Download or read book Mazel Tov written by J. S. Margot and published by Pushkin Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartwarming, funny and provocative memoir of a woman navigating clashing cultures during her decades-long friendship with an Orthodox Jewish family, new in paperback When 20-year-old student J. S. Margot took a tutoring job in 1987, little did she know it would open up an entire world. In the family's Orthodox Jewish household she would encounter endless rules - 'never come on a Friday, never shake hands with a man' - and quirks she had not seen before: tiny tubes on the doorposts, separate fridges for meat and dairy products. Her initial response was puzzlement and occasionally anger, but as she taught the children and fiercely debated with the family, she also began to learn from them. Full of funny misunderstandings and unexpected connections, Mazel Tov is a heartwarming, provocative and disarmingly honest memoir of clashing cultures and unusual friendships - and of how, where adults build walls, sometimes only children can dissolve them.
Book Synopsis Tevye the Dairyman and The Railroad Stories by : Sholem Aleichem

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the characters in modern Jewish fiction, the most beloved is Tevye, the compassionate, irrepressible, Bible-quoting dairyman from Anatevka, who has been immortalized in the writings of Sholem Aleichem and in acclaimed and award-winning theatrical and film adaptations. And no Yiddish writer was more beloved than Tevye’s creator, Sholem Rabinovich (1859–1916), the “Jewish Mark Twain,” who wrote under the pen name of Sholem Aleichem. Beautifully translated by Hillel Halkin, here is Sholem Aleichem’s heartwarming and poignant account of Tevye and his daughters, together with the “Railroad Stories,” twenty-one tales that examine human nature and modernity as they are perceived by men and women riding the trains from shtetl to shtetl.

Book Synopsis Believe what You Read by : Michael E. Bulson

Book excerpt: "Believe what you read" are the first words used in the presentation of the Book of the Gospels to a newly ordained deacon by his bishop. In keeping with this spirit, Michael E. Bulson presents this collection of "timeless homilies for deacons." Deacon Bulson always roots the homilies in scripture readings, supplemented by such diverse sources as Kathleen Norris, St. Thomas Aquinas, Anthony de Mello, Karl Rahner, St. Augustine, Henri Nouwen, the movie Schindler's List, and many others. The result is a homiletic resource for deacons that is "ever ancient, ever new" in the words of Augustine-a bishop who had a particular love and admiration for his deacons. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis The Messiah Chronicles: Book 1 by : Rivka Sarah Horowitz
Download or read book The Messiah Chronicles: Book 1 written by Rivka Sarah Horowitz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Arielle, a new immigrant to Israel, sees a poster announcing the coming of the Messiah, she feels compelled to raise people's awareness about it in any way she can. She starts by interviewing people, follows an old Chassid who is putting up more signs, and gets involved in promoting the rally where the Messiah is to be revealed. Little does she know that this day will change her life, setting her on an exploration of her beliefs and her commitment to the path she's chosen. A handsome young Chassid she meets the day of the rally, Aryeh, goes through changes of his own, choosing to leave the insular world he’d grown up in. David, a former Chassid who has chosen to leave the fold and expand his horizons, is of Davidic descent. His Uncle Yehoshua, a Holocaust survivor, believes himself to be the Messiah and plans to let the world know at a rally in Jerusalem. Yehoshua has been excommunicated by his Chassidic sect, including most of his family. Though David isn’t sure if it's true, he is willing to do whatever he can to help his uncle. When Aryeh and Arielle meet again at a Shabbat dinner, they feel a strong bond. As they get to know each other and their relationship develops, Aryeh introduces her to his new friends, David and Miri, and a world of spirituality she hadn't known existed. David's chosen profession, as a university professor, makes it necessary for David and Miri to move back to the United States. In 1994, after five years back in the United States, a dream Miri has leads them back to Israel for a visit, which will allow them to realize a longtime dream.
Book Synopsis If a Place Can Make You Cry by : Daniel Gordis
Download or read book If a Place Can Make You Cry written by Daniel Gordis and published by Crown. This book was released on 2002-10-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1998, Daniel Gordis and his family moved to Israel from Los Angeles. They planned to be there for a year, during which time Daniel would be a Fellow at the Mandel Institute in Jerusalem. This was a euphoric time in Israel. The economy was booming, and peace seemed virtually guaranteed. A few months into their stay, Gordis and his wife decided to remain in Israel permanently, confident that their children would be among the first generation of Israelis to grow up in peace. Immediately after arriving in Israel, Daniel had started sending out e-mails about his and his family’s life to friends and family abroad. These missives—passionate, thoughtful, beautifully written, and informative—began reaching a much broader readership than he’d ever envisioned, eventually being excerpted in The New York Times Magazine to much acclaim. An edited and finely crafted collection of his original e-mails, If a Place Can Make You Cry is a first-person, immediate account of Israel’s post-Oslo meltdown that cuts through the rhetoric and stridency of most dispatches from that country or from the international media. Above all, Gordis tells the story of a family that must cope with the sudden realization that they took their children from a serene and secure neighborhood in Los Angeles to an Israel not at peace but mired in war. This is the chronicle of a loss of innocence—the innocence of Daniel and his wife, and of their children. Ultimately, through Gordis’s eyes, Israel, with all its beauty, madness, violence, and history, comes to life in a way we’ve never quite seen before. Daniel Gordis captures as no one has the years leading up to what every Israeli dreaded: on April 1, 2002, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declared that Israel was at war. After an almost endless cycle of suicide bombings and harsh retaliation, any remaining chance for peace had seemingly died. If a Place Can Make You Cry is the story of a time in which peace gave way to war, when childhood innocence evaporated in the heat of hatred, when it became difficult even to hope. Like countless other Israeli parents, Gordis and his wife struggled to make their children’s lives manageable and meaningful, despite it all. This is a book about what their children gained, what they lost, and how, in the midst of everything, a whole family learned time and again what really matters.

Download or read book Landmark Yiddish Plays written by and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering snapshots of a pivotal era in which the Jews of Europe made the transition from a traditional to a more modern world, the Yiddish plays translated and collected here wrestle with issues that continue to concern us today: changing gender roles, generational conflict, class divisions, and religious persecution. In their introduction to the volume, Joel Berkowitz and Jeremy Dauber place the plays in the context of the development of modern drama and Yiddish drama and examine their treatment of social, political, and religious issues. The many ways in which the plays address these issues make them transcend their own time, exciting a new generation of readers and theatergoers.
Book Synopsis Beloved Brother (Amato Fratello) by : William L. Shaffer
Download or read book Beloved Brother (Amato Fratello) written by William L. Shaffer and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Shaffer writes novels based on his past-life memories. For over 40 years, he has been a reader of the Akashic Records, the energy field within each incarnate soul that is the total sum of all past-life experience. In Beloved Brother, Mr. Shaffer writes of his experience as a monk in seventh-century central Scotland and his short-lived but highly intense relationship with an Italian knight from Venice who shows up at the monastery in time to save the monk’s life, but in doing so is almost fatally wounded. The monk is then assigned to nurse the knight back to health. The novel chronicles the extraordinary emotional, physical and spiritual relationship between the two men, exploring their karmic lessons that magnetised them together but then tore them asunder. All their drama and pain provide them with what needs to be learned, healed and transformed in order for them to continue their spiritual progress into their future incarnations.
