The article analyzes the accusation of atheism towards Jews in Classical Antiquity, specifically in Athens and Rome. It focuses on the works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus, who recorded this accusation in their writings. The article seeks to better understand the topic of atheism in Antiquity and the accusation of atheism towards Jews according to Josephus. It examines the logic behind why Jews were accused of atheism in the classical world, using the arguments of Anders Drachmann and Georges Minois. It also discusses the possible punishment and social exclusion of atheists in ancient Athens. [Extracted from the article]

To speak of human mobility is to speak of a fact that can be addressed from two points of view: the causes--or situations that motivate the departure from one's own territory; and the consequences--the situations that migrants encounter in the places of destination. While some individuals understand such mobility as a resource for solving problems in the places of origin, others perceive it as a threat and a social burden that shakes cultural and social relationships. The books of the Bible describe such situations intertwined with salvation history, in which God makes himself present. In some parts, these books describe the circumstances that motivated entire populations to go out in search of better lands; and in others, they describe how were these people received, and the challenges they faced in building a new story in the places where they arrived. The Bible assigns an important position to the migrant, either to guide the way in which she or he should be received, or to tell migrants what to do when arriving in a foreign place; this, because the people of Israel will consider themselves as foreigners as long as they can return to God's promised land. Thus, begins the so-called historical creed in the book of Deuteronomy: "My father was a wandering Aramean" (Dt 26:5). The Old Testament offers many stories of characters who have left their homeland, seeking for a better destiny, while God guarantees them protection as migrants. In the New Testament, Jesus presents himself as a migrant, relates to strangers in a foreign land, and proposes--to those who want to follow him--an itinerant uprooting movement. These are the topics that we will address in the following pages, in an attempt to understand migration from the very heart of the Scriptures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is about religious diversity in the Jewish community of Chile. Different currents and rabbis representing each of them are mentioned. The arrival of rabbis trained at the "Marshall T. Meyer" Rabbinical Seminary in Buenos Aires is highlighted, as they introduced innovative ideas in the communities. The Masorti (Conservative), Reform, and Orthodox currents are mentioned, as well as the rabbis representing them. The World Union for Progressive Judaism and the openness of communities to people from different Jewish thought currents are also mentioned. In recent years, there has been an increase in the presence of Masorti (Conservative) Jews, and there has been noticeable growth in areas such as home delivery of kosher food and products. Additionally, various institutions and services have been established to serve this community, such as schools, seminaries, mikvaot, and kosher restaurants. Each community has several hired rabbis to assist the official rabbi in the multiple activities they carry out. Several rabbis and Jewish communities in the country are mentioned, including Diego Edelberg, Lucas "Pato" Lejderman, Alejandro Bloch, Pablo Gabe, Daniel Zang, Efraim Rosenzweig, Yoni Szewkis, Shmuel Szteinhendler, and Beit Emunah. The growth of Orthodox communities is highlighted, and it is mentioned that Jewish communities in Chile tend to be "rabbi-centric," with people showing a preference for a particular rabbi or community. It is suggested that the growth of Orthodox communities may be due to the search for meaning and spirituality in modernity. It is concluded that a new study is needed to obtain updated information on the religious participation of the Jewish community in Chile. [Extracted from the article]

The article addresses the Hispanic-Jewish influence on the cultural development of Spain, highlighting the importance of Jews and converts in cultural activity and the development of the Spanish language and literature. It reviews the historiographic and philological research on the Jewish presence in the Iberian Peninsula and their contributions to the cultural and literary development of Spain. It discusses the presence of Jewish communities in the Nasrid kingdom of Granada and their participation in commercial and artisanal activities. It also mentions the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492 and their influence on the cultural development of the country. The translation work carried out by Hispanic-Jews in the court of King Alfonso X is highlighted, which boosted the use and prestige of Castilian as a language of high culture. In addition, the influence of Hispanic-Jews on the cultural development of Spain is analyzed from the origin of Spanish literature and the first manifestations of Castilian as a language of culture. The hypothesis is raised that a Jew was the creator of the moaxaja, a literary genre. The influence of Jewish culture in Spain has been decisive for its cultural flourishing, although it has disappeared from the collective consciousness of Spaniards. However, interest in the Jewish presence in Spanish culture is increasing. [Extracted from the article]

Continuing the work of Aronis and Aoki (2021), this essay focuses on contemporary installations of swastikas on U.S. campuses and uses a media ecology theoretical approach to expand on the technological operation of the swastika in the service of antisemitism. The author examines the matter and medium of the swastika, along with its doing, in order to deconstruct its violent, harassing, and threatening nature--for the U.S. university Jewish community, as well as for other potentially affected minoritized and racialized communities. Through five lenses of technological, material, and communicative exploration--assembling, dual act of marking, space/time bias, (re)mediation, and prescription--the author explains how installed swastikas create a traumatizing effect for Jewish university members. This may assist scholars and practitioners regarding education on the topic and treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this work is, first, to present the first translation from Greek to Spanish of the papyrus BGU 4, 1132, with notes that recover the lexical restorations of the different editors. This translation, and its corresponding annotation, is a novelty among modern studies in Spanish related to BGU 4, 1132. Second, to analyze the Jewish use of the Hellenistic law active in Alexandria during the first years of the Roman Empire through the connection BGU 4, 1132 with the ἀρχεῖον τῶν Ἰουδαίων of BGU 4, 1151 and the examination of the terms συγχώρησις and κριτήριον. Through the translation from Greek to Spanish of BGU 4, 1132, its historical-social contextualization, and its communication with BGU 4, 1151, we will also discuss the possible Jewish identity of the papyrus proper names, and the technical terms that inform about the Jews and the Hellenistic law of the 1st century B.C.

Resumen: El tema del linaje adquirió capital importancia en la sociedad española de los siglos XVI y XVII. Los españoles se dividieron en aquellos que descendían de cristianos y aquellos cuyos antepasados eran judíos o musulmanes. El estamento nobiliario se inventó orígenes bíblicos, romanos y visigóticos para establecer su superioridad social. Los bufones y la novela picaresca se burlaron de esta manía nobiliaria de sus contemporáneos y crearon personajes que se enorgullecían del manchado origen de sus progenitores. López de Úbeda, bufón de don Rodrigo Calderón, se burló de su señor caricaturizando a los antepasados conversos de su protagonista y sus ridículas muertes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this work is to make an approximation to the Jewish communities of Nancy after the German occupation during World War II through a very interesting questionnaire found in the archives of the Center for Contemporary Jewish Documentation in Paris, which has allowed us to reconstruct the history of the Jews of Nancy, I focus mainly on the evolution of the Jewish population, the number of arrested and deported Jews, and the damage caused to religious buildings, among other things, which has been quite an event in bringing to light very valuable unpublished information, given the lack of studies on the Jews of Nancy, not even in relation to the Jews of France in general.

This study analyses the effect the mid-fourteenth century war between Peter I and his halfbrother Henry of Trastámara for the thrown of Castile and the resulting dynastic change had on the evolution of the Jewish question in the kingdom. The period from the middle of the thirteenth to the middle of the fourteenth century in Castile is characterized by an increase in anti-Jewish sentiment, as mirrored in the legal, doctrinal and mental spheres. The accession of the new Trastámara dynasty to the thrown did not produce a significant change in the legal approach towards the Jewish minority. However, the war and violent anti-Jewish riots associated with this conflict radicalized the feelings of animosity towards this minority and brought about the convergence of religious doctrinal anti- Judaism, an aristocratic anti-Jewish sentiment of a political nature, and a popular one fuelled by social and economic crisis.

In the late 17th century, the kingdom of Mallorca was the scene of two compelling acts of faith against a religious minority: the Chuetas, who were descendants of converted Jews. The process carried out against a Chueta named Pedro Onofre Cortes sheds light on, and allows us to understand, how that group experienced a series of large-scale processes in which their faith was the central focus.

The belt has been considered a magical instrument with apotropaic and thaumaturgical value in many civilizations. In the present essay numerous testimonies are gathered to demonstrate that its magical power, very spread in Antiquity, was assumed by the Christians and has lasted until the present time in the garments of the catholic liturgy and in the clothes of monks. In hagiographic literature monks appear frequently competing with the «holy men» of paganism for appropriating the dynamis that emanates from the belt, in contexts that differ little or nothing from those attested in Jewish and pagan sources.

The article focuses on the opposition of small Cuban- Spaniards trade sectors against the Jewish immigration to Cuba in the 1930's through out the campaigns of the right wing and the pro Spaniard press who pretended to defend the native interests against "foreign and dangerous" immigration. These campaigns followed the same idea of the economical nationalism of that period. The opposition affected the migration rules since 1939. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Created in 2013, the Lexica Judio Latinoamericano, "a collaborative data base of words used by Spanish-speaking Jews from Latin America and the Caribbean, in writing and in speaking" (http:// www.jewish-languages.org/lexico-judio-latinoamericano/welcome), proposes, purposefully or not, the existence of a coherent group of Latin American Jews. Based on the ideas of Benedict Anderson and Joshua Fishman about the role of language in national projects, one can say that a dictionary plays a special role in the creation of group identities. In a certain sense, a dictionary validates, institutionalizes and makes official that language of its users, in some way representing and prescribing the uses of the language and the behavioral habits of its speakers. The LJL not only includes vocabulary from distinct Latin American regions and different groups of Jews but also is put together in an atypical way: it is a project in constant development where the users present entries to be included. In this article, we are interested in examining the ideological consequences of the composition and constitution of the LJL. We will ask, what perspectives facilitate positing a Latin American Jewish people and how do the identities of those who head the project influence the symbolic possibilities of the Lexica? What are the effects of forming an artifact of group identity in supposedly collaborative way? Finally, what does the Léxica Judía Latinoamericano hope to be and what functions does it aim to accomplish? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
