Book Synopsis The Magician's Visit by : Isaac Leib Peretz
Download or read book The Magician's Visit written by Isaac Leib Peretz and published by Green Bean Books. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonah and Rebecca have fallen on hard times and as Passover approaches, they cannot afford any of the things they need to celebrate the festival. “God will come to our aid,” Jonah insists, even on Seder night as the house is dark and his table empty. When a magician knocks on their door asking to join their Seder, they are unable to oblige, but the stranger is undeterred. “I have brought the Seder with me” he claims, snapping his fingers to produce two lit candlesticks. At the magician’s command, the house is transformed, and the table is laid with everything Rebecca and Jonah could need for a perfect Seder and a fabulous Passover feast. But is this all a magician’s illusion or could it be the heavenly intervention by the prophet Elijah? The Magician’s Visit has been adapted from a classic folktale by I. L. Peretz – one of the greatest Yiddish writers of all time. Written by acclaimed children’s author Barbara Diamond Goldin and with beautiful new illustrations by award-winning illustrator Eva Sánchez Gómez, this is a spellbinding retelling of a much-loved tale.
Book Synopsis The Joys of Hebrew by : Lewis Glinert
Download or read book The Joys of Hebrew written by Lewis Glinert and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-11-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When do you say mazal tov? What is the English equivalent to the Talmudic expression Alya ve-kots ba ("a sheep's tail with a thorn in it")? What is a get, a golem, a kibbutz, a chalutz? What four plant species are waved during prayers on the harvest festival of Sukkot? You'll find answers to these questions and hundreds of others--all in clear English--in this remarkable collection of the best known, most loved Hebrew words and phrases in the English speaking world. From Acharon to Zohar, this informative and often humorous dictionary features over six hundred Hebrew words and expressions arranged in alphabetical order (the Roman alphabet is used throughout, as well as Hebrew head words). The first such guide to Hebrew, this volume is more than a mere lexicon--it is a jubilant celebration of Hebrew itself, a treasure trove of Jewish wit, wisdom, culture, and tradition. Lewis Glinert provides a concise definition of each entry, and then illustrates the word's usage with generous passages from the Bible and the Talmud, the prayers and the sayings of famous rabbis, the razor's edge of Jewish humor, excerpts from the work of Elie Wiesel, Adin Steinsaltz, S.Y. Agnon, Martin Buber, Naomi Shemer and other contemporary writers, folklore from all over the Jewish world, and colorful slices of modern Israeli life. There are words directly related to the practice of religion, such as amida (a prayer said standing, under one's breath, essentially a cry for help--for wisdom, health, peace, prosperity, and so forth) as well as the names of all the Jewish holy days and religious customs; words from everyday Jewish experience, such peot (the long sidecurls customarily worn by the Chasidim); many words familiar from their use in Israel, such as rega (literally, "one moment," it is the Israeli equivalent of Mexico's mañana) or miluim (army reserve service); and many traditional sayings, such as Tsarat rabim chatsi nechama ("A public woe is half a comfort"). In addition, Glinert provides at the back of the book an alphabetical list of familiar biblical names in English, Sephardi/Israeli Hebrew, and Ashkenazi Hebrew. This celebration of Hebrew language and culture is a joy to read and to use. Everyone from Bible students to collectors of Judaica, from Woody Allen fans to people planning a journey to the Holy Land, will be delighted by this informative volume.

Book Synopsis Diglossic Translanguaging by : Esther Jahns
Download or read book Diglossic Translanguaging written by Esther Jahns and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how German-speaking Jews living in Berlin make sense and make use of their multilingual repertoire. With a focus on lexical variation, the book demonstrates how speakers integrate Yiddish and Hebrew elements into German for indexing belonging and for positioning themselves within the Jewish community. Linguistic choices are shaped by language ideologies (e.g., authenticity, prescriptivism, nostalgia). Speakers translanguage when using their multilingual repertoire, but do so in a diglossic way, using elements from different languages for specific domains.

Though they love each other and appear to be the perfect match for each other, there is one thing standing in the way: David is Sephardic, and Devora is Ashkenazi.

Download or read book Seabourn Quest written by and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes my 15-day cruise aboard the ultra-luxury ship, the Seabourn Quest. We voyaged from Fort Lauderdale Florida, to Barcelona Spain, with a first stop in Portugal’s Madeira islands in Funchal. The ports of call then continued to Tangier and Tetouan, Morocco, then to Malaga, finally ending in Barcelona Spain. Each of these ports of call has much history associated with it. The Madeira islands were only discovered by Portugal in 1419, although the islands are only 2,168 miles from Europe’s coastline. For many years, the city of Tangier had the reputation as a cosmopolitan city, attracting the jet-setters and adventurers. It is also close the Europe, creating a north Africa and southern Europe confluence. Similarly, the name of the city of Malaga derives from ‘melach,’ a Phoenician (and Arabic and Jewish) name for salt, in reference to these Mediterranean traders arriving to this city to obtain its salted fish. And Barcelona has its own unique history, being at the center point for Catalonian independence. It stunning beauty makes it an attractive city to visit. Following disembarkation, I stayed in the city to explore its people and history, learning of its ancient Jewish heritage and the flashpoints of history. I review these and offer insight into the great disputation between the Chief Rabbi of Girona, Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman, and a representative of the Catholic church. The disputation was done in the presence of the king, but within 30 days of the disputation, the Rabbi was forced to leave his home and community, settling in Jerusalem. I was also able to meet leading figures in the efforts at Catalonian independence. At the time, there was much energy and speculation in Catalonia breaking away from Spain. But that did not happen and its efforts remain amongst its people. This was a brief but enjoyable voyage.
