From pork to Kapores: transformations in religious practice among the Jews of late imperial Kiev
No full textUntil recently, studies of Jewish religious practices in Imperial Russia have focused on major movements such as Hasidism and mitnagdism as well as the challenges that Haskalah presented to traditional Judaism. Few scholars have scrutinized transformations in everyday religious practices such as the observance of Sabbath and other holidays, synagogue attendance, and liturgical practices. However, new political, social, and economic realities had generated subtle changes in religious practices even in earlier periods and it comes as no surprise, therefore, that religious practices among Jews during the tsarist period, especially in Kiev, were neither monolithic nor static. This article provides a new perspective on this topic by analyzing patterns of religious practice among Jews in one city – examining personal observance, communal practice, synagogue rites and attendance, and religious education – while providing a broader context of reform in Russia. In large urban centers like Kiev, the pressures and temptations of modern life, big-city anonymity, and the vitality and diversity of Jewish community often led to a transformation of prior belief and behavior among new arrivals. The author concludes that despite the absence of a movement for religious reform in the Russian Empire, we can nonetheless observe innovations and changes in religious life emerging out of the attempt to make observance compatible with modern urban life and a nascent Russian-Jewish identity
Karaims in the novel Meir Ezofowicz of Eliza Orzeszkowa
No full textMeir Ezofowicz, Eliza Orzeszkowa’s well-known novel published in 1878, features two Karaim characters: Abel and Gołda. The novel itself, however, primarily concerns the Rabbanite Jews. The author of the present article analyses the way in which the Karaims are depicted in the novel via the methods of literature anthropology. Here, the author addresses the question of Eliza Orzeszkowa’s motives for introducing Abel and Gołda into the book – and the way she achieved this. The article demonstrates how the image of the Karaims created by the novelist contains a number of errors and inaccuracies. Although her aim was merely to juxtapose the Karaims with the Jews, bearing in mind the popularity and classic status of the novel, it is valid to say that Meir Ezofowicz may have help shape stereotypes of the Karaims.W znanej powieści Elizy Orzeszkowej pt. Meir Ezofowicz (1878) występuje dwoje Karaimów: Abel i Gołda. Książka jednak dotyczy tematyki żydowskiej. Autor artykułu, posiłkując się inspiracjami ze strony antropologii literatury, próbuje poddać analizie wizerunek Karaimów w tej powieści. Zastanawia się, w jaki sposób i w jakim celu Orzeszkowa wprowadziła do swej powieści postacie Karaimów. Okazuje się, że pisząc o nich popełniła pewne błędy. Ale jej celem było uczynienie z Karaimów przeciwieństwa w stosunku do Żydów, którzy są głównym przedmiotem jej zainteresowania. Ze względu na popularność i rangę Meira Ezofowicza, powieść ta może wpływać na stereotyp Karaimów
Economic utopia of the Torah. Economic concepts of the Hebrew Bible interpreted according to the Rabbinical Literature
No full textHebrew Bible offers alternative Economic utopia for building Theocratic society. In this paper, various economic concepts and themes are presented, as found in the Hebrew Bible. These economic concepts include taxation, property rights, labor market, social policy, banking, years of Sabbath and Jubilee, and business cycles. Most economic issues of the Bible are found in the texts of Torah, also known as five Books of Moses. These texts are analyzed by using classical Rabbinical commentaries for better insight. Contrary to the modern Economic theory which is based on the assumptions of scarcity of resources and unlimited needs of consumers, Economics of the Torah is based on God’s resources which are enough for all true needs of His people.Hebrew Bible, History of Economics, History of Economic Thought, Ancient Israel, Judaism

The international political economy of intellectual property rights /
No full textThis book investigates the realm of intellectual property rights (IPRs) within the context of international political economy. In particular, it examines the extent to which powerful interest groups, such as pharmaceutical multinational companies, influence the political dynamism underlying the field of IPRs. Meir Perez Pugatch argues that a pure economic approach does not provide a sufficient or satisfactory explanation for the creation of intellectual property rights, most notably patents. The author instead suggests that a dynamic approach, based on the international political economy of interest groups and systemic outcomes, provides a better starting point for explaining how the international intellectual property agenda is determined
Neurologic aspects and falls
No full textFalls are widely recognized as a social problem due to the related economic burden on public health budgets. Following the growing body of evidences on the physiopathology of postural control in humans, many factors leading to falls are already
well established in the literature. Given the high prevalence of falls among elderly people, the present review focuses on parkinsonism and those “mild parkinsonian signs” frequently presented by elderly subjects. Parkinsonism is a good paradigm for the understanding of the pathophysiology
of falling. Specifically, parkinsonian patients display specific features related to falls, such as axial motor symptoms, the impairment of executive functions and of the interplay between motion and cognition, as revealed by the disruption of automaticit
