Jewish Bar Mitzvah Items Judaica It is important to note that a bar mitzvah is not the goal of a Jewish education, nor is it a graduation ceremony marking the end of a person's Jewish education. Bar mitzvah is not about being a full adult in every sense of the word, ready to marry, go out on your own, earn a living and raise children. Bar mitzvah is simply the age when a person is held responsible for his actions and minimally qualified to marry. www.ahuva.com /Categories/BarMitzvah.aspx   (731 words)

Judaism 101: Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah and Confirmation The bar or bat mitzvah is a relatively modern innovation, not mentioned in the Talmud, and the elaborate ceremonies and receptions that are commonplace today were unheard of as recently as a century ago. In its earliest and most basic form, a bar mitzvah is the celebrant's first aliyah. Please keep in mind that a bar mitzvah is incorporated into an ordinary sabbath service, and many of the people present at the service may not be involved in the bar mitzvah. www.jewfaq.org /barmitz.htm   (1193 words)

Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah and Confirmation It is a relatively modern innovation, not mentioned in the Talmud, and the elaborate ceremonies and receptions that are commonplace today were unheard of as recently as a century ago. During Shabbat services on a Saturday shortly after the child's 13th birthday, the celebrant is called up to the Torah to recite a blessing over the weekly reading. The Reform movement tried to do away with the Bar Mitzvah for a while, scorning the idea that a 13 year old child was an adult. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/Judaism/barmitz.html   (801 words)

Wikinfo | Simon bar Kokhba Simon bar Kokhba was a Jewish military leader who led Bar Kokhba's revolt against the Romans in 132 CE, establishing an independent state of Israel which he ruled for three years as Nasi ("prince," or "president"). Originally named Simon Bar Koziba, he was given the name Bar Kokhba (Aramaic for "Son of a Star", referring to, "A star has shot off Jacob") by his contemporary, the Jewish sage Rabbi Akiva, who contemplated the possibility that Bar Kochba could be the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. Bar Kokhba was the subject of an operetta, Bar Kokhba, written by Abraham Goldfaden some time between 1883 and 1885. www.wikinfo.org /wiki.php?title=Bar_Kokhba   (416 words)

Bar Kochba (Shimon Bar Kosiba) and the Bar Kochba Revolt - Zionism and Israel -Encyclopedia / Dictionary/Lexicon of ... Bar Kochba and most of the remaining defenders died of starvation some time in 136, traditionally on the 9th day of Av (August), a date that coincides with the destruction of the temple. From the discussion of Bar Kochba in Talmudic literature, it is evident that he never had the support of all factions of the religious establishment. A perhaps dubious tradition claimed that Bar Kochba had false Messianic pretensions, and insisted that the failure of Bar Kochba indicated the futility of Jewish self defense in general. www.zionism-israel.com /dic/Bar_Kochba.htm   (2028 words)

Aramaic phrases in the Greek New Testament Aramaic primacy Aramaic Primacists believe that the Christian New Testament and/or its sources were originally written in the Aramaic language, not Koine Greek as is generally claimed. Abba, an Aramaic word (written Αββα in Greek, and 'abbā in Aramaic), is immediately followed by the Greek equivalent (Πατηρ) with no explicit mention of it being a translation. The Aramaic word švaqtanî is based on the verb švaq, 'to leave, forget', with the perfect tense ending -t (2nd person singular: 'you'), and the object suffix -anî (1st person singular: 'me'). www.chaldean.org.uk /greek.htm   (2485 words)

Historical Proofs Aramaic is an ancient Semitic language (very similar to Hebrew) that according to the Encyclopedia Britannica became the dominant language of the Middle East, around 500-600 years before the birth of the Messiah. Aramaic was so firmly established as the lingua franca that no government could dispense with its use as a vehicle of expression in a far-flung empire, especially in the western provinces. Aramaic, as we know from history and the Bible (parts of Ezra, Jeremiah and Daniel were written in Aramaic, albeit with the Hebrew script), became the dominant language even among the Israelis. www.aramaicpeshitta.com /Online_Version/historical_proofs.htm   (10019 words)

Biblical Hebrew E-Magazine The word "bar" does not mean "son" but is the construct form of the word "ben". The grammatical use of the word "bar" requires it to be used in the construct state "son of..." and not as a stand alone word for "son". The Aramaic word for "son" when not in the construct state is the word "ben" and would have been used here if that was the author's intended meaning. www.ancient-hebrew.org /emagazine/013.html   (2334 words)

[No title] The Aramaic term bar nasha is used in Dan 7:13 to indicate that the entity seen by Daniel prophet in his vision appeared as a human, in contrast to the beast previously seen and Jehovah God sitting on His throne. The equivalent terms in Hebrew and Aramaic for son of man are used 107 times total in the OT, and in every occasion is the equivalent of the English human being. Since the historical used of bar nasha in Scripture is that of human being, the conclusion to be drawn is that Jesus used this term to refer to himself without the use of the word "I". www2.xlibris.com /bookstore/book_excerpt.asp?bookid=1316   (11698 words)

Aramaic of Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Generally, scholars believe that the towns of Nazareth and Capernaum where Jesus lived were Aramaic-speaking communities, that he was knowledgeable enough in Hebrew to discuss the Hebrew Bible, and that he might have known some Greek through commerce as a carpenter in nearby Sepphoris. This article explores Aramaic reconstructions of phrases in the New Testament as attributed to Jesus and New Testament figures. However, when Jesus is described by the New Testament as quoting from the Hebrew Bible, the quotations that are given most closely correlate with the Septuagint, and not direct Greek translations of the Masoretic Text. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Aramaic_of_Jesus   (3253 words)
