Pessah Shinar's life and work
Pessah Shinar was born on 6th February 1914 and he died on 24th March 2013. He was a researcher of Islamic culture and Arabic language and an Israeli composer. Until his death, he was professor emeritus at the Institute for Asian and African Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For more than forty years, Professor Pessah Shinar has been engaged in the study of Islam in the Maghrib.[2] Pessah Shinar's work is related to the Ibadism and he contributed a lot to the history of research on Ibāḍī studies.[3]
Also, Pessah Shinar wrote about the relationships between Ibāḍīs and Jews in his article Réflexions sur la symbiose judéo-ibāḍite en Afrique du Nord. This work is a kind of anthropological comparison between Jews and Ibāḍīs in Mīzāb. About this subject Pessah Shinar concludes that Mīzāb offers us an example of a rare coexistence of two ethnic-socio-cultural isolated groups of people, unequal in numbers and status, which have purely functional contacts. Living closely together, they present notable similarities, but also numerous and profound differences. The Ibāḍīs base their way of life on the Quran, the Tradition, and the Ibāḍī theology, jurisprudence and ethics, with a Berber-Zenati substrate; the Jews base theirs on the Talmudic and mystical biblical tradition, as well as on their ancient Mālikite, especially Moroccan, environment. Both groups, looking outwardly fossilised, have in them the germs of renewal, that orientate the Ibāḍīs towards an oriental renaissance, al- Nahḍa, and the reformism of the orthodox Salafiyya, while the other group, in their exodus, are directed towards Israel and France.[4]
