A scholar and a thinker, Dr. Moshe Finkelman emerges as an expert on Jewish faith in his book God Is Not Dead: Man's Pursuit of Faith in Judaism. For the first time since the eighteenth-century's The Path of the Upright of Ramhal, there is a book that describes a system of growth in faith, from the initial level to the ultimate level of knowledge of God, leading to closeness to God. Dr. Finkelman gradually and convincingly takes the reader through steps of growth in faith, leaving no argument unsettled and no subject unexplained. God Is Not Dead: Man's Pursuit of Faith in Judaism conveys messages that resonate with the worldview of a contemporary believer. Finkelman's system of growth in faith gives anyone the ability to create a bond with God. It offers Jews of every level of commitment a clear and accessible path to deepen his or her faith, and to do so by mastering it as the art form that it truly is. Presented as an easy-to-grasp actionable process, this system of growth in faith was inspired by the author's personal religious evolution. He draws mainly from religious and philosophical sources of Judaism, including the teachings of the twelfth-century Jewish philosopher Maimonides, the principles of the eighteenth-century scholar Ramhal, and the beliefs of Yeshayahu Leibowitz, the twentieth-century Israeli intellectual, a leading authority on Jewish faith. The work is further enlivened with anecdotes about both historic figures and everyday people alike. Providing a compelling, achievable blueprint for growth in faith, this fascinating work serves as a timely, essential contribution to contemporary Judaism.

A broad, systematic account of one of the most original and creative kabbalists, biblical interpreters, and Talmudic scholars the Jewish tradition has ever producedRabbi Moses b. Nahman (1194–1270), known in English as Nahmanides, was the greatest Talmudic scholar of the thirteenth century and one of the deepest and most original biblical interpreters. Beyond his monumental scholastic achievements, Nahmanides was a distinguished kabbalist and mystic, and in his commentary on the Torah he dispensed esoteric kabbalistic teachings that he termed “By Way of Truth.”This broad, systematic account of Nahmanides’s thought explores his conception of halakhah and his approach to the central concerns of medieval Jewish thought, including notions of God, history, revelation, and the reasons for the commandments. The relationship between Nahmanides’s kabbalah and mysticism and the existential religious drive that nourishes them, as well as the legal and exoteric aspects of his thinking, are at the center of Moshe Halbertal’s portrayal of Nahmanides as a complex and transformative thinker.
Natan ben Saadyah Harar describes instructions he received from Avraham Abulafia, along with his ecstatic experiences. This gives the book unparalleled importance, as auto-biographical works in Kabbalah are extremely rare. Additionally, he explains in detail many kabbalistic techniques
Rabbi Chananya Weissman is one of the most outspoken pioneers in trying to remedy the current shidduch crisis, and he has written extensively on how current sociological, psychological, and political factors have unfortunately undermined traditional Torah values. Tovim Ha-Shenayim takes a refreshingly candid look at the timeless wisdom in these primary Torah sources, about the fundamental differences between men and women, the different roles and natures that men and women possess, and, ultimately how these differences can be blended together to make a successful team.
This book focuses on Abraham Abulafia's esoteric thought in relation to Maimonides, Maimonideans, and Islamic thought in the line of Leo Strauss' theory of the history of philosophy. A survey of Abulafia's sources leads into an analysis of the esoteric meaning on the famous parable of the three rings, considering also the possible connection between this parable, which Abdulafia inserted into a book dedicated to his student, the 13th century rabbi Nathan the wise, and the Lessing's Play "Nathan the Wise." The book also examines Abulafia's universalistic understanding of the nature of the Bible, the Hebrew language, and the people of Israel (or the Sinaic revelation). The universal aspects of Abulafia’s thought have been put in relief against the more widespread Kabbalistic views which are predominantly particularistic. A number of texts have also been identified here for the first time as authored by Abulafia.
INTRODUCTIONThere are multitudes in the body of Messiah who unfortunately are ignorant or unlearned in regard to the Hebraic roots of the gospel message. This work of the Master was compiled to fill what I believe is a void in the BELIEVING ASSEMBLY concerning the Biblical evidence that the gospel was not conceived in the Gospel of Matthew but rather in Genesis. These pages contain an overview of gospel history and are not intended to focus in on any one particular aspect of it. The reader will receive insight into the different ways and methods which YHUH chose to present the gospel plan to Older Covenant men and women, who where faithful to His purpose. It is the author's aim to portray the missionary zeal of YHUH, as He commissioned His people to take His love to the entire globe.In this book, I pray that the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) will reveal to the reader that YHUH Almighty had a divine plan, preordained, to bring forth salvation to the whole world (Isaiah 52:10). Within the hallowed pages of YHUH's Word is His revelation of how He kept this plan alive throughout man's history. Each individual, each man of YHUH, each fallen angel, each circumstance and each catastrophe pointed to the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20. Renewed Covenant Israel is, in fact, YHUH's last days mechanism to spread the gospel of salvation. Renewed Covenant Israel is the arms, legs and mouthpiece of YHUH, to proclaim the salvation message of the Master, Yahusha the Messiah. Almighty YHUH has entrusted each regenerate child of Messiah to be an ambassador to a lost and dying world. In each portion of Biblical history, YHUH committed the gospel to a chosen few. Its message has always been the same: "Go and teach!" Though there were few, there was always a remnant. The reader will come to understand that the Gospel-Besorah message existed long before Matthew 28:18-20 in the mind of YHUH. This book deals with YHUH's choice of Israel to bring forth the Messiah. We have traced this aspect of man's history beginning in YHUH's Garden, through the patriarch Abraham and through the twelve children of Jacob. Moses and the Exodus were also important, as were YHUH's dealings with Joshua and the Judges. Even Israel's demand for an earthly king became a Messianicly significant event. The reign of David will be covered, as well as Messianic implications finding their fulfillment in the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20.Old Testament types that foreshadow YHUH's salvation in Messiah shall be touched upon. Each Hebrew festival had a significant road to Calvary within its purpose as well and will be covered in a special way. Finally, YHUH's strategy for the way in which the body of Messiah is to carry out YHUH's commission to proclaim the gospel will be outlined. Early Renewed Covenant Israelite history will be traced, along with YHUH's direct commission to Renewed Covenant Israel and the Biblical basis of missions. The post-apostolic age, today's plan for the spreading of the gospel, as well as the individual's all important role in missions will be discussed. The often unpopular topic of Christian anti-Semitism will also be addressed. A concrete blueprint for action will be presented to help the reader overcome the problem of dealing with this touchy subject.Ultimately, the Great Commission and the promised Seed of The Woman existed before Genesis I: 1. May Yahusha enlighten your precious spirit to this marvelous truth. Amen.
