Book Synopsis The Menorah, the Ancient Seven-armed Candelabrum by : Rachel Hachlili
Download or read book The Menorah, the Ancient Seven-armed Candelabrum written by Rachel Hachlili and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The menorah was the most important and dominant symbol in Jewish art, both in the Land of Israel and the Diaspora. The menorah was an integral part of the Temple ritual and was the most important of the Temple vessels. Its later representation served the purpose of reminding the Jews of their previous glory as well as their pride in the Temple, and expressed the longing and hope for the renewal of the Temple services and worship. Following the destruction of the Temple, the menorah took on the profound significance of the Temple. It also came to symbolize Judaism, when it was necessary to distinguish synagogues, Jewish tombs, and catacombs from Christian or pagan structures in the Land of Israel and the Diaspora . The menorah image has been found depicted in synagogues, public buildings, homes, and the funerary context throughout the Land of Israel and the Diaspora, leaving no doubt as to which are Jewish structures. The prominent position of the menorah in Jewish art emphasizes its significance. The book is presenting the art, archaeological, historical and literary evidence for the development, form, meaning, and significance of the menorah during the Second Temple period and the Late Antiquity.

Book Synopsis The Five Books of Moses by : Sol Scharfstein
Download or read book The Five Books of Moses written by Sol Scharfstein and published by KTAV Publishing House, Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sol Scharfstein's new translation of the Torah (The Five Books of Moses) is written with a sense of piety and awe for the majesty and sanctity of the biblical text, it conveys the content of the Five Book of Moses in language that is easy to read and understand. The message of the Bible is ageless, but for full comprehension, it must be presented in language suited to the time and place of the reader. Scharfstein's fluent, idiomatic translation does exactly this--replacing the ancient robes of 4000 years ago in which the Torah was given on Sinai with up-to-date garments of the 21st century that preserve its inner essence but make it familiar and user-friendly. The weekly readings and their divisions are all clearly designated, and each book of the Torah is preceded by a brief introduction that explains its most important aspects. In addition, a long introductory illustrated essay gives a full account of the place of the Torah in Judaism and in the synagogue service. All in all, this new translation will prove to be an essential addition to the home library of people of all faiths.

Book Synopsis Church and State by : David K. Ryden
Download or read book Church and State written by David K. Ryden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly annotated document collection gives students and researchers an authoritative source for understanding the evolving political and legal relationship between church and state from colonial times to the present day. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The Establishment Clause, meanwhile, declares a position of neutrality not only between differing religions, but between religious and nonreligious beliefs. The terms of the Free Exercise Clause, however, provide special protections to religious belief and practice. Thus the provisions of the two clauses can clash. In fact, differing political and legal interpretations of these clauses have resulted in some of the most hard-fought and contentious philosophical battles in American history. This book provides readers with convenient access to pertinent documents and court cases that enables a deeper understanding of the past and current balance between church and state and its political implications in the 21st century. The expert commentary that accompanies these key documents serves to elucidate how interpretation of the U.S. Constitution affects issues such as whether public funds or other public support should go to religious-based schools or hospitals; how to safeguard individuals' rights to religious expression while also considering how individuals should not be forced to participate in mandatory religious expressions in public institutions; and how the language regarding "separation of church and state" came about, when this phrase does not appear anywhere in the Constitution.
Download or read book Hanukkah written by Carole Marsh and published by Gallopade International. This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activities, Crafts, Recipes, and More! Learn a little about the history and traditions of Hanukkah. Whether you are Jewish or not you will still love to read the stories, do the activities, and try the recipes, and more! Kids will love to help celebrate this sacred holiday. Festive Hanukkah reason-behind-the-recipe from Hanukkah Activities, Crafts, Recipes, and More!: Latkes are potato pancakes fried in oil. The reason Latkes are such a popular Hanukkah recipe is because oil is a reminder of the miraculous oil that lasted for eight days when the Temple of Jerusalem was rededicated. Spinning dreidels, sizzling latkes, singing children at the synagogue, flickering candles, and the scent of sweet sufganiyot wafting throughout the house... these are some of my favorite sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish holiday in December. More than 2,000 years ago, a small band of Jewish rebels, armed with their faith in God, defeated a mighty army from a mighty empire. Hanukkah celebrates this important victory that led to the freedom and independence of the Jewish people. This book is packed with wonderful stories, interesting facts, great crafts, and lots more for you to enjoy during the Hanukkah season (or anytime you just WANT it to be Hanukkah!). I've included games, songs, puzzles, trivia, projects, recipes, and even a family Hanukkah newsletter! Remember, when it comes to celebrating Hanukkah with your loved ones, a truly creative mind can always come up with endless ideas! This special season is celebrated by children all around the world from Israel to America. So whether you are building a snowman or a sandcastle this December, I hope this activity book helps you learn more about this special holiday. Happy Hanukkah! Carole Marsh & the Gallopade Gang
