Abstract

A record from 1 November 1655 of a donation to a certain Sarah from Poland is probably the first documented historical appearance of Sarah the Ashkenazi, future wife of messiah Shabbetai Tzevi. Individually recorded donations by the Sephardic community to Polish refugees were quite unusual in these years, but, according to later biographical sources, the future messianic bride Sarah displayed a great talent for persuading others, and this explains why Amsterdam’s Portuguese Mahamad would give her money. Arriving as a Polish refugee around the time of this record, Sarah the Ashkenazi told a fantastic autobiographical tale that made her stand out among the other refugees and forged a bond of kinship with an earlier refugee. Moreover, she might have claimed clairvoyant abilities.

弥赛亚女王最早的足迹:阿姆斯特丹的德系犹太人萨拉

1655年11月1日，一份从波兰向某位萨拉捐款的记录可能是弥赛亚·沙布泰·泽维未来的妻子阿什肯纳齐人萨拉的第一次历史露面。塞法迪社区向波兰难民单独捐款的记录在这些年很不寻常，但根据后来的传记来源，未来的救世主新娘萨拉在说服他人方面表现出了非凡的天赋，这也解释了为什么阿姆斯特丹的葡萄牙马哈茂德会给她钱。大约在这一记录出现的时候，阿什肯纳兹人萨拉作为一名波兰难民来到这里，她讲述了一个奇妙的自传体故事，使她在其他难民中脱颖而出，并与一名早期难民建立了亲属关系。此外，她可能声称自己有洞察力。

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.
