Book excerpt: The history and breadth of Jewish pilgrimage traditions is rich and varied. Here Gitlitz and Davidson tell the fascinating, and sometimes harrowing, story of Jewish pilgrimage from the beginnings of Judaism to the present time. They trace the history of Jewish pilgrimage and show how the repeated cycles of exile and return to Israel serve the Jews as a kind of pilgrimage in reverse. This lively account is sure to appeal to anyone interested in religious pilgrimage, tourism, and travel. From Jerusalem and the Mt. of Olives, to the tombs of King David, Rachel, and Joseph, from Galilee to Curacao, Jewish pilgrims seek out spiritual transcendence, a return to their roots, communion with those who have gone before, and connection to their common heritage as they visit holy shrines, important synagogues around the world, Nazi death camps, and the graves of leaders, among other holy places. But what makes these places holy? And what purpose do the pilgrimages serve? How has recent unrest in the Middle East contributed to, or detracted from, modern Jewish pilgrimage and its future? These questions and others are answered in these pages.

Book excerpt: Winner, 2010 Association for Jewish Studies Jordan Schnitzer Book Award 2011 Honorable Mention for the American Sociological Association Culture Section's Mary Douglas Prize for Best Book Since 1999 hundreds of thousands of young American Jews have visited Israel on an all-expense-paid 10-day pilgrimage-tour known as Birthright Israel. The most elaborate of the state-supported homeland tours that are cropping up all over the world, this tour seeks to foster in the American Jewish diaspora a lifelong sense of attachment to Israel based on ethnic and political solidarity. Over a half-billion dollars (and counting) has been spent cultivating this attachment, and despite 9/11 and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict the tours are still going strong. Based on over seven years of first-hand observation in modern day Israel, Shaul Kelner provides an on-the-ground look at this hotly debated and widely emulated use of tourism to forge transnational ties. We ride the bus, attend speeches with the Prime Minister, hang out in the hotel bar, and get a fresh feel for young American Jewish identity and contemporary Israel. We see how tourism's dynamism coupled with the vibrant human agency of the individual tourists inevitably complicate tour leaders' efforts to rein tourism in and bring it under control. By looking at the broader meaning of tourism, Kelner brings to light the contradictions inherent in the tours and the ways that people understandtheir relationship to place both materially and symbolically. Rich in detail, engagingly written, and sensitive to the complexities of modern travel and modern diaspora Jewishness, Tours that Bind offers a new way of thinking about tourism as a way through which people develop understandings of place, society, and self.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Eitan Fishbane's Embers of Pilgrimage reflect a religious sensibility at the same time very modern and very ancient, very traditional and very personal, very Jewish but also very ecumenical, very deep but also very accessible. They are completely original; nobody else in the world could have written them, but everybody will recognize in them something true, something they might have been on the verge of thinking but would never have reached otherwise. With exquisite sensitivity they capture suggestions and half-thoughts, those things you can't see when you look directly at them but can see obliquely (the way you can only see certain stars in your peripheral vision).

Book excerpt: Jerusalem has long been one of the most sought-after destinations for the followers of three world faiths and for secularists alike. For Jews, it has the Western (Wailing) Wall; for Christians, it is where Christ suffered and triumphed; for Muslims, it offers the Dome of the Rock; and for secularists, it is an archeological challenge and a place of tragedy and beauty. This work concentrates on Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and secular pilgrimages to Jerusalem over the last three millennia, drawing from over 165 accounts of travels to the ancient city. Chapters are devoted to ghostly and other pilgrims, the significance of Jerusalem, the beginnings of the pilgrimage in the time of kings David and Solomon, pilgrimages under Roman and Byzantine rule, Christian and Muslim pilgrimages in the early Islamic period, pilgrimages in the First Crusade and its aftermath, more crusades and pilgrims during the Ayyubid and Mamluk dynasties, pilgrimages under Ottoman rule, pilgrimages under the British and Israelis, and the unity among pilgrims and the symbolism of the journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journeys of dislocation and return, of discovery and conquest hold a prominent place in the imagination of many cultures. Wherever an individual or community may be located, it would seem, there is always the dream of being elsewhere. This has been especially true throughout the ages for Jews, for whom the promises and perils of travel have influenced both their own sense of self and their identity in the eyes of others. How does travel writing, as a genre, produce representations of the world of others, against which one's own self can be invented or explored? And what happens when Jewish authors in particular—whether by force or of their own free will, whether in reality or in the imagination—travel from one place to another? How has travel figured in the formation of Jewish identity, and what cultural and ideological work is performed by texts that document or figure specifically Jewish travel? Featuring essays on topics that range from Abraham as a traveler in biblical narrative to the guest book entries at contemporary Israeli museum and memorial sites; from the marvels medieval travelers claim to have encountered to eighteenth-century Jewish critiques of Orientalism; from the Wandering Jew of legend to one mid-twentieth-century Yiddish writer's accounts of his travels through Peru, Jews and Journeys explores what it is about travel writing that enables it to become one of the central mechanisms for exploring the realities and fictions of individual and collective identity.

Book excerpt: Passover & Sukkot, Forever explains the adoption of Constantine's Counsel of Nicene in 325 CE, of Pagan Christmas and Easter in the Christian faith, and why those holidays, celebrated in all Christian faith denominations should not be celebrated. The work discusses why Passover should be recognized and will be ongoing forever and the Festival of Sukkot is the celebration and honoring of the birth of our Lord. Written to show that Easter and Christmas are never mentioned in the Bible, yet our churches today are celebrating Christmas as Christs birthday, when it can be shown that Christ was born at an earlier time of the year In fact, Christmas was not even introduced to America until the middle of the 19th Century.

Book excerpt: This is the story of a dissident rabbi along with members of his synagogue who, in search of a fuller, more relevant Judaism, decide to immigrate to Israel via ship. Each member relates, in the manner of Chaucer's broadly diverse group of characters relating a series of personal tales in which the pilgrims argue, interrupt one another, or comment on the tales being told, as they travel to their common goal. One other rabbi, the ship's Jewish Chaplain, restless, hedonistic, desirous of something more, takes a cynical view of his righteous-minded colleague. The story's dramatic effect occurs when the ship's billionaire and visionary passenger, himself a product of mixed (patrilineal) marriage, overhears the two rabbis conversing one night and persuades the emigrating rabbi to aid migration of thousands of American Jews to Israel. The plan goes awry. The renegade rabbi's true motive for immigration is revealed.Th e other migrating Jews, their motives for immigration disrupted, followed by second thoughts regarding aliyah (migration to Israel). The Jewish Chaplain is transformed and... Rabbi Silverman, a graduate of UCLA, was ordained by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Religious Institute of Religion in 1971. He earned his Doctorate of Hebrew Letters from HUC-JIR in 1981. He pastored congregations in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Newport Beach, CA. From 1977-2000, Rabbi Silverman served as Jewish Prison Chaplain for the California Department of Corrections. He has authored various magazine articles, and co-authored for State Corrections both an Ethics Curriculum ("Where All Faiths Meet") and a Passover Haggadah ("The Prisoners Exodus Story"). Retired from prison chaplaincy and extensive world travel aboard ships, he retrospects full-time while residing with Roxie in Napa, and Palm Desert, CA where he teaches as a faculty member of Temple Har-El, Palm Springs, and also serves as a Hospice Chaplain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the origins and rise of Christian pilgrimage cults in late antique Egypt. Part One covers the major theoretical issues in the study of Coptic pilgrimage, such as sacred landscape and shrines' catchment areas, while Part Two examines native Egyptian and Egyptian Jewish pilgrimage practices. Part Three investigates six major shrines, from Philae's diverse non-Christian devotees to the great pilgrim center of Abu Mina and a Thecla shrine on its route. Part Four looks at such diverse pilgrims' rites as oracles, chant, and stational liturgy, while Part Five brings in Athanasius's and an anonymous hagiographer's perspectives on pilgrimage in Egypt. The volume includes illustrations of the Abu Mina site, pilgrims' ampules from the Thecla shrine, as well as several maps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Samuel Heilman went to Jerusalem as a scholar, planning only to observe and record the facts about another culture. But what began as an academic sabbatical was transformed into a personal pilgrimage, a quest to overcome his estrangement from the texts of Judaism and to integrate their meaning into this life. His meetings with Talmudic scholars, with mystics and preachers, and his encounters with the ordinary people of Jerusalem - alms collectors, book dealers, bank tellers, shopkeepers - open the gate in Heilman's wall of resistance to the past. In the study of the holy books he had rejected in the name of modern science and "fats," Heilman breaches the boundaries of time and place and discovers a spirit that links his modern world with his ancient heritage." -- Back cover
