Shades of Jewishness : the creation and maintenance of a liberal Jewish community in post-Shoah GermanyKranz, Daniela January 2009 (has links)
This PhD thesis focuses on the creation and maintenance of the liberal Jewish community in present day Cologne, Germany. The community has the telling name Gescher LaMassoret, which translates into „Bridge to Tradition.‟ The name gives away that this specific community, its individual members and its struggles cannot be understood without the socio-historic context of Germany and the Holocaust. Although this Jewish community is not a community of Holocaust survivors, the dichotomy Jewish-German takes various shapes within the community and surfaces in the narratives of the individual members. These narratives reflect the uniqueness of each individual in the community. While this is a truism, this individual uniqueness is a key element in Gescher LaMassoret, whose membership consists of people from various countries who have various native languages. Furthermore, the community comprises members of Jewish descent as well as Jews of conversion who are of German, non- Jewish parentage. Due to the aftermaths of the Holocaust and the fact that Gescher LaMassoret houses a vast internal diversity, the creation of this community which lacks any tradition happens through mixing and meshing the life-stories and other narratives of the members, which flow into the collective narrative of the community. On the surface, the narratives of the individual members seem in conflict, they even contradict each other, which means that the narrative of the community is in constant tension. However, under the dissimilarities on the surface of the individual narratives hide similarities in terms of shared values and attitudes, which allow for enough overlaps to create a community by way of braiding a collective narrative, which offers the members to experience a 'felt ethnicity.'

Gedenke des ganzen Weges, den dich der Herr, dein Gott, geführt hat (Dtn 8,2) : eine praktisch-theologische Studie zur Bedeutung von Biografiearbeit für die pastorale Begleitung von Menschen in der nachberuflichen Lebensphase / You shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you (Dtn 8,2) : a practical theological study of the significance of biography work for pastoral care with persons in the post employment phase of lifeSchulz, Ursula (Theologian) 11 1900 (has links)
Text in German, summaries in English and German / Alter und Altern gilt in Deutschland derzeit als eines der wichtigsten Zukunftsfelder
wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Dabei liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf der
nachberuflichen Lebensphase, dem so genannten dritten Lebensalter. Eine
Gesellschaft des um 20-30 Jahre verlängerten Lebens bei meist guter Gesundheit ist
kulturgeschichtlich ein neues Phänomen für das es keine Vorbilder gibt, so dass der
jetzigen Generation der „jungen Alten“ eine gestalterische Aufgabe für sich und die
Nachfolgegenerationen zukommt.
Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema Altern zunächst aus humanistischer und
daran anschließend aus biblisch-theologischer Sicht. Diese beiden Kapitel enthalten
grundlegende Aussagen zum Thema Altern aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen und
beziehen diese, wo möglich, aufeinander. Sie bilden die Grundlage und
Voraussetzung für das Folgekapitel, in dem Bedeutung, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen
von Biografiearbeit als praktisch-theologisches Bildungsangebot in der pastoralen
Begleitung von Menschen in der nachberuflichen Lebensphase untersucht werden.
Dabei wird offensichtlich, dass sowohl gerontologische Literatur als auch biblische
Texte Biografiearbeit an einschneidenden Wendepunkten des Lebens als eine
wichtige Voraussetzung für gelingendes Leben darstellen. Der Person und der
Professionalität der Anleiterin kommen in dem Prozess biografischer Selbstreflexion
mit älteren Menschen eine tragende Rolle zu. / Old age and the process of aging is currently one of the most important fields for
future scientific study and research. Special focus is centered on the post-career
phase. A society where life is prolonged for an extra 20 to 30 years, most of which
are spent in reasonably good health, is culturally speaking a recent phenomenon for
which there are no historical models. It follows, that the current generation bears a
great responsibility in shaping and moulding this stage in their lives not only for
themselves but also for future generations.
This dissertation concentrates on the theme of aging, first from a humanistic point of
view, and secondly by focusing on biblical and theological aspects. Both of these
chapters contain fundamental and important statements regarding the subject of
aging as seen from different disciplines, and, wherever possible, with reference to
each other. They build the basis and prerequisite for the following chapter in which
the significance and possibilities as well as the limits of biography work is researched
in view of pastoral care and training for elderly people in the post employment phase
of their life.
It becomes obvious, that not only gerontological literature but also biblical texts depict
biographical work as an important prerequisite for a life experienced as being
successful, especially at drastic turning points in life. A vital part in biographical
reflection with elderly people is played by the person and professionalism of the
instructor. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)
