By: Irene Gunther

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Palestine, October 1946. In a convoy of trucks and rusting jeeps, nineteen young men and women drive down to the Negev desert under cover of night. Their mission: to create a Jewish settlement in defiance of the British rulers of Palestine. Working in frantic haste, they erect three primitive tin huts and surround them with a barbed wire fence. By the first light of dawn, Kibbutz Noam is born. The story is told through the eyes of Hava Chira, an idealistic young English girl who has left a comfortable middle-class home to go to Palestine as a pioneer. Hava quickly learns the meaning of deprivation--living without running water or electricity or any comforts, virtually cut off from the outside world. In the first turbulent years, she experiences hardship, danger, excitement, even warand develops a deep connection to her new community. Threading through the novel is the story of Havas passion for Amir, a handsome young Israeli resistance fighter who epitomizes her dream. At first she idealizes Amir, but as time goes on, she begins to have doubtsand is faced with an agonizing decision.

Women in the Old Testament

Women in the Old Testament

By: Irene Nowell

The women in the Old Testament, too long invisible, have rich stories that are vital to the on-going revelation of God's relationship with a covenant people. Women in the Old Testament introduces readers to some biblical women. Here, readers meet mothers and wives, queens and slaves, prophets and warriors, powerful women and victims; women whose stories offer us courage and insight. In Women in the Old Testament Sister Irene explores not only the lives of such well-known women as Sarah, Deborah, Ruth, Eve, and Naomi, but also those of lesser-known women such as Michal, Tamar, and Jezebel. Each of these women has unique characteristics; each of their stories is food for our imaginations. In addition, Sister Nowell looks at those Bible stories that tell us what it means to be a woman created in the image of God and that portray God in the image of a woman. Biblical stories help us imagine the relationship of God with human beings, and they give us words to describe our own relationship with God. This introduction to the lives of biblical women encourages readers - in adult study groups and those who are interested in the many women in the Old Testament - to search for more accounts of biblical women and also to find the narrative of faith reflected in the stories of their own lives. Sister Irene begins each chapter with suggestions for readings and includes biblical excerpts. Chapters are: Women of Israel's Beginnings: Sarah and Hagar;" "More Women of Israel's Beginnings: Rebekah, Leah and Rachel, The Maids, Dinah, Tamar;" "Women of Israel's Passover: The Midwives, Moses' Mother, Pharaoh's Daughter, Miriam, Zipporah;" "Women of Israel's Early Tribes: Rahab, Deborah and Jail, Jephthah's Daughter, Samson's Mother, Samson's Wife, Delilah;" "More Women of Israel's Early Tribes: Ruth, Naomi, and Orpah ,Hannah and Peninnah;" "Women of Israel's Monarchy: Michal, Bathsheba, Tamar, Queen of Sheba, Jezebel;" "Woman, The Image of God: Eve, Wisdom/Sophia;" "Women of Courage and Strength: Judith, Susanna;" and "Queen Esther." A bibliography is also included. Irene Nowell, OSB, is the director of community formation for the Benedictine sisters of Mount St. Scholastica in Atchison, Kansas. She is an experienced college and adult education teacher of Scripture and a workshop and retreat presenter. She is the author of Sing a New Song: The Psalms in the Sunday Lectionary, also published by The Liturgical Press. She is also a member of the editorial board for the revised Old Testament of the NAB.

Norway Wasn't Too Small

A Fact-Based Novel about Darkness and Survival

By: Irene Levin Berman

Norway didn't have many Jews—but it had enough to attract Hitler's attention. It’s 1940 in Norway, and one Jewish family would rather be thinking of anything else. Budding artist Rebekka Davidson sketches the soldiers filling the school and streets, while her cousin Harald Rosenberg learns that he’d rather read about Hitler’s politics than experience them. Talented musician Ingrid Rosenberg prepares to go to her dream school while experiencing the wonders of first love—with the nephew of the leader of the local Nazis. Together, the family will do whatever it takes to return to normal life…but will it be enough? By the end of the war, Norway had lost a higher percentage of its Jews than almost any other country in Europe. This story, inspired by the author’s own experience growing up Jewish in 1940s Norway, brings readers both young and old into the touching struggles of one incredible family. Norway wasn’t too small for Hitler, and for some families, it was everything.

Trusting Him in All of Life's Situations

By: Irene Bryan

Life's journey carries one in many directions and through different paths and roads. One does not know what situations one may encounter. But what one does know is God can be trusted to help navigate one through. Situations will come, and that is a fact because Jesus said so. And whatever Jesus said will be so because he is not a liar. It is a comfort to know that when situations come, Jesus will be there to see us through. Situations are not always easy to face, especially when there is a time of waiting. As humans, we often want instant gratification. But that is not how God works. He works through his time and not ours. Trusting him with our situations teaches us how to wait. Waiting requires other things with it, such as faith, hope, and trust. These are the antidote to help us not to become anxious, fearful, discouraged, and worried. These are the things that will consume and prevent us from trusting him when situations come. There are stories in the Bible from the Old and New Testaments that illustrate various situations God's people face. Through these stories, we learn about the struggles and hardships many experienced during their situations. We also gain insight into how his people, such as Joseph, Moses, David, Ruth, Ester, Job, Paul, Silas, and others trusted in God in their situations. They believed that God was able to meet the need of the situation, so they were able to trust in him. And guess what, they were not disappointed. And neither will you if you trust him in all of your life's situations.

Breath of Life

The Role of the Ventilator in Managing Life-Threatening Illnesses

By: Irene S. Gilgoff

Approximately 90 percent of deaths from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) are the result of chronic respiratory failure and/or concurrent respiratory infection. Respiratory failure in neuromuscular diseases is of the restrictive type, resulting from progressive weakness of breathing muscles. The ventilator simply replaces or augments the failed bellows mechanism of the respiratory system. The use of assisted ventilation by individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy has been in effect for the past 25 to 30 years. As in other management issues of DMD, there is, and probably will continue to be, recurrent debate regarding the cost/benefit ratio of various treatment regimes. The authors come to this issue from an emotional, psychosocial, and ethical perspective, as well as a financial point of view. A necessary volume in any library's consumer health collection.

Rich in Love

When God Rescues Messy People

By: Irene Garcia,Lissa Halls Johnson

One Step of Obedience Led to Thousands Irene and Domingo Garcia began their married lives at sixteen, already expecting a baby. Their first ten years together included Domingo’s alcoholism and abuse, and Irene’s desperate prayers for answers. Then a miracle happened: Domingo pleaded for forgiveness. As God healed their marriage, Irene and Domingo adopted a little girl. And a new season began for an imperfect couple who were willing to say yes to each other and to God. Over the past forty-five years, the Garcias have birthed, fostered, or adopted thirty-two children. Their story holds difficult endings as well as promising new beginnings. Above all, their story reminds us what can happen when ordinary people submit to God’s call. Rich in Love is about a family cemented in hope. About a need to love the orphan. And about a God who never, ever gives up.

Aging Is Living

Myth-Breaking Stories from Long-Term Care

By: Irene Borins Ash,Irv Ash

Through the inspirational, wise, and informative stories of the residents, either in their own words or based on interviews, and environmental photographs of each, this book focuses on various residents of long-term care facilities and especially on the positive facets of their life, their thoughts, and their feelings. The only issue that reaches the media about nursing homes is the negative and unfortunate events that sometimes occur, but there is so much more to the story. Most people are afraid of long-term care homes because they recognize that it is the last phase in their life - it is the step before death. But some people have years from the time they enter the home until they die. This book shows how many men and women make the best of their situation - often leaving a positive legacy for family and friends - and how these can be fulfilling and quality years.

The World in an Orange

Creating Theatre with Barney Simon

By: Irene Stephanou,Leila Henriques

Barney Simon (1932–1995) was the legendary artistic director, writer, and co-creator ofthe Market Theatre in Johannesburg, one of the most influential and distinguished theatres in South Africa and the world. He workshopped, wrote, and directed unforgettable and pertinent plays in his quest to "hold a mirror up high to society." These works stand as a testament to South Africa’s recent history. Here are 80 testaments from international artists about Barney’s often mysterious creative process. Barney was especially known for his famous "orange exercise." Through a single orange,he communicated lessons ofdetail,care, and respect. With full-color illustrations throughout, this is an essential book for students and teachers of theatrical expression, and indeed for anyone who strives to understand their own voice. With the passing of a decade of democracy in South Africa, The World in an Orange is a record of the last years of apartheid and the role of the arts community in bringing it down.

Jewish horticultural schools and training centers in Germany and their impact on horticulture and landscape architecture in Palestine / Israel

By: Irene Aue-Ben-David,Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn

Volume 27 of the CGL-Studies – “Jewish Horticultural Schools and Training Centers in Germany and their Impact on Horticulture and Landscape Architecrture in Palestine / Israel“ – presents the results of a symposium which was held in September 2016 at the Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem, jointly organized by the Leo Baeck Institute, the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning of the Technion, Haifa, and the Center of Garden Art and Landscape Architecture of Leibniz University Hannover. The volume presents four main chapters. The first, „Hachsharot in Context“, deals with the context and changing role of Jewish agricultural training in Germany and Hachsharot in the time of the Nazi dictatorship. In the next chapter, „Perceptions of Nature“, ideas of the Jewish youth movement about nature and landscape and the perceptions of nature among Hachshara members are discussed. „Hachsharot in Germany and Palestine“, the third chapter, presents papers on Jewish horticultural training centers in Germany in the regions of Hannover and Berlin/Brandenburg, as well as on Gross-Gaglow, a cooperative Jewish settlement located near Cottbus, and on Kfar Ruppin and Sde Eliyahu, a secular and a religious Kibbutz in Israel, respectively. The papers in the concluding chapter „Beyond Hachsharot“, deal with the lives and work of female Jewish gardeners and garden architects in Vienna, and with the Ahlem memorial and documentation center, established at the site of the former Israelitische Gartenbauschule Ahlem (Jewish Horticultural School Ahlem) in Hannover.

Christ Gives Women Ministries & Not Fasting But Prayer

By: Irene Bonney Faulkes

Women faced abuse for millennia although Eve was made a blessing for all. They were first preachers of the resurrection. Priscilla is noted as pastor with four prophetesses. Then Paul acknowledged many women as apostles and pastors. John wrote to a woman pastor. Difficult verses are shown to have solutions advantageous to women. Christ gave ministry gifts to His people, women alongside men. No distinction is made between them. There is not a verse forbidding women to preach or prophesy. Paul encouraged equality. Fasting is treated culturally, religiously and Jewish fashion. God gave fasting for the Day of Atonement. The Jews introduced other fasts. Nehemiah’s and Isaiah’s fasts are explained. Christendom introduced fasting from Jewry and paganism. Christ’s forty days of temptation when He went without food, sustained by the Spirit, was made examples for others, who to fast, should be and so do like Him. Holy Ghost praying is the answer. He is intercessor through us in other tongues that came in the baptism with the Spirit. God hears and answers supernaturally. Mysteries are spoken and gifts of the Spirit bestowed.

What happens after "happily ever after"? Alice Hirsh is about to find out... Alice, a former New Yorker who thought she'd never feel at home in the bizarre world of the San Fernando Valley, was adapting, raising her 5-year-old daughter while trying to keep her job and make her new house a home. When her attorney husband lands a trophy client – box-office queen Rose Maris – things begin to look up. Then Alex starts working late – a lot. He crunches his paunch into a six-pack and trades his Gap ensembles for Armani everything. Soon, Rose and Alex's affair blazes in the tabloids and Alice is plunged into trash-gossip hell. Her life crumbles around her as she navigates her newly single self through suburban LA --a place rife with porn stars, psycho soccer moms and nutty neighbors. Is there a chance to wrest Alex from the Sexiest Woman Alive? And if so... would Alice want him back? And what about George--her college sweatheart? Or Johnny, a walking charm-bomb paparazzo? As Alice inventories the rubble of her life, she desperately searches for her bearings and is forced to ask herself what she really wants from life, love and herself.

'We Are Going to Pick Potatoes'

Norway and the Holocaust, The Untold Story

By: Irene Levin Berman

Irene Levin Berman was born, raised, and educated in Norway. Her first conscious recollection of life goes back to 1942, when as a young child she escaped to Sweden, a neutral country during World War II, to avoid annihilation. Germany had invaded Norway and the persecution of two thousand Norwegian Jews had begun. Seven members of her father's family were among the seven hundred and seventy-one unfortunate persons who were deported and sent to Auschwitz. In 2005, Irene was forced to examine the label of being a Holocaust survivor. Her strong dual identity as a Norwegian and a Jew led her to explore previously unopened doors in her mind. This is not a narrative of the Holocaust alone, but the remembrance of growing up Jewish in Norway during and after WWII. In addition to the richness of both her Norwegian and Jewish cultures, she ultimately acquired yet another identity as an American.

Translating Culture Specific References on Television

The Case of Dubbing

By: Irene Ranzato

Translating Culture Specific References on Television provides a model for investigating the problems posed by culture specific references in translation, drawing on case studies that explore the translational norms of contemporary Italian dubbing practices. This monograph makes a distinctive contribution to the study of audiovisual translation and culture specific references in its focus on dubbing as opposed to subtitling, and on contemporary television series, rather than cinema. Irene Ranzato’s research involves detailed analysis of three TV series dubbed into Italian, drawing on a corpus of 95 hours that includes nearly 3,000 CSR translations. Ranzato proposes a new taxonomy of strategies for the translation of CSRs and explores the sociocultural, pragmatic and ideological implications of audiovisual translation for the small screen.

Marcus Levin worked tirelessly to help Jews before and after the Nazis invaded Norway, and after the war he worked with the American Joint Distribution Committee and organizations in Norway such as the Jewish Social Unit to help find homes and jobs for the few Norwegian Jews who survived the concentration camps as well as about 600 stateless Displaced Persons. In 1962 Marcus Levin was awarded a gold Medal of Honor by King Olav of Norway in recognition of his efforts during World War II.

Sparks in Darkness

By: Irene Sever

Sparks in Darkness is composed of four stories, three of which are interconnected stories that deal with living with blindness. Blindness is addressed in terms of the challenges it presents and the ways in which its limitations are overcome. For example, a blind couple raises their little girl successfully, despite their double handicap. In spite of dire predictions, with the help of relatives and friends all the characters manage to surmount their difficulties. These stories may perhaps shed light on the plight of blind people in the seeing world. The last story, The Haven, is based on the idea of the Ospedale della Piet institution of seventeenth-century Venice. It attempts to underline the role of loving mothers in the healthy development of abandoned and rejected children. In The Haven, the roles played by the mothers and the fathers, such as Dr. Haven and Mike, together create a wonderful environment for unwanted children

Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther

Volume 24

By: Irene Nowell

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.
