Book Synopsis Nine Gates to the Chasidic Mysteries by : Mordechai Georgo Langer
Download or read book Nine Gates to the Chasidic Mysteries written by Mordechai Georgo Langer and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eighteen months after it was published, it was banned by the Nazis, who had occupied the region and labeled the book a monstrosity of art, copies being confiscated as a result of house-to-house searches. Yet, this exceptional example of spiritual autobiography continues to live, having since been translated into several languages, including Italian and German. Part of the special quality of Nine Gates to the Chasidic Mysteries is that despite its being deeply rooted in the world of mystical Judaism, the sketches of chasidic life and the folktales that Langer learned during his life among the chasidim are written for the reader who is not familiar with the esoteric theology of Kabbalah. As the author's brother remarks in his insightful and revealing foreword to the book, "Their purpose was to tell . . . something different about the Jews from that which Nazi anti-Semitism was endeavoring to smuggle across the Czechoslovak frontier."" "Jiri Langer was indeed a remarkable individual. A friend of Franz Kafka (he taught Kafka Hebrew) and Max Brod (who writes in his own autobiography that some of his work would never have been written without Langer's help), he was also one of Sigmund Freud's earliest admirers, and he wrote a number of studies of Jewish ritual and literature, applying Freud's ideas along the way.".

Book excerpt: In 1913, just before the outbreak of the First World War, a 19-year-old Czech Jew named Jiri Langer left his assimilated family to live in the remote village of Belz, Galicia (now Ukraine). He had gone to live under the Chassidic (or Hasidic) Rokeach dynasty, a line of Rabbis that survives to this day. Nine Gates is the autobiographical tale of Langer's time amongst these isolated Chassidic mystics of Eastern Galicia. He tells of their enthusiasm, their simple faith, their ecstasies, their austerities, their feasts, their wonder-working Holy Rabbis and their esoteric wisdom. Alongside this narrative sits a collection of shrewd and earthy folk tales told by the holy men who ruled these little spiritual kingdoms for generation after generation. Over 80 years since its original publication in Czech, this translation by Stephen Jolly remains the definitive English version of this towering work of Jewish introspection. Nine Gates is a document from another time and place, and yet it captures the same spirit of religious longing and exploration that attracts a growing number of seekers today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The available sources on Hasidic society at the turn of the twentieth century create an impression of discontented Jewish youth and panicked parents, but not inexorable crisis and decline. Though the First World War and post-war pogroms further destabilized Hasidic society, they inadvertently created opportunities for the reinvention and revitalization of traditionalist education. The challenges of the early twentieth century would prove more galvanizing than demoralizing for certain visionary, reform-minded Hasidic leaders"--
Book Synopsis Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows by : Joshua Free
Download or read book Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows written by Joshua Free and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NINE GATES OF THE KINGDOM OF SHADOWS... The reissue compact nostalgia "Amethyst Edition" of the original 2009 "Necronomicon Shadows: The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows" (Liber-9) companion to the authentic Sumerian/Babylonian Liber-N "Necronomicon" (Lapis Edition), the now infamous bestselling classic that launched itself from the modern underground movement known as the Mardukites. "More than simply a book imagined by a fantasy horror writer, or the product of some intensive Mesopotamian investigations in the 1970's, the NECRONOMICON is a piece of human consciousness, a primordial archetype that has existed in the backwaters of the mind for thousands of years. During a "new age" of revivals in ancient paganism and earth oriented spirituality, people have flocked to the ranks of neo-paganism, Wicca, Druidry and Scientology, and for good reason: the state of the world is in demand for a complete shift in human awareness. And while H.P. Lovecraft may have been alluding to such a tradition nearly one hundred years ago (even if only subconsciously) and the 1960's witnessed a gigantic practical rebirth in such traditions, it was really in the late 1970's that a separate but synchronous mainstream awakening occurred: the renewed interest in the the most antiquated Sumerian and Babylonian mysteries, specifically the role of the ANUNNAKI, Great Gods who once roamed the Earth and became the figures of our ancient mythologies..." The Mardukite Research Organization was founded on the Summer Solstice in 2008 during the underground release of "Arcanum" by Joshua Free. At its inception, the group was extraordinarily small but pointedly grew exponentially as soon as it began to make an online internet presence. In 2009, the Mardukite Chamberlains began releasing their underground publications as part of an extraordinarily extensive version of what many people's debut into the realm of Mesopotamian esoterica had been - the Necronomicon. The original versions of the 2009 'Mardukite Core' were all elaborately designed limited edition handcrafted tomes that later only appeared in the consolidated anthology titled 'Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible'. It consisted of the 'Necronomicon (of Joshua Free)' (Liber-N) in June of 2009 and three subsequent titles, 'Necronomicon Liturgy & Lore' (Liber-L), the 'Necronomicon Gatekeeper's Grimoire' (Liber-G) and the 'Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows' or 'Necronomicon Shadows' (Liber-9). Although the entire 'Year-1' anthology has been available exclusively as the 'Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible' for over four years, the 'Mardukite Truth Seeker Press' has decided to release a 'nostalgia edition' in 2012 of the original 'Mardukite Core' for those who are new to the mysteries and to rekindle the original flavor of the mystique that was ascertained by those involved with the early development of the materials. In early 2012 a condensed, compact and abridged edition of the 'Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible' appeared on the scene as a reissue of the original 'lapis edition'. To coincide with this effort, a similarly designed reissue of the remaining 2009 'gem series' (as it was called then) is intended for release. Following popular demand, the previously released 2012 'Lapis Edition' Necronomicon actually included more material than simply 'Liber-N' and thus differed from the original edition, these companions: 'Liber L', 'Liber G' and 'Liber-9', were all designed to match the original format and content as much as possible given the preexisting difference in production style. EDITION NOTE: This is a compact and abridged version excerpting key elements from the complete "Year 1" work of the Mardukite Chamberlains released in the Liber-N]L+G+9 anthology as the "Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible" edited by Joshua Free.
Book Synopsis A Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism Reader by : Daniel M. Horwitz
Download or read book A Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism Reader written by Daniel M. Horwitz and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An annotated anthology of Jewish mystical works, concepts, and experiences, A Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism Reader explores issues relating to what has compelled Jews to seek a more intimate relationship with God. It does this by providing readings from the most important mystical texts, accompanied by Daniel M. Horwitz's insightful introductions and commentary. It is carefully designed to make the basic concepts and teachings of Jewish mysticism accessible to a wide audience and to ground these ideas within the broader Jewish tradition. Horwitz's introduction describes five major types of Jewish mysticism and includes a brief chronology of its development, with a timeline. He begins with biblical prophecy and proceeds through the early mystical movements up through current beliefs. Chapters on key subjects characterize mystical expression through the ages, such as Creation and deveikut ("cleaving to God"); the role of Torah; the erotic; inclinations toward good and evil; magic; prayer and ritual; and more. Later chapters deal with Hasidism, the great mystical revival, and twentieth-century mystics, including Abraham Isaac Kook, Kalonymous Kalman Shapira, and Abraham Joshua Heschel. A final chapter addresses today's controversies concerning mysticism's place within Judaism and its potential for enriching the religion. Daniel M. Horwitz is chapel rabbi at Congregation Beth Yeshurun in Houston, Texas. He is a teacher at the Akiba Academy of Beth Yeshurun and the Houston Melton Adult Mini-School.
Download or read book Selected Stories written by Franz Kafka and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A superb new translation of Kafka’s classic stories, authoritatively annotated and beautifully illustrated. Selected Stories presents new, exquisite renderings of short works by one of the indisputable masters of the form. Award-winning translator and scholar Mark Harman offers the most sensitive English rendering yet of Franz Kafka’s unique German prose—terse, witty, laden with ambiguities and double meanings. With his in-depth biographical introduction and notes illuminating the stories and placing them in context, Harman breathes new life into masterpieces that have often been misunderstood. Included are sixteen stories, arranged chronologically to convey a sense of Kafka’s artistic development. Some, like “The Judgment,” “In the Penal Colony,” “A Hunger Artist,” and “The Transformation” (usually, though misleadingly, translated as “The Metamorphosis”), represent the pinnacle of Kafka’s achievement. Accompanying annotations highlight the wordplay and cultural allusions of the original German, pregnant with irony and humor that English readers have often missed. Although Kafka has frequently been cast as a loner, in part because of his quintessential depictions of modern alienation, he had a number of close companions. Harman draws on Kafka’s diaries, extensive correspondence, and engagement with early twentieth-century debates about Darwinism, psychoanalysis, and Zionism to construct a rich portrait of Kafka in his world. A work of both art and scholarship, Selected Stories transforms our understanding and appreciation of a singular imagination.
Download or read book Dreamgates written by Robert Moss and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world-renowned authority on the history, uses, and power of dreaming, Robert Moss guides neophyte and experienced adventurers alike to open their own dreamgates. Through these gates await otherwise inaccessible realms of reality as well as soul remembering — the “recovering of knowledge that belonged to us before we came into this life experience.” Exercises, meditations, and the mesmerizing tales of fellow dream travelers outline Moss’s Active Dreaming technique, a kind of shamanic soul-flight that offers “frequent flyers” a passport between worlds. In this world beyond physical reality, Moss points to wellsprings of healing, creativity, and insight. As readers move into these different ways of seeing and knowing, they may also communicate with spiritual guides and departed loved ones in ways that transform their everyday lives.
Book Synopsis The Jews of Bohemia and Moravia by : Livia Rothkirchen
Download or read book The Jews of Bohemia and Moravia written by Livia Rothkirchen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, and Yad Vashem, Jerusalem “We were both small nations whose existence could never be taken for granted,” Vaclav Havel said of the Czechs and the Jews of Israel in 1990, and indeed, the complex and intimate link between the fortunes of these two peoples is unique in European history. This book, by one of the world’s leading authorities on the history of Czech and Slovak Jewry during the Nazi period, is the first to thoroughly document this singular relationship and to trace its impact, both practical and profound, on the fate of the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia during the Holocaust. Livia Rothkirchen provides a detailed and comprehensive history of how Nazi rule in the Czech lands was shaped as much by local culture and circumstances as by military policy. The extraordinary nature of the Czech Jews’ experience emerges clearly in chapters on the role of the Jewish minority in Czech life; the crises of the Munich agreement and the German occupation, the reaction of the local population to the persecution of the Jews, the policies of the London-based government in exile, the question of Jewish resistance, and the special case of the Terezin (Theresienstadt) ghetto. The Jews of Bohemia and Moravia is based on a wealth of primary documents, many uncovered only after the 1989 November Revolution. With an epilogue on the post-1945 period, this richly woven historical narrative supplies information essential to an understanding of the history of the Jews in Europe.
