It comprises the text that has changed its tone over generations. Having become more peaceful and perhaps accepting, Aleinu has kept its power to bind Jewish people together as a reminder to praise God collectively. Co-existence of both particularistic and universalistic themes in such a short piece of liturgy is quite a powerful thing. While preserving the very kernel of Jewish theology (oneness of God and His connection with Jewish people) the text of Aleinu goes further and suggests a very brave idea which signifies an ability of all to understand universal ethics. The historic association of Aleinu with stoicism of Jewish people in the face of tragedy creates an additional dimension for understanding of the meaning of the prayer as a source of hope and comfort. When S. Sulzer created his light melody the most communities know today, he realized the re-assuring spiritual potential of Aleinu.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Алейну — жанровая разновидность молитвы, обладающая специфическими качествами. Это текст, который менялся на протяжении поколений. Модус миролюбия и приятия соовтветствует ее основной задаче — быть коллективным воззванием народа к Богу. Сосуществование как партикуляристских, так и универсалистских тем в таком коротком фрагменте литургии — весьма сильная вещь. Сохраняя само ядро еврейского богословия (единство Бога и Его связь с еврейским народом), текст Алейну идет дальше и предлагает очень смелую идею, означающую способность понимать универсальную этику. Историческая ассоциация Алейну со стоицизмом еврейского народа перед лицом трагедии создает дополнительное измерение для понимания смысла молитвы как источника надежды и утешения. Когда С. Зульцер создал свою светлую мелодию, известную сегодня большинству общин, он осознал обнадеживающий духовный потенциал Алейну.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>the traditional Jewish liturgical music, the Hebrew Bible (Tanach), the Plato’s Tripartite division of the soul, Neshamahm–Nefesh–Ruah, the life-affirming vs. mourning dichotomy, the Mourner’s Kaddish memorial prayer, the Aleinu leshabei’ach prayer</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>традиционная еврейская литургическая музыка, Еврейская Библия (Танах), платоновское тройственное разделение души, Нешамахм—Нефеш—Руах, дихотомия «жизнеутверждающее — плачущее», поминальная молитва Скорбящего Кадиш, Алейну</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bauks, Michaela. 2016. ‘Soul-Concepts’ in Ancient Near Eastern Mythical Texts and Their Implications for the Primeval History, “Vetus Testamentum”, no 66.
