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...

Practice of Jewish Feasts in Terezín
Zunová, Markéta ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Hocká, Eva (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Practicing Jewish holidays in Terezín" deals with the Jewish situation in the first half of the 20th century with emphasis on the years of the 2nd world war. In the initial part of my thesis I focus on the development of Jews in the area of Czech lands, elementary classification of different Jewish groups and the situation of anti-Semitic riots just before the war. This is followed by the characteristic of Terezín from the beginning to the liberation in the year 1945. The characteristic of the most important Jewish holidays and customs is an integral part of the thesis. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to attempt to apply the gained knowledge to the environment of the Terezín ghetto. The information concerning these issues was drawn from the archive of visual history Malach, in which there are thousands of testimonies of survivors, and also from specialized literature. I reached the conclusion that the holidays were celebrated in the difficult conditions of the ghetto, even if only symbolically with the use of prayers or collective reminiscence. Paradoxical holidays are those that are connected with fasting, all you have to do is to abstain from food and even these holidays are remembered by the survivors. The thesis should serve as a general overview of the Jewish situation...
