Sat, 2 Aug 2014 04:54:38 -0700 Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories https://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=840455 The Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories explores Jewish life in Eastern Europe before, during and after World War II. The archive consists of nearly 400 interviews, conducted primarily in Yiddish, and mostly in small towns throughout Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. The interviews focus on language, religious customs and beliefs, songs, and Holocaust testimony and present a variety of perspectives on how ordinary Jews experienced the twentieth-century. Recorded in situ, or on the site of memory itself, these testimonies bring to life the story of those Jews who not only survived, but rebuilt their lives in the very places where some of the most tumultuous events of the 20th century occurred.There are also curated video clips, explanations, and analysis of some of the collection highlights, which can be seen by clicking Online Exhibits.

I'm talking about a special class of redemptive ideas that push humanity to a higher stage of evolution, a stage in which we as a species are wiser and more loving and more just than we were before. One such idea was that all human beings are created in the image of God. Another was that faithfulness to God means abolishing slavery. I think that on the cultural horizon of the human species today there is such a new idea, an idea that could help redeem humanity from her present state of exile and destruction. That idea is the theology of human rights. While religion is sometimes the enemy of human dignity, it can also be a powerful force for its protection. When John Woolman, an American Quaker born in 1720, began preaching that faithfulness to God requires abolishing slavery, he ignited a religious passion that helped facilitate the global paradigm shift that outlawed human bondage across the planet. That religious passion united humanity's moral intuition with her awe in the face of God's creation; it wove the mysterious and enthralling presence of the divine into the love that humans can know for the other. The time has come to preach global moral responsibility: God commands that we enact a "human covenant" to protect and nurture all human beings. While all doctrines may be criticized and all laws revised, the confidence that humanity has placed in human rights establishes them as the foundation of that sacred effort. What we need is an inter-faith and multi-cultural theology of human rights constructed like a mosaic from the world's religious perspectives. We need a theology that will direct the religious energy of our species towards protecting and nurturing human beings. To that end, I offer the below particularistic Jewish contribution to human rights theology. It is more of a program for future study than a complete theology. But the outline is clear. My approach is provocatively, but accurately, summed up in the statement that the global human rights movement is mashiach (the Hebrew word for "messiah" or "anointed one״) and that a global order guaranteeing the International Bill of Rights as contained in the Universal Declaration and the two covenants is the foundation for the kingdom of God.' Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:18:46 -0800 An Accidental God: The Evolution of Religion, or How a Boy from the Dawn of Civilization Became the God of Jews, Christians, and Muslims https://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=828655 This is a free textbook that is offered by Amazon for reading on a Kindle.  Anybody can read Kindle books—even without a Kindle device—with the free Kindle app for smartphones and tablets.  Download the app for your device and start reading for free.'An Accidental God tells how, through a series of accidents, a person who lived at the dawn of civilization became God. It tells a fictionalized but historically plausible interpretation of the story of the biblical patriarch Abraham, focusing on how coincidental events and human misperceptions lead him to believe a particular ancestor, named Yehhi, is a powerful god. An earthquake shakes the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur; amid the devastation, Abraham sees that all the family idols have toppled over, all except for the statue of Yehhi, a revered ancestor. He is convinced that Yehhi has shown his power by remainingupright amid the collapse of the other gods, and he believes that this is Yehhi's call for his clan to abandon Ur. Abraham's young nephew Lot is swindled by a wily merchant into squandering the family fortune on a smelly herd of sheep and goats tended by slave boys, named Ishmael and Isaac. Abraham must nowbecome a nomadic shepherd wandering in a strange wilderness. Ishmael, who was stolen from his family, secretly guides them back towards his home in Canaan. Along the way, events challenge Abram to think differently about his relationship with his god Yehhi.Abraham has been unable to conceive children due to a disease that he does not understand, so he develops a fatherly affinity for Ishmael and Isaac. Nevertheless, Abram becomes increasingly obsessed by his inability to produce children of his own. He bargains with his god Yehhi, and he seizes upon a local custom of genital mutilation to improve fertility. He engages in increasingly gory animal sacrifices and eventually resorts to human sacrifice.'
