Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this gripping memoir, Lederman tells her story of survival during one of the most horrific episodes in history.

Resolved that she must avoid the detention camp to help her family, Lederman obtains a false birth certificate and escapes the ghetto. Through the courage and humanity of a few individuals, she finds work in a hospital in Germany under an assumed identity. With fierce determination and resourcefulness, Lederman manages to elude Nazi capture and eventually immigrates to the United States with her husband. Sheva’s Promise is not only an invaluable piece of historical record but also the work of a gifted writer whose keen eye for detail and skillful attention to language gives readers an unforgettable story.
Book Synopsis Jewish Property After 1945 by : Jacob Ari Labendz
Download or read book Jewish Property After 1945 written by Jacob Ari Labendz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions arose after 1945, and have persisted, about the ownership of properties which had belonged to Jewish communities before the Second World War, to Holocaust victims and survivors, and to Jewish expellees from the Middle East and North Africa. Studies of these properties have often focused on their symbolic values, their places in cultures of memory and identity construction, and measures of justice achieved or denied. This collection explores contesting conceptions of ownership and property claims advanced in the post-war years. The authors focus considerably upon how conflicts over these properties both shaped and reflected shifting and competing ideas about Jewish belonging. They show their outcomes to have had considerable consequences for the lived experiences of both Jews and non-Jews around the world. This is because the properties in questions always maintained their worth as material assets, just as they could also impart financial liabilities and other responsibilities to their stewards, regardless of the morality of their title. The unique decision to include studies of European, Middle Eastern, and North African communities into one volume represents an attempt to achieve a more globally sensitive language for thinking about these histories, especially at their points of contact and mutual-reference. This book was originally published as a special issue of Jewish Culture and History.

Book excerpt: Neither of the twin princesses, Monserrat and Sheva, expected to ascend to the throne of Dorn. Their father sat on it and after him came their older brother, but when tragedy strikes and Sheva finds herself first in line, she also finds she's not ready. When the stress becomes too much on a royal tour of the other nine nations of Temmeland, Sheva's husband suggests the twins change places temporarily. They've done this before, innocently and just for fun when they were kids, but can they carry it off now, as adults in public? And what will become of this odd arrangement if Sheva decides she prefers it? More worrying: what happens when the leading light of a rival family of nobles, The Lady Jane Pomeroy discovers the deception?
Book Synopsis The City of Refuge by : Juan Rodriguez
Download or read book The City of Refuge written by Juan Rodriguez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the epic battle with the Shermanites at the end of the previous novel, the Pope Sherman is after them. They have to head out of the country and make it to Australia which is the only safe place. Their first stop is in Britain where they hold a funeral and collect survivors with no memories. Then they head to Spain and collect more survivors and have to face storms made of ash and soot. They soon head to Peru where they meet Shaddrach’s former lover, Michal. She will be the new villain with her secret power of subtle mind-control. They adventure to Africa where they get trapped fighting Bleeders. Dangerous creatures that bleed a cement-like substance and melt in sunlight. After surviving all of this, Veronica is betrayed by Michal, and she ditches them to stay in Korea in a giant castle where she has to overcome impossible obstacles, tests and mazes by using her knowledge of religious history and getting inside of the Pope’s head to uncover clues, which lead her to magical gems that she can use to enhance her powers or help the others. Meanwhile, the rest of the characters settle down in Australia, assuming political roles over this last makeshift excuse for a civilization. The Pope threatens to make his way to Australia to capture Veronica and use her powers to get stronger. Everyone must join together for this epic battle, and their only hope is that they are all left in the dark about the tasks of their friends. The only way this plan works is if everyone is given their assignments in secret whilst being ignorant of the other people’s assignments and missions. If one fails, they all fail and that means Sherman will win.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veronica crash landed on earth all alone with her new found powers. She does a lot of self-reflecting and then goes on her journey to find Celsta. Jessica is guiding Celsta and planning her wedding with Stephen. An intensely dramatic love triangle ensues where Veronica and Jessica fight for Stephen’s love since he is dying soon from the virus. Everyone is concerned because of Veronica’s powers and the desperate desire the Pope has for finding her. This could be a danger to Celsta. Ally and Luis, who are the contacts from Australia trying to keep everyone around the world alive, are not to be fully trusted. It is also believed that Ally is another prescient character with superpowers. The love triangle escalates to people getting physically harmed and dissension dividing the town into factions. After Veronica wins over Stephen’s heart once again, Sheva and Shaddrach convince Jessica to calm down. Karishma and Reve (who is one of the leaders of Celsta) begin making biological weapons using spider venom. When Celsta is attacked, they learn that their contacts from Australia could be working with the evil pope. They assemble together, hoping to use Veronica’s powers over the elements and Karishma’s bioweapons to make a last stand against the Shermanites. They take out an Aargon ship using arrows with the spider venom and use the ship to their advantage to fight against the villains. In an all out brawl of vengeance and violence, Veronica finds a way to trigger her powers and save the town by doing incredible things that are never before seen in any sci-fi or fantasy adventure novel or movie to this day. Unfortunately there is nothing that she can do about Stephen’s mortal condition. Stephen is dying slowly with no cure.

Book Synopsis Biblical Parables and Their Modern Re-creations by : Gila Safran Naveh
Download or read book Biblical Parables and Their Modern Re-creations written by Gila Safran Naveh and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Biblical Parables and Their Modern Re-creations, Gila Safran Naveh carefully charts the historical transformation of these deceptively simple narratives to reveal fundamental shifts in their form, function, and most significantly, their readers' cognitive processes. Bringing together for the first time parables from the Scriptures, the synoptic Gospels, Chassidic tales, and medieval philosophy with the mashal, the rabbinic parables commonly used to interpret Scripture, this book brilliantly contrasts the rhetorical strategies of ancient parables with more recent examples of the genre by Kafka, Borges, Calvino, and Agnon. By using an interdisciplinary approach and insights from current semiotic, linguistic, psychoanalytic, and gender theories, Naveh reveals a dramatic social, cultural, and political shift in the way we view the divine.
Book Synopsis From Bolshoi to Beʼer Sheva, Scientists to Streetsweepers by : Allan S. Galper
Download or read book From Bolshoi to Beʼer Sheva, Scientists to Streetsweepers written by Allan S. Galper and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1995 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When over 400,000 Soviets immigrated to Israel between 1989 and 1992, they expected to be received warmly in the Jewish state, offered jobs, homes, and financial support. Quite to the contrary, they no longer found themselves members of the life that they had once been accustomed to--they were no longer in the cultural arena of the Bolshoi Ballet but in a desert trailer camp on the outskirts of Be'er Sheva and no longer did they work in an environment of respected scientists in Russia but in the unexpected profession of streetsweepers in Israel. This work chronicles the difficult voyage of nearly 200 of these Soviet immigrants from what was once home to a starkly different life in Israel. With a stirring journalistic approach, Galper presents first-hand interviews with emigres on the streets and in the absorption centers of Israel's cities, towns, and settlements. But much more than a documentary or narrative of the immigrants' experiences, this book is a scholarly analysis that reviews the existing academic literature that has addressed the Soviet immigrant experience in Israel. Not stopping there, Galper adds a new interpretation by adapting Emile Durkheim's theory of anomie in an attempt to explain the sociological phenomena that the new Israelis are encountering.
Download or read book Augland written by Erin Carrougher and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how hard she tries, Ashton cannot keep her head down. Not after Sheva is dragged off a train in front of her. Augland 54 is the Pacific Northwest’s most extravagant theme park. Those with Suits choose the body they want and live the life of their dreams…and those without Suits work for the Artificial Existence Center, or AEC. As long as the workers keep their heads down, Augland provides food and shelter from the post-war world outside its domed walls. When Ashton is sent to the new Land of Legends park, she discovers that Augland is keeping secrets—inside and outside of its walls—and they’re more violent than she ever expected. So she decides to fight back. After all, if Augland is going to make her dress up as a red-headed warrior princess, then she’s more than willing to become one. In a corporation-ruled world inhabited by the augmented bodies of the wealthy, securely cut off from the rest in life-extending pods, Ashton exposes the sham of corporate success and refuses to remain a cog in the machine. The only thing that matters now is freedom.

Book excerpt: “In these uncertain times, I know 100 percent that I can stake my life on the unshakeable, unchanging promises of God!” —SHEILA WALSH Where do you turn for shelter in the worst storms of life? You know God’s promises, but are they for you, are they for now, are they for this? If you look to your circumstances alone, it may seem that God has forgotten you. But He hasn’t. He can’t. And He wouldn’t even if He could. God is the only promise maker who is always a promise keeper. And God’s promises will never fail you! In The Shelter of God’s Promises, gifted Bible teacher and inspiring Women of Faith speaker Sheila Walsh searches Scripture for what God has promised us, what God’s promises mean, and how encounters with Christ are the eternal fulfillment of His unrelenting commitment to us. Through vulnerable storytelling, new insights, and an in-depth Bible study, Sheila offers powerful, heart-filled teaching on ten bedrock promises of God, providing the foundation for daily confidence, joy, hope—and shelter.

Download or read book Forming God written by Anne K. Knafl and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines divine anthropomorphism in the Hebrew Bible, a study characterized by disagreement and contradiction. Discussions of anthropomorphism in the Hebrew Bible are typically found in three areas of inquiry: ancient Israelite religion, as reflected by the compositions of the Pentateuch; comparisons with ancient Near Eastern religions; and comparison with ancient translation and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. Contradictory arguments exist, both within each area of study and between them, about the intent of biblical writers, with respect to a theology of anthropomorphism. In this work, Knafl asserts that biblical studies has reached this impasse, largely due to its approach to the study of the phenomenon. The prevailing method has been to study divine anthropomorphism within an assumed framework of polemic and by associating it with a theological system. By contrast, Knafl analyzes divine anthropomorphism as a literary-contextual phenomenon and seeks to build a typology, from which secondary arguments regarding theology or history of religion may be built. This typology will provide scholars of biblical studies, history of religion, and (systematic) theology with a means of evaluating divine anthropomorphisms and their relation to human-divine interactions, as a biblical phenomenon.
