22. Karaite Korner - Shavuot (Feast Of Weeks) karaite explanation of the holiday of Shavuot http://www.karaite-korner.org/shavuot.shtml

Shavuot Shavuot (Feast of Weeks/ Pentecost) is the Biblical harvest-festival celebrated 50 days after the Sunday which falls out during Passover. These fifty days are called the Counting of the Omer. The Rabbis incorrectly celebrate Shavuoth on the 6th of Sivan. What is Shavuot? Hag Ha-Shavuot, is the second of the three annual Hagim [ Pilgrimage-Festivals ] in the Hebrew Calendar and is known in English as the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. Shavuot is also referred to in the Torah as Hag HaKatzir ( Feast of Harvest ) [Ex 23,16] and Yom HaBikurim ( Day of Firstfruits ) [Nu 28,26]. In Post-Biblical times Shavuot was believed to be the anniversary of the Revelation at Sinai, but there is no basis for this in the Tanach (Hebrew Bible). When is Shavuot? Unlike all the other Holidays in the Tanach, the Feast of Weeks is not given a fixed calendar date but instead we are commanded to celebrate it at the end of a 50-day period known as " The Counting of the Omer " (Shavuot being the 50th day). The commencement of this 50-day period is marked by the bringing of the Omer Offering in the Temple as we read, "And you shall count from the morrow after the Sabbath from the day you bring the Omer [Sheaf] of Waving; seven complete Sabbaths shall you count... until the morrow of the seventh Sabbath you will count fifty days... and you shall proclaim on this very day, it shall be a holy convocation for you " (Lev 23,15-16.21). In late Second Temple times a debate arose between the Boethusians and the Pharisees about whether the "morrow after the Sabbath" [Heb.

Karaites During the 9th century C.E., a number of sects arose that denied the existence of oral Torah . These sects came to be known as Karaites (literally, People of the Scripture), and they were distinguished from the Rabbanites or Rabbinical Judaism. The Karaites believed in strict interpretation of the literal text of the scripture, without rabbinical interpretation.They believed that rabbinical law was not part of an oral tradition that had been handed down from G-d, nor was it inspired by G-d, but was an original work of the sages. As such, rabbinical teachings are subject to the flaws of any document written by mere mortals. The difference between Rabbanites and Karaites that is most commonly noted is in regard to the Sabbath : the Karaites noted that the Bible specifically prohibits lighting a flame on the Sabbath, so they kept their houses dark on the sabbath. The Rabbanites, on the other hand, relied upon rabbinical interpretation that allowed us to leave burning a flame that was ignited before the sabbath. Karaites also prohibited sexual intercourse on the sabbath, while Rabbanites considered the sabbath to be the best time for sexual intercourse. The Karaites also follow a slightly different calendar than the Rabbanites. According to the Karaites, this movement at one time attracted as much as 40% of the Jewish people. Today, Karaites are a very small minority, and most Rabbinical Jews do not even know that they exist. For more information about the Karaites, see

Contact the Unit Memories of a momentous find It is now almost exactly a century since Solomon Schechter's Scottish friends in Cambridge, Mrs Agnes Lewis and Mrs Margaret Gibson, showed him a manuscript folio that ultimately led him to the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, and to the massive haul of Genizah fragments that he brought back to Cambridge. Schechter was able to identify the folio as a Hebrew text of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus), the wisdom book written in the 2nd pre-Christian century and copied in 10th-century Cairo. During the period from the initial discovery until the official presentation of the Taylor-Schechter Collection to the University of Cambridge in October, 1898, various noteworthy events took place. These will be commemorated in the relevant issues of Genizah Fragments between now and 1998 by transcriptions and reproductions of original documents. The series begins with an extract from Mrs Lewis's description of developments in the spring of 1896, as related in her volume, In the Shadow of Sinai (1895-1897) (Cambridge, 1898), pp.168-80:

Karaites in Ramla In the middle ages existed in Ramla a large community of Karaites. The first information regarding them in from the 10th century, and the Karaite SAHAL MATZLIACH tells about them and their fine relationship with their neighboring Jews who they called Rabbis: "Our brothers, deciples of the rabbis in the holy mountain ( Jerusalem ) and in Ramla" In later years the Karaite community increased and conflicts aroused between them and the Jews. In the 11th century around the year 1030 the rabbinical authorities in Jerusalem decided to declare a ban on them and planned to carry this out on Jerusalems Mount Of Olives were many would gather for the HOSHANA RABA festival - the last day of the Jewish holiday SUCOT. The governing authorities opposed to this act wanting to keep conflicts between residents as far away as possible. The Karaites in Ramla had special synagogues. One was named KNISA-ALUSTA in Arabic meaning "The middle synagogue". According to one informa there was also a Karaite synagogue named after the Jewish prophet SHMUEL.

Who are the Karaite Jews? The Karaites are an inseparable part of the People of Israel; they believe in the existence of a single written Torah (law), the Torah that was given by God to Moses in the year 2448 (of the Hebrew calendar [=1313 b.c.e.]) on Mount Sinai, after the exodus of Israel to freedom from the Egyptian bondage; the Torah has been passed on in written form from generation to generation.

We will do that later in the semester if it fits into our schedule This week we will be discussing a spy story in Israel's early years that left a nasty mark on the young state, with reverberations for the following 20 years. It was called the "Lavon Affair", after Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon, "Esek HaBish" or "The Mishap". It revolved around nearly a dozen highly dedicated young Egyptian Jews who were asked, and agreed to spy for Israel against the country in which they were born. Why they were caught and more or less abandoned by Israel to incarceration and for a while, torture in Egypt's prisons to be finally released only 14 years later is a question that has never been answered. This story, known as "Operation Susannah", is thus one of idealism and self-sacrifice, as well as abandonment and an unwillingness to take responsibility.

32. New Life In Karaim Communities An academic analysis of the karaite community in Vilnius Lithuania by Dr. Tapani Harviainen, one of the leading scholars of Karaism in Europe today. http://www.hf-fak.uib.no/institutter/smi/paj/Harviainen.html

The third Nordic conference on Middle Eastern Studies: Ethnic encounter and culture change Joensuu, Finland, 19-22 June 1995 Signs of New Life in Karaim Communities Tapani Harviainen University of Helsinki NB Ethnic encounter and culture change , Bergen/London 1997, 72-83. Please quote or refer only to the published article.* In the title of this paper, I have promised to tell of new life in Karaim communities. However, before speaking about new life and the signs of it, it seems necessary to say some words about the Karaim communities. The Karaites and the Karaims, in particular, have remained a borderland indeed. Since the space is limited, we must resort to a number of sweping generalizations which unfortunately do not do full justice to the views of the Karaite movement itself. The Karaite reformation movement arose among the Jews in Mesopotamia in the 8th century A.D. Beside other derogatory stories, it has been claimed that 'Anan ben David, a son of the exilarch of the Jews and a descendant of King David, founded the Karaite sect, since his younger brother was set up in his place as the exilarch of the Jews in Mesopotamia. In fact, we do not know the reasons which led 'Anan ben David to preach about a return to the written word of the Hebrew Bible, i.e. the Old Testament, and about the renunciation of the Oral Law which was highly esteemed by the Rabbanite Jews. As a consequence, the Mishna, the Talmudic literature and the whole traditional hermeneutics, the halakha

However, the sources on its history are very scarce. It is known that the community was formed in the late 1500-s - early 1600-s , it was harmed hardly by Chmielnicki and, obviously, it did not revive. At least, in the documents of the 18-th century the Karaites in Derazhnia are not mentioned There is a manuscript in the Russian National Library (St. Petersburg), which includes a poetic narrative about destruction of the Karaite community of Derezhnia by Bogdan Chmielnicki's army. The MS' number in the catalogue Eâp.

CONTENTS Introduction Foreword Language Groups Tribes and Dialects ... Order the book The Peoples of the Red Book Abazians (Abaza) Abkhaz Aguls Akhvakhs ... Yukaghirs visit the guestbook or mail comments to the webmaster THE KARAIMS Self-designation and origin . The people call themselves karai (pl. karailar ). The designation has been linked to an Old Hebrew verbal noun qáráím 'readers' (of Holy Scripture), which would indicate that the members of this small Turkic group are adherents of a minor branch of Judaism. In an effort to distinguish between the Karaim and the Karaite , some scholars use the designation ' East European Karaim ' for the former. In some sources the Karaim have been recorded as the Tatars (this is sometimes used by the Karaim themselves), or as the Kirghiz or the Jews. It is important to note that as recently as the beginning of this century literate Karaim priests regarded Hebrew as the Karaim language. Hebrew is the language in which sacred texts were written and it is still used during services of the sect in Egypt, Turkey and Israel. Religion has played an important part in forming the Karaim people. Since the 8th century the Karaims have belonged to a sect of Karaism initiated by Anan ben David. This is a reformed Judaism which defends the religious doctrine as it is written in the Bible and rejects the Talmud, the oral tradition. From the 8th to the 10th centuries the Karaims were subjected to the rule of Khazar Kagan. It is recorded in the 13th century that the Karaim congregation practised in Solkhat, the capital city of the Crimean Tatars. In the 14th to the 16th centuries a small number of the Karaim people from Middle Eastern countries were absorbed by the Crimean Karaim.

Home Karaite Cantillation During services, the Hazzan prays standing, kneeling or bowing (as required) on a carpeted floor facing the Aron (the Ark for the Torah Scrolls), and the members all stand in rows behind him (traditionally, there are no seats or pews in a Karaite synagogue). Most of the prayers are read in responsive succession by the Hazzan and the Qahal (congregation). There are differences between weekday mode, the mode for the Sabbath, and the mode for lamentation. The mode for lamentation differs from the weekday mode not only in its intervallic patterns but also in its much wider melodic range. The Hazzan varies the melody according to the number of syllables and his way of stressing important words. The alternating response of the congregation remains unchanged. A few climactic sections are rendered as metric choral songs, such as Shirat HaYam
