Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Spring Holiday that celebrates the exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt is commmonly translated as 'Passover,' a reminder that God 'passed over' the homes of the Israelites as He brought the last of the Ten Plagues upon the Egyptians. So the Bible has always been read in the West. In this new and ground breaking study, Flashman first demonstrates that this was probably not the original meaning of the Holiday. Rather, the Biblical account is of Divine 'Protection' of the Israelites from the plague. In a fascinating display of historical and lilnguistic scholarship, Flashman argues that the transition from 'Protection' to 'Passover' can be plausibly related to the destruction of the Second Temple. Flashman relates this tale of half a millenium with unique clarity and appeal for the nonspecialist. Finally, a discussion of the meaning of the Holiday for our time, and a previously untranslated text of Rabbi Kuk promise the reader a new and deepened appreciation for this most dramatic of Jewish festivals. As a bonus, it is argued that 'Protection' and not 'Passover' was the meaning of the 'Last Supper' of the Gospels. 128 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Are You Grateful for Being Given the Gift of Life ' This is the title of the first piece in this book, where Lev Hakak addresses the reader with a question to remind us how the central discourses of early first century CE spiritual leaders are still relevant to all of us today. He proceeds to point out the beauty of nature that we are handed freely as part of the gift of life. Lev Hakak points out the grandeur of 'Cinderellas' that reached the highest positions, and those modest 'Cinderellas' who live outside the limelight, who do not seek recognition even though they are major contributors to the beauty and betterment of the world. They remind him of the colors that fade into the unseen spectrums of vision that are part of every rainbow. Pain and suffering and calamities are part of the gift of life. Grief-stricken people search for God, and if they don't perceive a response, they may become despondent and rebel against reality. Nevertheless, we are appreciative of the gift of life. Lev Hakak reminds us not only of the desire to live longer life that our modern culture often fixates on but also to continue enjoying and savoring life through fulfilling and meaningful work. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this collection of poems, Rabbi Bernstein-Goff invites you to laugh, cry, kvetch and kvell as he celebrates a lifetime of encountering unforgettable characters, both real and imaginary, along with his perceptions and insights into events and issues that defined the 20th century. Some of these poems like Doors of Perception deal with encountering ones' death in the course of a psychedelic experience, which in turn evokes the memory of the last significant words his father spoke before his death ten years later. The rabbi shares his memories of how confronting one's own death can be a healing experience, and shares with the reader insights into the painful, sometimes funny ways by which we acquire the elusive skill of learning how to lose. Other poems like Hedi Schiff and Swords in the Sanctuary present the reader with a very Jewish Jesus who desperately wants to reconnect with family and friends. The poems also reflect many of the issues and problems the author struggled with from childhood on: Jewish identity, Jewish and Christian relations, antisemitism, Zionism, and the never-ending questions of meaning and purpose. 124 pp. Englisch.…
