Hello All,

Is WorldCat the best place to find Israeli dissertations? What about digitized 
dissertations?

Thanks,

Re: [ha-Safran] locating Israeli dissertations

[Heidi G Lerner]

Hi Anne,


You would probably be better off searching the Israel Union Catalog. It should 
all Israeli dissertations:


"lib.ac.il"


Go to "other catalogs:


For all dissertations:


select: "ULITHE - Theses 
Only"


For electronic dissertations


select "ULIETHE - E-Theses 
Only"


Best, Heiid

[ha-Safran] Jewish Short Story Course for High School Students

[Rachel Kamin]

I have been charged with teaching a Jewish short story class for our high
school students.  The class will meet once/week for 1 hour and I can't
expect the students to do any "homework" or reading outside of the class
meeting.  If anyone else has experience with this, I would greatly
appreciate any input & advice especially any syllabuses, reading
suggestions, resources, etc.

 

Many thanks!

[ha-Safran] need suggestions

[Debbie Drachman]

Looking for some help.

I recently acquired a box of old magazines; Life, Look Israel, Israel Magazine, 
The Weekly Standard, Newsweek... just to name a few.  Most of them are dated 
1960-1970s.  Many of them highlight historic events in the U.S. and in Israel.  
They are all in excellent condition.

Any ideas on what to do with them?

Thank you for your recommendations.

[ha-Safran] Purity and Community in Antiquity

[Celestina Levant]

Hello,
We would like to introduce a new book published by The Hebrew university Magnes 
press:

Purity and Community in Antiquity
Traditions of the Law from Second Temple Judaism to the Mishnah
By Yair 
Furstenberg

How did purity evolve into the one most significant religious category during 
the Second Temple period? What was the role of purity discourse in the 
reformation of Jewish society and religion in Late Antiquity?
The concern for purity shaped Second Temple Judaism, and its significance 
expanded far beyond the limited realm of the Temple. The fear of impurity 
shaped daily conduct, stood at the heart of ideological discourse and set the 
contours of Jewish society. The question how to ensure ritual and moral purity 
was of cosmic dimensions, and therefore determined the dividing lines between 
the main parties of Jewish society in Palestine. The Qumran sect developed the 
notion of the defiling sin, and Jesus was viewed by his followers as the 
ultimate purifier. Against these alternatives, this book offers a comprehensive 
analysis of the purity policy in the teachings of the dominant Pharisees. Early 
rabbinic traditions alongside anti-pharisaic sources uncover a controversial 
policy focused on the body and not on the purity of the Temple. They provided 
purification to wider social circles, while preserving its role in maintaining 
their own status. The book further demonstrates the fundamental change of 
religious life and social practices from the Second Temple period through the 
rise of the rabbinic movement, which offered a new version of ritual purity and 
community. A close analysis of the halakhic traditions in rabbinic literature 
reveals the gradual disintegration of the ancient religious culture and the 
emergence of the rabbinic culture within new social contexts.
Dr. Yair Furstenberg is a senior lecturer at the Department of Jewish History 
at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and a Fellow in the Shalom Hartman 
Institute in Jerusalem.
