In contemporary culture, where the term "privilege" has become an unfortunate source of contention, Deuteronomy might point a way for recognition of one's relative privilege in regard to an Other as a basis for gratitude and responsibility. This essay argues that we have gained "privilege" after having been immigrants and strangers in a strange land. Privilege could become an empowering and challenging exercise of counting one's blessings and considering how these could be used for the benefit of others, including strangers in our land.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Tzoref2017, author = {Tzoref, Shani}, title = {Dignity Therapy and the Case of the Testaments of Abraham: Biblical and Early post-Biblical Precursors to Chochinov's Generativity Documents}, series = {Biḳur ḥolim : Die Begleitung Kranker und Sterbender im Judentum Bikkur Cholim, j{\"u}dische Seelsorge und das j{\"u}dische Verst{\"a}ndnis von Medizin und Pflege}, booktitle = {Biḳur ḥolim : Die Begleitung Kranker und Sterbender im Judentum Bikkur Cholim, j{\"u}dische Seelsorge und das j{\"u}dische Verst{\"a}ndnis von Medizin und Pflege}, publisher = {Hentrich \& Hentrich}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95565-213-5}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {64 -- 108}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @incollection{Tzoref2018, author = {Tzoref, Shani}, title = {Mourning for and by Sarah (i.e., Genesis 23-24: Analysis) of Biblical Receptions in Light of Contemporary Bereavement Research}, series = {Vom Umgang mit Verlust und Trauer im Judentum : Loss and mourning in the Jewish tradition}, booktitle = {Vom Umgang mit Verlust und Trauer im Judentum : Loss and mourning in the Jewish tradition}, publisher = {Hentrich und Hentrich Verlag Berlin}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95565-247-0}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {232 -- 266}, year = {2018}, language = {en} }
