TY - JOUR TI - „Starajcie się o dobre imię, o spokojność sumienia” – testament Tekli Kronenberg AU - Dybała-Pacholak, Anna TI - „Starajcie się o dobre imię, o spokojność sumienia” – testament Tekli Kronenberg AB - “STRIVE FOR A GOOD NAME AND PEACE OF CONSCIENCE”: THE TESTAMENT OF TEKLA KRONENBERG The main goal of publishing this source is to make available a document of the type that remains unexplored and unrecognized, especially within the field of Jewish studies. The nineteenth-century testament of Tekla Kronenberg deepens our knowledge about the Kronenberg family in general and its female members in particular. In notary deeds we find primarily male testaments. It is therefore relevant to publicize a female testament which may prove helpful in historical research on women. It is possible to examine this document from various perspectives, such as the value of charity, the attitude toward converts, the extent of social bonds (what things were left and to whom? were inheritors mainly male, or female?). In addition, an analysis of the means of expressing emotions regarding particular persons mentioned in the testament enables us to make a quality assessment of family bonds. As a result, it sheds new light on a Jewish family’s life.   VL - 2018 IS - Nr 2 (42) PY - 2019 SN - 1506-9729 C1 - 2450-0100 SP - 405 EP - 423 DO - 10.4467/24500100STJ.18.017.10268 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-judaica/artykul/starajcie-sie-o-dobre-imie-o-spokojnosc-sumienia-testament-tekli-kronenberg KW - testament KW - testament etyczny KW - egodokument KW - rodzina żydowska KW - cedaka / will KW - ethical will KW - egodocument KW - Jewish family KW - tsedakah
