Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Exile by Hebrew Poets Blasar ben kalir's birthplace is unknown, and the dates given for his birth range from 800 to 1000 C. E. He was the creator of a new form of sutz'zzz, and was fol lowed by an imitative school of Paz'tam'm. His style is condensed, obscure, and full of allusions to Hagadic pas sages. Oi this allusive style, the first line of the seventh stanza in the following poem (15m ll? Nd) may be taken as an example. Tradition makes Jacob linger for four teen years, on his way to Mesopotamia, in the houses of study of Shem and Eber. Other legends are told of Jacob's love of learning - Kalir's compositions number over two hundred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the tenth century to the thirteenth, the Jews of Spain belonged to a vibrant and relatively tolerant Arabic-speaking society, a sophisticated culture that had a marked effect on Jewish life, thought, artistic tastes, and literary expression. In this companion volume to Wine, Women, and Death, we see how the surrounding Arabic culture influenced the new poetry that was being written for the synagogue service. The Hebrew poems here, accompanied by elegant English translations and explanatory essays are short lyrics of the highest literary quality.

Book excerpt: In A Vocabulary of Desire, Laura Lieber offers a nuanced, multifaceted and highly original study of how the Song of Songs was understood and deployed by Jewish liturgical poets in Late Antiquity (ca. 4th-7th centuries CE). Through her examination of poems which embellish and even rewrite the Song of Songs, Lieber brings the creative spirit-liturgical, intellectual, and exegetical-of these poems vividly to the fore. All who are interested in the early interpretation of the Song of Songs, the ancient synagogue, early Jewish and Christian hymnography, and Judaism in Late Antiquity will find this volume both enriching and accessible. The volume consists of two interrelated halves. In the first section, four introductory essays establish the broad cultural context in which these poems emerged; in the second, each chapter consists of an analytical essay structured around a single, complete poetic cycle, presented in new Hebrew editions with annotated original English translations. "The Hebrew text edition is accompanied by a lucid and poetic English translation with annotations and a commentary. In this excellent, scholarly text edition, the commentary is focused and to the point...This reviewer highly recommends this monograph to scholars interested in the early synagogue and its liturgy, late antique and medieval Hebrew poetry, rabbinic Judaism, and early Christianity. The book invites further comparative work in these areas." Rivka B. Ulmer, H-Judaic, H-Net Reviews. May, 2015.

Book excerpt: Songs of Exile is a collection of five poems set to music. Though originating from a variety of historical and national contexts, each poem centers around the theme of exile, or, more specifically, around an exile's journey. The order of the movements mirrors the general arch of an exile's life (home - away - home*), yet the structure is in no way intended to represent a strict sequence of what could be identified as stages of exile. The composition begins with a departure from home, shifts to several vignettes in a foreign land, and concludes with a return. An instrumental prelude foreshadowing the terrors of exile opens the suite. The first poem, "One Last Taste," interrupts this orchestral overture with a scene of a family on the brink of war and explusion. Joy Moore composed this text in 2015, a year plagued with the Syrian refugee crisis. Here, she reflects on Osip Mandlestam's "Night Piece," a 1931 poem encapsulating Mandlestam's trepidation yet resolve in anticipation of his own inevitable exile. The next three poems are glimpses of an exile's life away from home. Ant & ocirc;nio Gon & ccedil;alves Dias, in his late-nineteenth-century poem entitled & ldquo;Can & ccedil; & atilde;o do Ex & iacute;lio & rdquo;, or & ldquo;Song of Exile, & rdquo; meditates from afar on the beauties of his Brazilian homeland -- "where the sabi & aacute; [bird] sings. & rdquo; This descriptive poem captures the sorrow and reminiscence of an exile's displacement, encapsulated in the closing prayer to God to not let him die in a foreign land. The next poem is "Written in Pencil in a Sealed Railway Car" by Dan Pagis. Pagis wrote this short, potent text years after his Holocaust experience as a youth. He combines imagery of the Holocaust with language from the Jewish Pentateuch. Psalm 137, another Hebrew exile poem, echoes the horrors of Pagis's words with a brokenhearted prayer to God for vengeance on those who exiled them -- in this context, the Babylonians. An eighth-century text by Li Po serves as the final poem. "Return of the Exile" concisely summarizes the effects of exile: even if one is able to make it back home, the experience of being forced away from the familiar and familial leaves its scars, whether physical or emotional. A return home, then, is never a true return.

Download or read book The Song of the Distant Dove written by Raymond P. Scheindlin and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2008 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judah Halevi (ca. 1075-1141) is the best known and most beloved of medieval Hebrew poets, partly because of his passionate poems of longing for the Land of Israel and partly because of the legend of his death as a martyr while reciting his Ode to Zion at the gates of Jerusalem. He was also one of the premier theologians of medieval Judaism, having written a treatise on the meaning of Judaism that is still studied and venerated by traditional Jews.As a member of the wealthy Jewish elite of medieval Spain, Halevi enjoyed the material pleasures available to the upper classes. Alongside his sacred poetry, he wrote verses about youthful romance, wine songs, and odes to his friends. In midlife, Halevi turned more seriously to religion, eventually abandoning his family and community with hopes of ending his life as a pilgrim in the land of Israel.Miraculously, a number of letters in Arabic were discovered about fifty years ago, some written by Halevi, some written to Halevi, and yet others written about Halevi by his friends in Egypt. These letters preserve a vivid record of Halevi's travels as a pilgrim and of the last months of his life. Raymond Scheindlin has written the first book-length treatment of Halevi's pilgrimage in any language. He tells the story of Halevi's journey through selections from these revealing sources and explores its meaning through discussions of his stirring poetry, presented here in new verse translations with full commentary.In Hebrew verse of unparalleled beauty, Halevi salutes the Holy Land; he argues with friends about his intentions; he sets out his fantasy of crossing the ocean, of walking the hills and valleys of the Land of Israel, and of dying and mingling his bones with its soil and stones. He even confides his secret fears and uncertainties, his longing for his family, and his fear of death at sea. With his consummate skill as a translator of Hebrew poetry and his mastery of Judeo-Arabic culture, Scheindlin provides fresh insights into the literary, religious, and historical facets of Halevi's captivating poetry and fateful journey.

Download or read book Song of Exile written by David W. Stowe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oft-referenced and frequently set to music, Psalm 137 - which begins "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion" - has become something of a cultural touchstone for music and Christianity across the Atlantic world. It has been a top single more than once in the 20th century, from Don McLean's haunting Anglo-American folk cover to Boney M's West Indian disco mix. In Song of Exile, David Stowe uses a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary approach that combines personal interviews, historical overview, and textual analysis to demonstrate the psalm's enduring place in popular culture. The line that begins Psalm 137 - one of the most lyrical of the Hebrew Bible - has been used since its genesis to evoke the grief and protest of exiled, displaced, or marginalized communities. Despite the psalm's popularity, little has been written about its reception during the more than 2,500 years since the Babylonian exile. Stowe locates its use in the American Revolution and the Civil Rights movement, and internationally by anti-colonial Jamaican Rastafari and immigrants from Ireland, Korea, and Cuba. He studies musical references ranging from the Melodians' Rivers of Babylon to the score in Kazakh film Tulpan. Stowe concludes by exploring the presence and absence in modern culture of the often-ignored final words: "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Usually excised from liturgy and forgotten by scholars, Stowe finds these words echoed in modern occurrences of genocide and ethnic cleansing, and more generally in the culture of vengeance that has existed in North America from the earliest conflicts with Native Americans. Based on numerous interviews with musicians, theologians, and writers, Stowe reconstructs the rich and varied reception history of this widely used, yet mysterious, text.
