The Sonnets William Shakespeare. Despite the survey, the anecdotes involving a Romanian and a Hungarian character, regularly, Ion John and Janos, are not generally xenophobic. The large number of such interethnic jokes is probably caused by the fact that Hungarians were and remained highly visible in the public conscience, rather than being actually disturbing.

In fact, there are many jokes with Hungarian-Romanian interactions that ridicule the xenophobia of the Romanians, especially when the latter are represented by some local political figures, well known in the country for their national extremism. The census indicated , Iancu Many fled from Bessarabia after the Russian occupation of or were brought by Romanian authorities to colonize new towns. But more than a habitual ethnic unity, their social interaction was emphasized by an obvious propensity to chat.

The Romanian Jews practiced, publicly, close con- versations, manifesting a social behavior that supposedly characterized the eastern European Jews in general. They simply enjoyed schmoozing, their everyday chatting, sometimes planned ahead, at other times, spontaneous, when the interlocutors happened to meet. The intraethnic communication effectively contributed to their image of being a distinctive and homogenous ethnic group.

For the Romanians, the Jewish way of socializing was quite uncommon, and it was largely perceived as an irregular con- versational process, in three major aspects: Socially. The conversation was isolated, secretive, exclusive. Even when loud, between larger groups, the conversation seemed strange. Commercial interests led to group discussions and, as there were no stock exchanges, commercial transac- tions took place on the street. Jews spoke Yiddish, a galling jargon, and their language proved to be a problem, especially because they wanted Romanian citizenship.

Additionally, they spoke Romanian badly, for which they were often laughed at. It also entered the German language, with an additional meaning of cozying or cuddling up to someone Finkin The conversations covered other religious matters, other social and economic concerns, and other political views—not those that would normally concern Romanians.

For Romanians, the Jewish group and the Jewish dialogue was, perceptually and responsively, unfamiliar. Any hereafter misjudgment seemed legitimate. Gabble of geese. Their verbal manifestations were too obscure and bizarre to be understood. In the nineteenth-century French dictionaries, the figurative meaning of Hebrew, a language that was used in the Jewish liturgical service, was chose inintelligible, a loosely semantic allocation that encompassed especially a riddling language Boiste P.

Indiscernible, cliquish, and distressing, the Jewish dialogue was beforehand condemned to prejudicial exploits. Picturing a Prejudice The strange impression of the intercommunicating Jews cemented a minor motif in early modern and modern European art. Over the centuries, many artists repre- sented Jews involved in close discussions. But since a visual rendering of a dialogue proved difficult, the actual subject of speech remained notional and inferential, being debatable and, therefore, ascribed to the art theory.

In one of his works, the Romanian national painter Nicolae Grigorescu de- picted two Jews facing each other ill. The roughly sketched pew makes the viewer understand that the scene is set in a synagogue. Yet, there is no devotional act, no sacramental atmosphere; the two frowning old men are paused in their own conversation.

Interestingly, the artist did not invent a situation but only assigned to the Jews an attitude that was already known to be characteristic of them. A fair testimony to that was the fact that many eastern European Jews that migrated in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century were attending services, not out of religious duty, but for the schmoozing and socializing that went on there Hoffman 8. The gabbais [officials in charge of assigning Torah honors] are trying to shush them, but small cliques and klatches defy this shushing and keep on talking.

Indeed, in one or two cases, the people being quieted engaged the gabbai in conversation. Who are they and what are they talking about? We hear them mumbling verses from the Bible or discussing of trade. They are the jewels resellers, the pearls traffickers, the dress sellers, the furriers, the moneychangers; they know how to test the diamonds and touch the gold; they know about laces, ivories, silver works and antiquities; they wear old furs, mangy bonnets, rancid clothes.

This is, in effect, the representation of a conspiracy. The archaic usage of the word synagogue, havra, suffered a semantic contamination with the word lavra—noisy group. In the Christian mentality, not only did the synagogue concentrate a pure ungodliness, but it was also home to evil scheming. His Jews were many, and although the historiography generally avoided discussing a possible anti-Semitism, his interpretors praised his ability to capture the true Jewish essence, especially their harmful character.

The Romanian historian A. Although Jews were known for their passionate religious talks, in some eyes, being inside the synagogue or close-by did not offer the Jews a spiritual alibi. The same judgment can be applied in the case of an etching made by Alexandru Poitevin-Skeletti and exhibited at the Romanian Autumn Saloon in The work, representing a synagogue from Jassy, lays focus, in fact, on two Jews engaged in a surrepti- tious conversation.

In the next case, the plot becomes more seeming, even though the dialogue is even less explicit. Moreover, for pointing out the conspirative profile of the edito- rial office, two clear Jewish profiles appear behind the managers. A tacit under- standing dwells between the two Jews. The one on the left has his head turned to his companion, whereas the other one, although fully facing the viewer, watches the former out of the corner of his eye.

The two are a metaphor of the plot. Their unclear interest allows now a plausible total interest; masked behind an opinion- forming journal, their undermining can be political, economical, and religious. Still, such intrigues are not practiced only in backstage cabals, but also in street-corner arrangements.

The conspiracy loses intensity, but gains plausibility and justifiability. This time, both characters are manifestly talkative, and their speech benefits of a gestural comple- ment that partially dissolves the corporeal immobility we have encountered so far. The raised hand of the left Jew, simultaneously indicative and expository, point- ing subtly at a piece of clothing suspended by the other hand, supports the viewer in suspecting them of a shoddy trickery probably a buy cheap—sell dear, clothes exchange , a plot far from being nationally pernicious but in which the characters invested all their cunningness and viciousness.

This time, the subject of discussion is more clearly underlined, the title of the painting pointing out that we are witnessing a personal financial business. One of the Jews—dressed in the shabby costume of the jobless workman—whispered to the other a hopeful secret, judging from the joy that radiates from the lighted face of the other. Both faces, characteristic, cor- further. The artist did not capture the internal set-up of the plot, discussed exclusively between Jews, but its outward development and its pernicious effect on the Romanian population.

II, no. The author of the article returns upon the work after a few months, when the painting was presented in a personal exhibition. In conclusion, representing a group of Jews talking business was seen as normal even by the Jews.

The accuracy of their gestural mechanics—the good-fortune sign of the left Jew,11 the beard patting hand of the second, suggesting heedfulness— and their intimate proximity were not called into question.

The message was cor- rect though not emotional, stereotypical but not prejudicial—again, the prejudices being accumulated by the viewer. We are in front of an ordinary informal street brokerage, a situation that the Jews were very used to.

Presumably the gesture had similar meanings for Jews. We are God's children. Present time is Sangam Yug Confluence Age. And no one knows him fully.

It can perhaps be taken to refer to the Apostles. In accordance with this, liturgies are not celebrated [on fasting days], as you can observe yourself every year during the Holy Forty-Day [Lent] except on Sundays and Saturdays, for these two are feasts appointed? We have been commanded to observe and celebrate them always by the Canons of the Apostles and of their successors, the teachers of the Church,47 who wrote them down by the Holy Spirit, Who descended upon them in the Upper-Room of Sion.

This is because they considered these days to be days of rejoicing, festivity, and celebration on which there are no fasts and no prostrations. You see it yourself and hear it proclaimed every year in the Holy Orthodox Church of God, but not in the other churches. The majority of people, however, do not bring to mind r the beauty of this order and of this arrangement appointed for them by the Holy Spirit—they are too busy to do this because of their preoccupation with the passing affairs of this world.

Please know this, God willing. This is why abstention from liturgies and other festivities is more appropriate for these two days— as long as they are free from any feast or commemoration—than for other days.

The liturgies of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil and in Egyptian and Palestinian usage of the time: the liturgies of St. Mark and St. James are complete liturgies—in contradistinction to the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. You find this written in the Canons of the Apostles, too.

This is why the faithful are to conduct prayer and the liturgy on Saturdays v and Sundays at the third hour55—the hour during which the Holy Spirit descended upon [the Apostles] in the likeness of fiery tongues [cf. Acts ]. This is how the practice of the Church has been after them, under their successors and to this day.

Please understand this, God willing. It is for this reason that the Fathers after them and to this day have not prescribed a liturgy on Wednesdays and Fridays. This is because they did not see fit to serve it at the ninth hour,58 so they did not make it a necessary obligation for these two sorrowful days, as they did for Saturdays and Sundays.

Unless he has been prevented from doing so by reason of bodily illness. Mark of Alexandria may be referring to some interpretation of this canon.

The occurrence of a feast takes over the day; similar is the case with commemorations of the dead on the days of their commemorations, of the burning of incense for them, and of the liturgies served on funerals on account of their necessity, for these, too, take over the day when they occur. No animal products are permitted on these days, and those who are careful about their religious observance consume only one meal a day.

Therefore, no one has an excuse for failing to make an effort and to be observant. Whoever has kept the fast until evening without [even as much as eating] bread is a perfect man, who has accomplished a perfect fast.

During this [week] animal products are specifically eaten on Wednesday and Friday, as they are during the week from Pascha to St. Thomas Sunday. This is because for us there is no difference between the Son and the Holy Spirit with regard to [Their] essence and [Their] co-eternality with the Father. Theodore the abbot of Studion and by St. John the Faster, disciple of Gregory the Great,61 in accordance with what the teachers of the Church, who are the successors [of the Apostles], received from the Apostles by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Please know this. John the Faster was patriarch of Constantinople in Gregory the Great was Pope of Rome in Before becoming Pope, in , Gregory had been an apocrisiarius papal legate at the imperial court in Constantinople, which is where he met John the Faster.

This [practice? For this reason on this day the people of the Church refrain from doing prostrations whilst among the congregation and devote themselves to other [practices]—those that have been explained above.

You will find this recorded? Its overall meaning seems to be that on Holy Friday reflection on the Scriptures takes precedence over ritual observances. After they received baptism and [were ordained to] the priesthood, many of them v had doubts regarding the Offering, the faith, and the religion and returned to their idol sacrifices and evil practice[s]. Presently, however, by the grace of God all the faithful—those who attend the liturgy and those who are absent, those who receive Communion and those who do not—have one and the same sound faith and unblemished intention.
