Jewish: Encyclopedia II - Jewish humor - The history of Jewish humor

Jewish humor is rooted in at least two traditions. The first is the intellectual and legal methods of the Talmud, which uses elaborate legal arguments and situations so absurd as to be humorous in order to tease out the meaning of religious law. [1]. The second is an egalitarian tradition among the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe in which the powerful were often mocked subtly, rather than attacked overtly -- as Saul Bellow once said that "oppressed people tend to be witty." Jesters known as badchens used to poke fun at prominent members ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia II - Jewish humor - Types of Jewish humor
Jewish humor - Religious humor. The lives of the early hasidim, while not funny in and of themselves, are rich in humorous incidents. The dealings between rabbis, tzaddikim, and peasants form a rich tapestry of lore. Some jokes make fun of the "Rebbe miracle stories" and involve different hassidim bragging about their teachers' miraculous abilities: Three hasidim are bragging about their Rebbes: "My rebbe is very powerful. He was walking once, and there was a lake on his path. He waved ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia II - Jewish philosophy - Early Jewish philosophy

Early Jewish philosophy was heavily influenced by the philosophy of Plato, Aristotle and Islamic philosophy. Many early medieval Jewish philosophers (from the 8th century to end of the 9th century) were especially influenced by the Islamic Mutazilite philosophers; they denied all limiting attributes of God and were champions of God's unity and justice. Over time Aristotle came to be thought of as the philosopher par excellence among Jewish thinkers. This tendency was no less marked in the Islamic, the Ch ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - Jewish bereavement

Everything that Jews do regarding death is for one of two reasons: respect for the dead (kavod ha-met) or to console those left behind (nihum avelim). Jewish bereavement - Death bed. By Jewish law, Jews are forbidden to do anything to hasten a person's death but, are at the same time required to do anything possible to comfort the dying. So the spectrum of what can-and-cannot be done for a person on their deathbed goes to both extremes. There are some who will not touch a dying person for fear that something so mild ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - Jewish philosophy

Jewish philosophy is not a universally agreed-upon term, but it does exist as a field of scholarship. It is therefore a subject that requires careful analysis, definition, clarification and explanation. Some may claim that it is an attempt to fuse the fields of secular (even atheistic) philosophy with the religious teachings of Judaism (an Abrahamic religion). Others may claim that it is a relatively latter-day form of rationalization for Judaism itself. It should be noted that the primary source documents for Judaism, such as the Tor ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - World Jewish Congress

The World Jewish Congress (WJC) is an international federation of Jewish communities and organizations. It attempts to build consensus between different Jewish groups of varying political and religious orientations; it works to act as a diplomatic envoy for the worldwide Jewish community. It is a Zionist organization, strongly supporting the State of Israel. The WJC includes Jewish organizations from across North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Israel and the Pacific. One of its major new programs is concerned with the plight of Jewish refugees from Arab lands. The WJC is involved in ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - Jewish Messiah

The Jewish Messiah, (משיח) or Mashiach, or Moshiach, has traditionally referred to a future Jewish king from the Davidic line who will be "anointed" (in Hebrew, mashiach -- משיח ("messiah") means "anointed" with holy olive oil) and inducted to rule the Jewish people. In Standard Hebrew the Messiah is often referred to as מלך המשיח Méleḫ haMašíaḥ (Tiberian Hebrew Méleḵ hamMāšîªḥ), literall ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - Jewish services

Jewish services are the communal prayer recitations which form part of the observance of Judaism. These prayers, often with instructions and commentary, are found in the siddur, the traditional Jewish prayer book. Jewish men are required to pray three times daily and four times daily on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays (five times on Yom Kippur). While prayer alone is valid, praying with a minyan (quorum of ten adult males) is considered ideal. Many synagogues (particularly Reform and Conservative, and large Orthodox ones ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - Jewish holiday

A Jewish holiday or Jewish Festival is a day or series of days observed by Jews as holy or secular commemorations of important events in Jewish history. In Hebrew, Jewish holidays and festivals, depending on their nature, may be called Yom Tov ("good day") or chag ("festival") or ta'nit ("fast"). Outside of a Jewish context, all Jewish holidays appear to be "religious holidays" but that is not actually the case. It is important to understand that Judaism is so old that it is simultaneously a religion ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - Jewish principles of faith

There are a number of basic Jewish principles of faith that one is expected to uphold in order to be said to be in consonance with the Jewish faith. However, unlike most Christian denominations, the Jewish community has never developed any one binding catechism. A number of formulations of Jewish beliefs have appeared, though there is some dispute over how many basic principles there are. Rabbi Joseph Albo, for instance, in Sefer Ha-Ikkarim counts three principles of faith, while Maimonides lists thirteen. While some lat ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - American Jewish Congress

The American Jewish Congress is a civil rights body formed both to protect the civil rights of Jewish Americans, as well as to act as a conduit for pro-civil rights activities in the American Jewish community. The heyday of the organization was the 1960s, when many of its activities coincided with the larger American civil rights movement. However, with the dropoff in its membership throughout the 1980s and 1990s, it briefly considered a merger with the other AJC, the American Jewish C ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia - Azriel Jewish mystic

Azriel was one of the most important Jewish mystics in the Spanish town of Gerona (north of Barcelona) during the thirteenth century when it was an important center of the Kabbalah. (The most important figure from the kabbalist community of Gerona was Nahmanides.) Azriel was the most important student of the neo-Platonist mystic Isaac the Blind.

Judaism considers marriage to be the ideal state of existence; a man without a wife, or a woman without a husband, are considered incomplete. Jewish view of marriage - Classical customs.

A number of large Christian groups have publicly declared that they will no longer proselytize Jews. Christian-Jewish reconciliation - Post-Holocaust relations.

Jewish: Encyclopedia II - Jewish philosophy - Modern Jewish philosophy

One of the major trends in modern Jewish philosophy was the attempt to develop a theory of Judaism through existentialism. One of the primary players in this field was Franz Rosenzweig. While researching his doctoral dissertation on the 19th-century German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Rosenzweig reacted against Hegel's idealism and favored an existential approach. Rosenzweig, for a time, considered conversion to Christianity, but in 1913, he turned to Jewish philosophy. He became a philosopher and student of Hermann Cohen. Roze ...

Jewish: Encyclopedia II - Jewish bereavement - Burial

The Torah requires burial, even for executed criminals (Deut. 21:23). Jews are buried in caskets that aren't hermetically sealed. Man was created from dust, and when he dies his body is supposed to return to the dust (Gen. 3:19). Jacob and Joseph were embalmed, but that was before the Torah was given. Unclaimed dead require respectful burial (see Burial in Jew. Encyc. iii. 432b: "met miẓwah"). Jewish bereavement - Jewish view of cremation.
