"As government by the people, democracy has always had its proponents as well as opponents. What forms of government have Jewish leaders, both with and without actual political power, favored? Not surprisingly, many options have been offered theoretically and in practice. Perhaps more surprisingly, democracy has been at the heart of most systems of governance. Biblical Israel was largely a monarchy, but many writers of the Bible were critical of the excesses that almost always arise when human kings take charge: the general populace loses its freedom. In rabbinic Judaism, the majority ruled, and many principles that support modern democratic institutions have their basis in interpretations offered by the classical rabbis. This is true even though rabbinic Jews did not govern democratically. When Jews did have some degree of self-governance, democratic principles and institutions were often upheld. At the same time, so most communal leaders insisted, God--the ultimate judge--ultimately judges everything and everyone. Modern Israel provides the first instance of an independent Jewish nation since the Hasmonean monarchy of the second and first centuries BCE. On an almost daily basis, common features uniting democracy and Judaism, as well as flash point of



controversy, are highlighted there. The fourteen scholars whose work is collected here are mindful of all of these circumstances--and many more. In a style that is accessible, clear, and balanced, they allow readers to assess these issues based on the most current thinking. This volume is required reading for anyone interested in how religion and politics have interacted, and continue to interact, in Judaism and among Jews"--

Sommario/riassunto

Morgenkreise eröffnen in vielen Grundschulklassen den gemeinsamen Schultag. Sie bilden Praxisformen der Verwirklichung der pädagogischen Absicht, Schülerinnen und Schüler den täglichen Start in die Schule zu erleichtern sowie soziales Lernen und Schülerpartizipation zu fördern. Die vorliegende Fallanalyse ermöglicht anschauliche Einblicke in die Praxis des Morgenkreises und die damit verbundenen Handlungsmöglichkeiten und Handlungsprobleme für Grundschulkinder und Lehrkräfte.

Insgesamt besteht der besondere Reiz der vorliegenden Veröffentlichung darin, dass der Morgenkreis als eigenständige



Sozialform herausgearbeitet wird. Dies mag zunächst überraschen, doch Heinzel legt die spezifische Funktion des Morgenkreises dar. Erziehungswissenschaftliche Revue (EWR) 1/2016 Die Fallstudien ermöglichen anschauliche Einblicke in die Praxis des Morgenkreises und die damit verbundenen Handlungsmöglichkeiten. edugroup.at, 05/2016
