Jewish year and his feast
Pilařová, Kateřina ; Pargač, Jan (advisor) ; Krupková, Jaroslava (referee)
The thesis deals with important and festive days in the Jewish calendar. It studies their origin both in historical context and in the context of celebrations and customs observed during the festivals. It deals with the festivals both from the religious point of view, i.e. religious commands and orders, and from the societal point of view where it aims at mapping the customs and traditions which are followed but which are not based on religious texts or rabbi tradition. The scope of the text dedicated in the thesis to specific festivals does not strictly copy the religious importance or the popularity of a particular festival with Jewish population; rather, it is guided by the scope of historical background and customs followed in connection with the festival. As a result, some less popular festivals in the society are more prominent than it would have been expected judging by their importance. The thesis presents individual festivals in the chronological order of the religious year, with the exception of Shabbat which is observed every week and Rosh Chodesh celebrated monthly. These festivals were included before other festivals and make up a separate chapter. The broad scope of the thesis encompassing all festive days, including modern festivals, mostly established by the State of Israel, enables...

An Old Testament text and its paraphrases
ŠTĚPÁNOVÁ, Alena
The aim of the bachelor thesis is the comparison of the book of Esther from the Old Testament with its selected paraphrases and a critical evaluation of the work of the authors of the paraphrases with the text. The thesis first briefly introduces the story of the book of Esther and its main character. Then the contents of the book of Esther in the Czech study translation of the Bible (Masoretic text) are compared with the contents of the book of Esther in the Czech translation of the Jerusalem Bible (Septuagint). Subsequently, selected paraphrases in both versions are compared according to a predetermined structure. The assessment of the texts was carried out using the method of comparative analysis, where the main differences and similarities of the compared works were pointed out. As a result, it was also evaluated how the paraphrase changes or does not change the original point of the book of Esther. At the end of the work, the findings of these comparisons are summarized.

Haman in the Book of Esther and in the history of reception
BOŽOVSKÝ, Vladimír
The work focuses on the negative character of Haman in the story of The Book of Esther, Haman's actions, consequences and reception in later periods. The aim is to describe Haman on the basis of the Masoretic text, compare the differen-ces with other texts (LXX, Targum, ) and focus on the influence he had in the history of the Jewish people. It concludes with an attempt to capture the reception in the recent past and present with the inclusion of customs associated with Haman during the Purim holiday. The first chapter consists of an introduction to The Book of Esther as such and a more detailed introduction to Haman in the MT. The second chapter compares and outlines the different interpretations found in other texts - LXX, Targums, Midrashes. The third chapter focuses on Haman in the history of interpretation, and this is followed by the last part devoted to Purim customs that are connected with Haman even today.
