Blutinger is the inaugural holder of the Barbara and Ray Alpert Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies and Director of the Jewish Studies Program, an interdisciplinary major and minor established in 1999. He is the author of numerous articles on such varied topics as Holocaust education in Israel, post-Communist Holocaust memorialization, the reception of science in Hebrew-language Enlightenment newspapers, and the origins of the term “orthodox” as a denominational label among Jews.  Most recently, he has published two articles: a study of Kevin MacDonald, one of the most influential anti-Jewish, white nationalist academics in contemporary America, and an examination of how Bruno Balz, a gay German lyricist persecuted by the Nazis, came to write the most popular songs of the home front during the last years of World War II. He has recently written an intellectual biography of the great nineteenth-century Jewish historian Heinrich Graetz and the book manuscript is undergoing peer review.  He also has a chapter on leftwing academic antisemitism in the California State University system accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed volume.

Im Rahmen der Konferenz „Israel: Deutsche Projektionen“, die im Mai 2024 in München stattfand, wurde untersucht, wie Israel in Deutschland heute und im Laufe des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts wahrgenommen und imaginiert wurde und wird. Die Konferenz brachte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus den Bereichen Geschichte, Philosophie, Literatur, Soziologie und Medienwissenschaft zusammen, um die verschiedenen deutschen Projektionen von Israel aus einer interdisziplinären Perspektive zu betrachten. Der Vortrag von Prof. George Kohler fiel in den Bereich ‚Diskurs und Imagination‘.

Apart from an opening survey of modern study of ancient Jewish history, which emphasizes the foundational role of German-Jewish scholars, the studies united in Ancient Jewish Historians and the German Reich: Seven Studies (de Gruyter, 2024) apply philological methods to the writings of four of them: Heinrich Graetz, Isaak Heinemann, Elias Bickerman(n), and Abraham Schalit. In each case, it is argued that some seemingly trivial anomaly or infelicity, in a publication about such ancient characters as Antiochus Epiphanes, Herod, and Josephus, points to the way in which the historian constructed, and revised, his understanding of the Jews' situation under Greeks or Romans in light of his perception of the Jews' situation under the Second or Third Reich. The collection also includes a study that focuses on a Jewish medievalist, Philipp Jaffé, and unravels the indirect but inexorable process that led from a scholarly feud about the editing of medieval Latin texts, in the 1860s, to the “Berlin Antisemitism Dispute” (Berliner Antisemitismusstreit) of 1879–1881, which is commonly viewed as the opening act of modern German antisemitism.

Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 4-page article I wrote, entitled, Rav Hirsch on Bad Biographies, in which I compare Lawrence Kaplan's critique of Hillel Goldberg's Between Berlin and Slobodka to Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch's critique of Heinrich Graetz's History of the Jews, concluding with the question of whether I should continue reading Goldberg's book. Even if you're not interested in MY article, I highly recommend reading Rav Hirsch's critique, which I cite in full. It's one of the best reviews of anything I've ever read.  ----------The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by Courtney K. ----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

Im Zuge der aktuellen Gesundheitskrise haben Verschwörungstheoretiker und ihre nicht selten höchst kruden Thesen wieder an Auftrieb gewonnen. Viele dieser Mythen und Versuche, eine immer komplizierter werdende Welt mit einfachen Mustern zu erklären, greifen auf klassische antisemitische Stereotype zurück. In dieser Folge geht Dr. Philipp Lenhard diesen Stereotypen nach und beleuchtet deren historische Hintergründe und aktuelle Funktion. Sein Interviewpartner ist Felix Balandat, Recherche- und Informationsstelle Antisemitismus Bayern (RIAS Bayern). Die Zitate von Heinrich Graetz werden gelesen von Fabian Weber.

The most influential, brilliant, flawed, and opinionated of modern Jewish Historians. German Jewish Historicism at its best and at its worst

Why were German Jews so fascinated by Iberian Sephardic history? In Role Model and Countermodel: The Golden Age of Iberian Jewry and German Jewish Culture during the Era of Emancipation (Lexington Books, 2015), University of Oklahoma Professor Dr. Carsten Schapkow looks beyond the typical model of German-Jewish assimilation in response to emancipation in German lands a failed model, according to many to uncover the paradigm that Jews in Germany really spoke, wrote, and dreamed about during the long 19th century: the history of the Iberian Sephardic Jews as their model. From popular journalists and authors such as Heinrich Graetz and Ludwig Philippson to elite academics, from scientists to philosophers, Jews in Germany imagined their future according to their understanding of Jewish life under Muslims and Christians in Spain and Portugal during the so-called Golden Age and the period of la convivencia. According to their understanding of that era in Iberia, Jews had served as cultural mediators, their language and other skills enabling Jews to benefit the majority culture. Jews integrated into the majority culture, according to this view, without sacrificing their identity. They were able to make a difference not only within Jewish history, that describes this era as a Golden Age, but also be regarded as important participants in Iberian culture, diplomacy, science, and philosophy. Dr. Schapkow draws on an impressive variety of sources to prove his point. Dr. Schapkow spoke to New Books in Jewish Studies from Germany, sharing very interesting insights into both the history of Iberian Jews and the history of German Jews offering a window onto extraordinarily engaging questions.

Exekiel Lifschutz discusses the life and work of historian Heinrich Graetz (1817-1891).

This lecture will shed light on the significance of TaNaK and provide a brief history of canon formation research. The lecture will look at the Three Stage Theory, Heinrich Graetz and his ideas on canon formation, and Herbert Ryle's argument for the successive model of canon formation. The Law and the Prophets are revealed to form the fundamental grammar by which the whole of the Old Testament is to be construed.
