Several issues of translation must be dealt with while considering these rare and disappearing practices. The first issue to be discussed is the translation of Hebrew inscriptions into French by cemetery keepers. One cemetery keeper in Meknes has tried to compile an exhaustive index of the names and dates represented on the gravestones under her care. The Muslim guard of the Jewish cemetery in Sefrou, on the other hand, has somewhat famously told visitors differing stories about his ability and willingness to pray the Kaddish over the graves of emigrated relatives who cannot return to mark an anniversary death. These practices provide the context for considering how the act of Muslims caring for Jewish graves creates linguistic and ritual translations of traditional Jewish ancestor care.}, language = {en} } @article{Ehrensperger2017, author = {Ehrensperger, Kathy}, title = {Narratives of Belonging}, series = {Early Christianity}, volume = {8}, journal = {Early Christianity}, publisher = {Mohr Siebeck}, address = {T{\"u}bingen}, issn = {1868-7032}, doi = {10.1628/186870317X15017545210233}, pages = {373 -- 392}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Die Darstellungen genealogischer Netzwerke waren in der Antike Ausdruck der Weltsicht ihrer Erz{\"a}hler, mit deren Hilfe N{\"a}he und Distanz zwischen verschiedenen Gruppen und V{\"o}lkern ausgedr{\"u}ckt und hergestellt werden konnte.

For rather than responding to Rosenzweig's critique, Buber seems to retreat in silence, claiming to be "unable to speak" about his position on Jewish Law. Scholars have generally tried to explain Buber's failure to respond on philosophical and biographical grounds. What I propose, by contrast, is to revisit the question of Buber's silence and secrecy from a hermeneutical standpoint, arguing that Buber engaged in a deliberate strategy of concealment that constituted its own form of response. The hermeneutics of silence discloses a call for religious renewal that follows a state of Dialogvergessenheit, but which cannot be made audible. Neither dialogue nor its remembrance can be commanded. While Buber struggles with his Nichtredenk{\"o}nnen, he also stands in a tradition of secretive hermeneutics - the Jewish hermeneutics of sod.}, language = {en} } @article{Homolka2017, author = {Homolka, Walter}, title = {Truthfulness and the permissibility of falsehood in the Jewish tradition}, series = {Journal of beliefs and values : studies in religion \& education}, volume = {38}, journal = {Journal of beliefs and values : studies in religion \& education}, number = {2}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1361-7672}, doi = {10.1080/13617672.2017.1291253}, pages = {180 -- 187}, year = {2017}, abstract = {In this article, I deal with the concept of truth and lie in Jewish traditional literature, examining its development in the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic literature.
