Abstract:
This article examines the responses of three rabbis to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Israel and the distinctive approach and strategy expressed by each of them: (1) rational-scientific, (2) emotional support, (3) resistance and distrust. The first two rabbis maintain that they trust the medical institutions and the government, whereas the third rabbi evinces distrust, expressed through conspiracy theories. These different approaches can be explained by their dispositions prior to the pandemic, which were exacerbated by the Coronavirus. Hence, COVID-19 served as more of a reflecting phenomenon than an agent of change. Analyzing the dispositions of the three rabbis can show us how they are related to two significant forces of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries-science (rational-scientific and resistance and distrust) and psychology (emotional support). Psychological discourse has been used to promote public health. On the other hand, the scientific discourse has been used to promote adherence to government and health ministry directives, as well as to oppose those directives.
摘要:
本文研究了三名拉比对以色列冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行的反应,以及他们各自表达的独特方法和策略:(1)理性科学,(2)情感支持,(3)抵制和不信任。前两位拉比坚持认为他们信任医疗机构和政府,而第三位拉比表现出不信任,通过阴谋论来表达。这些不同的方法可以用它们在大流行之前的倾向来解释,冠状病毒加剧了这种情况。因此,COVID-19更像是一种反映现象,而不是变化的推动者。分析三个拉比的性格可以向我们展示它们如何与20世纪和21世纪的两种重要力量-科学(理性-科学,抵抗和不信任)和心理学(情感支持)相关。心理话语已被用于促进公共卫生。另一方面,科学话语已被用来促进遵守政府和卫生部的指示,以及反对这些指令。
