Though important in some Christian theologies, the distinction is not recognized by the Jews themselves who still call themselves Hebrew in Hebrew. Thus to tell some Jews they are not the same as the Hebrews is likely to be offensive. See British Israelism, Khazars, etc. The Hebrew Encyclopedia Click the link for more information.

Shmuel Yosef Agnon Shmuel Yosef Agnon Shmuel Yosef Agnon was born in Buczacz, Galicia, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Poland). His father had received rabbinical training, but was a fur trader by profession. Agnon received a traditional education. He studied in his youth the Talmud under the tutelage of his father and a local rabbi. From this Eastern European background that placed the study of Scripture at the center of communal life, Agnon acquired a deep knowledge of the rabbinical texts. His first poems, written in Hebrew and Yiddish, were published in a newspaper when he was fifteen. In 1907 he moved to Jaffa, Palestine, where he served as the first secretary of Jewish Court in Jaffa. He took the surname Agnon, and published the short novel AGUNOT (1908) in Hebrew under his pen name. From the title of the story Agnon took his name, which he adopted as his legas surname in 1924. In 1912 Agnon went to Berlin. There he continued his studies of literature and moved in literary and scholarly circles. He lived in Germany throughout World War I and served as a research assistant to scholars, and helped to found the journal Der Jude (The Jew). During this time he met the businessman Salman Schocken, his lifelong patron and publisher. In Germany he also met and married his wife, Esther Marx.

Shmuel Yosef Agnon (1888-1970) Agnon is a central figure in modern Hebrew fiction. He wrote many novels and short stories about major contemporary spiritual concerns. He won the Israel Prize for Literature in 1954 and 1958 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1966, the first time that honor was given to a Hebrew writer. Agnon was a devout Jew who spent much of his life in Israel. He was extremely dedicated to vegetarianism and wove vegetarian themes into many of his stories. His great sensitivity to all creatures is indicated in the following excerpt from his speech upon receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature: Lest I slight any creature, I must also mention the domestic animals, the beasts, and the birds from whom I have learned. Job said long ago (35:11) "Who teacheth us more than than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?" - Richard Schwartz

Shmuel Yosef AGNON Submitted by Norbert Porile Shmuel Yosef Agnon was the first Hebrew language writer to win the Nobel prize in literature. He was born in Buchach in 1888. His father, whose family name was Czaczkes, was a fur merchant and a follower of the Hasidic Rebbe of Chórtkow. Agnon grew up under a strong Hasidic and rabbinical influence and received private schooling in Yiddish and Hebrew. He started writing in these two languages before he was 10 years old and published his first poem at age 15. He published numerous short stories and poems in his early years. In 1907 he left Buchach for Palestine and lived in both Jaffa and Jerusalem. He first used the pseudonym "Agnon" in Ha-Omer , his first story published in Palestine, and adopted it as his family name in 1924. Once he left Buchach he stopped writing in Yiddish and wrote mostly in Hebrew. He spent the years from 1913 to 1924 in Germany, where he edited the Juedischer Verlag. He lived mostly in Berlin, where he associated with Jewish scholars and Zionists. Many of his stories of that period were set in the world of pious Polish Jews, but most of his manuscripts were destroyed in a fire and were never published. Agnon returned to Jerusalem in 1924 and began his most creative period shortly thereafter. His work dealt with major contemporary spiritual concerns, with the disintegration of traditional ways of life, and with the loss of faith and identity. Among his major works are The Bridal Canopy, published in 1937, a folk epic that became a cornerstone of modern Hebrew literature, and A Guest for the Night, published in 1939 following serialization in

Shmuel Yosef Agnon (1888-1970) was born in Buczacz, Eastern Galicia. Raised in a mixed cultural atmosphere, in which Yiddish was the language of the home, and Hebrew the language of the Bible and the Talmud which he studied formally until the age of nine, Agnon also acquired a knowledge of German literature from his mother, and of the teachings of Maimonides and of the Hassidim from his father. In 1907 he left home and made his way to Palestine, where, except for an extended stay in Germany from 1913 to 1924, he has remained to this day. At an early age, Agnon began writing the stories which form a chronicle of the decline of Jewry in Galicia. Included among these is his first major publication, Hakhnasat Kalah (The Bridal Canopy), 1922, which re-creates the golden age of Hassidism, and his apocalyptic novel, Oreach Nata Lalun (A Guest for the Night), 1939, which vividly depicts the ruin of Galicia after the First World War. Nearly all of his other writings are set in his adopted Palestine and deal with the replacement of the early Jewish settlement of that country by the more organized Zionist movement after the Second World War. The early pioneer immigrants are portrayed in his epic Temol Shilshom (Only Yesterday), 1945, considered his greatest work, and also in the nightmarish stories of

One of the central figures in modern Hebrew fiction, his works deal with the conflict between traditional Jewish life and the modern world, and attempt to recapture the fading traditions of the European shtetl, or township. Shmuel Yosef Czaczkes (Agnon's original name) was born in the Jewish shtetl of Buczacz, Galicia, where his father was a fur merchant and follower of the hasidic rebbe of Chortkov. Agnon did not go to school but received his education from his father who taught him aggadah, and from his mother who taught him German literature. When he was eight years old he began to write in Hebrew and Yiddish, and at 15 published his first Yiddish poem. In the following years he began to publish regularly and wrote 70 pieces in Hebrew and Yiddish within three years. As a young man, Agnon left his shtetl of Buczacz and immigrated to Israel, where he temporarily left his religious way of life. Shortly afterwards, however, he returned to Jewish tradition and remained an observant Jew for the rest of his life.

Agnon was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1966 with Nelly Sachs . Resisting easy classification Agnon's works represent a fusion of irony, religious storytelling, experimentalism, and surrealism. Agnon explored the subjective and collective experiences of the Eastern European Jews throughout history. He used the traditional religious sources and folklore, blurring later in his works the boundaries of sacred and secular texts. His language was a blend of classic and rabbinic Hebrew and Yiddish revived in a spoken Hebrew. " I belong to the Tribe of Levi; my forebears and I are of the minstrels that were in the Temple, and there is a tradition in my father's family that we are of the lineage of the Prophet Samuel, whose name I bear."

Shmuel Yosef Agnon Quotations Polish-born Israeli Writer Memories Are Like Clouds at Amazon Our sages of blessed memory have said that we must not enjoy any pleasure in this world without reciting a blessing. If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after. If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure. The same applies to pleasures of the sight. And the same applies to pleasures of the ear. I belong to the tribe of Levi. I was five years old when I wrote my first song. It was out of longing for my father that I wrote it. Who were my mentors in poetry and literature? This is a matter of opinion. Some see in my books the influences of authors whose names, in my ignorance, I have not even heard, while others see the influences of poets whose names I have heard but whose writings I have not read. And what is my opinion? From whom did I receive nurture? Not every man remembers the name of the cow which supplied him with each drop of milk he has drunk. People’s talk and the stories they tell have been engraved on my heart, and some of them have flown into my pen.
