Abstract

In Judaism, the sun, moon and stars are observed to determine the date of the seasons and festivals or devotional times. In the Hebrew calendar, the beginning of a new day is marked at sunset and when the first stars of the night appear. Among the objects that mark dates expressing the joy of memorable times are the Hanukkah candlesticks, objects of devotion and piety, indispensable for the Festival of Lights and commemorating the rededication of the second Temple in Jerusalem. In this study we present several devotional candelabra and identify their relationship to the Hebrew ritual and present them as Jewish ex-votos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

59. Of Sheep, Shepherds, and Temples: A Social Identity Reading of the Good Shepherd Paroemia on the Way to a Destroyed Temple.

Author

Porter, Christopher A.

Subjects
*TEMPLES, *GROUP identity, *HANUKKAH, *JEWISH diaspora, *SHEEP, *SHEEP breeds, *READING comprehension
Abstract

The Good Shepherd paroemia of John 10 is often read as an inserted soliloquy between the once-blind-man of John 9 and Jesus's actions in the temple at the Feast of Dedication. In this context many readings perceive a two-level engagement drawing upon the perceived intertextual allusions to Ezekiel 34--and the further host of shepherd imagery in the Hebrew bible--and relating it to the context of a Johannine Community. From this perspective the Good Shepherd narrative is read as a condemnation of the Pharisees, and the "sheep of another fold" is taken as a reference to the incorporation of Gentiles in a "post-parting of the ways" or Birkat Haminim context. However, this two-level reading regularly dislocates the Ezekiel intertext from its own context of exile. Furthermore, although readings of John 10 recognize the presence of an intertext with Zechariah 10-11, they rarely invest it with the significance of Ezekiel 34. Therefore, this paper seeks to read the Good Shepherd paroemia through the lens of Social Identity Theory in the temple-removed context shared by Zechariah and Ezekiel, and the context of John's audience in a post-70 CE environment. From this context we will look at the shepherd and flock imagery in order to consider whether the integration of flock (10:17) and the sheep of another fold (10:16) fit better in a diaspora Jewish context struggling with the destruction of the Jerusalem temple under Titus in 70 CE. Through this lens we will see how the intra-group dynamics of the Good Shepherd monologue contribute to the ongoing social discourse around Jewish ethno-cultic practices without the Jerusalem temple.

61. Destin et vocation du peuple juif : Réflexions sur les célébrations de Hanouka et de Pourim et sur le destin du peuple juif depuis la destruction du Temple

Author

Subjects

Abstract

Ce qui caractérise le destin du peuple d'Israël à travers l'histoire c'est la persécution, l'exil et la calomnie dont il fut victime. L'adversité à laquelle il a dû faire face n'a pas été le lot des autres minorités ethniques ou religieuses. L'histoire biblique nous apprend que ce peuple a été iconoclaste, révolutionnaire et résistant. La persécution est peut-être alors le lot naturel de ceux qui dérangent l'ordre établi. Voilà la thèse défendue ici pour expliquer l'antisémitisme de tous les temps.

Abstract

This book reveals how violent pasts were constructed by ancient Mediterranean societies, the ideologies they served, and the socio-political processes and institutions they facilitated. Combining case studies from Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, Israel/Judah, and Rome, it moves beyond essentialist dichotomies such as “victors” and “vanquished” to offer a new paradigm for studying representations of past violence across diverse media, from funerary texts to literary works, chronicles, monumental reliefs, and other material artefacts such as ruins. It thus paves the way for a new comparative approach to the study of collective violence in the ancient world.
