The National Transformation of the Historical Memory of Minor Jewish Holidays During the Period of Hibbat Zion
From its very inception, the Jewish National Movement Hibbat Zion turned to the collective past to advance its goals in the present. One of their activities was to reinterpret Jewish holidays and festivals, especially those that did not take a central place in the Jewish calendar. They sought to transform the historical memory of these holidays from a religious memory to a national memory, by matching historical military victories to pioneering p…
Between Peretz Smolenskin and Ahad Ha’am
When we study the Jewish-national historiography of the last quarter of the 19th century, there is a tendency to pass directly from Smolenskin’s doctrine to the Zionist-cultural approach of Ahad Ha’am and his students, omitting the works written in between. However, even before the emergence of Ahad Ha’am as a cultural icon in the Jewish national movement, some Hibbat Zion activists engaged in Hebrew cultural activities directed at shaping nation…
The Workshop for the Nation's Soul" vs. "A Rabbi Factory"-Contrasting the Lithuanian Yeshiva with the Rabbinical Seminary
The central institutional model that served Jewish Orthodoxy in its struggle with the threat to the tradition of the modern era and from which grew its intellectual leadership was ultimately the model of the Lithuanian Yeshiva. However, from the second half of the nineteenth-century, new models of Jewish higher education institutions emerged and were even adopted by Orthodox circles. How, then, did the trustees of the Lithuanian yeshiva model see…
What Does a Kohen Have to Do with the Protocols of the Ashkenazic Community of Amsterdam? A Conflict between Community Sanctity and the Righteousness of the Ancients
This article deals with an incident in the Ashkenazic community of Amsterdam in 1772 that was documented in the protocols of the community. A member of the congregation confessed to the rabbi after the death of her husband, a kohen, that she was in fact a convert. The rabbi informed her son that as the son of a kohen married to a convert he was defined as a ḥalal (disqualified), and thereby lost his status as a kohen. A few weeks later, the rabbi…
Scales of Justice by Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Kalischer
Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Kalisher (1795-1874), best known for his proto-national thinking and advocacy of settlement in the Land of Israel in the third quarter of the 19th century, was crowned a preeminent "Precursor of Zionism". However, his halakhic teachings, which have never been properly researched, represent a fount of perspectives that help refine our understanding of his ideological and activist program. This article focuses on Moznayim LaMishpat…
Between Messianism and Zionism-The Religious Proto-Zionists
The 19th century, which began with the immigration to Eretz Israel of 511 disciples of the Vilna Gaon (HaGra) and their families from Lithuania for religious reasons between 1808-1811, ended with the arrival of tens of thousands of Hovevei Zion from Russia and Romania for nationalistic motives, beginning in 1882.This article deals with the differences between the doctrine of redemption of the Vilna Gaon's disciples and the Zionist ideology of Hov…
From Collective Shiva to a Fast for the Ages
Religious Jewish tradition has specific rituals for mourning the loss of a relative. They include receiving visitors during shiva, the recitation of the Kaddish in the first year, and the annual marking of the Yahrzeit. There are also customs for commemorating collective disasters. Foremost among them are the diminution of joy on specific dates, and setting permanent fast days. Towards the end of World War II, when the extent of the destruction b…
Expansion of Torah Study, Halachic Renewal, and the Religious Zionist Compendium
As part of the cultural revival that accompanied the Zionist revolution, important literary projects were created, providing ideological support for the Zionist project, enriching the newly revived Hebrew culture and redefining the Jewish bookshelf. Within this diverse cultural work, the project of the anthologies was formed. These projects were led at the beginning by disciples of Ahad Ha'am—the founder of the cultural stream in Zionism. Religio…
The Emancipation of Slaves and the Auto-Emancipation of the Jews
Out of Breslau Shall Come Forth Torah, and the Word of the Lord from Frankfurt am Main
In his story Early Passover , 1 written in the Pale of Settlement at the beginning of the twentieth century, Shalom Aleichem described a typical German Jewish community. He chose to call it Kisslona in Hebrew and Narenberg in Yiddish, both meaning “city of fools,” and he mocked the wisdom and understanding of the community and its rabbi, the “doctor and preacher,” in matters pertaining to Judaism. He portrayed German Jewry as assimilated, kitschy…
In Days to Come
The Orthodox historian Ze̓ev Ya̓avetz (1847-1924) strove to harmonize Orthodoxy with life as it was developing in the Land of Israel, in part by blending it together with nascent Jewish nationalism. Theodor Herzl's utopian novel Altneuland (1902) urged him to deal intensely with the portraying of the anticipated Jewish entity which was forming in the Land of Israel. At 1904 he published an article in the journal Ha-Mizrach , of which he was the e…
Orthodox strategies in the research of the Wissenschaft des Judentums
This article deals with the attempts of Orthodox scholars, at the end of the nineteenth and the first third of the twentieth century, to create an Orthodox alternative to the Wissenschaft des Judentums (‘Science of Judaism’). On the one hand, those “experiments” clearly differed from their non-Orthodox equivalents, and on the other from the (un-researched) Orthodox historiography, which was created to serve as an alternative to existing Wissensch…
