Book excerpt: What is a man? What is a person? The human being is one of G-ds most interesting creatures. We are commanded but allowed. We are forced but not lead. We loved it but punished. We are powerful but powerless. How can such a creation be anything less than unique? Bereshit (Genesis) 1:26 "Let us make man in our image after our likeness" Reading this passage of scripture reveals a special reality about the human being. What is that special quality one may ask? Asking the question is proof of our uniqueness. We are being fashioned in the divine image of the supreme force. A force that no human being has seen. Our very image is proof of the divine force which governs the world. Human beings are also unique in that we have to ability to acquire information and make decisions that are suited solely to our desires despite the intention of that desire. We cry when in pain but can purposely cause pain G-d, forbid.King Solomon seeks to educate the reader to ensure the straight path is followed. His instructions are passionate detail on how and why students must follow to commandments of truth. He gently leads the reader through a systematic method of wisdom.It does not appear to be systematic at first glance but with knowledge and growth, the reader will begin to see the ladder open to reveal the wisdom that only comes by the Holy One's blessed He, mercy, and the influence of his essence. As Solomon stated "the fear of G-d is the beginning of wisdom. I encourage the reader to read this work given to us by King Solomon diligently and with patients. In time the hidden meaning of the text will be revealed. G-d is a giver of wisdom to those who ask with a pure heart.

Book Synopsis The Book of Jonah by : Shmuly Yanklowitz
Download or read book The Book of Jonah written by Shmuly Yanklowitz and published by CCAR Press. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Jonah is a unique text in the Jewish canon. Among the shortest books in the Bible, it is also one of the most mysterious and morally ambiguous. Who is this prophet running from God, hiding at the bottom of the ocean? Why does he struggle with God's mission to save and forgive Israel's enemies? In this volume, Rabbi Dr. Yanklowitz shows that the Book of Jonah delivers a message of human responsibility in a shared world. Illuminating such contemporary ethical issues as animal welfare, incarceration, climate change, weapons of mass destruction, and Jewish-Muslim relations, this social justice commentary urges us to join in repairing a broken world--a call that we, unlike Jonah, must hasten to answer.
Download or read book The Genius written by Eliyahu Stern and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIV Elijah ben Solomon, the "Genius of Vilna,” was perhaps the best-known and most understudied figure in modern Jewish history. This book offers a new narrative of Jewish modernity based on Elijah's life and influence. While the experience of Jews in modernity has often been described as a process of Western European secularization—with Jews becoming citizens of Western nation-states, congregants of reformed synagogues, and assimilated members of society—Stern uses Elijah’s story to highlight a different theory of modernization for European life. Religious movements such as Hasidism and anti-secular institutions such as the yeshiva emerged from the same democratization of knowledge and privatization of religion that gave rise to secular and universal movements and institutions. Claimed by traditionalists, enlighteners, Zionists, and the Orthodox, Elijah’s genius and its afterlife capture an all-embracing interpretation of the modern Jewish experience. Through the story of the “Vilna Gaon,” Stern presents a new model for understanding modern Jewish history and more generally the place of traditionalism and religious radicalism in modern Western life and thought. /div

Book Synopsis The Book of Proverbs by : Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz
Download or read book The Book of Proverbs written by Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz and published by CCAR Press. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Proverbs, attributed to King Solomon, is a profound collection of Jewish wisdom, song, and inspiration. Yet to contemporary readers, the text can appear vague, ambiguous, and contradictory. In this refreshing and relevant commentary, Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz challenges us to find modern meaning in this ancient text. Using his signature blend of social justice practice and Jewish thought from throughout history, Rabbi Yanklowitz shows how the words of Proverbs are strikingly pertinent to issues we face today. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Rabbi Yanklowitz explores such topics as income inequality, feminism, animal rights, environmentalism, and many more. The author's commentary is paired with the full text of Proverbs--in both Hebrew and an updated, gender-accurate translation--so readers can glean their own insights. Published by CCAR Press, a division of the Central Conference of American Rabbis
Book Synopsis The Evolution of Judaism from Ezra to the Present by : Martin Sicker
Download or read book The Evolution of Judaism from Ezra to the Present written by Martin Sicker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharisaic Judaism, discussed in part 1 of this study, was an inseparable element in the political history of the Second Hebrew Commonwealth. With the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, along with the skeleton of what was once a Jewish state, Judaism entered a period of crisis far more severe than experienced with the destruction of the First Temple, along with the First Hebrew Commonwealth. Pharisaic Judaism, integral to the now nonexistent Jewish state, of necessity gave way to Rabbinic Judaism, which, as a minority religious culture, took root primarily in the enclaves of Jews strewn throughout the diaspora with little or mostly no control over their very existence. And in the absence of a centralized religious authority such as the Sanhedrin in the Temple complex, Jewish communities throughout the Diaspora developed different religious customs, traditions, and in some instances, belief systems, all nominally based on the core teachings of Scripture. Part 2 of this study of the evolution of Judaism from Ezra to the present day will attempt to trace significant developments along that evolutionary path from the transition from Pharisaic to Rabbinic Judaism, that is, Judaism as understood by the different schools of rabbis, as decisors, scholars, and teachers over the past two millennia.

Book Synopsis Travels in Translation by : Ken Frieden
Download or read book Travels in Translation written by Ken Frieden and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries before its “rebirth” as a spoken language, Hebrew writing was like a magical ship in a bottle that gradually changed design but never voyaged out into the world. Isolated, the ancient Hebrew ship was torpid because the language of the Bible was inadequate to represent modern life in Europe. Early modern speakers of Yiddish and German gave Hebrew the breath of life when they translated dialogues, descriptions, and thought processes from their vernaculars into Hebrew. By narrating tales of pilgrimage and adventure, Jews pulled the ship out of the bottle and sent modern Hebrew into the world. In Travels in Translation, Frieden analyzes this emergence of modern Hebrew literature after 1780, a time when Jews were moving beyond their conventional Torah- and Zion-centered worldview. Enlightened authors diverged from pilgrimage narrative traditions and appropriated travel narratives to America, the Pacific, and the Arctic. The effort to translate sea travel stories from European languages—with their nautical terms, wide horizons, and exotic occurrences—made particular demands on Hebrew writers. They had to overcome their tendency to introduce biblical phrases at every turn in order to develop a new, vivid, descriptive language. As Frieden explains through deft linguistic analysis, by 1818, a radically new travel literature in Hebrew had arisen. Authors such as Moses Mendelsohn-Frankfurt and Mendel Lefin published books that charted a new literary path through the world and in European history. Taking a fresh look at the origins of modern Jewish literature, Frieden launches a new approach to literary studies, one that lies at the intersection of translation studies and travel writing.
