27:33- \u201cIsaac was seized with <\/span>charadah g\u2019dolah<\/span><\/em>, <\/span><\/i>very violent trembling. \u2018Who was it then,\u2019 he demanded, \u2018that hunted game and brought it to me? Moreover, I ate of it before you came, and I blessed him; now he must remain blessed!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In this chapter we read of Isaac\u2019s (alleged) violent emotional response to (apparently) being duped into thinking that he was blessing Esau. (As some of the essays today claim, a good case could be made that Isaac was in on the ruse, and did it to credibly give the blessing to Jacob, but that\u2019s another story…). The word translated here as \u201cviolent trembling\u201d is <\/span>charadah<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This term has two manifestations in modern Hebrew. One is as the specific translation of the psychological term <\/span>anxiety<\/span><\/em>. A person can have <\/span>charadot<\/span><\/em>, \u201cfears\u201d or \u201canxieties,\u201d or have a <\/span>hetkef charadah<\/span><\/em>, an \u201canxiety attack,\u201d or simply be <\/span>cherdati<\/span><\/em>, \u201canxious.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

However, this word may be more familiar to non-speakers of Hebrew as the term used to refer to the ultra-Orthodox, i.e., the Charedim (often written Haredim). The context here would make it an epithet similar to the Quakers in English, quaking or trembling with the fear of God. Most connect it specifically to the use of the word in later prophets, such as the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah 66:5 – \u201cHear the word of the LORD, You who are <\/span>charedim<\/span><\/em>, concerned about His word!\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>And – <\/span>
\n<\/span>Ezra 10:3 – \u201cNow then, let us make a covenant with our God\u2026in accordance with the bidding of the Lord and of all who are <\/span>charedim,<\/em> <\/span>concerned over the commandment of our God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the meaning of the term in our chapter – \u201cviolent trembling\u201d – the translation used in those verses – \u201cconcerned\u201d – is perhaps milder than it should be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using this term in contemporary Hebrew of course generates various forms. For instance \u201cto become Charedi – or more Charedi\u201d is <\/span>lehitchared<\/span><\/em>, using a form of the verb that indicates undergoing a process. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another use is a combination form that requires a short explanation. There used to be a clear division between the national religious, very Zionist, knitted <\/span>kipot <\/span><\/i>and modern dress, and the Charedim, with their non-Zionist stance (including refusing to serve in the army), and their particular dress (long black coats, <\/span>payot –\u00a0<\/span><\/em>sidelocks, and large black kipot). There is a growing \u201cthird sector\u201d that blurs those distinctions (serving in the army, big kippot, sidelocks, and several other distinguishing characteristics), and have been termed <\/span>Charedi le\u2019umi <\/span><\/em>– \u201c<\/span><\/i>national Charedi.\u201d Israelis love acronyms, and so they have been dubbed Chardal<\/em>, which also happens to mean \u201cmustard.\u201d Some <\/span>clever English copywriter dubbed them “Mustardox” \u2013 “more ultra-strict and rigidly orthodox” than their national religious compatriots.<\/span><\/p>\n
