Tomás Abraham se pregunta en este libro por qué vino de Rumania (y aun así se considera argentino), por qué sus padres se salvaron del genocidio de 350.000 judíos rumanos y por qué en su ciudad natal las sinagogas, sin daños aparentes, estan cerradas con candados.Para responder a estas inquietudes, traza un recorrido por la entreguerra en el que no solo muestra la gradual implementacion de una politica de segregacion hasta llegar a la masacre, sino tambien la enorme produccion cultural de creadores con talento que contribuyeron con la exterminacion de una de sus principales minorias.Uno de los intelectuales mas lucidos de la Argentina desafia, en La matanza negada, las politicas negacionistas de Estados nacionales de Europa Central y el ocultamiento de renombrados pensadores, como Emil Cioran y Mircea Eliade que, en complicidad con grupos paramilitares, como la Guardia de Hierro, fueron responsables de uno de los mayores crimenes de la historia.

The text of 2 Maccabees (Makkabaion 2) offers a rich historical narrative that recounts the Maccabean revolt against Hellenistic rule in Judea, focusing particularly on the themes of faith, resistance, and divine intervention. Written in an engaging and lively style, the book employs a dramatic retelling, mixing both historical episodes and theological reflections that invite readers to consider the significance of Jewish identity and culture during a period of intense persecution. As one of the deuterocanonical books, it occupies a unique position in the corpus of biblical literature, showcasing the tension between Hellenism and the Jewish tradition, while also highlighting the urgency of maintaining religious fervor in the face of adversity. The identity of the author remains anonymous, yet the text reflects a deep concern for the preservation of Jewish heritage, likely influenced by the socio-political climate of the late second century BCE. It is believed that the author, drawing from a wealth of oral traditions and preceding texts, sought to inspire and unify the Jewish community, confronting the challenges posed by foreign domination and internal strife. This context not only sheds light on the motivational impetus for the work but also enriches the readers understanding of the struggles inherent in maintaining cultural identity. I highly recommend 2 Maccabees to anyone interested in the intersections of history, religion, and literature. Its compelling narrative, vibrant characters, and profound theological insights make it an essential read for scholars and lay readers alike. The work serves not only as a historical document but also as a timeless reflection on resilience and faith in the face of overwhelming odds.

The work is marked by its critical analysis and an impassioned commitment to illuminating the richness of Jewish heritage against a backdrop of challenges and transformations. Morris Jastrow was a prominent American scholar of Semitic languages and an influential figure in Judaic studies during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In "Against Apion," the ancient historian Flavius Josephus presents a vigorous defense of Judaism against the criticisms of the Greek historian Apion. Written in the context of first-century Roman society, Josephus employs a blend of rhetorical brilliance and historical detail to counter anti-Semitic narratives, asserting the antiquity and values of Jewish traditions. The text stands as a testament to Josephuss literary style, characterized by its erudition and polemic fervor, as he weaves together history, philosophy, and appeals to cultural pride, all while seeking to elevate the Jewish legacy in the face of Hellenistic skepticism. Flavius Josephus, born into a priestly family and well-versed in both Jewish and Greco-Roman culture, sought to bridge the divide between these worlds. His unique position as a Jewish general who later became a Roman citizen profoundly shaped his writings. Josephuss motivations in crafting "Against Apion" stem from his experiences of conflict, his pursuit of reconciliation, and his desire to preserve Jewish identity amidst increasing external pressures during and after the Jewish-Roman Wars. Readers seeking a nuanced understanding of the historical dialogue between Judaism and Hellenism will find "Against Apion" invaluable. This work not only serves as a crucial historical artifact but also as a rich source of insight into the Jewish experience in a period of turbulence, making it essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history alike.

Talmud is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law (halakha) and Jewish theology. The term "Talmud" normally refers to the collection of writings named specifically the Babylonian Talmud (Talmud Bavli). It may also traditionally be called Shas, a Hebrew abbreviation of shisha sedarim, or the "six orders" of the Mishnah. The Talmud consists of tractates and contains the teachings and opinions of thousands of rabbis (dating from before the Common Era through to the fifth century) on a variety of subjects, including halakha, Jewish ethics, philosophy, customs, history, and folklore, and many other topics. The Talmud is the basis for all codes of Jewish law and is widely quoted in rabbinic literature. This version is the new edition of the Babylonian Talmud with original text edited, corrected, formulated and translated into English by Michael L. Rodkinson.Table of ContentsBook 1: Tract SabbathBook 2: Tracts Erubin, Shekalim, Rosh HashanaBook 3: Tracts Pesachim, Yomah and HagigaBook 4: Tracts Betzah, Succah, Moed Katan, Taanith, Megilla and Ebel Rabbathi or SemahothBook 5: Tracts Aboth, Derech Eretz-Rabba, Derech Eretz-Zuta, and Baba Kama (First Gate)Book 6: Tract Baba Kama (First Gate), Part II and Tract Baba Metzia (Middle Gate)Book 7: Tract Baba Bathra (Last Gate)Book 8: Tract Sanhedrin: Section Jurisprudence (Damages)Book 9: Tracts Maccoth, Shebuoth, Eduyoth, Abuda Zara, and HoriothBook 10: History of the Talmud

Biblical Psalms are a common heritage of Jewish and Christian cultures. Serving for the common liturgy of the Jerusalem Temple and individual prayers since biblical times they inspired Hebrew poetical language. The Qumran community, as well as Jewish and Christian communities of Late Antiquity attributed to them a special authority and apotropaic function. Quoted and interpreted in various ways in the New Testament and Rabbinic tradition they had a fundamental role in regular liturgies since the Middle Ages. Referred to in medical texts, recited on pilgrimages and at funeral vigils they represented an important aspect of folk religion and the formation of religious identity. The present volume is intended to show the many ways the Psalms were used and enjoyed a lasting popularity in regular and folk religion, collectively and individually, from antiquity until today.

The study of ancient Judaism has enjoyed a steep rise in interest and publications in recent decades, although the focus has often been on the ideas and beliefs represented in ancient Jewish texts rather than on the daily lives and the material culture of Jews/Judaeans and their communities. The nascent institution of the synagogue formed an increasingly important venue for communal gathering and daily or weekly practice. This collection of essays brings together a broad spectrum of new archaeological and textual data with various emergent theories and interpretative methods in order to address the need to understand the place of the synagogue in the daily and weekly procedures, community frameworks, and theological structures in which Judaeans, Galileans, and Jewish people in the Diaspora lived and gathered. The interdisciplinary studies will be of great significance for anyone studying ancient Jewish belief, practice, and community formation.

Baron, a noted Jewish scholar and historian in the early 20th century, devoted much of his career to the understanding and application of Jewish texts in modern contexts. His own experiences as a Jew grappling with the weight of tradition in a changing world undoubtedly informed his insights.

This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of faith, identity, and history. Barons thought-provoking examination will resonate with scholars, clergy, and laypeople alike, as it offers both a rich historical perspective and a timely reflection on the enduring power of scripture in shaping modern Jewish life.

¿Que sabemos los espanoles de Sefarad? Dice la autora de este ensayo, que "en muchas ocasiones junto a las preguntas que se hacia en diferentes edades, sobre todo en epocas de crisis, como: "¿Quien soy?" ademas, ha debido responder a la de: "¿Quien eres?", o para ser mas precisa: "¿Quienes sois?". Sentia que en ese sois habia exclusion y diferencia.Durante mucho tiempo se sintio en la obligacion, sin que nadie se lo pidiera, de responder. Y al hacerlo tenia que explicar el judaismo y Sefarad como patrimonio de todos nosotros, aunque muchos lo ignoren. Al escribir este libro, Esther Bendahan ha pretendido traer al presente una forma de ser espanol, una nacion de Espana sin territorio. Porque hoy, que tantas dudas suscita la idea de Espana, es bueno recordar.
