乔姆斯基家族（科皮尔、格罗德诺地区）
乔姆斯基家族 阿夫拉姆·诺姆·乔姆斯基 (Avram Noam Chomsky) 于 1928 年 12 月 7 日出生于宾夕法尼亚州费城，父亲是威廉 (Zev) Chomsky 博士和 Elsie Simonofsky。乔姆斯基博士于 1913 年从他的祖国俄罗斯逃往美国，以避免被征召入伍。抵达后，他在马里兰州巴尔的摩的血汗工厂工作。然后，他通过在巴尔的摩希伯来语小学任教，设法通过约翰霍普金斯大学的工作来养活自己。搬到费城后，他和妻子开始在 Mikveh Israel 教会的宗教学校任教。最终，乔姆斯基博士成为这所学校的校长 乔姆斯基博士继续在中世纪希伯来语领域进行研究”，并继续成为，根据 1977 年 7 月 22 日的一份报告
纽约时报讣告，“世界上最重要的希伯来文语法学家之一。” 他是一项开创性研究的作者，名为希伯来语，永恒的语言（1957 年），以及许多其他作品，包括希伯来语，一种活生生的语言的故事（1947 年；这是永恒的语言希伯来语的基础），如何教小学希伯来语（1946 年）和教学（1959 年）。他还编辑并注释了一项名为David Kimhi 的希伯来文语法 (Mikhlol)的 13 世纪希伯来文语法研究（1952 年），他的儿子诺姆在他大约 12 岁时以早期形式阅读的一本书。这种充满学术评论和讨论的文本，即使在今天，仍然是乔姆斯基非常喜欢的东西：“我认为理想的文本仍然是塔木德，”他说。“我喜欢平行文本的想法，带有冗长的、散漫的脚注和边缘评论，文本评论在 Mikveh Israel，与格拉茨学院相关的学生和教授练习了他们的教学技能。1924 年，已经在 Mikveh Israel 任教并担任校长，乔姆斯基博士还被任命为美国最古老的师范学院格拉茨学院的教员。八年后，他被任命为格拉茨学院的院长，他担任该职位长达三十七年。从 1955 年开始，博士. 乔姆斯基也开始在 Dropsie College 任教，这是一所犹太和闪米特研究的研究生院。他于 1969 年从 Gratz 退休，1977 年从 Dropsie 退休，那年他去世了。
文本”（qtd. in Parini）。
回想起来，乔姆斯基的父亲对他的影响似乎显而易见。卡洛斯·奥特罗 (Carlos Otero) 指出，“在他去世前不久，威廉·乔姆斯基 (William Chomsky) 将他一生的主要目标描述为‘对个人进行教育，使他们能够很好地整合、自由和独立地思考，关心改善和改善世界，并渴望参与创造对所有人来说，生活更有意义、更有价值。作为对诺姆乔姆斯基个人的描述，很难对此进行改进”（“乔姆斯基和自由主义者的传统”5）。此外，威廉·乔姆斯基被家人的朋友描述为一个非常热情、温柔和迷人的人。在 30 年代担任他秘书五年的 Bea Tucker 回忆说，他是一个热情的人，对学生和教职员工体贴和慷慨。20 世纪 30 年代中期，当 Mikveh Israel 的教学职位空缺时，塔克问乔姆斯基博士她是否可以申请，希望这将是她开始新职业的机会。他雇用了她，她继续教诺姆的弟弟和唯一的兄弟大卫伊莱乔姆斯基，以及最终成为诺姆妻子的卡罗尔沙茨。
乔姆斯基的母亲埃尔西对他作为思想家、教师和活动家的发展同样重要。她的政治敏感度促使他从很小的时候就开始远远超出他的直接社会背景，进入政治行动和参与的领域。她还在 Mikveh Israel 教授希伯来语，所以当她儿子准备好自己从事教师职业时，对他来说，这已经成为一个非常熟悉的领域。根据奥特罗的说法，“他父亲对他的影响比他母亲的影响更容易追踪，她的母亲本姓埃尔西西蒙诺夫斯基比她的丈夫更左倾，似乎在一般领域给她的儿子留下了印象对社会问题和政治的关注，`[乔姆斯基] 知识分子生活的一个主要部分'”（“ 正如奥特罗继续告诉我们的那样，乔姆斯基简单地报告说：“在童年时期，[我们]家里总是有很多关于真正有趣和重要问题的讨论”（16n10）。在这些问题中，有一种当时被认为是主流的犹太复国主义形式，它受到了西欧启蒙运动的启发。奥特罗说，乔姆斯基一家尤其受到阿舍尔金斯伯格（Asher Ginsburg，1856 年至 1927 年）的影响，他是一位希伯来文体学家和作家，是这个犹太复国主义运动倡导者的代言人，他的笔名是 Ahad Haam，“人民中的一员。 “ 今天，许多人认为金斯伯格的犹太复国主义是反犹太复国主义的。正如奥特罗继续告诉我们的那样，乔姆斯基简单地报告说：“在童年时期，[我们]家里总是有很多关于真正有趣和重要问题的讨论”（16n10）。在这些问题中，有一种当时被认为是主流的犹太复国主义形式，它受到了西欧启蒙运动的启发。奥特罗说，乔姆斯基一家尤其受到阿舍尔金斯伯格（Asher Ginsburg，1856 年至 1927 年）的影响，他是一位希伯来文体学家和作家，是这个犹太复国主义运动倡导者的代言人，他的笔名是 Ahad Haam，“人民中的一员。 “ 今天，许多人认为金斯伯格的犹太复国主义是反犹太复国主义的。在这些问题中，有一种当时被认为是主流的犹太复国主义形式，它受到了西欧启蒙运动的启发。奥特罗说，乔姆斯基一家尤其受到阿舍尔金斯伯格（Asher Ginsburg，1856 年至 1927 年）的影响，他是一位希伯来文体学家和作家，是这个犹太复国主义运动倡导者的代言人，他的笔名是 Ahad Haam，“人民中的一员。 “ 今天，许多人认为金斯伯格的犹太复国主义是反犹太复国主义的。在这些问题中，有一种当时被认为是主流的犹太复国主义形式，它受到了西欧启蒙运动的启发。奥特罗说，乔姆斯基一家尤其受到阿舍尔金斯伯格（Asher Ginsburg，1856 年至 1927 年）的影响，他是一位希伯来文体学家和作家，是这个犹太复国主义运动倡导者的代言人，他的笔名是 Ahad Haam，“人民中的一员。 “ 今天，许多人认为金斯伯格的犹太复国主义是反犹太复国主义的。
埃尔西被描述为比威廉更加保守。Bea Tucker 将她描述为“酷”、“疏远”和“难以置信的聪明”。她和她的丈夫一样，拥有超凡的才智，作为学术和公共话题的演讲者非常受欢迎。塔克等人非常了解乔姆斯基家族，认为每个成员都有天赋，从很早的时候起，人们就普遍期望诺姆和大卫能追随他们父母的辉煌脚步。事后看来，诺姆乔姆斯基确实似乎结合了他父母双方的品质。尽管他的身材令人生畏，但他很热情，也很容易接近。他也很内向，安静，甚至有些害羞。他当然很乐意与大量听众交谈，但毫无疑问，他的世界是，
从很小的时候起，诺姆和大卫就通过父母双方的工作沉浸在犹太教和希伯来语的学术、文化和传统中。大卫也是一个杰出的孩子，也积极参与家庭讨论。当然，Noam 和 David 经常在一起。他们喜欢“用我们发现的某种橡皮球和一个底部被敲掉的临时蒲式耳篮子打篮球（某种），我设法把它钉在车道旁边的房子墙上”（1995 年 11 月 16 日）。
小时候认识大卫和诺姆的人都认为，虽然两人关系亲密，但大卫确实比他的哥哥低调一些，而且性格也比较轻松。诺姆还是个孩子的时候就很有竞争力，据比·塔克说，他试图“超越父母”。她回忆起 1935 年她去拜访乔姆斯基一家度假时发生的一件事。当时诺姆只有 7 岁。当威廉和埃尔西离开房间时，塔克发现只有她自己和他在一起。为了进行交谈，她指着康普顿的百科全书问诺姆是否看过其中的任何一卷。“我只读了一半，”诺姆回答道。简而言之，用比塔克的话来说，诺姆是“大脑”，而大卫是“好人”。大卫有他父亲随和的性格，而诺姆则像他母亲一样冷漠。大卫继续学习医学，现在仍然在费城生活和工作。
非凡的家庭生活给诺姆和大卫留下了深刻的烙印。整个乔姆斯基家族都积极参与犹太文化活动和犹太问题，尤其是希伯来语和犹太复国主义的复兴。乔姆斯基告诉采访者埃莉诺·瓦赫特尔，“我会和我父亲一起阅读希伯来文学，从 19 世纪和 20 世纪的童年希伯来文学，当然还有更古老的资料。我在希伯来语学校度过了我的时光，后来成为了一名希伯来语老师，并且出于所有这些我的政治兴趣汇聚成对犹太复国主义的兴趣”（65）。Carol Doris Schatz 回忆说，在希伯来学派中，Noam 会带头参与讨论。卡罗尔和诺姆关系密切，并最终结婚。他们一直在一起直到今天。Bea Tucker 记得 Carol Schatz 是一个非常聪明和热情的女孩。颂歌' 她的父亲是一名医生，她的家人和乔姆斯基一家一样，在社区中享有很高的声誉。乔姆斯基说他“遇见”卡罗尔的时候我大约五岁，她大约三岁，当时我的父母去费城附近的避暑别墅探望她的父母。之后可能偶尔会这样。我怀疑我们是否说过严肃的话，直到她大约十四岁。她的姐姐是我在希伯来语学校的同学，她的哥哥是犹太教堂合唱团的领队，以这种身份，教那里的孩子们唱他们的成年礼部分（我也是)”（1996 年 2 月 13 日）。当我的父母去费城附近的避暑别墅看望她的父母时。以后大概偶尔会吧。我怀疑在她十四岁左右之前我们是否说过严肃的话。她的姐姐是我在希伯来语学校的同学，她的哥哥是犹太教堂合唱团的领队，并以这种身份教那里的孩子们唱他们的成年礼部分（我也是）”（2 月 13 日）。 1996). 当我的父母去费城附近的避暑别墅看望她的父母时。以后大概偶尔会吧。我怀疑在她十四岁左右之前我们是否说过严肃的话。她的姐姐是我在希伯来语学校的同学，她的哥哥是犹太教堂合唱团的领队，并以这种身份教那里的孩子们唱他们的成年礼部分（我也是）”（2 月 13 日）。 1996).
毫无疑问，“作为一个 9 岁的男孩，1938 年，[Noam] 曾经坐在 Mikveh Israel 的希伯来语班级的前排......成为他的母亲]。他并不是无礼；他碰巧很久以前就在家里和他的父母一起覆盖地面”（奥特罗，“第三解放阶段” 22）。他的一位希伯来语老师伊扎克·桑科夫斯基 (Itzhak Sankowsky) 说，“从他的家庭背景来看，他应该比其他任何人都更了解希伯来语。从表面上看，你看不出那里有什么不寻常的地方。你必须通过辩论来证明这一点或一点知识。然后你就知道了”（qtd. in Yergin 41）。
大家庭
在政治上，诺姆的父母是“正常的罗斯福民主党人”，尽管下一级家庭表兄弟、阿姨和叔叔的许多成员都是犹太工人阶级的一部分，与各种共产主义有联系。乔姆斯基评论说，“有几个人是女裁缝，但那是建立工会的日子。他们在 ILGWU，后来终于让人们离开血汗工厂（当他们有工作时，也就是说，他们通常失业）。其他人参与其中从普通劳动 [r] 到小商业再到学校教学（对于那些设法自己完成学业的人）的一切”（1996 年 2 月 13 日）。许多人参与了大萧条时期蓬勃发展的激进政治运动。乔姆斯基解释说：“有些人是共产党员，
乔姆斯基的另一个特点是那个时期的社会经济状况。大萧条时期，他在贵格会费城长大成人。他告诉 Wachtel，他的童年记忆包括“看到人们来到门口并试图卖破布或苹果”，以及“乘坐有轨电车经过一家妇女罢工的纺织厂，看着防暴警察殴打罢工者” (64)。乔姆斯基一家居住的街区主要居住着德国人和爱尔兰天主教徒，他们大部分是反犹太主义者和亲纳粹分子。并非所有在这种环境下长大的孩子都具备社会良知，但可以说，在移民社区中沉浸在异域文化传统中的乔姆斯基，

The Chomsky family ( of Kopil, Grodno area)
The Chomsky Household
Avram Noam Chomsky was born 7 December 1928 to Dr. William (Zev) Chomsky and Elsie Simonofsky, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Chomsky had fled from his native Russia to the United States in 1913 in order to avoid being drafted into the Czarist army. Upon arrival, he worked in sweatshops in Baltimore, Maryland. He then managed to work his way through the Johns Hopkins University supporting himself by teaching in Baltimore Hebrew elementary schools. After moving to Philadelphia, he and his wife began teaching at the religious school of the Mikveh Israel congregation. Eventually, Dr. Chomsky was to become principal of this school
Dr. Chomsky continued to pursue his research in the field of medieval Hebrew language" and went on to become, according to a 22 July 1977 New York Times obituary, "one of the world's foremost Hebrew grammarians." He was the author of a seminal study called Hebrew, the Eternal Language (1957), as well as numerous other works, including Hebrew, the Story of a Living Language (1947; which was the basis of Hebrew, the Eternal Language), How to Teach Hebrew in the Elementary Grades (1946), and Teaching and Learning (1959). He also edited and annotated a study of thirteenth-century Hebrew grammar called David Kimhi's Hebrew Grammar (Mikhlol) (1952), a book that his son Noam read in an early form when he was about twelve years old. This kind of text, permeated with scholarly commentary and discussion, remains, even today, something that Chomsky enjoys enormously: "My idea of the ideal text is still the Talmud," he says. "I love the idea of parallel texts, with long, discursive footnotes and marginal commentary, texts commenting on At Mikveh Israel, students and professors associated with Gratz College practiced their teaching skills. In 1924, already teaching and acting as principal of Mikveh Israel, Dr. Chomsky was also appointed to the faculty of Gratz College, the oldest teacher's training college in the United States. Eight years later, he was made faculty president of Gratz, a position that he held for thirty seven years. Beginning in 1955, Dr. Chomsky began to teach, as well, at Dropsie College, a graduate school of Jewish and Semitic studies. He retired from Gratz in 1969, and from Dropsie in 1977, the year of his death.
texts" (qtd. in Parini).
The impact that Chomsky's father had upon him seems clear in retrospect. Carlos Otero notes that "shortly before his death William Chomsky described the major objective of his life as `the education of individuals who are well integrated, free and independent in their thinking, concerned about improving and enhancing the world, and eager to participate in making life more meaningful and worthwhile for all.' It is hard to improve on this as a description of Noam Chomsky as an individual" ("Chomsky and the Libertarian Tradition" 5). William Chomsky was, furthermore, described by friends of the family as a very warm, gentle, and engaging individual. Bea Tucker, who worked as his secretary for a period of five years in the 1930s, recalls that he was a warm individual, considerate and generous with students and staff. When a teaching position opened up at Mikveh Israel in the mid-1930s, Tucker asked Dr. Chomsky if she could apply, hoping that this would be her opportunity to embark on a new career. He hired her, and she went on to teach David Eli Chomsky, Noam's younger brother and only sibling, as well as Carol Schatz, who would eventually become Noam's wife.
Chomsky's mother, Elsie, was equally important to his development as a thinker, a teacher, and an activist. Her political sensitivity motivated him, from a very young age, to look far beyond his immediate social context and into the realm of political action and involvement. She also taught Hebrew at Mikveh Israel, and so by the time her son was ready to enter the teaching profession himself, it had become, for him, a very familiar domain. According to Otero, "The influence of his father on him is easier to trace than that of his mother, née Elsie Simonofsky, who was more left oriented than her husband and appears to have made an impression on her son `in the area of general concern about social issues' and politics, `one major part of [Chomsky's] intellectual life'" ("Chomsky and the Libertarian Tradition" 4). One can only imagine the dinner-table conversation in such a household. As Otero goes on to tell us, Chomsky simply reports: "During childhood, there was always plenty of discussion in [our] home about really interesting and important issues" (16n10). Among those issues was a form of Zionism, at the time considered mainstream, that had been inspired by the West European Enlightenment. The Chomskys, Otero says, were particularly influenced by Asher Ginsburg (1856 1927), a Hebrew stylist and writer who acted as a spokesman for the advocates of this Zionist movement, who went by the pen name Ahad Haam, "one of the people." Ginsburg's Zionism is today considered by many to be anti-Zionist.
Elsie is described as having been rather more reserved than William. Bea Tucker describes her as "cool," "distant," and "incredibly brilliant." She, like her husband, had a towering intellect, and was greatly in demand as a speaker on scholarly and communal subjects. People such as Tucker, who knew the Chomsky family well, considered each of its members to be gifted, and from very early on, there was a general expectation that Noam and David would follow in the illustrious footsteps of their parents. In hindsight, Noam Chomsky does, indeed, seem to combine the qualities of both his parents. He is warm and accessible, despite his formidable stature. He is also reserved, quiet, and even somewhat shy. He is most certainly comfortable speaking to large audiences, but there is no question that his world is, for the most part, one of solitary study, writing, and research.
From a very early age, Noam and David were immersed in the scholarship, culture, and traditions of Judaism and the Hebrew language through the work of both of their parents. David was also an exceptional child, and also active in family discussions. And, of course, Noam and David spent lots of time together. They enjoyed playing "basketball (of a sort) with some kind of rubber ball we found and a makeshift bushel basket with the bottom knocked out that I managed to tack on to the house wall next to a driveway" (16 Nov. 1995).
Those who knew both David and Noam as children agree that although the two were close, David did keep a somewhat lower profile than his older brother and possessed an easier temperament. Even as a young child, Noam was very competitive, trying, according to Bea Tucker, to "outdo his parents." She recalls an incident that occurred while she was visiting the Chomskys during a vacation they took in 1935. Noam was just seven years old. When William and Elsie left the room, Tucker found herself alone with him. To make conversation, she pointed to Compton's Encyclopaedia and asked Noam if he had looked through any of the volumes. "I've only read half of them," was Noam's reply. In short, Noam was, in the words of Bea Tucker, the "brain," while David was the "nice guy." David had the easygoing character of his father, while Noam was more aloof, like his mother. David went on to study medicine, and still lives and works in Philadelphia.
Noam and David were deeply marked by a remarkable home life. The entire Chomsky family was actively involved in Jewish cultural activities and Jewish issues, particularly the revival of the Hebrew language and Zionism. Chomsky told interviewer Eleanor Wachtel, "I would read Hebrew literature with my father from childhood nineteenth and twentieth century Hebrew literature, and of course older sources. I spent my time in Hebrew school, later became a Hebrew teacher, and out of all of this my political interests converged to an interest in Zionism" (65). Carol Doris Schatz recollects that in Hebrew school Noam would take the lead in discussions. Carol and Noam remained close, and were eventually married; they have stayed together to this day. Bea Tucker remembers Carol Schatz as a very bright and warm girl. Carol's father was a medical doctor, and her family, like the Chomskys, was highly regarded in the community. Chomsky says that he "met" Carol "when I was about five and she was about three, when my parents went to visit her parents at a summer cottage near Philadelphia. Probably occasionally after that. I doubt if we spoke a serious word until she was maybe fourteen or so. Her older sister was a classmate of mine in Hebrew school, and her still older brother was the leader of the synagogue choir, and in that capacity, taught the kids there to chant their Bar-Mitzvah portions (me too)" (13 Feb. 1996).
It is certainly not surprising that, "as a boy of 9, in 1938, [Noam] used to sit in the front row of the Hebrew class at Mikveh Israel ... paying little attention to the teacher [who happened, on occasion, to be his mother]. He was not being disrespectful; he happened to have covered the ground long before, at home, with his parents" (Otero, "Third Emancipatory Phase" 22). Said Itzhak Sankowsky, one of his Hebrew teachers, "it was expected from his family background that he should know more Hebrew than anybody else. Superficially, you couldn't tell there was something unusual there. You had to bring it out with a debate or a bit of knowledge. Then you knew" (qtd. in Yergin 41).
The Extended Family
Politically, Noam's parents were "normal Roosevelt Democrats," although many members of the next level of family cousins and aunts and uncles were part of a Jewish working class with ties to various strains of communism. Chomsky remarks that "several were seamstresses, but these were the days of union building. They were in the ILGWU, which was then finally getting people out of sweatshops (when they had work, that is; they were usually unemployed). Others were involved in everything from ordinary labo[r] to petty commerce to school teaching (for those who managed to work their way through school themselves)" (13 Feb. 1996). Many were involved in the radical political movements that thrived during the Depression. Chomsky explains: "Some were in the Communist Party, some militantly anti-Communist Party (from the left), some Roosevelt Democrats, and everything else from left-liberal to anti-Bolshevik left (whether the Communist Party fits in that spectrum is not obvious, in my opinion)" (31 Mar. 1995). That such diversity of political affiliation should exist within a single family was not unusual among Russian emigrés of the time, and Noam and David undoubtedly benefited from being exposed to a wide range of opinion. Within the extended Chomsky-Simonofsky family, issues were not resolved according to a narrow, status quo set of principles, which meant that Noam and David were given freer rein in their own choices. Their environment as a whole parents, relatives, school, community encouraged the brothers to engage in careful observation and analysis; no single approach to an issue was deemed adequate.
Chomsky was further marked by the socioeconomic situation of the period. He came of age in Quaker Philadelphia during the Depression; he told Wachtel that his early childhood memories included "seeing people coming to the door and trying to sell rags or apples," and " travelling in a trolley car past a textile factory where women were on strike, and watching riot police beat the strikers" (64). And the neighborhood in which the Chomsky family lived was inhabited mainly by Germans and Irish Catholics, who were, for the most part, anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi. Not all children raised under such circumstances develop a social conscience, but it is fair to say that Chomsky, who was immersed in an alien cultural tradition within a community of immigrants, had many occasions to stare hypocrisy and violence in the face and wonder about their sources.
