This Day…

February 25, 138: The Emperor Hadrian adopts Antoninus Pius, effectively making him his successor. For Jews Hadrian stands out as one of the cruelest of the Roman emperors. He is the one who defeated Bar Kochba. It is said that Hadrain was more evil than Titus because he did not just make war against the Jewish people. He made war against Judaism by banning its practice. In one of those many ironic twists of fates, Antionious Pious, his hand-picked successor reversed the decrees of Hadrain. He allowed the Torah to be studied and is laws obeyed. He reinstituted the ban on imperial statues in synagogues and he allowed the Jews to practice the rite of circumcision.[1]

By 150 A.D., intellectually astute Christian leaders such as Justin Martyr, living in Rome, had championed the ideas of Paul and had begun to develop a systematic theological system built around his basic ideas.[2]

150 A.D.

The provision that the text, after being read in Hebrew, should be interpreted to the people, may quite well reach back into the time of Jesus. The first evidence for the practice is in the Mishna, about 150 A.D.[3]

200 C.E.

The Rabbinic corpus in the Land of Israel and the east remained oral for a considerable period of time, hence the designation, even today, of this corpus as the Oral Law despite the fact that it is written down. The Mishnah, the earliest rabbinic corpus, was not redacted and published until about 200 E.E. but written down only much later.[4]



The Ark of the Covenant had been lost for more than a millennium when this third-century carving was made. But the essential idea of the covenant has never been lost: a mutually binding relationship between God and humankind.[5]



The priesthood of Aaron, the Ark of the Covenant, and sacrificial animals are depited in this Dura-Europos fresco dating from the third century C.E. By this time, however, synagogue worship had irrevocably supplanted the sacrificial cult.[6]

220 A.D.

It is generally believed that Christianity was introduced into Britain before the end of the second century. Tertullian in about A.D. 220 speaks of places in Britain not reached by the Romans, but yet subject to Christ.[7]

Second and Third Century A.D.

By the second and third centuries, Christianity was beginning to attract sizable numbers of converts from what some viewed as a sclerotic Judaism, riddled with cults and compromised by a divided rabbinical leadership. [8]

February 25, 1308: Coronation of King Edward II. One of this uniquely incompetent monarch’s claim to fame is that he was the first King of England to reign over a realm without any Jews since the Norman conquest in 1066. Edward’s father, Edward I, had expelled the Jews in 1290.[10]

1309

Shortly after the death of Boniface, the French Pope Clement V transferred the papal court from Rome to Avignon in France in 1309, where it remained for seventy years. Known as the “Babylonian Captivity,” a metaphorical reference to the seventy-year Babylonian Captivity of the Jews, it was a time when the papacy continued its slide into spiritual and moral bankruptcy.[11]

February 25, 1336: Alfonso X of Castile was persuaded by the apostate Alfonso of Valladolid to ban the prayer Aleinu. Alfonso alleged that the prayer was anti-Christian. As a result, many Jewish communities excised a sentence from the prayer which has only been printed in recent years in only some prayer books. The offending line which was taken out comes just before the time when everybody bows and recites “Va-ananchnu Kor’im – But we bend our knees…” The line that was taken out reads “For they bow to vanity and emptiness and pray to a god which helps not.” If you read the entire prayer and insert this line, the following line makes a lot more sense. According to several commentators the offending line had nothing to do with the Christians but had been placed there to refer to all heretics and that its origins were found in Isaiah (30:7 and 45:20). Further evidence refuting the claim that it was anti-Christian can be found in the fact that it was composed in the third century by Rav Abba Arucha head of the Academy of Sura (Persia) which was not a Christian country. Ashkenazi prayer books dropped the line but Sephardic prayer books i.e. those in the land of Islam, retained the line. Today it can be found in some Ashkenazi prayer books including those in the Artscroll Series.[12]



February 25, 1451: The Pope banned all social contact between Jews and Christians. This was because of the fear of Christians being attracted to Judaism. A Christian who converted to Judaism and the Jews who helped him were usually subject to the death penalty in most Catholic and Eastern Orthodox countries. It is amazing that with the Church's attitude towards Judaism, and with the contempt that Jews in which Jews were held, that there should be such a fear of "Jewish missionizing".[13]

1452-1453

A major eruption that might have affected global climate was in 1452-1453 when records were much less complete.[14]

1453 Jews expelled from Breslau and Franconis.[15]

February 25, 1570: Pope Pious V excommunicated Queen Elizabeth I. This was one of the steps on the road to loosening the stranglehold that doctrinal Christianity had on Western Europe. As the Church’s grip on Europe weakened it opened up the way to a religious toleration that was highly beneficial to the Jewish people.[16]

1571 Jews expelled from Brandenburg.[17]

1571

The Convocation of Canterbury in 1571 instructed churchwardens to place copies of the Bishops’ Bible in their churches.[18]

February 25, 1593: Pope Clement VIII confirms the Papal bull of Paul III that expels Jews from Papal states except ghettos in Rome and Ancona and issues Caeca et obdurata (“Blind Obstinacy”): “All the world suffers from the usury of the Jews, their monopolies and deceit. …Then as now Jews have to be reminded intermittently anew that they were enjoying rights in any country since they left Palestine and the Arabian desert, and subsequently their ethical and moral doctrines as well as their deeds rightly deserve tp be exposed to criticism in whatever country they happen to live.” [2] [19]



1593 Jews expelled from Brandenburg, Austria.[1] [20]



February 25, 1606

February 25, 1606, the said Lauchlane (McKinnon) appears before the Privy Council and obliges himself to appear personally before them whenever he shall be charged, upon sixty days' warning, under the penalty of 1O,OOO merks. [21]



February 25, 1774: George Washington Journal: At home all day. Mr. Fairfax & Doctr. Craik went away after Breakfast. Hancock Lee[22] came to Dinr. & went away after it. [23]

In 1805 Joseph Vance (Joseph Coleville Vance is the Compilers 1st Cousin, 8 times removed.) moved to Urbana with his father, who laid out the town that year, and two years later married Miss Mary Lemen of Urbana. After his fathers death in 1809 he took possession of the family farm, which became his home for the rest of his life. [34]



Champaign County was formed March 1, 1805, from Green and Franklin. It is drained by Mad River and its tributaires, which furnishes extensive mill privileges. Nearly a half is undulating, a quarter rolling, a fifth hilly, and 5 per cent wet prairie. The soil is fertile, and produces wheat, corn, oats, barley, hay, while beef and wool add to the general wealth. Urbana, the county seat, was laid out in 1805 by Col. William Ward. He was chief owner of the land and donated many lots to the county, under condition that their proceeds be devoted to public improvements. Joseph Vance[35] and George Fithian were the first settlers. [36] By the third section of the act which fixed the limits of the county, the house of George Fithian, in Springfield, was made the temporary seat of justice, at which place the first term of the Court of Common Pleas was helde. The officers of the court were Francis Dunlevfy, President Judge; John Reynolds, Samuel McCullough and John Runyon, Associate Judges; Arthur St. Clair, Prosecuting Attorney; John Doughterty, Sheriff, ; Joseph C. Vance, Clerk. The first grand jury was composed of Joseph Layton,k Adam McPherson, Jonathan Daniels, John Humphreys, John Reed, Daniel McKinnon, Thomas Davis, William Powell, Justis Jones, Christopher Wood, Caleb Carter, William Chapman, John Clark, John Lafferty, Robert Rennick. Among the first petit jurors were Paul Huston, Charles Rector, Jacob Minturn, James Reed, James Bishop and Abel Crawford.[37]

W. H. Goodlove of Pleasant Valley was in Central City, Saturday, on business and while here made a call at the News-Letter office. [41]



February 25, 1923: The price of bread rose to 2,000 marks in Berlin. This hyper-inflation wiped people’s life savings and destroyed the basic faith of the middle class in many of the existing political and social institutions. It laid the groundwork for the rise of political extremism that would make the Communists and the Nazis the dominate political forces in the 1930’s.[42]



February 25, 1932: Immigrant Adolf Hitler officially became a German citizen. Hitler was born in Austria. His Germanic connection was ethnic rather than political. His formal connection with the government of Germany began when he joined the Kaiser’s army in 1914.[43]



February 25, 1941: A general anti-Nazi strike is held in Amsterdam.[44]



February 25, 2004: The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson’s film about the last 44 hours of Jesus of Nazareth’s life, opens in theaters across the United States on this day in 2004. Not coincidentally, the day was Ash Wednesday, the start of the Catholic season of Lent.

The star of action-packed blockbusters like the Lethal Weapon series and Braveheart, Gibson was earning more than $20 million per movie at the time he decided to direct The Passion of the Christ, for which he received no cash compensation. Largely based on the 18th-century diaries of Saint Anne Catherine Emmerich, the film was a true labor of love for Gibson, who later told Time magazine that he had “a deep need to tell this story…The Gospels tell you what basically happened; I want to know what really went down.” He scouted locations in Italy himself, and had the script translated from English into Aramaic (thought to be Jesus’ first language) and Latin by a Jesuit scholar. Gibson’s original intention was to show The Passion of the Christ without subtitles, in an attempt to “transcend the language barriers with visual storytelling,” as he later explained. With dialogue entirely in Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic, the film was eventually released with subtitles.

A year before The Passion of the Christ was released, controversy flared over whether it was anti-Semitic. Abraham Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) went on record saying that Gibson’s film “could fuel hatred, bigotry and anti-Semitism.” Specifically, its opponents claimed the movie would contribute to the idea that Jews should be blamed for the death of Jesus, which has been at the root of much anti-Jewish violence over the course of history. For his part, Gibson categorically denied the allegations of anti-Semitism, but they continued to haunt him years after the film’s release. (In July 2006, he was arrested for driving under the influence; a leaked police report of the incident stated that Gibson made anti-Semitic remarks to the arresting officer. Gibson later acknowledged the report’s accuracy, and publicly apologized for the remarks.) Meanwhile, Christian critics of the film’s story pointed to its departure from the New Testament and its reliance on works other than the Bible, such as Emmerich’s diaries.

Gibson, who put millions of his own money into the project, initially had trouble finding a distributor for the film. Eventually, Newmarket Films signed on to release it in the United States. Upon its debut in February 2004, The Passion of the Christ surprised many by becoming a huge hit at the box office. It also continued to fuel the fires of controversy, earning harsh criticism for its extreme violence and gore--much of the film focuses on the brutal beating of Jesus prior to his crucifixion--which many saw as overkill. The film critic Roger Ebert called The Passion of the Christ “the most violent film I have ever seen.” Gibson’s response to similar charges was that such a reaction was intentional. In an interview with Diane Sawyer, he claimed: “I wanted it to be shocking. And I wanted it to be extreme.... So that they see the enormity, the enormity of that sacrifice; to see that someone could endure that and still come back with love and forgiveness, even through extreme pain and suffering and ridicule.”[45]
