Chapters On Jewish Literature By Israel Abrahams Presented by Auth o rama Public Domain Books Preface These twenty-five short chapters on Jewish Literature open with the fall of Jerusalem in the year 70 of the current era, and end with the death of Moses Mendelssohn in 1786. Thus the period covered extends over more than seventeen centuries. Yet, long as this period is, it is too brief. To do justice to the literature of Judaism even in outline, it is clearly necessary to include the Bible, the Apocrypha, and the writings of Alexandrian Jews, such as Philo. Only by such an inclusion can the genius of the Hebrew people be traced from its early manifestations through its inspired prime to its brilliant after-glow in the centuries with which this little volume deals. This consideration has in part determined also the method of the book. In presenting an outline of Jewish literature three plans are possible. One can divide the subject according to Periods . Starting with the Rabbinic Age and closing with the activity of the earlier Gaonim, or Persian Rabbis, the First Period would carry us to the eighth or the ninth century. A well-marked Second Period is that of the Arabic-Spanish writers, a period which would extend from the ninth to the fifteenth century. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century forms a Third Period with distinct characteristics. Finally, the career of Mendelssohn marks the definite beginning of the Modern Period. Such a grouping of the facts presents many advantages, but it somewhat obscures the varying conditions prevalent at one and the same time in different countries where the Jews were settled. Hence some writers have preferred to arrange the material under the different

Chapters On Jewish Literature By Israel Abrahams Presented by Auth o rama Public Domain Books Chapter II. Flavius Josephus and the Jewish Sibyl tendency to glorify his people and his religion. But they are in the main trustworthy, and are, indeed, one of the chief sources of information for the history of the Jews in post-Biblical times. His style is clear and attractive, and his power of grasping the events of long periods is comparable with that of Polybius. He was no mere chronicler; he possessed some faculty for explaining as well as recording facts and some real insight into the meaning of events passing under his own eyes. The most curious efforts to propagate Judaism were, however, those which were clothed in a Sibylline disguise. In heathen antiquity, the Sibyl was an inspired prophetess whose mysterious oracles concerned the destinies of cities and nations. These oracles enjoyed high esteem among the cultivated Greeks, and, in the second century B.C.E., some Alexandrian Jews made use of them to recommend Judaism to the heathen world. In the Jewish Sibylline books the religion of Israel is presented as a hope and a threat; a menace to those who refuse to follow the better life, a promise of salvation to those who repent. About the year 80 C.E., a book of this kind was composed. It is what is known as the Fourth Book of the Sibylline Oracles. The language is Greek, the form hexameter verse. In this poem, the Sibyl, in the guise of a prophetess, tells of the doom of those who resist the will of the one true God, praises the God of Israel, and holds out a beautiful prospect to the faithful.

45. Great Modern Jewish Literature National Yiddish Book Center Announces The 100 Greatest Works of Modern Jewish Literature http://www.yenra.com/100-greatest-works-of-modern-jewish-literature/

Search: Jewish Great Modern Jewish Literature : National Yiddish Book Center Announces The 100 Greatest Works of Modern Jewish Literature The National Yiddish Book Center announced today its list of "The 100 Greatest Works of Modern Jewish Literature," an initiative to identify and promote the most notable Jewish writing of the past one hundred and fifty years. The list of books includes Jewish literature in all languages and will serve as a "re-definition of the Jewish canon," according to Book Center founder and president Aaron Lansky. "With this list," says Lansky, "we can begin to enrich Jewish education and Jewish creativity at every level." The books were selected by a distinguished international panel of judges assembled by the Center, including Glenda Abramson of Oxford University; Robert Alter of the University of California at Berkeley; Hillel Halkin of Zichron Ya-akov, Israel; Gerson Shaked of Hebrew University in Jerusalem; Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times; Ilan Stavans of Amherst College; and Ruth Wisse of Harvard University. "The need for the program arose out of our conviction that American Jews have failed to embrace modern Jewish writing the tens of thousands of novels, stories, plays, poetry and memoirs that have chronicled the transformation of Jewish life, from the old world to the new," Lansky explains. "Our goal is to carry the Jewish story forward from the Torah, Talmud and other traditional texts to the Jewish literature of our own time."

HELLENISTIC JEWISH LITERATURE B.C.E. B.C.E. ). Sometimes the same general term is used to refer to Jewish material as well; thus, the Book of Ecclesiastes, early rabbinic literature, and the ). Its temporal limits extend into the second century C.E. , for the educated classes of the major cities of the Roman period continued to use Greek rather than Latin as the language of culture. Since the term Hellenistic Jewish literature refers to a subclass of the literature of a period, it is difficult to discuss it historically or in terms of genres in isolation from the rest of the literature of the same period. Traditionally, the material of this literature has been divided into Apocrypha, , and individual authors. Schuerer presents the material as either Palestinian or as Diaspora literature. Only recently, in the works of Joshua Gutmann, has there been an attempt at a systematic historical presentation. The fundamental book of this literature is the Greek translation of the Bible, the . Although the story of its origin as told in the Letter of is probably propaganda, in fact an early date for this translation, at least of the Pentateuch, is very probable (the reign of
