This year's edition of the Yearbook of the Selma Stern Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg (ZJS) highlights innovative approaches to the study of Sephardic history in colonial and postcolonial contexts beyond Europe. The authors intertwine the particularities of their case studies with reflections on patterns of belonging, memorial cultures, and a transnational network of connections spanning from early modern times to the twentieth century. In the context of the early modern Atlantic world, two essays explore the notion of a Sephardic empire among Portuguese Jewish communities as well as transatlantic entanglements in and beyond the Danish Caribbean. In the frameworks of Spain as well as (post-)colonial Egypt and Morocco, three articles reflect on Jewish citizenship, modes of belonging, and present-day commemorative events of Jewish history across the Mediterranean and beyond. These collected contributions are the outcome of activities at the ZJS dedicated to Sephardic Studies during the academic year 2020-21.With contributions by Enrique Corredera Nilsson | Allyson Gonzalez | Jonathan Hirsch | Jonathan Schorsch | Juan M.

"Judith und Lisa" war 1988 eines der ersten Bilderbücher zum Holocaust. Auf eindringliche und trotzdem behutsame Weise führt die deutsch-jüdische Künstlerin Elisabeth Naomi Reuter Kinder an dieses schwierige Thema heran. Erzählt wird von einem deutschen und einem jüdischen Mädchen, deren Freundschaft während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus auf die Probe gestellt wird und zerbricht. Die Geschichte der beiden Freundinnen handelt auch von Schuld und Verantwortung und davon, was passiert, wenn Menschen es zulassen, Lügen zu glauben, wenn Lehrer sich nicht gegen das wehren, von dem sie wissen, dass es falsch ist, und wenn Kinder beginnen, eine Welt ohne Liebe anzunehmen.Das Buch wurde in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt und erhielt verschiedene Auszeichnungen, Auszüge wurden in Schulbüchern abgedruckt. Seine Themen - Hetze, Nationalismus, Rassismus, Intoleranz, Mitläufertum - sind auch heute relevant.Neben der Originalversion enthält die Neuausgabe die englische Übersetzung, bisher unveröffentlichte Probebilder sowie ein von Elisabeth Naomi Reuter eigens für Lesungen entwickeltes Rollenspiel für Kinder und ihre Ideen für die Gestaltung einer Unterrichtseinheit zum Buch.Ab 6 Jahren

Lithuanian-American pedagogue Tonya Levit (1904-1967) is a time witness of the history of the Jewish Diaspora in Lithuania, Germany, and the USA. Raised in a religious family in the midst of Vilnius, the 'Jerusalem of the North,' Levit earned her PhD at the University of Jena and, alongside her husband, Rabbi Joseph Ber Soloveitchik (1903-1993), she became the co-founder of a Modern Orthodox school for girls and boys in Boston.This edited volume contains the dissertation of Tonya Levit on the little-known history of Jewish education in Poland, which was published in 1931. The reprint of this work is accompanied by a chapter on Levit's student days in Jena, a biography written by her daughter, Tovah Lichtenstein, and an appreciation of her life's work by State Rabbi Zsolt Balla, who is a member of the board of the Orthodox Rabbinical Conference of Germany (ORD).With a biographical contribution by Tovah Lichtenstein

On the morning of September 5, 1972, eight Palestinian terrorists attacked the accommodation of Israeli athletes in Connollystraße in the Olympic Village in Munich. Moshe Muni Weinberg was shot dead immediately, and Yossef Romano succumbed to his bullet wounds later that day. Nine Israelis were taken hostage. On the night of September 6, David Berger, Ze'ev Friedman, Yossef Gutfreund, Eliezer Halfin, Amitzur Shapira, Kehat Schor, Mark Slavin, Andrei Spitzer, Yakov Springer, and German policeman Anton Fliegerbauer died in a disastrous attempt to free hostages by the Bavarian police in Fürstenfeldbruck.

Ludwig Lejzer Zamenhof (1859-1917) was not the only one promoting the idea of a constructed language in his time. Numerous efforts - drawing inspiration from different sources - have shown a strong desire during the late 19th and early 20th century to create a mode of communication carried by universal humanitarianism. Esperanto, however, is unique in its influence. The articles collected in this volume debate the question of the extent to which this unique potential can be attributed to Jewish, cosmopolitan and pacifist traditions of thought. All contributions have resulted from the lectures of the international workshop "The heritage and legacy of Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof between Judaism and Esperanto", that took place in the Museum Polin - Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.

Emmy Rubensohn (1884-1961) was a music patron, concert manager, salonnière, and letter writer. Born in Leipzig in 1884 to the Jewish Frank family of entrepreneurs, she was passionate about going to concerts as a child, especially at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, and collecting autographs of prominent artists of her time.After marrying Ernst Rubensohn in 1907, she moved to Kassel, where she and her husband made their house a cultural meeting place that was frequented by the likes of conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler and painter Oskar Kokoschka. Thanks to a "residence scholarship", the composer Ernst Krenek was also able to complete his opera "Jonny spielt auf" here, which had its world premiere in Leipzig in 1927 before becoming a worldwide success. After the National Socialists came to power, Emmy Rubensohn founded the Jewish Cultural Association in Kassel and organized dozens of concerts, for example with the conductor Joseph Rosenstock and the pianist Grete Sultan. It was not until 1938 that the Rubensohns decided to emigrate, fleeing to Shanghai in 1940 and finally to the USA in 1947. At all stations of their lives, Emmy Rubensohn and her husband maintained an artistic circle of friends, even after his death in 1951. This circle included the likes of violinist Roman Totenberg, as well as conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos or Alma Mahler-Werfel, and can be reconstructed by virtue of their surviving guest book.

Für keine andere Krisensituation, in die ein Mensch geraten kann, gibt es im Judentum eine so reiche Tradition von Ritualen und Vorschriften wie für Trauer. Die jüdischen Trauerriten stellen einen Gegenentwurf zum heute weit verbreiteten Umgang mit Verlust und Trauer dar. Oft finden Trauernde in der modernen Welt keinen angemessenen Raum, in dem sie ihrer Trauer Ausdruck verleihen können und meinen, den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen gemäß, weiter funktionieren zu müssen. Sie ziehen sich mit ihrer Trauer in Isolation und Anonymität zurück. Die jüdischen Trauervorschriften hingegen schützen Trauernde vor Isolation und geben ihnen Halt. Die Autoren zeigen, wie im Judentum Trauernde durch die unterschiedlichen Phasen des Trauerprozesses begleitet und in die nun veränderte Welt zurückgeführt werden. Dabei unterstützen verlustorientierte und wiederherstellungsorientierte Traditionen die Trauerarbeit und sind damit eine Trauerbegleitung, die vor komplizierten Trauerverläufen schützen kann.
