Book Description
Emotion lies at the heart of all national movements, and Zionism is no exception. For those who identify as Zionist, the word connotes liberation and redemption, uniqueness and vulnerability. Yet for many, Zionism is a source of distaste if not disgust, and those who reject it are no less passionate than those who embrace it. The power of such emotions helps explain why a word originally associated with territorial aspiration has survived so many years after the establishment of the Israeli state. Zionism: An Emotional State expertly demonstrates how the energy propelling the Zionist project originates from bundles of feeling whose elements have varied in volume, intensity, and durability across space and time. Beginning with an original typology of Zionism and a new take on its relationship to colonialism, Penslar then examines the emotions that have shaped Zionist sensibilities and practices over the course of the movement’s history. The resulting portrait of Zionism reconfigures how we understand Jewish identity amidst continuing debates on the role of nationalism in the modern world.

Song of Solomon
Author: Dr. Bonnie L. Westhoff
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512740942
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
The Book of First Kings 4:32 says that Solomon wrote 1005 songs. A song is poetry like the Psalms that were sung to bring forth a message from God. God deemed this song important enough to keep it in His manual, the Bible. The Books of First and Second Samuel are the historical books of David, but His love and emotions for God were written in his Psalms. Likewise, the Book of Revelation is a historical book of the bride of Christ, but the Song of Solomon is the love and emotions of Christ and His bride. This book is being published at the same time as Revelation to be companion books with the same overview. God desired a people who would be adopted into His kingdom. Christ would redeem every person who would acknowledge the plan of God to become children of the Most High God. The Bible was inspired by God (2 Tim 3:16). The Book of Song of Solomon shows the love of the Lord Jesus to His bride, the Church, who is called Shulamite. Shulamite in Hebrew is the feminine noun for Solomon. Solomon in Hebrew is shalom meaning peace unto wholeness. This wholeness comes from a relationship with the Lord which is offered to everyone, male or female, Jewish or Gentile (non-Jewish). Do not think of Solomon in this book as the king, for he too is a believer in the Lord, so therefore He too can be the Shulamite. This is not a picture of Solomons love for a woman, but instead the story of how Solomon came to love the Lord and grow spiritually throughout His life. Both Books (Revelation and Song of Solomon) are actually a symbolic picture of the Ancient Jewish Wedding. The bride is the Church, and therefore, seen as female, yet we know that God is identified as being present in both male and female. Therefore, Solomon is writing as a believer growing in his walk with the Lord. Song of Solomon, like all books in the Old Testament, point to Jesus. It cant be about Solomon and his love for a woman; IT HAS TO BE ABOUT JESUS. Therefore, it shows how a believer grows in their relationship with Jesus. The Jewish wedding takes us from the first time we see Jesus in the spirit and are engaged (salvation) to the time we see Jesus face to face in marriage (our resurrection) to the time we return with Christ to rule and reign as His wife (Millennium) to the time we live in the new heaven and earth (eternity). The intention of this book is to experience in the spirit the life of the believer growing in our knowledge and relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Wind’s Song
Author: Joan Zawatzky
Publisher: BookPOD
ISBN: 0645506214
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
The Wind’s Song looks at the hidden spaces between who we are, and who we think we are, what we believe and what we know. When twenty-five-year-old architect Josef’s beloved grandfather dies and his girlfriend threatens to leave him, he becomes depressed and reluctantly agrees to visit psychologist, Clara. This is the start of a relationship that will change both therapist and client. As Josef struggles to recover from depression, his view of his family’s origins is given a jolt when he discovers that his beloved grandfather lied to him. Josef’s family was not Danish as he believed, but originally from the forests of Bavaria. Neither as he maintained, was his grandfather a member of the Danish Resistance, who saved the majority of their Jewish population during World War Two by ferrying them across the straights to neutral Sweden. After much research, he is horrified to discover that his grandfather was a Nazi, who secretly volunteered to join Hitler’s SS Waffen. Carla is a caring therapist in a state of flux, coasting in a burnt-out marriage and tired from years of counselling, yet her Jewish beliefs, rituals and memories sustain her. Her sessions with Josef initiate thoughts of her past - her father and his family who once lived in Bavaria, only a short distance from Josef’s, in the medieval city of Regensburg. Due to work pressure, she sees little of her children and grandchildren. To revive their empty marriage, her husband, Steve, suggests a trip to Europe. After a brief stay in Paris, Munich and a harrowing visit to the concentration camp at Dachau, they visit Regensburg where with the help of a genealogist, she fills in many gaps about her family history. When they move on to holiday in Crete, the passion of earlier years returns. Discoveries about her roots have made her feel more complete. She makes the important changes of working fewer hours and spends more time with her grandchildren. Though Josef is repulsed by details of his grandfather’s unsavoury wartime activities, with Carla’s support he faces the truth and moves on.
