Download or read book Bukharan Jews and the Dynamics of Global Judaism written by Alanna E. Cooper and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part ethnography, part history, and part memoir, this volume chronicles the complex past and dynamic present of an ancient Mizrahi community. While intimately tied to the Central Asian landscape, the Jews of Bukhara have also maintained deep connections to the wider Jewish world. As the community began to disperse after the fall of the Soviet Union, Alanna E. Cooper traveled to Uzbekistan to document Jewish life before it disappeared. Drawing on ethnographic research there as well as among immigrants to the US and Israel, Cooper tells an intimate and personal story about what it means to be Bukharan Jewish. Together with her historical research about a series of dramatic encounters between Bukharan Jews and Jews in other parts of the world, this lively narrative illuminates the tensions inherent in maintaining Judaism as a single global religion over the course of its long and varied diaspora history.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zeev Levin seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of government efforts to socialize the Jewish masses in Uzbekistan, a process in which the central Soviet government took part, together with the local, republican and regional administrations and Soviet Jewish activists. This research presents a chapter in the history of the Jews in Uzbekistan, as well as contributing to the study of the socialization process of the Jewish population in the USSR in general. It also contributes to the study of relations among political and government bodies and decision makers. The study is based on archival documents and provides a unique glance at the implementation of Soviet nationalities policy towards Bukharan Jews while comparing it to other national minority groups in Uzbekistan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautifully presented book on Jewish diversity around the world . . . opens windows into lives from the hills of Portugal to the plains of Africa.” —The Jerusalem Post With vibrant photographs and intricate accounts Scattered Among the Nations tells the story of the world’s most isolated Jewish communities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Former Soviet Union and the margins of Europe. Over two thousand years ago, a shipwreck left seven Jewish couples stranded off India’s Konkan Coast, south of Bombay. Those hardy survivors stayed, built a community, and founded one of the fascinating groups described in this book—the Bene Israel of India’s Maharasthra Province. This story is unique, but it is not unusual. We have all heard the phrase “the lost tribes of Israel,” but never has the truth and wonder of the Diaspora been so lovingly and richly illustrated. To create this amazing chronicle of faith and resilience, the authors visited Jews in thirty countries across five continents, hearing origin stories and family histories that stretch back for millennia. “Beautiful, even breathtaking . . . a Jewish (Inter) National Geographic, wisely reminding us that the strategies for survival of Jews in distant lands may be relevant to our own.” —Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, Emanu-El Scholar at Congregation Emanu-El of San Francisco and author of I’m God; You’re Not “This exquisite book is a gift to the Jewish people, dramatically stretching our understanding of ‘Jewish’ . . . A book to be savored, read and re-read, and transmitted from one generation to the next.” —Yossi Klein Halevi, Senior Fellow, Shalom Hartman Institute, Jerusalem

Book excerpt: Information from www.tibetbook.net : Kullijot – The Collected Works of the Bukharan Jewish writer and intellectual Mordaxaj H. Bačaev is both a great example of and a unique introduction to the culture and literature of the Bukharan Jews (the term is used for all Persian-speaking Jews of Central Asia) of the 20th century. Iranist Jiří Bečka called Muhib (the penname of Bačaev) the most prominent representative and continuator of Judeo-Persian literary tradition. Even in scholarly circles the works are scarcely known, since the rich cultural and literary heritage of this community is only published privately in very small editions and basically circulates only amongst the big Bukharan-Jewish communities in Israel and the United States. The Collected Works of Muhib for the first time provides the opportunity to for a broader access to history, language, culture, and literature of this extraordinary community. Biogramm: Mordaxaj ben Hijo Bačaev, penname Muhib; born 1911 in Marv (in today’s Turkmenistan); Bukharan-Jewish writer, poet, publicist and translator; 1929-1938 editor of the Samarkand (later Tashkent) magazines „Roşnaji“ and „Bajroq-i mehnat“; first publication 1929; 1938 arrested for „Jewish bourgeois nationalisms“ and „anti-soviet agitation“; 1939-1945 soviet concentration camp and forced labour in Ural; 1945-1954 banned from Tashkent and Samarkand, job in the mining administration of the Uzbek SSR; 1957 complete rehabilitation; 1955-1972 translator (Russ..-Taj.) at the Institute for Marxism-Leninism in Dushanbe (Tajik SSR); since 1973 M. H. Bačaev lives and works in Israel. Another volume with miscellaneous works on the author and contributions to his work will be published in 2007, but not as a part of the Collected Works.
