Квартирный вопрос

[arpad]

.
Как это обычно пишет mozgovaya "Личное. Неинтересно"

В августе кончится договор. Думаю давить ли хозяйку до 600 долларов за привычную квартиру на Черняховском (даже это дорого) или искать что-то новое. И что? И с кем? Переезжать - надоело. И с работой будет непонятно что.

Мой нынешний сосед - тихий израильтянин. И с ним скучно. Искать компаньона и новую квартиру? Искать студию?

Выбор, массаракш, выбор... И как всегда в тот момент когда непонятно для чего выбирать.



Господа, если кто-то искал квартиру в последнее время - сколько сейчас стоит пристойная студия в Иерусалиме? Рехавия и окрестности, Эмек-Рефаим - типа того.

Reading a book about Bob Dylan, I came across an expression "bar mitzvah".
E.G.:
"When it came time for Bob to study for his bar mitzvah a rabbi arrived by bus from NY".

"Bob had his bar mitzvah in May 1954".

What is bar mitzvah? Could you please explain?

Bar Mizvah

Not serious: A Bar Mizvah is defined as the day when a Jewish boy comes to the realization that he is more likely to own a professional sports team than he is to play for one.

Serious: bar mitzvah - (Judaism) an initiation ceremony marking the 13th birthday of a Jewish boy and signifying the beginning of religious responsibility; "a bar mitzvah is an important social event". Not religious - just responsibility. Before BM parents are responsible for boy's misdoings. Afterwards - all responsibility is his.

Content note: "studying for Bar Mitzva". At traditional BM on the Sabbath immediately following 13 birthday, boy is called upon to be one of the seven men who read that week's selection from the Torah. But in modern society (outside of Israel) where children can not read Hebrew (nor Aramaic) they "study" before BM - i.e. prepare themselves to parrot some chapter in original without any (or with very little) understanding :)

"A rabbi arriving by bus from NY" looks to me like special threatment.

Well, that's great! Thank you for the explanation!

Bar Mitzvah - it's Hebrew or something? How should it be translated?

> A rabbi arriving by bus from NY

It's simple. The fact is that Zimmermans (I mean, you know, young Bob Zimmerman, later known as Dylan, and his parents) lived at the time in Hibbing, a mining town in Minnesota. The population was mainly european emigrants, and Jewish community was very small, so small that they didn't even have a rabbi. The Zimmermans was a relatively wealthy family, so they could afford inviting a rabbi. I believe that other jewish boys also studied while the man was there; but after Bob's bar mitzvah he left back to NY.

בר מצוה
(Hebrew)


Bar = son (ancient form, modern is "Ben")
Mitzvah = commandment, good deed, good religious deed, etc

So it can be translated like "son's good deed" but if you translate some text just write it as it sounds.

All right, thanks again, I knew you could help!

Aramaic 'Bar', as well as Hebrew 'Ben' (and Arabic 'Ibn') while literally meaning 'son' commonly also signify 'one of', 'one related to', 'one who is subject to'.

Mitzva, while in colloquial everyday Hebrew meaning 'good deed', is derived from the verb 'to command' - meaning, roughly, 'a commandment'.

Thus, Bar-Mitzva means 'one who is subject to the commandment', and is a name for the STATUS the boy becomes at his 13th birthday, ie. - he is now subject to most of the Hebrew religious law.

I think christian confirmation is something similar - but I'm not sure...

Чуть больше полугода студия на дерех Бейт-Лехем (начало Бака, совсем рядом с Эмек Рефаим)сдавалась за 400 долларов. Их там есть, я не одно объявление видела.
