Antisemitism in Ashkenazic Lands (The Ashkenazium Lectures part IV) 

A very balanced presentation of a dark and difficult subject matter and I thank you for it. It is through education like this that we learn this history so as to prevent its reoccurance.

I have never understood why people get so worked up about differences in religion or race. So much sorrow and pain for what?

It’s wonderful hearing you read the French

Dear Prof . Abramson, Thank you for your illuminating lectures. If I'm not mistaken, the controversy as to the spelling of antisemitism (with a hyphen and capital S or without) has only been an issue in English speaking countries, with increased pressure coming from scholars, Jewish groups, etc in the past couple of decades to adopt the unhyphenated spelling, for the reasons you describe. In other European languages, including German in which the term was originally coined ("antisemitismus"), it was never hyphenated.

The arch of Titus built in 81AD has 2 inner relief sculpture panels Both illustrate scenes from the triumphal procession held in Rome in 71AD to commemorate the defeat of the Judean rebellion and the destruction of the Hebrew Temple in Jerusalem in 70AD. The north panel shows Titus riding a chariot and being crowned with a laurel leaf. The South panel shows Roman soldiers carrying the spoils from the Hebrew temple including the golden candelabra, trumpets and shewbread table.

A good story, but the analysis of the material objective, economic, and political causes of conflict is absent. It's just naïve to say that hate comes out of nowhere, of a cultural whim, or some animadversion that's just for psychology.

Well done

¿What about antigentilism or goyimophobia? That's worth making a video too; ideally, as a debate between whichever intellectual heavy weights that can be reached for the occasion.

Thanks!

Exoteric Christianity is a Jewish sect. Esoteric Christianity is a Greek mystery religion of death and resurrection plus some other forms of syncretism.

In the selicha from R ‘ AVIGDOR Kara את כל התלאה commemorating the massacre of the Jews of Prague in 1389 , it occurred on [not so] Good Friday Achron shel Pessach.A result of a desecration of the unholy host libel. It’s recited to this day in Prague on Yom Kippur. And following the request of maharal also on Yom Kippur katan. In it it defines a communal suicide and the desecration of the Jewish cemetery. His is the oldest standing matzeiva in the old cemetery.

Motives for the so-called "antisemitism" (a misnomer, anyway) need to be explored. However, motives explain behavior, but never do they refute claims.

Walentyn Potocki is there anything to this story?

Can judaïsm be associated to a tribal non universal religion?

In genesis 10 the Semites are listed

Check out Vincente Ferrer.

the issue with your explanation of antisemitism following on the heels sartre is that antisemitism is not somehow isolated to the disenfranchised. the european aristocracy and intellectuals were often hostile in their attitudes toward jews. was maria theresa of austria in need of an explanation for her personal hardship such that she just had to scapegoat jews in order to cope psychologically? what about ivan the terrible, or any succession of Russian czars? immanuel kant? balzac? martin luther? was richard nixon disenfranchisd? billy graham? yours is a nonsensical explanation. some of the most ardent philosemites, like christian zionists, come from some the poorest areas of the united states. if jews have such hardships in gentiles lands, why not leave? nothing necessitates the existence of a diaspora. israel is a sovereign state for ethnic jews. i would not support a mass relocation of europeans to israel. why do jews need to live in gentile lands if gentiles are so harsh? perhaps each ethnic group should remain in its own land so that it might choose its own form of life. i can't tell if explanations like yours are made in good faith or if you're being dishonest. perhaps jews and gentiles see the world so differently that they literally perceive different realities, or if someone is just being blatantly dishonest. we need to have honest conversations about this topic. but, if both parties are unwilling to tell the truth then both are only contributing to future hostility.

The descendants and talmidim of the Rosh killed them selves in the pogroms of 1391 . According to the Ashkenazi custom in Toledo.

Yea, anti-Semite is an ambiguous word. Always wondered why they just don't say anti-Jewish.

A zissen Pesach. And many more!!!!!

Thank God Easter is a New Beginning; the present is a new beginning. We can all learn from past mistakes. I know several Jewish Catholics have been affected personally. The Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of Holy Communion are separate. Reconciliation needs to be done first before Communion should be received. One has to be in a state of grace or a state of friendship with God before Communion, otherwise it is spiritually detrimental instead of fruitful for the soul and spirit, and therefore the body.
