Hebrew Glossary Then name Ashkenaz (Bereishit 10:3) has since the 10th century been identified with Germany. As the German and French Jews of the medieval period formed a uniform group in culture and religious customs, they were all referred to as Ashkenazim in contradistinction to the Sefardim or Spanish- Portuguese Jews. Ashkenazim are the people who use Nusach Ashkenaz, the prayer arrangement adopted by the medieval Franco-German Jews, including certain variations described as belonging to the Polish custom (Minhag Polin). The Ashkenazim in Eastern Europe developed an intense religious life, disseminating Talmudic scholarship among the people to a degree never before surpassed in Jewish history. Chasidim and Mithnaggedim and followers of the Haskalah movement (Maskilim) presented a changing pattern of types, trends and ideologies. The vitality of the Ashkenazim still dominates wherever they are transplanted.

What do I need to learn Old Irish? I’m posting this FAQ, not because I’m an expert teacher (I’ve never taught Old Irish), but because I’m an expert learner, in that I have made most of the mistakes students can make in learning a language. I took Old Irish twice, from two very different teachers, using two different syllabi. I was fortunate to have excellent teachers, and my comments are based on their classes, and my own trials and errors. Old Irish: Getting Started I was lucky enough to start learning Old Irish in a small class. Beginning with the Paradigms and Glosses was, and is, a good way to learn Old Irish, but not perhaps the easiest if you are on your own. Once you finish the Lehmanns’ book (or the extracts in the Old Irish Paradigms and Selections from the Glosses), you might try the small booklet of stories that have been selected from the Táin and glossed and normalized for beginning students, Stories from the Táin.

Theology Theology is the systematic and rational study of concepts of God and of the nature of religious truths, or the learned profession acquired by completing specialized training in religious studies, usually at a university or seminary or school of divinity.[1] Definition[edit] Augustine of Hippo defined the Latin equivalent, theologia, as "reasoning or discussion concerning the Deity";[2] Richard Hooker defined "theology" in English as "the science of things divine".[3] The term can, however, be used for a variety of different disciplines or fields of study.[4] Theologians use various forms of analysis and argument (philosophical, ethnographic, historical, spiritual and others) to help understand, explain, test, critique, defend or promote any of myriad religious topics. Theology might be undertaken to help the theologian: History of the term[edit] Various religions[edit] Analogous discourses[edit] Theology as an academic discipline[edit] Theology and ministerial training[edit]
