  abstract  = {In postsocialist Potsdam, religious diversity has risen surprisingly in public life since 1990 although more than 80\% of the residents have no religious affiliation. City and state authorities have actively embraced issues around immigration and integration as well as the promotion of religious diversity and interreligious dialogue and have linked this to the agenda of rejuvenating the city's religious heritage. For years, negotiations have been going on about the need of a mosque, the reconstructions of a synagogue and the so-called "Garrison Church," a landmark military church building. These initiatives have been dominating the public space for different reasons. They implied, beyond religion, questions of memory, identity, immigration, and culture. This article puts these three cases into perspective to offer a nuanced understanding of the importance of religious spaces in secular contexts considering city politics.},

  abstract  = {This study offers a view into Buber's conception of the social role of the "person of spirit" - the individual who, in other contexts, would be called philosopher, thinker, or intellectual.A key element of the person of spirit's role, according to Buber, is the evaluation of social reality - judging the public's ability to be guided by the realm of the spirit at any given hour while responding to the challenges that this particular hour may present. 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.},

  abstract  = {Luis de Carvajal the Younger (1567-1596) is without doubt one of the most famous victims of the Mexican Inquisition. In 1595, Luis and his family were found guilty of "Judaizing" and sentenced to death. Due to his autobiography and letters which survived in the dossiers of his trials, scholars have been able to trace important aspects of Carvajal's life, his religious thought, and his self-fashioning as a Jewish martyr. 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. It thus contributes to the exploration of entanglements between Jewish and Christian eschatological expectations in the early modern Atlantic World.},

  abstract  = {This paper focuses on the first substantial translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses into modern Hebrew, whose author was Yehoshua Friedman (1885-1934). The first part of the paper sets Friedman into the context of modern Hebrew classical philology and explores the character of his verse. The core of the text consists of three case studies of selected excerpts from Ovid's story of Apollo and Daphne (Met. I, 456-465; 481-482; 545-552). Based on detailed linguistic and stylistic analysis of these texts, I argue that Friedman did not simply adopt a pre-existing linguistic register, but rather created an original Ovidian idiom that helped to win him lasting significance in the history of Hebrew translations from classical languages.},
