Abstract

This article introduces an unknown autobiography written by Aryeh Leib Feinstein who was a communal official in Brisk (Brześć Litewski). In this detailed memoir, written in 1896 and preserved in manuscript form only, Feinstein describes his life from his childhood in a small village near Brisk up to his adulthood, when he became a wealthy merchant in Brisk and a well-known historian of the local community. This unique egodocument is a subjective interpretation of the profound transformations of Eastern European Jewish culture during the second half of the 19th century. It enables us a better understanding of the complex relationship between the personal and the public spheres during this era and illustrates the need of broadening the setting of the self-fashioning of Jewish individuals.

一个公共领袖的私生活:阿里耶·莱布·范斯坦自传(1821-1903)

本文介绍了在Brisk (Brześć Litewski)担任公社官员的Aryeh Leib Feinstein撰写的一本不知名的自传。在这本写于1896年的详细回忆录中，范斯坦描述了他的生活，从他在布莱斯克附近的一个小村庄的童年，到他成年后成为布莱斯克富有的商人和当地社区知名的历史学家。这个独特的自我文件是对19世纪下半叶东欧犹太文化深刻转变的主观解释。它使我们能够更好地理解这个时代个人领域和公共领域之间的复杂关系，并说明需要扩大犹太人个人自我塑造的背景。

期刊介绍： Zutot: Perspectives on Jewish Culture aims to fill a gap that has become more and more conspicuous among the wealth of scholarly periodicals in the field of Jewish Studies. Whereas existing journals provide space to medium and large sized articles, they neglect the small but poignant contributions, which may be as important as the extended, detailed study. The Zutot serves as a platform for small but incisive contributions, and provides them with a distinct context. The substance of these contributions is derived from larger perspectives and, though not always presented in an exhaustive way, will have an impact on contemporary discussions. The Zutot covers Jewish culture in its broadest sense, i.e. encompassing various academic disciplines—literature, languages and linguistics, philosophy, art, sociology, politics and history—and reflects binary oppositions such as religious and secular, high and low, written and oral, male and female culture.
