Book Description
This book explores anti-Jewish violence in Russian-ruled Lithuania. It begins by illustrating how widespread anti-Jewish feelings were among the Christian population in 19 th century, focusing on blood libel accusations as well as describing the role of modern antisemitism. Secondly, it tries to identify the structural preconditions as well as specific triggers that turned anti-Jewish feelings into collective violence and analyzes the nature of this violence. Lastly, pogroms in Lithuania are compared to anti-Jewish violence in other regions of the Russian Empire and East Galicia. This research is inspired by the cultural turn in social sciences, an approach that assumes that violence is filled with meaning, which is ?culturally constructed, discursively mediated, symbolically saturated, and ritually regulated.? The author argues that pogroms in Lithuania instead followed a communal pattern of ethnic violence and was very different from deadly pogroms in other parts of the Russian Empire.

Over the course of our lives, we make many things along the way. We make money, we make friends, we make love, and we make mistakes.

Those unseen nemeses of ours can come in the form of laziness, procrastination, insecurity, depression, and the list goes on. No matter what form our enemies take, we must find inner strength and use it to defeat them so we can move forward and advance to the next chapter of life. In Soup of the Day: Blood of Our Enemies, poet Mickey Moctezuma explores complex situations of difficulty, challenge, and emotion.

Mickey’s poems allow you to enter his subconscious, relate to his plight, process your own feelings, and find catharsis after the many unavoidable traumas of life. Through catharsis comes healing and a bright future.

The Inclusive Bible
Author: Priests for Equality (Organization)
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9781580512138
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 812
Book Description
While this new Bible is certainly an inclusive-language translation, it is much more: it is a re-imagining of the scriptures and our relationship to them. Not merely replacing male pronouns, the translators have rethought what kind of language has built barriers between the text and its readers. Seeking to be faithful to the original languages, they have sought new and non-sexist ways to express the same ancient truths. The Inclusive Bible is a fresh, dynamic translation into modern English, carefully crafted to let the power and poetry of the language shine forth--particularly when read aloud--giving it an immediacy and intimacy rarely found in traditional translations of the Bible. The Inclusive Bible contains both the Old and the New Testaments.
