Download or read book A Treasury of Jewish Inspirational Stories written by Lawrence Jeffrey Epstein and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 1993 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we speak of God reaching out to humans, it is called revelation, and the human response to revelation is inspiration. A Treasury of Jewish Inspirational Stories is meant to move the head and the heart to appreciate, as author Lawrence J. Epstein writes, "the effects that divine influence and guidance have had on Jewish individuals, communities, and history". The stories he has gathered manifest the many forms of this human response. As in his previous best-selling volume, A Treasury of Jewish Anecdotes, Epstein shows us his remarkable skill of gathering tales and his talent for retelling them in a voice that speaks clearly to a contemporary audience. These are not stories of purported miracles. Nor are they always verifiable. Some of the stories are folktales, others are exaggerations. Some are biographical, others are snapshots from history. But all have a singular theme and goal: renewed faith in divine guidance or in the human capacity to do good deeds. Epstein explains in his introduction that an inspirational story can affect its listener in many ways: it can clarify religious ideas, lead to spiritual experiences, reinforce theological notions, provide peace of mind, give birth to motivation for spiritual action, and serve as a model for living. To find such stories for A Treasury of Jewish Inspirational Stories, Epstein searched every corner of Jewish experience, from the Bible to modern times. He combed the classical literature, hasidic lore, and the lives of well-known Jewish personalities - such as Hillel, Rashi, and Maimonides - as well as lesser-known figures and ordinary individuals, looking for tales that provide us with a "shock of insight into eternal mysteries".These stories, Epstein goes on to say, help us "become connected to a divine process we can only dimly comprehend, but one to which we react with awe and reverence". A Treasury of Jewish Inspirational Stories is a fine sourcebook for what the author describes as "a special kind of literature". Epstein has provided us with retellings of such stories as the Exodus from Egypt, Mount Sinai, the receiving of the Ten Commandments, the story of Esther, Judah Maccabee, Herzl and the rebirth of Israel, the fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto - over 125 "stories that move the intellect and the emotions". Epstein remarks that the original idea for writing a book of inspirational stories came after listening to a survivor of the Holocaust. It is his hope that A Treasury of Jewish Inspirational Stories will allow readers to search for the inspirational stories in their own lives.

Book excerpt: Winner, 2021 Reference & Bibliography Award in the 'Reference' Section, given by the Association of Jewish Libraries An unprecedented treasury of Yiddish children’s stories and poems enhanced with original illustrations While there has been a recent boom in Jewish literacy and learning within the US, few resources exist to enable American Jews to experience the rich primary sources of Yiddish culture. Stepping into this void, Miriam Udel has crafted an exquisite collection: Honey on the Page offers a feast of beguiling original translations of stories and poems for children. Arranged thematically—from school days to the holidays—the book takes readers from Jewish holidays and history to folktales and fables, from stories of humanistic ethics to multi-generational family sagas. Featuring many works that are appearing in English for the first time, and written by both prominent and lesser-known authors, this anthology spans the Yiddish-speaking globe—drawing from materials published in Eastern Europe, New York, and Latin America from the 1910s, during the interwar period, and up through the 1970s. With its vast scope, Honey on the Page offers a cornucopia of delights to families, individuals and educators seeking literature that speaks to Jewish children about their religious, cultural, and ethical heritage. Complemented by whimsical, humorous illustrations by Paula Cohen, an acclaimed children’s book illustrator, Udel’s evocative translations of Yiddish stories and poetry will delight young and older readers alike.

Download or read book Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean written by Edward Kritzler and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2009-11-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively debut work of history, Edward Kritzler tells the tale of an unlikely group of swashbuckling Jews who ransacked the high seas in the aftermath of the Spanish Inquisition. At the end of the fifteenth century, many Jews had to flee Spain and Portugal. The most adventurous among them took to the seas as freewheeling outlaws. In ships bearing names such as the Prophet Samuel, Queen Esther, and Shield of Abraham, they attacked and plundered the Spanish fleet while forming alliances with other European powers to ensure the safety of Jews living in hiding. Filled with high-sea adventures–including encounters with Captain Morgan and other legendary pirates–Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean reveals a hidden chapter in Jewish history as well as the cruelty, terror, and greed that flourished during the Age of Discovery.
