Goelism

/ɡoʊˈɛlɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The system or practice of goel redemption in Jewish law, where kinsmen have duties to redeem or restore family members' property or status.

Etymology

From Hebrew 'goel' (redeemer) plus English '-ism' (system or practice). The suffix '-ism' comes from Greek, but here it's applied to a Hebrew legal concept, showing how English absorbs terms from diverse traditions. Relatively rare in English, appearing mainly in biblical commentary and Jewish legal scholarship.

Kelly Says

Goelism is one of the earliest forms of social insurance—before governments existed, families created automatic safety nets where your relatives *had* to help you recover from disaster!
