Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The epic story of three young people in first century Israel who find the Holy Ark of the Covenant, and hide it during the Roman Invasion of AD70. The story is at once a romance novel, a spy thriller, and an easy to read history and sociology of their times. Characters include six Roman emperors, particularly Claudius and Nero, as well as the generals who support them, and their women. Included are fascinating insights into the minds of Nero and the Jewish leaders of their time. You’ll live through the Fire of Rome, the destruction of the Temple, the siege at Masada, and the Vesuvius eruption. Central to the theme of the book is the Aqueduct at Caesarea on the Mediterranean Coast and particularly its eighteenth arch.

Subversive Principles

Reflections on Mishnah Avot 1 & 2

By: David H. Aaron

Avot, a tractate in the Mishnah (c. 220 CE), is the single most studied and commented upon Jewish text outside the Hebrew Bible. Commonly published as a stand-alone volume with the title Pirke Avot (“Chapters of the Fathers” or “Ethics of the Fathers”), Avot is also included in Jewish prayer books to encourage group and home study in every form of Judaism. A number of scholarly studies over the past three decades have reconceptualized the historical purpose and stylistic character of tractate Avot, which is unlike any other in the Mishnah. Some scholars have recognized that Avot’s content reflects the ideological positions of an elitist fellowship originally formed according to paradigms established by Greco-Roman schools of philosophy. Subversive Principles furthers the argument that Avot was composed to facilitate the formation of such a fellowship by engaging the analytical insights of Pierre Bourdieu regarding symbolic language and other theorists elucidating the role of exchange theory in religions. This volume explores an ethics of reading and the matter of historical relativism as such concerns influence the historical-critical interpretation of a canonical text.

Documents and Images for the Study of the Gospels

Third Edition

By: David L. Dungan

Since its first appearance in 1980, Documents for the Study of the Gospels has been a welcome and highly regarded sourcebook for the study of the historical environment of the Gospels, introducing religious, philosophical, and literary texts comparable to various aspects of the Gospels and illuminating their genre and the subgenres included in them. In this edition, David R. Cartlidge has added new discoveries (including the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the Gospel of Judas) and already well-known texts (the Res Gestae of Augustus). He has updated the introduction in light of contemporary scholarship and illustrated the texts with a rich repertoire of images from the ancient world and from the cultural reception of the Gospels through centuries of Christian interpretation. The result is an inviting and intriguing treasure that will enrich every students appreciation of the New Testament Gospels and early Christianity.

GIM NIGMA

The Search for GIM NIGMA

By: David Abrahmov

In the year 2020, following the most terrifying event ever, civilization underwent a dramatic change. A mysterious terrorist organization succeeded in stealing the nuclear weapons operating codes from the two superpowers, Russia, and the United States. Without prior warning, the terrorist organization headed by four cruel leaders unleashed nuclear weapons upon the entire continent of Australia, wiping millions of lives off the face of the Earth in just one instant. World civilization faced absolute collapse. The four leaders of the empire threatened the world with continued nuclear attacks on the remaining continents. World leaders had no choice but to capitulate; thus in the year 2020, a great revolution took place, and all citizens of the world who had previously been free, became enslaved to the evil empire and the mega-corrupted army. The year is 2050. Thirty years have passed since the great destruction that so shook humankind. One man stands alone on the slopes of the Alps Mountains screaming with a question “Why?” toward the heavens as he witnesses one of the horrible acts of the terror organization army. The man’s name is Adam Swandon. He leaves his house deciding to go on a journey in quest of the answer to all evil. He resolves to find a solution that would for once and for all bring an end to the age of suffering and enslavement for all humanity. In his journey filled with adventures and challenges, he meets good people who help him to believe in himself and in his unique mission of saving the world from the empire of evil. Adam hears rumors of an ancient, mysterious prophecy telling of a special power called “Gim Nigma” buried somewhere in the world. It is the positive power and is the antidote to all powers of evil. Can one man stand a chance against the evil terror organization? Will Adam succeed to find the mysterious force, “Gim Nigma?” Can humanity be saved from its own self-destruction? What is Gim Nigma? And what will be the real answer to evil?

A Sourcebook of Engaging Tales, Texts & Activities

By: David Arnow, PhD

A guide to help you invigorate your Seder, create lively discussions, and make personal connections with the Exodus story today. For many people, the act of simply reading the Haggadah no longer fulfills the Passover Seder's purpose: to help you feel as if you personally had gone out of Egypt. Too often, the ritual meal has become predictable, boring, and uninspiring. Creating Lively Passover Seders, Second Edition, is an innovative, interactive guide to help encourage fresh perspectives and lively dialogue. With three new chapters, this intriguing Haggadah companion has been revised, updated, and expanded, and offers thematic discussion topics, text study ideas, activities, and readings that come alive in the traditional group setting of the Passover Seder. Each activity and discussion idea aims to: Deepen your understanding of the Haggadah Provide new opportunities for engaging the themes of the Passover festival Develop familiarity with the Exodus story, as well as the life and times of the people who shaped the development of the Haggadah Reliving the Exodus is not about remembering an event long ago, but about participating in a conversation that provides hope and strength for the struggle to make tomorrow a brighter day. With this complete resource, you can create more meaningful encounters with Jewish values, traditions, and texts that lead well beyond the Seder itself.

Why the Jews Rejected Jesus

Why the Jews Rejected Jesus

The Turning Point in Western History

By: David Klinghoffer

Why did the Jews reject Jesus? Was he really the son of God? Were the Jews culpable in his death? These ancient questions have been debated for almost two thousand years, most recently with the release of Mel Gibson’s explosive The Passion of the Christ. The controversy was never merely academic. The legal status and security of Jews—often their very lives—depended on the answer. In WHY THE JEWS REJECTED JESUS, David Klinghoffer reveals that the Jews since ancient times accepted not only the historical existence of Jesus but the role of certain Jews in bringing about his crucifixion and death. But he also argues that they had every reason to be skeptical of claims for his divinity. For one thing, Palestine under Roman occupation had numerous charismatic would-be messiahs, so Jesus would not have been unique, nor was his following the largest of its kind. For another, the biblical prophecies about the coming of the Messiah were never fulfilled by Jesus, including an ingathering of exiles, the rise of a Davidic king who would defeat Israel’s enemies, the building of a new Temple, and recognition of God by the gentiles. Above all, the Jews understood their biblically commanded way of life, from which Jesus’s followers sought to “free” them, as precious, immutable, and eternal. Jews have long been blamed for Jesus’s death and stigmatized for rejecting him. But Jesus lived and died a relatively obscure figure at the margins of Jewish society. Indeed, it is difficult to argue that “the Jews” of his day rejected Jesus at all, since most Jews had never heard of him. The figure they really rejected, often violently, was Paul, who convinced the Jerusalem church led by Jesus’s brother to jettison the observance of Jewish law. Paul thus founded a new religion. If not for him, Christianity would likely have remained a Jewish movement, and the course of history itself would have been changed. Had the Jews accepted Jesus, Klinghoffer speculates, Christianity would not have conquered Europe, and there would be no Western civilization as we know it. WHY THE JEWS REJECTED JESUS tells the story of this long, acrimonious, and occasionally deadly debate between Christians and Jews. It is thoroughly engaging, lucidly written, and in many ways highly original. Though written from a Jewish point of view, it is also profoundly respectful of Christian sensibilities. Coming at a time when Christians and Jews are in some ways moving closer than ever before, this thoughtful and provocative book represents a genuine effort to heal the ancient rift between these two great faith traditions.

Open Wounds

The Crisis of Jewish Thought in the Aftermath of the Holocaust

By: David Patterson

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Open Wounds

The Crisis of Jewish Thought in the Aftermath of the Holocaust

By: David Patterson

In this book, David Patterson sets out to describe why Jews must live -- but especially think -- in a way that is distinctly Jewish. For Patterson, the primary responsibility of post-Holocaust Jewish thought is to avoid thinking in the same categories that led to the attempted extermination of the Jewish people. The Nazis, he says, were not anti- Semitic because they were racists; they were racists because they were anti-Semitic, and their anti-Semitism was furthered by a Western ontological tradition that made God irrelevant by placing the thinking ego at the center of being. If the Jewish people, in their particularity, are "chosen" to attest to the universal "chosenness" of every human being, then each human being is singled out to assume an absolute responsibility to and for all human beings. And that, Patterson says, is why the anti-Semite hates the Jew: because the very presence of the Jew robs him of his ego and serves as a constant reminder that we are all forever in debt, and that redemption is always yet to be. Thus the Nazis, before they killed Jewish bodies, were compelled to murder Jewish souls through the degradations of the Shoah. But why is the need for a revitalized Jewish thought so urgent today? It is not only because modern Jewish thought, hoping to accommodate itself to rational idealism, is thereby obliged to put itself in league with postmodernists who "preach tolerance for everything except biblically based religion, beginning with Judaism," and who effectively call on Jews, as fellow "citizens of the global village," to disappear. It is also because without the Jewish reality of Jerusalem, there is only the Jewish abstraction of Auschwitz, for in Auschwitz the Jews were murdered not as husbands and wives, parents and children, but as efficiently numbered units. If the Jews, Patterson claims, are not a people set apart by "a Voice that is other than human," then the Holocaust can never be understood as evil rather than simply immoral. With Open Wounds, Patterson aims to make possible a religious response to the Holocaust. Post-Holocaust Jewish thinking, confronting the work of healing the world -- of tikkun haolam -- must recover not just Jewish tradition but also the category of the holy in human beings' thinking about humanity.

Revolutionary Hebrew, Empire and Crisis

Revolutionary Hebrew, Empire and Crisis

Four Peaks in Hebrew Literature and Jewish Survival

By: David Aberbach

Until 1948, Hebrew literature was created mostly under the rule of empires, notably those of ancient Mesopotamia, Rome, medieval Islam, and Tsarist Russia. Aberbach argues in this controversial book that several of the most original periods in the history of Hebrew coincided with - and resulted partly from - imperial crisis, involving violence against the Jews and radical shifts in Jewish demography and in the global balance of power. Jewish assimilation in the cultures of the empires was arrested, causing a psychological turn inward and the creation of revolutionary Hebrew literature.

Midrash, Mishnah, and Gemara

The Jewish Predilection for Justified Law

By: David Halivni

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Midrash, Mishnah, and Gemara

The Jewish Predilection for Justified Law

By: David Halivni

An eminent authority on the Talmud offers here an analysis of classical rabbinic texts that illuminates the nature of Midrash, Mishnah, and Gemara, and highlights a fundamental characteristic of Jewish law. Midrash is firmly based on—draws its support from—Scripture. It thus projects the idea that law must be justified. The concept, David Weiss Halivni demonstrates, is at the heart of Jewish law and can be traced from the Bible (especially evident in Deuteronomy) through the classical commentaries of the Talmud. Only Mishnah is—like other ancient Near Eastern law—apodictic, recognizing no need for justification. But Midrash existed before Mishnah and its law served as grounding for the non-justificatory Mishnaic texts. Indeed, Halivni argues, Mishnah was a deviant form and consequently short-lived and never successfully revived, a response to particular religious and political conditions after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. He chronicles the persistence of justificatory Midrash, the culmination of its development in Gemara in the fifth and sixth centuries, and its continuation down through the ages. David Weiss Halivni has given us a lucid and compelling picture of the several modes of rabbinic learning and disputation and their historical relation to one another.

Nationalism, War and Jewish Education

From the Roman Empire to Modern Times

By: David Aberbach

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Nationalism, War and Jewish Education

From the Roman Empire to Modern Times

By: David Aberbach

Nationalism, War and Jewish Education explores historical circumstances leading to the emergence of a Jewish religious school system lasting to modern times and the process by which this system was broken down and adapted in secular form as Jewish nationalism grew in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the Roman period, education became an essential part of rabbinic pacifist accommodation following Jewish defeats, while in the modern period, secular education was associated with nationalism and increasing militancy of emerging states. In both periods there was a revival of Hebrew and the creation of an educational system based on Hebrew texts. Both revivals were responses to anti-Semitism, which pushed large numbers of Jews away from assimilation into the dominant culture to a renewed Jewish national identity. The book highlights the centrifugal and centripetal shifts in Jewish identity, from messianic militarism to pacifism and back. It shows how changes in Jewish education accompanied these shifts. While drawing on historical scholarship for background, this book is essentially a literary study, showing how literary changes at different times and places reflect historical, socio-psychological, economic and political change. Nationalism, War and Jewish Education is original in showing how ancient Jewish education affected modern Jewish society, therefore it is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in Jewish history and literature, education, development studies and nationalism.

Time to Seek, Time to Keep

Commentary on the Torah and Koheles

By: David J. Greenbaum

Twenty years ago I asked a simple question which became the foundation to this book. What makah coincided with Rosh Hashanah when Yisrael was exempt from doing slave labor? That question took over two years to answer and was the first of many that followed. The search for answers that touched all facets of the question taught me to think creatively and find solutions by combining commentaries from the sages into concepts that go beyond what one person said. My experience as an accountant for an international real estate company gave me the tools to see problems often had multiple facets and solutions involved linking diverse concepts together into one comprehensive idea that needed to be presented clearly and concisely. This book gives an understanding to the Torah from a new perspective. Some commentaries are simple while others are linked to other parshas and sefers. I have endeavored to write all the commentaries concisely so the reader wont be confused. This book was written because as Kli Yakar says, these ideas are too precious to lose. Time to Seek, Time to Keep will broaden your understanding of the Torah and introduce you to new ideas to ponder and consider.

Holocaust Hero

The Untold Story and Vignettes of Solomon Schonfeld, an Extraodinary British Orthodox Rabbi who Rescued 4000 Jews During the Holocaust

By: David Kranzler

One of the most remarkable heroes of the Holocaust was Solomon Schonfeld, a young British rabbi who personally rescued thousands of Jews during the tragic decade of 1938-1948. Rabbi of a small Orthodox congregation and pioneer of the Jewish day school movement in London, England, Schonfeld was inspired by Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandl, to get into rescue work. Under the auspices of the Chief Rabbi's Religious Emergency Council, this dynamic and charismatic personality, single handedly brought to England several thousand youngsters, as well as rabbis, teachers, ritual slaughterers, and other religious functionaries. Schonfeld obtained kosher homes, Jewish education, and jobs for his charges. He also created unique mobile synagogues--the first to serve the spiritual and physical needs of the survivors in the liberated areas of Europe. He also tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade the British government to bomb Auschwitz. This fascinating biography, with a focus on his rescue efforts, includes his struggles with the assimilationist Anglo-Jewish leadership, as well as forty vignettes by individuals he rescued.

These Days Will Never Come Back

By: Yohanan Ben David

``Gandhi saw progress in very much the same way that Rabindranath Tagore explained it to Westerners. The West sees progress mainly in material terms-something visual and concrete: once one travelled in horse drawn carriages, now one can fly in planes. But, as Tagore pointed out, the true Eastern mind doesn't see the outward signs. A tree which stands in one place for years also progresses-it is constantly revewing itself but the changes are taking place inside it, unseen. So also it is with man: he truly progresses only when he makes the necessary adjustments within himself-the `know thyself' of Socrates''. This is how the author explains what happened to him. His early life was highly influenced by the western style education he received in Christian boarding schools in India and later in England. He became part of the western concept of progress going for the outer gloss. But Jew-baiting at school and racial discrimination in England forced him back to his Jewish and Indian roots. He made the correction in his inner life while living in a tent in the Negev desert where he wrote this book. From being an admirer of Churchill, be become a follower of Gandhi. He argues in this book that non-violence is the only solution to the crisis in the Middle East.

Indo-Judaic Studies

Some Papers

By: Yohanan Ben David

Indo-Judaic Studies has been gathering momentum ever since India and Israel established full diplomatic relations some ten years ago. It contains hitherto unpublished material gleaned mainly from public and private archives in India and Israel. The author presents Mahatma Gandhi and C.F. Andrews in a new light. He traces the ``lost'' periods of the Bene Israel sojourn in India: their early settlement; the medieval and Moghul periods; and their heyday under the Marathas. The section on Art deals with a fabulous collection that contains Indian miniatures and manuscripts taken by Nadir Shah when he took the Koh-i-noor and the Peacock throne. The diary kept by the Zionist emissary to India in 1936, Dr. Olsvanger, is published in full in English translation together with his correspondence with Pandit Nehru. The reader is introduced to the Papers of Hermann Kallenbach, Gandhiâ€™s soul friend, and gets a peep into Indian and Israeli archives with one document going back to 1826.

Shoah and Torah

By: David Patterson

Shoah and Torah systematically takes up the task of reading the Shoah through the lens of the Torah and the Torah through the lens of the Shoah.The investigation rests upon (1) the metaphysical standing that the Nazis ascribed to the Torah, (2) the obliteration of the Torah in the extermination of the Jews, (3) the significance of the Torah for an understanding of the Shoah, and (4) the significance of the Shoah for an understanding of the Torah.The basis for the inquiry lies not in the content of a certain belief but in the categories of a certain mode of thought. Distinct from all other studies, this book is grounded in the categories of Jewish thought and Judaism—the categories of creation, revelation, and redemption—that the Nazis sought to obliterate in the Shoah.Thus, the investigation is itself a response to the Nazi project of the extermination of the Jews and the millennial testimony of the Jews to the Torah.
