Der Tempelberg in Jerusalem steht im Zentrum einer alten Kontroverse zwischen Judentum und Islam. Seit der Eroberung der Jerusalemer Altstadt 1967 wurde zwar ein Modus vivendi erreicht, doch die Diskussion um den Wiederaufbau des Dritten jüdischen Tempels hält gleichwohl an. Yoel Cohen führt in den theologischen Hintergrund der Auseinandersetzung ein und untersucht erstmalig das gesamte Meinungsspektrum zur Tempelfrage und zur jüdisch-arabischen Dimension der Problematik. Cohen, der in der Frage einen dezidiert jüdischen Standpunkt vertritt, hat über hundert Interviews mit jüdischen Radikalen, christlichen Fundamentalisten, religiösen Repräsentanten jüdischer und islamischer Provenienz sowie mit israelischen und jordanischen Politikern geführt.
Wilhelm Herzberg's novel Jewish Family Papers, which was first published under a pseudonym in 1868, was one of the bestselling German-Jewish books of the nineteenth century. Its numerous editions, reviews, and translations - into Dutch, English, and Hebrew - are ample proof of its impact. Herzberg's Jewish Family Papers picks up on some of the most central contemporary philosophical, religious, and social debates and discusses aspects such as emancipation, antisemitism, Jewishness and Judaism, nationalism, and the Christian religion and culture, as well as gender roles. So far, however, the novel has not received the scholarly attention it so assuredly deserves. This bilingual volume is the first attempt to acknowledge how this outstanding source can contribute to our understanding of German-Jewish literature and culture in the nineteenth century and beyond. Through interdisciplinary readings, it will discuss this forgotten bestseller, embedding it within various contemporary discourses: religion, literature, emancipation, nationalism, culture, transnationalism, gender, theology, and philosophy.
