The Undying
What conceptual merit does the undying – the one that does not die properly – hold? What form of life is left for those who do not achieve death, those that death (the right, the necessity – to die) was taken from them? The undying is a figure of thought; its traces can be found in ancient traditions, in myths and tales, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew sources. The concept obtains new interpretations in modern writing. One (not the only) of its manif…
Narrentum and Being-Jewish: Kafka and Benjamin
This essay examines the notion of Narrentum (foolishness) in Franz Kafka’s writings, reflecting Walter Benjamin’s engagement with the legacy of Kafka’s fools. The Narr , associated with playfulness, irony, and resistance, provides a comic perspective on the question of being-Jewish. Alongside its Germanic, mostly Baroque, heritage, the Narr incorporates traditional Jewish tropes, primarily rooted in Aggadic traditions. However, in Kafka’s world, …

Kafka’s Messages
Reading Kafka's literature today, in Jerusalem/Al-Quds, presents us with a challenge. Reading Kafka ‘here and now’, following his ‘messages’, concealed in his prose, notes and letters, demands us to engage anew with our traditions. It calls us to reconsider the legacies of Kafka's own literature, revising European modernism, while studying Talmudic and Kabbalistic texts, learning Chassidic tales and reading Arabic and Persian stories. A ‘Kafkan’ …

Eurasia, Jewish Nachlässe
Die Frage nach der Zukunft der Judaistik ruft uns dazu auf, den Nachlass , die Überbleibsel der deutsch-jüdischen Literatur, auf die Frage nach den verborgenen, unerfüllten Potentialen ihrer Schriften anzusprechen. Die Frage nach der Zukunft unserer Studien impliziert nicht nur eine Bewegung vorwärts, sondern auch einen »Rückschritt« in die Verborgenheit der Tradition, d. h. in das, was übrig geblieben, verborgen ist. Sie nimmt uns mit auf einen …

Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2009. Pp. 336. My remarks on Idel’s book are written as a gesture of admiration. I have learned much from his book, which is filled with wisdom. Idel’s book not only tells a fascinating history of reception—the reception of Je…
Auerbach's Scars: Judaism and the Question of Literature
This essay explores Erich Auerbach's work and discusses its origins and implications as a German-Jewish project which reflects the dialectic of modernism and tradition, literature and theology, Judaism and Christianity. According to this essay Auerbach's book Mimesis, his concept of literature and his understanding of realistic representation should not be separated from his views on Jewish monotheism and from his modernist negotiation with its h…
The Sacred and the Unfamiliar: Gershom Scholem and the Anxieties of the New Hebrew
The question of Hebrew, the conditions and possibilities of its "renaissance" and its rebirth as a secular language and a source of modern national discourse, was one of the central concerns of the Zionist enterprise around 1900. In his famous letter of December 1926 dedicated to Franz Rosenzweig and titled "Bekenntnis über unsere Sprache," Gershom Scholem expressed his anxiety with the Zionist project and reveals his apocalyptic view of the futu…
