Book Description
To some, the phrase “Biblical Veganism” is an oxymoron. The idea that a modern dietary trend could be considered biblical poses a problem. After all, several instances in the Bible depict men of God eating animal meat. How then can we take this idea seriously? In this detailed exposition, we will explore common misconceptions about veganism in efforts to sever any confusion. After all, most people who reject biblical veganism only do so out of tradition and have never investigated this matter. Rather, most allow their currently held paradigm of Torah to determine what our Creator originally imagined for humanity. While variation may exist between our definitions of “vegan,” we can all agree on the primary qualification, that vegans abstain from animal meat. Shifting the Torah Paradigm (STP) reinforces the biblical principle that humanity was originally created to consume a garden diet. Among the Torah community, there are some who insist that we must consume the flesh of certain animals to properly obey the commands, namely our instructions for Passover. At the same time, those who abstain from animal flesh contend otherwise, that our Creator never intended for humanity to kill and eat from the animal kingdom, whether it is deemed “clean” or “unclean” by Mosaic law. STP maintains that meat eaters have neglected the context by which the entire sacrificial system was instituted. Moreover, the purpose of this book is to explore this unseen storyline by investigating how sacrifice entered the picture and to understand why Yeshua neither taught nor observed this aspect of Torah.

Mei Hashiloach: A Hebrew-English Translation of the Hasidic Commentary on the Torah by the Ishbitzer Rebbe
Author: Mordechai Yosef Leiner
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN: 9781796252323
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Even before its original publication in 1860, the Mei HaShiloach was attacked by Hasidic groups in Poland; attempts were even made to sabotage the press on which it was being printed. Izbicy is sometimes referred to as 'New Age Hasidism', a tribute to its radical modernity. Rabbi Mordechai Yosef stressed personal responsibility in attaining true spiritual growth and self-knowledge. Throughout the Mei HaShiloach one finds strong currents compelling us to focus on our selfhood, individuation, truth, identity, and transcendence, and inviting us to re-examine our sin, failure, and despair in the light of his unique and radical philosophy. In his reading of the personalities in the Biblical narratives, the Izbicy explores their choices, doubts, and compulsions in a way that seems startling modern, and was extraordinary for its time - and even for ours. He devoted uncommon attention to emotions, human relationships, and intimacy.Rabbi Worch's meticulously annotated translation opens up all the nuances of Rabbi Mordechai Yosef's elusive world, providing full access to his weltanschauung. This translation empowers the reader to enter the Mei HaShiloach on its many different levels - intellectual, emotional, and psychological.

The Politics of Torah
Author: Alan L. Mittleman
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438413351
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Founded in Germany in 1912, Agudat Israel was the first comprehensive, international political movement among Orthodox Jews. This study examines the forces that led to its formation, setting its history into the context of both the millennial Jewish political tradition and the Jewish struggle with the disenchanting effects of modernity. Mittleman shows that from its formation to the present, Agudah has represented the political interests of the most traditional members of the Jewish community. This book addresses the question of why such arch-traditionalists turned to politics, examines in detail the conflicts that shaped the movement's character, and explores the movement's relationship with prior expressions of Jewish political thought and practice.

Targum Chronicles and Its Place Among the Late Targums
Author: Leeor Gottlieb
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900441763X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 599
Book Description
Targum Chronicles and Its Place Among the Late Targums heralds a paradigm shift in the understanding of many of the Jewish-Aramaic translations of individual biblical books and their origins. Leeor Gottlieb provides the most extensive study of Targum Chronicles to date, leading to conclusions that challenge long-accepted truisms with regard to the origin of Targums. This book’s trail of evidence convincingly points to the composition of Targums in a time and place that was heretofore not expected to be the provenance of these Aramaic gems of biblical interpretation. This study also offers detailed comparisons to other Targums and fascinating new explanations for dozens of aggadic expansions in Targum Chronicles, tying them to their rabbinic sources.
