Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A superbly illustrated history of five centuries of Jewish manuscripts The love of books in the Jewish tradition extends back over many centuries, and the ways of interpreting those books are as myriad as the traditions themselves.

Book Synopsis Faith in the Future by : Jonathan Sacks
Download or read book Faith in the Future written by Jonathan Sacks and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith in the Future addresses some of the major themes of our time: the fragmentation of our common culture, the breakdown of family and community life, the lack of moral direction, and the waning of religious belief. How, Sacks asks, can we construct a humane social order that honors human dignity and difference, one in which we can be both true to ourselves and a blessing to others? In the confusing state of postindustrial societies in the post-Cold War situation, can we give those who come after us a coherent map of hope? In treating such questions, Faith in the Future is structured in four parts. In the first, The Moral Covenant, Sacks touches on the broadest of issues: morality, the family, and the importance of communities in the life of society. In the second, Living Together, he asks how we can co-exist while remaining faithful to our distinctive identities and traditions. In the third, Jewish Ethics and Spirituality, he sketches some of Judaism's leading themes. There is such a thing, says, as an ecology of hope, and it lies in restoring to our culture a sense of family, community, and religious faith.

Book Synopsis Words for a Dazzling Firmament by : Abe Mezrich
Download or read book Words for a Dazzling Firmament written by Abe Mezrich and published by Ben Yehuda Press. This book was released on 2022-06-04 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abe Mezrich breathes new life into the first third of the Torah in this book of poetic midrash. "It would have been enough if Abe Mezrich only wrote midrashim (creative re-interpretations/rediscoveries of the Torah); it would have been enough if he only wrote poems; it would have been enough if he only wrote Zen koans. How fortunate are we that he has given us a work combines all three! Mezrich is a cultivated craftsman—interpretively astute, sonically deliberate, and spiritually cunning." —Zohar Atkins, author of Nineveh "Direct and accessible, Mezrich's midrashic poems often tease profound meaning out of his chosen Torah texts." —Yehoshua November, author of God's Optimism "Abe Mezrich cuts straight back to the roots of the Midrashic tradition, sermonizing as a poet, rather than ideologue. Best of all, Abe knows how to ask questions and avoid the obvious answers." —Jake Marmer, author of Cosmic Diaspora "Each installment of Abe's still small voice is a miniature jewel, poetically illuminating with its delicate facets otherwise hidden elements of each parsha." —Dan Friedman, managing editor, The Forward "According to the mystics, the Torah was engraved with black fire on white fire. These poetic midrash too. Read them slowly. Spend time in the white spaces. Let the foreignness of the text resonate in silence, and find yourself rewarded." —Jay Michaelson, author of The Gate of Tears: Sadness and the Spiritual Path
