Goyim
In modern Hebrew and Yiddish (, he, גוי, regular plural , or ) is a term for a gentile, a non-Jew. Through Yiddish, the word has been adopted into English (pluralised as goys or goyim) also to mean gentile, sometimes with a pejorative sense. As a word principally used by Jews to describe non-Jews, it is a term for the ethnic exogroup and is sometimes compared to similar terms in other cultures such as the Japanese ''Gaijin'' or Arabic ''Ajam''. The Biblical Hebrew word ''goy'' has been commonly translated into English as ''nation'', meaning a group of persons of the same ethnic family who speak the same language (rather than the modern meaning of a political unit). ''Nation'' has been used as the principal translation for ''goy'' in the Hebrew Bible, from the earliest English language bibles such as the 1611 King James Version and the 1530 Tyndale Bible.

Goyim Riders
Goyim riders are members of the Goyim Motorcycle Association (Hungarian: Gój Motoros Egyesület), an anti-Roma, anti-Gypsy and antisemitic Hungarian ultra-nationalist political movement. Etymology The name is rooted in the Biblical Hebrew word goy meaning "a people or "a nation." A term that shifted in Yiddish and modern Hebrew to refer to a non-Jew, sometimes pejoratively. A "a series of philological essays in the premier weekly of the Hungarian liberal literati, Élet és Irodalom (Life and Literature)" by "distinguished linguists," discussed the reversal in usage by the Goyim riders which turned the out-group definition into an in-group definition. History and membership The group was informally established by 2000, and organized as a non-profit civic association in 2006.Molnár, V.

Gentile
Gentile () is a word that usually means "someone who is not a Jew". Other groups that claim Israelite heritage, notably Mormons, sometimes use the term ''gentile'' to describe outsiders. More rarely, the term is generally used as a synonym for ''heathen'' or ''pagan''. In some translations of the Quran, ''gentile'' is used to translate an Arabic word that refers to non-Jews and/or people not versed in or not able to read scripture. The English word ''gentile'' derives from the Latin word , meaning "of or belonging to the same people or nation" (). Archaic and specialist uses of the word ''gentile'' in English (particularly in linguistics) still carry this meaning of "relating to a people or nation." The development of the word to principally mean "non-Jew" in English is entwined with the history of Bible translations from Hebrew and Greek into Latin and English. Its meaning has also been shaped by Rabbinical Jewish thought and Christian theology which, from the 1st century ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tidal (Bible King)
Tidal (), king of Goyim, possibly a Hittites, Hittite king, was a monarch mentioned in Book of Genesis, Genesis 14:1. Genesis describes Tidal as one of the four kings who fought Abraham in the Battle of Siddim. The word ''goyim'' in biblical Hebrew can be translated as "nations" or "peoples" or "ethnic groups" (in Modern Hebrew phonology, modern Hebrew it means "Gentiles"), although biblical scholars suggest that in this verse it may instead be a reference to the region of Gutium. Theories about the name * The name Tidal is considered equivalent to Tudhaliya, the name both of a Proto-Hittite king and a Hittites, Hittite king.

List Of Terms For Ethnic Exogroups
An ethnic exogroup is a group of people which does not belong to a particular ethnic group. Many cultures have terms referring to all outsiders, but in practice this often becomes narrowed to the largest outsider group. In particular, exogroup terms used by minorities in a particular country often become specific to the majority in that country rather than applying to other minorities as well. Exogroup terms are sometimes considered to be derogatory, depending on the word and the context and manner in which it is used. They may be distinguished from ethnic or religious slurs in that they do not necessarily designate a specific group, and instead target all who do not belong to a specific group. A ;Ajam :(Arabic; عجم) Literally: mumbler, a person who cannot speak proper Arabic. A traditional term for non-Arabs (literally as those who cannot speak, or cannot be understood), often specifically applied to Persians. Derogatory implications depend on context. ;Ajnabi :(Arabic; اجن ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
New American Standard Bible
The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the complete NASB was released in 1971. The NASB relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy." Translation philosophy The New American Standard Bible is considered by some sources as the most literally translated of major 20th-century English Bible translations. According to the NASB's preface, the translators had a "Fourfold Aim" in this work: # These publications shall be true to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. # They shall be grammatically correct. # They shall be understandable. # They shall give the Lord Jesus Christ His proper place, the place which the Word gives Him; therefore, no work will ever be personalized. ...

Antisemitism In Contemporary Hungary
Anti-Semitism in contemporary Hungary remains a controversial topic. Modern anti-Semitism has its roots in historical cultural beliefs and activities. Communist rule in the 1900s resulted in widespread anti-Semitic feelings, and Hungarian Jews experienced deportations during the Second World War. While anti-Semitism in Hungary manifested itself in a variety of ways, it became stronger after the country moved towards democracy in 1989. Surveys performed from 2009 and beyond have consistently found high levels of anti-Semitic feelings amongst the general population. History The Tiszaeszlár affair was an 1882–1883 murder case which has been described as a blood libel. Antisemitism increased significantly during the early-20th-century Red Terror, a period of communist rule. The Hungarian Soviet Republic was led by Béla Kun, a man of Jewish heritage. During the White Terror, a roughly two-year period after the short-lived Soviet Republic, counter-revolutionary soldiers used vio ...

Jews For Racial And Economic Justice
Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) is an American left-wing non-profit grassroots Jewish organization. JFREJ describes itself as a "movement to dismantle racism and economic exploitation" and is based in New York City. It operates both a 501(c)(3), also known as JFREJ Community and a 501(c)(4) known as JFREJ Action. History JFREJ was founded in New York City in 1990. Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz served as the organization's first director. The creation of JFREJ was inspired by Nelson Mandela's 1990 visit to New York City, during which many local Jewish groups and leaders, including the American Jewish Congress and the Anti-Defamation League, snubbed Mandela due to his support for the Palestinian cause. JFREJ's first event, held on 15 June 1990, honored Nelson Mandela and raised $50,000 for the anti-apartheid cause. During the Trump administration, JFREJ was active in the movement to Abolish ICE.

Trinity
The Christian doctrine of the Trinity (, from 'threefold') is the central dogma concerning the nature of God in most Christian churches, which defines one God existing in three coequal, coeternal, consubstantial divine persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons sharing one ''homoousion'' (essence) "each is God, complete and whole." As the Fourth Lateran Council declared, it is the Father who begets, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds. In this context, the three persons define God is, while the one essence defines God is. This expresses at once their distinction and their indissoluble unity. Thus, the entire process of creation and grace is viewed as a single shared action of the three divine persons, in which each person manifests the attributes unique to them in the Trinity, thereby proving that everything comes "from the Father," "through the Son," and "in the Holy Spirit." This doctrine ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
