Irene Poe-Duce-Levi (1919) was called to Jerusalem, Israel, in 1948 and has lived there ever since. By using her extensive knowledge of the Semitic roots of God's Word, Irene continues to build bridges between Jews and Arabs. Related to the famous Edgar Allen Poe, Irene uses her God-given talent to bring glory to His name. While Irene has also written many Hebrew poems and songs, this book is a compilation of her English versions.
The purpose of this book is to present a survey of Jewish music to illuminate its special role as a mirror of history, tradition, and cultural heritage. The 27 topical chapters have been placed within a modified chronological perspective to present a historic picture of virtually every important development in Jewish music. The book represents a culmination of several decades of the author's dedicated labor and scholarly study in this field.
Irene Nowell's lively and thoughtful exploration of these poetic and powerful books promises to ignite appreciation and understanding in the hearts and minds of readers. The five books abound with vivid stories of faith. The Song of Songs, dedicated to Solomon, celebrates the wonder of human love. The book of Ruth, a masterpiece of storytelling, tells of two valiant women who move from emptiness to fullness, desolation to redemption. Lamentations, telling of the destruction of Jerusalem, recognizes that the Lord has struck and that only the Lord can heal. Ecclesiastes teaches the futility of vanity and storing up riches. The book of Esther tells the story of a Jewish woman and her uncle who, by their courage and wit, deliver the Jews from threatened genocide. Gathered together and artfully explored, this volume offers readers a wealth of information to inspire deeper understanding of the human journey and God's presence in the lives of those who trust in him.
There is a special bond between a daughter and her father. In this loving memoir, Irene Levy pays tribute to her father, Harry Rubin, who was only fifteen years old when he escaped Russia and fled to America. He soon joined the American Army and made tremendous sacrifices to bring over his parents and his siblings. He was the epitome of a hero and this is the story of the family that survived and was nurtured through his exemplary courage, generosity and love.
