Migration is not a #modern #crisis; it is one of the oldest #human stories. Long before borders, #passports, and #immigration offices, the #Bible was already filled with people on the move

Abraham walks on rocky terrain with a staff, Jacob sits contemplatively on the ground, Moses leads people through a desert with distant mountains, and the Holy Family travels at night.

"Since the founding of #Israel in 1948 — and until 2024 — there hadn’t been a major non-#religious #Hebrew #publishing house outside of the country. (There are thriving Hebrew presses for the #Haredi community in the #US and in #Europe, publishing everything from #biblical and #Talmudic commentaries to #children’s #books.)

This wasn’t always the case.

#ModernHebrew has roots in 19th-century Europe, where #Russian-born #lexicographer #EliezerBenYehuda lived and worked before joining the First #Aliyah in 1881.

There were flourishing presses in the language, including the original #SchockenBooks, founded in #Berlin in 1931 and boasting #authors like future Nobel Laureate #SYAgnon. #Hitler’s rise and the #Holocaust, underscored by #book burnings on the streets, put an end to the industry on the continent."

"Israeli diaspora" in the diaspora is a concept I need some time to wrap my head around. 🤔

"#ISIS captured #Mosul in 2014, and the group destroyed many of the stone slabs in the palace in 2016 as part of a campaign to erase pre-#Islamic #history. These carvings allowed #archaeologists to compare #biblical accounts with #Assyrian accounts, but that ability is now forever gone. However, photos of some of the bas relief depictions remain, and recent research reveals that Slab 28 may have displayed a carving of #Jerusalem."

There's... A LOT going on in this article 🤯

"I believe neo-#Hasidism is in some ways the only future for #Judaism, because it takes the whole discussion of #religion to an interior place. To the heart."

Mainstream Judaism, he says, faced three major crises in the 19th and 20th centuries: #Darwinism, which made people feel they should no longer believe in the act of Creation; #biblical criticism, which led to the understanding that the #Torah was written by several people over time, so that it could no longer be termed divine; and "No. 3, a little crisis called the #Shoah."

In short, "the pillars of Judaism have collapsed."

So Bible stories appear to be the stories of Mesopotamia... Fryslân is where Saturn and Mesopotamia meet. Crossroads so to speak.
The Biblical map places Mesopitamia bordering Iraq. Scandinavia borders Saturn.

"In his #book Disasters of #Biblical Proportions: The Ten #Plagues Then, Now, and at the End of the World, Weitzman (a professor of #Hebrew and #Semitic #languages and #literature at the #University of #Pennsylvania and #author, among other #books, of The Origin of the #Jews: The Quest for Roots in a Rootless Age) provides a history of how Jews, #Christians, and #Muslims have interpreted and reimagined the “rather sparse” account of each of the 10 plagues in the Book of #Exodus to reflect their own “personalities, beliefs, emotions, self-interest, and hopes for the future.” Retelling the #Bible “anachronistically,” Weitzman reminds us, is a “mode of creativity,” worthwhile in its own right but also for its role in keeping the Bible alive in people’s imaginations for more than 2,000 years.
