Textual and Grammatical analysis of Selected Passages from the Book of Zohar
Kohout, Ivan ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee) ; Hošek, Pavel (referee)
The objective of my dissertation is an analysis of selected passages from the Book of Zohar. The selected texts are analyzed from the synchronic and diachronic point of view. The synchronic approach consists of detailed grammatical study of all contained lexical units and its result is a Czech translation that reflects the interpretative variations as well. The diachronic approach incorporates Czech translation of important rabbinical commentaries and scientific discourse on analyzed themes. My dissertation gives a discussion of the nature of zoharic Aramaic and its literary sources. The scientific question is an evaluation of Moses de-Le'on's success rate in his endeavor to imitate the Aramaic of Targum Onkelos.

The Role of Religious Law in the Legal system of the State of Israel The Agunah
Sedláková, Dominika ; Sládek, Pavel (advisor) ; Boušek, Daniel (referee)
The present M.A. thesis deals with the role of Jewish religious law in the legal system of the State of Israel. The aim of this work is to describe unique nature of Israeli legal system due to the incorporation of Jewish religious law. The thesis focuses at the marital and divorce law. This legal branch was the most influenced by Jewish religious. The case of agunot, litteraly chained women, was chosen as an example of the application of Jewish religious law in the legal system of a modern country. Agunah is a woman who is not permitted to remarry because she has not been given a divorce list nor she is widowed. The problem of agunot is rather ancient and Jewish scholars have tried to find a solution for many centuries. However, nowadays when society calls for an equality between genders and for standard human rights, this issue is even more pressing than ever before. Hardly is a woman accorded right to human dignity if her husband can keep her at his own mercy. At the absence of systemic legal tool, the whole community, including the Orthodox rabbis, should be willing to exert moral pressure such as banning lenient men from synagogue offices and honors to help women to be released from their marriage. More so because the motive behind withholding a geṭ is in most cases economic or other benefit....

From loving a neighbor to loving a man
Kotrba, Michal ; Beneš, Jiří (advisor) ; Hogenová, Anna (referee)
1 Von Nächstenliebe zu Menschenliebe Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Diplom-Arbeit ist dem Hauptthema der jüdisch-christlichen Ethik gewidmet, und zwar dem Thema der Nächstenliebe, ihrer Reichweite und Bedeutung. Der Ausgangspunkt der ganzen Arbeit ist der Auftrag "die Nächsten zu lieben" (Lv 19,18), der im Rahmen einer isolierten Moral der sakralen Gemeinschaft gleichgerade mit ihrer Rückseite (mit den Aufträgen im Dt 13 einen Götzendienst oder einen Fluch dem Gott mit Tod zu strafen) angesehen wird. Die supranatural gegründete Nächstenliebe, die von der Gottesliebe zu Menschen und von der Menschenliebe zum Gott abgeleitet ist, bezieht sich verständlich nur auf die Gottesfürchtige, die Gott und sein Gesetz aus ganzem Herz miteinander lieben. Nur diese bilden den Kreis von "Nächsten", wobei alle gottlose zu "Feinden" (einschliesslich der Blutsverwandten) gerechnet werden. Die Entstehung solcher Moral versteht man unter der Bedingungen ehemaligen Religiös- Territorialkonflikten. Im Weiteren beobachtet Autor anhand der religiösen Schriften einen Übergang zur allgemeinen Menschenliebe. Dabei wird reflektiert, dass Auftauchen von der Gedanke der universal begriffenen Menschenliebe mit der katastrophalen geschichtlichen Ereignissen Israels korreliert. Diese Ereignisse (vorallem die Eroberungen von Jerusalem, der...

At the village there was a jewish part destroyed during and after World War II. Nowadays there are only a few houses and jewish cemetary. Continuity was extremely aborted after World War II, when most residents had to leave their homes because of German nationality. New comming people early had to live very close to Iron Curtain. After many years Šafov can breathe freely but stigma of the past is still evident. I try to preserve dramatical history but also design new active plan.

Aspects of dying and death in selected world religions
OLIVOVÁ, Tereza
Dying, death and burial of dead people, those are integral parts of each one´s life. However, despite this fact, the death and everything connected to it is understood by the society as something negative or taboo. Dying, which can take different time, is the last stage of one´s life. Death means the end of an organism, and it must always be stated by a doctor. Nowadays, the death moved from a home to an institution. That is the reason why it is nowadays said to much about the medicalization of death and depersonalization of dying people. Especially in recent years, the phenomenon of taboo of death, which is defined as a lack of basic knowledge in carrying out effective nursing care for the dying, is getting forward. Accordingly to fact that the death and dying is an everyday part of the nursing profession, nurses must have lots of knowledge and skill prerequisites for providing a succesful performance in their nursing career. It is necessary for a nurse, to provide a culturally competent care and if so, he or she must recognize not only the cultural profile of the patient, but also his or her own attitudes, values, heritage, cultural behavior and recognition of specifics in terms of similarites and differences between the minority and majority. In the Czech Republic there live 10,436,560 inhabitants, being part of 23 different nationalities and within this population, there is 2,168,952 people which are believers. At the time of an evolving globalization-unifying the society it is required to have the knowledge of cultural specificities and differences in connection with dying, death and transcultural nursing. My bachelor thesis named Aspects of dying and death in selected world religions, is based only on theoretical background and it tries to describe individual differences which are obvious in selected world religions, namely Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism, focusing on the final stage of a human life in the formo f dying, death and burial. This work is supposed to have an informative character. The goal, while making this paper, was to provide the reader with a basic picture of four world religions and their attitude in the case of death and dying patients from different cultures and different religious beliefs, than our general society has. A big part of my analysis is a description of a situation, where cultural destructiveness, disability or blindness may occur, thanks to the not-knowing of cultural specificities of the patient, while providing the transcultural nursing care. To obtain the information conserning the current state of knowledge that is described on the following pages of this work, it was necessary to study a large number of bibliographic documents both from Czech, as well as from foreign experts who deal with dying and death and religion itself. Other important sources for this work were professional journals, including the magazine Contact, which is published by the fakulty of Health and Social Care, with the University of South Bohemia, which describes the latest findings, regarding nursing topics so they are related to the topic of this thesis. With the help of operationalization of key words, for searching i used the PudMed professional databases Scopus and EBSCO. This thesis should be enought to explain the differences that are evident in various religions, and thus enable to navigate better in the topic of transcultural nursing at the time of death and dying. The work could also increase the interest of individuals in these phenomenom. The results obtained can be used as a background material for teaching of nursing subjects or for example, as a contribution for seminars, courses and conferences dealing with this issue.
