Book Synopsis To Know and to Care by : Eliyahu Touger
Download or read book To Know and to Care written by Eliyahu Touger and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories contained in this book reveal a multidimensional picture of the Rebbe's leadership, showing many different perspectives of his personality.Our intent, however, is also to communicate something more than what is being said, to intimate to our readers an awareness of the general thrust that runs through all these different narratives.Giving sole focus to any particular aspect of the Rebbe's personality, for example, the miracles that he works, the advice he gives people, his scholarship, narrows - and in that way, distorts - the picture of the Rebbe we all have.Every person who has developed a relationship with the Rebbe has his own way of talking about him.But every person also realizes that his viewpoint is only a limited one and that there is something much greater about the Rebbe that he cannot describe. Nevertheless, by seeing a variety of these personal perspectives, it is possible to develop a greater sensitivity to what that greater dimension is.It is our feeling that stories express this best.Stories are alive.In contrast to a biography which represents a cold intellectual perspective on a person's life, in stories, his responses to the people and the circumstances he encounters breathe with vitality. Besides biographies come with explicit or implied conclusions; stories quietly allow the reader to draw his own.
Book Synopsis Studying Hasidism by : Marcin Wodzinski
Download or read book Studying Hasidism written by Marcin Wodzinski and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hasidism, a Jewish religious movement that originated in Poland in the eighteenth century, today counts over 700,000 adherents, primarily in the U.S., Israel, and the UK. Popular and scholarly interest in Hasidic Judaism and Hasidic Jews is growing, but there is no textbook dedicated to research methods in the field, nor sources for the history of Hasidism have been properly recognized. Studying Hasidism, edited by Marcin Wodziński, an internationally recognized historian of Hasidism, aims to remedy this gap. The work’s thirteen chapters each draws upon a set of different sources, many of them previously untapped, including folklore, music, big data, and material culture to demonstrate what is still to be achieved in the study of Hasidism. Ultimately, this textbook presents research methods that can decentralize the role community leaders play in the current literature and reclaim the everyday lives of Hasidic Jews.

Book Synopsis Piety and Rebellion by : Shaul Magid
Download or read book Piety and Rebellion written by Shaul Magid and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piety and Rebellion examines the span of the Hasidic textual tradition from its earliest phases to the 20th century. The essays collected in this volume focus on the tension between Hasidic fidelity to tradition and its rebellious attempt to push the devotional life beyond the borders of conventional religious practice. Many of the essays exhibit a comparative perspective deployed to better articulate the innovative spirit, and traditional challenges, Hasidism presents to the traditional Jewish world. Piety and Rebellion is an attempt to present Hasidism as one case whereby maximalist religion can yield a rebellious challenge to conventional conceptions of religious thought and practice.

Book Synopsis To Heal the Soul by : Kalonymus Kalman Shapira
Download or read book To Heal the Soul written by Kalonymus Kalman Shapira and published by Jason Aronson, Incorporated. This book was released on 1995-04-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the vast and varied body of chasidic literature, rarely does one find a chasidic rebbe writing about himself. Those rebbes who did choose to put pen to paper tended to write expositions on biblical or rabbinical texts, and in many cases it was their students and followers who copied down their teachings. Thus the modern reader is left with works that tend to be impersonal, esoteric, and often complex. The journal of Rabbi Shapira is unique in its use of first-person narrative to relay the inner thoughts, fears, and struggles of this bold leader as he responds to the pains of life. It offers guidelines for spiritual progress and several meditations based on an active imagination. Rabbi Shapira tells us that the purpose of this work is to bequeath a journal of his personal struggles and triumphs to posterity. Some entries are indeed very revealing; the Rebbe is not afraid to disclose his moments of self-doubt, his anger, his fears, and his fervent hope that his soul will remain strong as his body grows old. The more one reads of Rabbi Shapira's journal, the more insight and inspiration one will glean from its message. Young and old will find personal, spiritual guidance in these pages and be able to reap from the maternal fulfillment.

Download or read book The Hasidic Psychology written by and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the impact of ethical systems and social or religious ideologies on socio-behavioral patterns is a longstanding theme in social science research. While interest may have begun with Max Weber and his thesis of the relationship between the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism, it extends far beyond this. Surprisingly, few studies have delved into the socio-behavioral patterns emanating from Jewish ethics. This book, with a new introduction by the author, fills that gap. As Hasidic Psychology makes clear, Jewish ethics are unique in many ways, especially in that they are essentially other-centered. Man's ability to affect his own future and interpersonal relations are explained according to the theory of contraction, popularized in Hasidic thought: God, by contracting Himself to evacuate space for the human world, bestowed upon man the power and responsibility to determine his own future, and even affect God's disposition. In the first part of the book, the sociological-structural concept of mono versus multiple ideal labeling is introduced. This concept refers to a social system in which diverse material and spiritual actualization patterns are structurally introduced as equal social ideals. In the second part, basic tenets of classic interaction and socialization are compared to the interpersonal perspective, and the contraction theory is explained as a process of "mutual emulation," whereby father and son affect each other. In the third part, a functional approach to deviance is developed through the Hasidic process known as "ascend via descend."

Download or read book Faith written by Abraham Sagi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith: Jewish Perspectives explores important questions in both modern and premodern Jewish philosophy regarding the idea of faith. Is believing a voluntary action, or do believers find themselves within the experience of faith against their will? Can faith be understood through other means (psychological, epistemic, and so forth), or is it only comprehensible from the inside, that is, from within the religious world? Is a subjective experience of faith fundamentally communicative, meaning that it includes intelligible and transmittable universal elements, or is it a private experience that we can point to or talk about through indirect means (poetic, lyrical, and so forth), but never fully decipher? This book presents various manifestations of the concept of faith in Judaism as a tradition engaged in a dialogue with the outside world. It will function as an opening and an invitation to an ongoing conversation with faith.
Book Synopsis An Inner Perspective by : Leṿi Yitsḥaḳ Sheneʼursohn
Download or read book An Inner Perspective written by Leṿi Yitsḥaḳ Sheneʼursohn and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, father of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, was a profound Torah scholar who served as the rabbi of the Ukrainian city of Yekaterinoslav (now Dnepropetrovsk). He is said to have composed thousands of pages of original Torah thoughts and discourses. The bulk of these writings are considered lost during the tumultuous years of WWII, and extant today are only those he penned on the margins of the few books he had during his final years, while in exile in Chi'ili, in far-off Kazakhstan. More than a decade after R. Levi Yitzchak's passing in Alma-Ata in 1944, these writings were brought to the United States, where they reached his illustrious son, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. In the 1970s, they were published in five volumes under the titles of Likkutei Levi Yitzchak and Torat Levi Yitzchak, and the Rebbe began regularly expounding on these terse glosses at his public addresses.Comprising sixteen essays, the present work was adapted by Rabbi Eli Block from R. Levi Yitzchak's original works as well as from the Rebbe's elucidations.
