Abstract

There is a popular Ashkenazic custom to serve chickpeas at the Shalom Zakhar celebration on the first Shabbat after a male child is born. Numerous homiletic reasons have been given for this in rabbinic literature. The origin of the custom lies in the practice to serve legumes, a food traditionally associated with mourning, at happy celebrations in order to confuse demonic forces who were understood to desire harming celebrants at such events. The chickpea was the legume of choice due to its longstanding association with fertility.

Shalom Zakhar的鹰嘴豆

阿什肯纳兹有一个流行的习俗，在男孩出生后的第一个安息日，在Shalom Zakhar庆祝活动上供应鹰嘴豆。在犹太教文献中，有许多关于这一点的布道理由。这一习俗的起源在于在欢乐的庆祝活动中提供豆类食物，这是一种传统上与哀悼有关的食物，目的是迷惑那些被认为希望在此类活动中伤害庆祝者的恶魔势力。鹰嘴豆是人们选择的豆类，因为它与生育能力有着长期的联系。

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.
