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...

The Yom Kippur War and the mediation of the USA in this conflict
Kopečná, Pavlína ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Matějka, Zdeněk (referee)
The object of this work is an analysis of the Arabic-Israeli conflict known as the Yom Kippur war and the mediative involement of the USA in this conflict. The name of the war is based on the Yom Kippur festival which was held just on that day when the surprising attack against Israel started. From the theoretical point of view the work will explain the terms of mediation and war in connection to a settlement of conflict. Using this theoretical stem I will try to analyse the war mentioned above and the mediation role of the USA. The main question I want to answer is whether the USA took this part in the Yom Kippur war just because of the oil embargo imposed on all allies of Israel by the Arabic member states of the OPEC organization in 1973 or not. The result of the analysis will be presented in the conclusion of this work.
