Abstract

This article explores how Jews in Finland relate to the musical traditions of their synagogues and the changes that have occurred in the customs over time and as the result of various cultural and spiritual influences. Based on ethnographic data, it focuses on rituals, liturgy, and music as contexts for negotiating relationships between the institution and the individual, memory practices, and contemporary innovation – being and doing Jewish, to use concepts from the vernacular religion framework. The article outlines the historical development of Minhag Finland, the vernacular liturgical customs. It concludes that the “turn to traditions” should be stated in the plural, as several Jewish customs, cultures, and context are engaged in the negotiations around liturgy. This is not just a way to freeze time and preserve the status quo. Instead, seeking for meaningful models in the past paves the way for change – especially when turning toward a broad range of traditions.

转向传统-呼吁改变:芬兰犹太教堂礼拜仪式的谈判
本文探讨了芬兰的犹太人如何与他们犹太教堂的音乐传统以及随着时间的推移以及各种文化和精神影响而发生的习俗变化联系在一起。基于人种学数据,它将仪式、礼拜仪式和音乐作为协商机构与个人之间关系的背景,记忆实践和当代创新——作为犹太人和做犹太人,使用当地宗教框架中的概念。本文概述了芬兰民哈格的历史发展、当地的礼仪习俗。它的结论是,“转向传统”应该用复数形式表述,因为在围绕礼拜仪式的谈判中,有几种犹太习俗、文化和背景。这不仅仅是一种冻结时间和维持现状的方式。相反,在过去寻找有意义的模式为变革铺平了道路——尤其是在转向广泛的传统时。

期刊介绍: Numen publishes papers representing the most recent scholarship in all areas of the history of religions. It covers a diversity of geographical regions and religions of the past as well as of the present. The approach of the journal to the study of religion is strictly non-confessional. While the emphasis lies on empirical, source-based research, typical contributions also address issues that have a wider historical or comparative significance for the advancement of the discipline. Numen also publishes papers that discuss important theoretical innovations in the study of religion and reflective studies on the history of the discipline.
