Baudiš, Adam ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Šedinová, Jiřina (referee) ; Prudký, Martin (referee)
"Whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me." Jephthah and His Vow in the Jewish and Christian Interpretations Mgr. Adam Baudiš Abstract Main theme of this thesis is the story of Jephthah from Judg 10:6-12:7 and its interpretations. Thesis is divided into four main parts. The first part deals with the story of Jephthah in the Bible and mainly from the perspective of biblical theology. The second chapter is focused on research of the rabbinic literature perspective and the third chapter puts the whole story into the contexts of Near East and other texts of Tanakh dealing with human sacrifice. The final chapter focuses on the biblical commentaries and their interpretation approaches. The main differences in the approach of Judaism and Christianity in this case are mainly the evaluation of Jephthah as a character, focus of the commentaries and general results of the commentatries. On the contrary, they mostly agree on the tendency to interpret the story as a sacrifice. These differences are based primarily in the different focuses of these two religions and their approach to the biblical text.

Conception of fast in judaism
Valová, Jana ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Šedinová, Jiřina (referee)
Cílem této práce je popsat fenomén postu v judaismu, tedy jaké jsou jeho formy, jaký je mu přikládán význam a jaké postoje může vyjadřovat, jak je v židovské tradici reflektován a jak důležitou roli v náboženském životě hraje. Dále se pokusím zachytit jeho proměny a postupný vývoj, a to v časovém úseku od biblických dob, kdy máme první rozsáhlý literární pramen, v po biblickém a talmudickém období a dále ve stěžejním díle rabínského judaismu Šulchan aruch. Okrajově přihlížím také k názorům středověkého učence Moše ben Majmona (Maimonida). Mým záměrem je také zařadit fenomén postu v judaismu do širšího kontextu asketického úsilí, se kterým se setkáváme v různých náboženských systémech. Dále chci posoudit, zda vůbec a do jaké míry lze v daném období vysledovat asketické rysy v judaismu, případně jaké místo v něm zaujímají. Z důvodu rozsahu práce se nebudu podrobně zabývat různými menšími skupinami a proudy uvnitř judaismu, které jsou ovšem pro celkové pochopení tématu důležité, proto je nelze zcela opomenout. Téma, kterému se zde budu věnovat, není příliš systematicky zpracováno, nacházíme k němu pouze nemnohé zmínky, proto jsem se rozhodla se jím zabývat soustavněji. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Jews in Finland during World War II
Dvořáková, Jana ; Šedinová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee)
Before and during World War II there was almost no Anti-Semitism in Finland, and in fact, the Finnish government refused to condone the Nazis' anti-Jewish platform. When Finland also refused to cooperate with the Soviet Union in late 1939, Soviet troops attacked Finland. As equal Finnish citizens, the country's Jews joined the army to fight the Soviets; some 15 were killed and many others were wounded. After holding out for several months, Finland surrendered to the Soviet Union in March 1940 and was forced to hand over some of its territory to the Soviets. In 1941 German troops came to Finland; Finland then joined Germany as its ally in the attack on the Soviet Union in order to recapture the land it had lost to the Soviets in the Winter war. Some 300 Jews (Finnish citizens and refugees from other countries) served in the Finnish army during the Continuous war. The German authorities requested that the Finnish government hand over its Jewish community, but the Finns refused. Reportedly, when SS chief Heinrich Himmler brought up the "Jewish question" with Prime Minister Johann Wilhelm Rangell in mid-1942, Rangell replied that there was no Jewish question in Finland; he firmly stated that the country had but 2,000 respected Jewish citizens who fought in the army just like everyone else, and thus closed the...

Old Czech glosses in the writings Or zarua and Arugat ha-bosem
Uličná, Lenka ; Šedinová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Sadek, Vladimír (referee)
České glosy v středověkých hebrejských spisech se doposud nesetkaly s patřičným zájmem české ani zahraniční bohemistiky; ten se zatím omezoval na všeobecné zmínky a pobídky k výzkumu. Na opomíjení tohoto bohatého lingvoliterárního materiálu poukazovala a poukazuje zejména česká hebraistika. Je zřejmé, že bohemistika se musí zabývat i texty psanými v jiných jazycích, než je čeština či slovanské jazyky: dnes již snad nikdo nepochybuje o zařazení latinských textů české provenience do dějin naší literatury, postupně přijímány jsou i texty psané německy mluvícími autory, hlásícími se k českému území a kultuře. Písemnictví česko-hebrejské, tedy texty psané hebrejským jazykem českými Židy, stojí doposud v pozadí. Hebrejské středověké spisy jsou nejen významnými literárními památkami z doby, z níž se do současnosti nedochovalo mnoho textů; jsou zároveň i nedoceněným pramenem poznání života tehdejších obyvatel Českého království, a to jak židovských, tak i nežidovských. Obzvlášť pozoruhodným aspektem těchto spisů je právě přítomnost českých, resp. jinojazyčných glos. Problémem byla a nadále zůstává jazyková bariéra: středověké hebrejské spisy především z oblasti rabínské literatury se sice ve světě od 19. století znovu vydávají, nikdo je však nepřekládá. 1.2 V předkládané práci se pokusím shrnout doposud publikované...

Historical midrash Sefer Josipon (10th century). A critical analysis of the text
Křížová, Magdalena ; Šedinová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Oliverius, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis aims to summarize our existing knowledge about the time of composition and the litcrary context oť an important historiographical work oť the Middle Ages - the so-called Sefer .Josippon. The thesis is divided into three main parts: the tirst one is concerned with critical comparison oť di ťferent conjectures regarding the origins of the boo k, the second attempts to interpret tbc book ťrom the point oťthe history oťJewish literature ofthat period and the tinal part consists ofa C zech translation oť three short extracts of the boo k, that are chosen to demonstrate the styl i sti cal and artistic techniques of the author and his way oť handl ing with hi s literary sources. The tirst part starts with deťining the problem of the authorship of the book. We have shown that Seťcr .fosippon wasn't originally writtcn as pseudo-epigraphical book, but it was traditionally ascribed to Josephus Flavius (called here ,Joseph ben Gorion''. a mistake caused by misunderstandig oť.Josippon ·s sourccs) only later, while in thc original text oťthis chronicle often quotes Josephus as its primary source oť inťormation. The question oťthe causes and time ofthis ascribement has not been succesťully solved. since already in the I O th century the book i s refered to as .,book oť Joseph ben Corion"".
