the crossroads of several academic fields: biblical studies, reception history of the Bible, and folklore studies or folkloristics. The Handbook examines the reception of the Bible in verbal folklores of different cultures around the globe. This first volume, complete with a general Introduction, focuses on biblically-derived characters, tales, motifs, and other elements in Jewish (Mizrahi, Sephardi, Ashkenazi), Romance (French, Romanian), German, Nordic/Scandinavian, British, Irish, Slavic (East, West, South), and Islamic folkloric traditions. The volume contributes to the understanding of the Hebr...
Memory – Papers Read at the Jewish and Christian Perspectives Conference, Utrecht 2022
Memory – Papers Read at the Jewish and Christian Perspectives Conference, Utrecht 2022 connects past, present, and future. This conference volume demonstrates the diversity of ‘memory’ in the Jewish and Christian traditions. ‘Memory’ turns out to be a key to investigating and better understanding many aspects of Judaism and Christianity, including their mutual relationship. In these traditions, memory is not simply about recalling events, but about preserving identity, culture, and divine teachings. The act of remembering is central to how communities pass down their religious beliefs, laws, and moral frameworks across generations. It also plays a role in communal cohesion, ensuring that the experiences of the fathers and their wisdom would not get lost, but rather actively re-lived and celebrated.
Friendship in Jewish History, Religion, and Culture
The ubiquity of friendship in human culture contributes to the fallacy that ideas about friendship have not changed and remained consistent throughout history. It is only when we begin to inquire into the nature and significance of the concept in specific contexts that we discover how complex it truly is. Covering the vast expanse of Jewish tradition, from ancient Israel to the twenty-first century, this collection of essays traces the history of the beliefs, rituals, and social practices surrounding friendship in Jewish life. Employing diverse methodological approaches, this volume explores the particulars of the many varied forms that friendship has taken in the different regions where Jew...
Betweenness
Betweenness is a sketchbook of visual narratives exploring the veiling as an expression, the presentation of women and their depiction within mythology and religion intertwined with the global confusion of our era. Historically, nude female models have posed in primarily male artist's studios. Betweenness places the concealed woman into the artificial environment of the studio using poses in combination with studio props to contradict preconceived traditional expectations of the covered woman.

אברהם בכבשן האש
הספר עוקב אחר גלגוליה של התימה היהודית אברהם בכבשן האש באמצעות עשרות גרסאות שנכתבו בעברית ובלשונות היהודים החל במדרש הקלאסי וכלה במאה העשרים. תפוצתה הנרחבת של התימה ואזכוריה הרבים מעידים על הדומיננטיות שלה בתרבות היהודית ומלמדים שהמשמעויות הטמונות בה חורגות מעבר לאירועי אור כשדים בהיותן מבטאות את מעמקי הנפש האנושית. עיקרו של הסיפור טמון בחוויית המרד המשחררת את אברהם מכבליה של הת...
