Book Synopsis The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism by : Michael Laitman
Download or read book The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism written by Michael Laitman and published by Laitman Kabbalah Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism is like no other book you have ever read about Jews, about history, or about anti-Semitism. As its title suggests, it draws a direct link between Jewish unity and a rise in anti-Semitism, including the current wave. Assuming such a correlation is so extraordinary, you could easily brush it off as a provocation were it not documented in hundreds of books, essays, and letters throughout history. Beginning in ancient Babylon and ending in America, Babylon’s modern counterpart, the author masterfully draws parallels and connects the dots of history like none have done before. By the end of the book, you will know the reason for the oldest hatred, how it can be dissolved, and how Jews and non-Jews alike will benefit as a result.

Book Synopsis The Real Role of the Jews by : Michael Laitman
Download or read book The Real Role of the Jews written by Michael Laitman and published by Laitman Kabbalah Publishers. This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Real Role of the Jews is today’s call of the hour sheds light on some of the Jews’ most daunting and mystifying questions: What is our role on this planet? Are we truly “the chosen people”? If we are, what were we chosen for? What is causing anti-Semitism, and can it be cured? Using numerous quotes and references from Jewish sages and historians of all times, the book offers a roadmap for achieving one of the Jews’ most sought-after, yet elusive goals: social cohesion and unity. Indeed, unity is the very gift that the Jews alone can give to the world, and which the world impatiently awaits. When we unite and share our unity with all, then peace, brotherly love, and happiness will forever prevail throughout the world.
Book Synopsis Nietzsche's Jewish Problem by : Robert C. Holub
Download or read book Nietzsche's Jewish Problem written by Robert C. Holub and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive account of Nietzsche's views of Jews and Judaism For more than a century, Nietzsche's views about Jews and Judaism have been subject to countless polemics. The Nazis infamously fashioned the philosopher as their anti-Semitic precursor, while in the past thirty years the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. The increasingly popular view today is that Nietzsche was not only completely free of racist tendencies but also was a principled adversary of anti-Jewish thought. Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem offers a definitive reappraisal of the controversy, taking the full historical, intellectual, and biographical context into account. As Robert Holub shows, a careful consideration of all the evidence from Nietzsche’s published and unpublished writings and letters reveals that he harbored anti-Jewish prejudices throughout his life. Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem demonstrates how this is so despite the apparent paradox of the philosopher’s well-documented opposition to the crude political anti-Semitism of the Germany of his day. As Holub explains, Nietzsche’s "anti-anti-Semitism" was motivated more by distaste for vulgar nationalism than by any objection to anti-Jewish prejudice. A richly detailed account of a controversy that goes to the heart of Nietzsche’s reputation and reception, Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem will fascinate anyone interested in philosophy, intellectual history, or the history of anti-Semitism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish Self-Hatred: The Enemy Within is a groundbreaking exploration of a rarely discussed yet widely felt phenomenon: self-hatred among Jews. From the depths of our history to the present day, this book delves into the complex reasons behind this pervasive phenomenon and its impact on Jewish identity. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of Jewish history and culture, bestselling author Dr. Michael Laitman investigates the roots of self-hatred, explains its prevalence among Jews, and how it is inexorably linked to the antisemitism that has plagued our people throughout history. Drawing on a range of sources and personal experiences, this book offers a compelling new perspective on a subject that has long been shrouded in silence. It verbalizes what we all feel, but few dare to voice. Michael Laitman is the author of over 40 books, translated into dozens of languages. Once a promising young scientist, his life took a sharp turn in 1974 when he immigrated to Israel and began his studies under the Kabbalist, Rav Baruch Shalom Halevi Ashlag (RABASH). Dr. Laitman became RABASH’s successor and continues his legacy to this day. He is a sought-after speaker and has written for or was interviewed by The Jerusalem Post, Huffington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Miami Herald, and Bloomberg TV, among others.

Book Synopsis New Antisemitism by : Michael Laitman
Download or read book New Antisemitism written by Michael Laitman and published by Laitman Kabbalah Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-11 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Jewish Choice and A Very Narrow Bridge, a penetrating and provocative analysis of the rise and threat of the hate that never dies - focusing on an end-game solution that is both ancient and cutting-edge. Why does antisemitism endure and transcend national borders, cultures, and epochs - regardless of how Jews behave or strive to combat it? Whether religious or secular, living in Israel or abroad, living quietly or innovating the world’s great technologies and companies, regardless of what Jews do antisemitism keeps rearing its head - most virulently in times of global crisis as the world is in today. Solutions like improving how Jews are portrayed in the media, policy changes, rallies, and monitoring antisemitic events have all run parallel to the recent meteoric rise in the very hatred they aim to curb. What if the solution lay elsewhere entirely, hiding in plain sight for over two thousand years? A dazzling kaleidoscopic interplay of history, science, and ancient wisdom, New Antisemitism: Mutation of a Long-Lived Hatred is must-reading for anyone who seeks to understand the indefatigable nature of this social virus, and its long-overlooked, practically free solution that lives in the heart of every Jew.
Download or read book The Wicked Son written by David Mamet and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Mamet's interest in anti-Semitism is not limited to the modern face of an ancient hatred but encompasses as well the ways in which many Jews have internalized that hatred. Using the metaphor of the Wicked Son at the Passover seder (the child who asks, "What does this story mean to you?") Mamet confronts what he sees as an insidious predilection among some Jews to exclude themselves from the equation and to seek truth and meaning anywhere--in other religions, political movements, mindless entertainment--but in Judaism itself. He also explores the ways in which the Jewish tradition has long been and still remains the Wicked Son in the eyes of the world. Written with the searing honesty and verbal brilliance that is the hallmark of Mamet's work, The Wicked Son is a powerfully thought-provoking look at one of the most destructive and tenacious forces in contemporary life.
Book Synopsis If I Am Not For Myself by : Ruth R. Wisse
Download or read book If I Am Not For Myself written by Ruth R. Wisse and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1992 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a century, Jews have been identified with liberalism. Not only have they been a driving force behind the spread of liberal politics; they have also been steadfastly loyal to a doctrine that promised them both safety and political acceptance. Recent evidence suggests that their commitment has not waned. But while Jews continue to stand up for other groups and "vote their conscience", contends Ruth Wisse, the liberal commitment to the Jews is not nearly so strong. Whenever Jews have been attacked - from the trial of Captain Dreyfus to the sustained military and political war against Israel - liberals have been slow to defend Jewish rights and have preferred instead to hold the Jews responsible for the persistence of their enemies. The explanation for this liberal default, Wisse argues, is the survival and success of anti-Semitism. This irrational idea continues to flourish throughout the world, despite the destruction of the fascist and communist regimes that were its deadliest twentieth-century allies. Wisse points out that anti-Semitism's astonishing resilience has put liberals - including liberal Jews - in an impossible position. The only reasonable response to such a doctrine, Wisse insists, is not appeasement or avoidance, but steadfast confrontation and rejection. Yet such opposition is alien to liberal ideas of open-mindedness and strikes many as intolerant. Unwilling to suspend their optimistic view of man as a benevolent and rational being in order to combat a mortal enemy, most liberals - including many Jews - conclude that Jews themselves must be responsible for the continuing wars against them - thus implicitly condoning their sacrifice. Wisse's book, inspired by afriend's emigration to Israel, traces the Jewish romance with liberalism from its discovery by Jewish integrationists and Zionists to the acceptance today by many Jews of a moral equivalence between Zionism and the war against it. She also explores, among the many contradictions of modern Jewish politics, the ambiguous question of Jewish "chosenness", and the Jewish longing for acceptance in a larger human family; the successful Arab war of ideas against Israel; and the dilemma of Jewish writers and intellectuals who wish to transcend their parochializing siege. Above all, she shows how and why anti-Semitism became the twentieth century's most successful ideology and reveals what people in liberal democracies would have to do to prevent it from once again achieving its goal.
Book Synopsis The Chosen Wars by : Steven R. Weisman
Download or read book The Chosen Wars written by Steven R. Weisman and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An important beginning to understanding the truth over myth about Judaism in American history” (New York Journal of Books), Steven R. Weisman tells the dramatic story of the personalities that fought each other and shaped this ancient religion in America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The struggles that produced a redefinition of Judaism illuminate the larger American experience and the efforts by all Americans to reconcile their faith with modern demands. The narrative begins with the arrival of the first Jews in New Amsterdam and plays out over the nineteenth century as a massive immigration takes place at the dawn of the twentieth century. First there was the practical matter of earning a living. Many immigrants had to work on the Sabbath or traveled as peddlers to places where they could not keep kosher. Doctrine was put aside or adjusted. To take their places as equals, American Jews rejected their identity as a separate nation within America. Judaism became an American religion. These profound changes did not come without argument. Steven R. Weisman’s “lucid and entertaining” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) The Chosen Wars tells the stories of the colorful rabbis and activists—including Isaac Mayer Wise, Mordecai Noah, David Einhorn, Rebecca Gratz, and Isaac Lesser—who defined American Judaism and whose disputes divided it into the Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox branches that remain today. “Only rarely does an author succeed in writing a book that reframes how we perceive our own history. The Chosen Wars is...fascinating and provocative” (Jewish Journal).

Book Synopsis Unity and Diversity in Contemporary Antisemitism by : Jonathan G. Campbell
Download or read book Unity and Diversity in Contemporary Antisemitism written by Jonathan G. Campbell and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book springs from the Bristol–Sheffield Hallam Colloquium on Contemporary Antisemitism at the University of Bristol in September 2015. International experts in Religious Studies, Law, Politics, Sociology, Psychology, and History came together to examine the complexities of contemporary antisemitism. Recent attacks on Jews in European cities have increased awareness of antisemitism and, as this collection shows, such attacks cannot be separated from wider geopolitical and ideological factors. One distinct feature of antisemitism today is its demonization of the State of Israel. Older ideas also feature Jews being blamed for all the world’s ills, thought to possess almost supernatural levels of power and wealth, and conspiring to harm the non-Jewish other. These and other ideas forming the background to antisemitism in Europe and North America are unpacked in this book with a view to understanding—and thereby combating—contemporary antisemitism. A key concern is how unifying features might be isolated amid the diverse manifestations of this oldest of hatreds.

Book Synopsis The Invention of the Jewish People by : Shlomo Sand
Download or read book The Invention of the Jewish People written by Shlomo Sand and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical tour de force that demolishes the myths and taboos that have surrounded Jewish and Israeli history, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a new account of both that demands to be read and reckoned with. Was there really a forced exile in the first century, at the hands of the Romans? Should we regard the Jewish people, throughout two millennia, as both a distinct ethnic group and a putative nation—returned at last to its Biblical homeland? Shlomo Sand argues that most Jews actually descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered far across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The formation of a Jewish people and then a Jewish nation out of these disparate groups could only take place under the sway of a new historiography, developing in response to the rise of nationalism throughout Europe. Beneath the biblical back fill of the nineteenth-century historians, and the twentieth-century intellectuals who replaced rabbis as the architects of Jewish identity, The Invention of the Jewish People uncovers a new narrative of Israel’s formation, and proposes a bold analysis of nationalism that accounts for the old myths. After a long stay on Israel’s bestseller list, and winning the coveted Aujourd’hui Award in France, The Invention of the Jewish People is finally available in English. The central importance of the conflict in the Middle East ensures that Sand’s arguments will reverberate well beyond the historians and politicians that he takes to task. Without an adequate understanding of Israel’s past, capable of superseding today’s opposing views, diplomatic solutions are likely to remain elusive. In this iconoclastic work of history, Shlomo Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel’s future.
