As early as June 1974, the synagogue was admitted to the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the umbrella organization of the Reform congregations in the United States. Previously, the potential acceptance of a congregation by and for homosexual Jews triggered an intense and broad debate within Reform Judaism. The work asks how it was possible to successfully establish a gay-lesbian synagogue at a time when homosexual acts were considered unnatural and contrary to tradition by almost the entire Jewish community. The starting point of the argumentation is, in addition to general changes in American synagogues after World War II, the assumption that Los Angeles was the most suitable place for this foundation. Los Angeles has an impressive queer history and the Jewish community was more open, tolerant and innovative here than its counterpart on the East Coast. The Metropolitan Community Church was also founded in the city, and as the largest religious institution for homosexual Christians, it also served as the birthplace of queer synagogues. Reform Judaism was chosen as the place of institutional integration of the community because a relative openness for such an endeavor was only seen here. Responsa written in response to a potential admission of Beth Chayim Chadashim can be used to understand the arguments and positions of rabbis and psychologists regarding homosexuality and communities for homosexual Jews in the early 1970s. Ultimately, the commitment and dedication of the congregation and its heterosexual supporters convinced the decision-makers in Reform Judaism. The decisive impulse to question the situation of homosexual Jews in Judaism came from Los Angeles.

These and related questions have been the focus of modern Jewish family research, which took shape as a discipline in the 1910s. This issue of PaRDeS traces the origins of academic Jewish family research and takes stock of its development over a century, with its ruptures that have added to the importance of familial roots and continuities.

In Kabbalah, zimzum is a term for God's self-limitation, done before creating the world to create the world. Jewish mystic Isaac Luria coined this term in Galilee in the sixteenth century, positing that the God who was "Ein-Sof," unlimited and omnipresent before creation, must concentrate himself in the zimzum and withdraw in order to make room for the creation of the world in God's own center. At the same time, God also limits his infinite omnipotence to allow the finite world to arise. Without the zimzum there is no creation, making zimzum one of the basic concepts of Judaism. The Lurianic doctrine of the zimzum has been considered an intellectual showpiece of the Kabbalah and of Jewish philosophy. The teaching of the zimzum has appeared in the Kabbalistic literature across Central and Eastern Europe, perhaps most famously in Hasidic literature up to the present day and in philosopher and historian Gershom Scholem's epoch-making research on Jewish mysticism. The Zimzum has fascinated Jewish and Christian theologians, philosophers, and writers like no other Kabbalistic teaching. This can be seen across the philosophy and cultural history of the twentieth century as it gained prominence among such diverse authors and artists as Franz Rosenzweig, Hans Jonas, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Harold Bloom, Barnett Newman, and Anselm Kiefer. This book follows the traces of the zimzum across the Jewish and Christian intellectual history of Europe and North America over more than four centuries, where Judaism and Christianity, theosophy and philosophy, divine and human, mysticism and literature, Kabbalah and the arts encounter, mix, and cross-fertilize the interpretations and appropriations of this doctrine of God's self-entanglement and limitation}, language = {en} } @article{Schramm2019, author = {Schramm, Netta}, title = {Radical Translation as Transvaluation}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien = Transformative Translations in Jewish History and Culture}, volume = {2019}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien = Transformative Translations in Jewish History and Culture}, number = {25}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-468-5}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-47137}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-471374}, pages = {73 -- 87}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Scholars of modern Jewish thought explore the hermeneutics of "translation" to describe the transference of concepts between discourses.

Unlike a census or a survey, which focuses on individuals, RME presents the locations (mosques, churches, synagogues, temples and other venues) together with the history and social profiles of the congregations meeting there. [insert tiny map or part of it] The data were obtained by visiting the locations, observing their services, interviewing community leaders (mostly imams and priests), evaluating information from the Ministry of Endowment and Religious Affairs, and by consulting websites. All investigations followed the same pattern, consisting of (I) spatiotemporal and (III) social dimensions, framed by (II) religious performance.}, language = {en} } @article{Salner2010, author = {Salner, Peter}, title = {The Holocaust and the Jewish Identity in Slovakia}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, number = {16}, issn = {1614-6492}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-43509}, pages = {117 -- 133}, year = {2010}, abstract = {This study deals with the impacts of the Holocaust on the identity of the Jewish community in Slovakia.

However, one question that has not yet been entirely discussed is Carvajal's messianism in the context of New World geographies and influences. This chapter uses Carvajal's autobiography, his letters, and his declarations during the trials to analyze the meaning of "the Americas" in Carvajal's eschatological thought and to reflect upon possible influences from Mexican Franciscans and Christian millenarians with whom Carvajal was in contact between 1590 and 1595. It places Carvajal's case in the broader context of recent studies of "converso messianism" and Jewish-Christian interactions in early modern eschatological and millenarian settings.

Cultural difference was expressed in terms of temporal distance while temporal distance was attributed to spatial remoteness.

The person of spirit is required to constantly mediate between "heaven" and "earth" - between the ideal and reality - even if in a particular situation the moral action which has to be taken can only be partial, and will fall short of the absolute demand of the spirit.Buber emphasizes that the influence of the spirit on reality always begins with an effort of the "person of spirit" to transform him or herself from a monological to a dialogical person. Without a dialogical affinity between the person of spirit and their community, there can be no real effect of the spirit on reality.The person of spirit is, therefore, according to Buber, fully involved in the social life of the community. Our study shows that Buber shaped this figure of the "person of spirit" by combining the model of the biblical prophet, who is sent to the people, with the model of the Hasidic leader who acts according to the principle of the "Descent of the Zaddik." The person of spirit is required to live their life in a "Thou" relationship with their community, and is therefore frequently descending from an elevated spiritual level to the level of the people, in order to empathetically share their mundane worries, fears, and afflictions.By comparing the models of the biblical prophet and the Hassidic Zaddik to the model of the Greek prophetes and Plato's philosopher-king, we can, according to Buber, reflect on the role of the person of spirit in society in our time as well.}, language = {en} } @article{Kosman2009, author = {Kosman, Admiʾel}, title = {What did Cain say to Abel?}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, number = {15}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1614-6492}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-36293}, pages = {157 -- 160}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{Kosman2009, author = {Kosman, Admiʾel}, title = {What did Cain say to Abel?}, issn = {1614-6492}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @book{Kosman2011, author = {Kosman, Admiʾel}, title = {Approaching you in English : selected poems}, publisher = {Zephyr Press}, address = {Brookline, Mass.}, isbn = {978-0-9815521-4-9}, pages = {130 S.}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{Kosman2021, author = {Kosman, Admiʾel}, title = {A Journey Through the Gates of Good and Evil in Jewish Sources}, series = {Zeramim : an Online Journal of Applied Jewish Thought}, volume = {V}, journal = {Zeramim : an Online Journal of Applied Jewish Thought}, number = {2}, issn = {2577-4921}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{Kosman2018, author = {Kosman, Admiʾel}, title = {An Overview of Masculinity in Judaism}, series = {God's own gender?}, journal = {God's own gender?}, publisher = {Ergon}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-95650-453-2}, pages = {149 -- 183}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{Knufinke2010, author = {Knufinke, Ulrich}, title = {Wilhelm Zeev Haller (1884-1956)}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, number = {16}, issn = {1614-6492}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-43552}, pages = {177 -- 182}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{Knufinke2009, author = {Knufinke, Ulrich}, title = {Building a modern Jewish city}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, number = {15}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1614-6492}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-36246}, pages = {54 -- 70}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{Kerbel2008, author = {Kerbel, Arturo}, title = {"Dear brother!

There he quickly attained the rank of a political officer and military commander. Balweg held teachings on Marxism in remote villages, he organized several ambushes on government troops and conducted people's courts against traitors. Over time he developed a special indigenous Maoism and broke away from the party-line and, which was the reason why he was killed by the NPA in 1999. In a contextualized biographical portrait we track the question: How did Maoist thought become part of Balweg's conviction? As a hypothesis we assumed, that Maoist thought was integrated in Catholic tenets (e.g. interpreting God's will as the will of the masses). After a close analysis of intellectual backgrounds and political events it turned out, that Maoist ideology superseded religious motives instead. This is crucial to understand if violence was justified in the name of God or in the name of the people.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hafner2020, author = {Hafner, Johann Evangelist}, title = {From indoctrination to testimonials}, series = {Communicating Religion and Atheism in central and eastern europe}, booktitle = {Communicating Religion and Atheism in central and eastern europe}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-11-054637-8}, pages = {121 -- 144}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This book brings together case studies dealing with historical as well as recent phenomena in former socialist nations, which testify the transfer of knowledge about religion and atheism. The material is connected on a semantic level by the presence of a historical watershed before and after socialism as well as on a theoretical level by the sociology of knowledge. With its focus on Central and Eastern Europe this volume is an important contribution to the research on nonreligion and secularity. The collected volume deals with agents and media within specific cultural and historical contexts. Theoretical claims and conceptions by single agents and/or institutions in which the imparting of knowledge about religion and atheism was or is a central assignment, are analyzed. Additionally, procedures of transmitting knowledge about religion and atheism and of sustaining related institutionalized norms, interpretations, roles and practices are in the focus of interest. The book opens the perspective for the multidimensional and negotiating character of legitimation processes, being involved in the establishment or questioning of the institutionalized opposition between religion and atheism or religion and science.}, language = {en} } @article{Hafner2023, author = {Hafner, Johann Evangelist}, title = {The abrahamic religions}, series = {Being an Becoming : Festschrift in honour of Prof. Dr. Mathew Chandrakunnel}, journal = {Being an Becoming : Festschrift in honour of Prof. Dr. Mathew Chandrakunnel}, editor = {Raja, KCR}, publisher = {Heritage Publishers}, address = {Neu Dehli}, isbn = {978-81-7026-542-9}, pages = {119 -- 124}, year = {2023}, language = {en} }
