Abstract

A letter by the army contractor Eliezer Dileon to the community board of Minsk relating his audience with Tsar Alexander I of Russia in January 1817 sheds light on the significance of the performative dimension of Jewish intercession. In the perception of the intercessor, due to the personal encounter between the sovereign ruler and himself, the Jews in Russia constitute part of the political and societal fabric of the Empire, it sees them as ‘a people.’ The letter is one of the very few documents describing and confirming the symbolic meaning of an encounter between a monarch and a Jewish intercessor. It reflects on the reciprocal nature of negotiations between the state and the Jewish minority, the limitations in concrete outcomes notwithstanding.
宪法实际上是什么?Eliezer Dileon给明斯克Kahal的信,1817年
陆军承包商Eliezer Dileon在1817年1月写给明斯克社区委员会的一封信中提到了他与俄罗斯沙皇亚历山大一世的会面,这封信揭示了犹太人代祷的表演层面的重要性。在说情者的观念中,由于主权统治者和他自己之间的个人遭遇,俄罗斯的犹太人构成了帝国政治和社会结构的一部分,它将他们视为“一个民族”这封信是为数不多的描述和证实君主与犹太说情者相遇象征意义的文件之一。它反映了国家和犹太少数民族之间谈判的互惠性质,尽管具体结果存在局限性。

期刊介绍: Zutot: Perspectives on Jewish Culture aims to fill a gap that has become more and more conspicuous among the wealth of scholarly periodicals in the field of Jewish Studies. Whereas existing journals provide space to medium and large sized articles, they neglect the small but poignant contributions, which may be as important as the extended, detailed study. The Zutot serves as a platform for small but incisive contributions, and provides them with a distinct context. The substance of these contributions is derived from larger perspectives and, though not always presented in an exhaustive way, will have an impact on contemporary discussions. The Zutot covers Jewish culture in its broadest sense, i.e. encompassing various academic disciplines—literature, languages and linguistics, philosophy, art, sociology, politics and history—and reflects binary oppositions such as religious and secular, high and low, written and oral, male and female culture.
