25. 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.

31. Judaic Treasures Of The Library Of Congress: The Karaite Humash A reasonably good article on a karaite Humash printed by the community in Ortakoi, 183235 http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/loc/karaite_humash.html

Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress: The Karaite Humash During the nineteenth century, two editions of the Humash (Pentateuch) were printed in the same part of the world at about the same time. One is a splendid edition of the Five Books of Moses in Hebrew with a Turkish Tatar translation in parallel columns, published by the Karaite The Karaites B'nai Mikra (Children of Scripture), are a Jewish sect which had its beginnings in the eighth century. The sect's chief characteristic is that it accepts the authority of the Bible but rejects the Talmudic rabbinic tradition. At its beginnings, Karaism constituted a serious challenge to traditional rabbinic Judaism, but as time went on its attraction receded. its numbers remained small, concentrated in a few centers in Egypt, Turkey, Syria, the Crimea, and Lithuania. If the main body of Jews and the Karaites differed in matters of faith, they shared a common fate, until the incorporation of the Crimea and Lithuania into the Russian Empire at the end of the eighteenth century, when the situation began to change. In 1795, the Empress Catherine 11 permitted the Karaites to purchase land and relieved them of the double taxation imposed upon other Jews. In 1827, Karaites were exempted from the dreaded military draft, which plucked Jewish children from their families for twenty-five years and more of distant military service. It was obvious to the Karaites that it would be to their advantage to distance themselves as far as possible from other Jews. In memoranda to the Czarist government the

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.

Tools and Links The Lavon Affair Due to a change of plans, we will not be discussing the Mossad's role in Iraqi immigration to Israel in the 1950's. 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.

39. 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
