Jewish Megatrends
Author: Sid Schwarz
Publisher: Jewish Lights Publishing
ISBN: 1580236677
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Visionary solutions for a community ripe for transformational change--from fourteen leading innovators of Jewish life. "Jewish Megatrends offers a vision for a community that can simultaneously strengthen the institutions that serve those who seek greater Jewish identification and attract younger Jews, many of whom are currently outside the orbit of Jewish communal life. Schwarz and his collaborators provide an exciting path, building on proven examples, that we ignore at our peril." --from the Foreword The American Jewish community is riddled with doubts about the viability of the institutions that well served the Jewish community of the twentieth century. Synagogues, Federations and Jewish membership organizations have yet to figure out how to meet the changing interests and needs of the next generation. In this challenging yet hopeful call for transformational change, visionary leader Rabbi Sidney Schwarz looks at the social norms that are shaping the habits and lifestyles of younger American Jews and why the next generation is so resistant to participate in the institutions of Jewish communal life as they currently exist. He sets out four guiding principles that can drive a renaissance in Jewish life and gives evidence of how, on the margins of the Jewish community, those principles are already generating enthusiasm and engagement from the very millennials that the organized Jewish community has yet to engage. Contributors--leading innovators from different sectors of the Jewish community--each use Rabbi Schwarz's framework as a springboard to set forth their particular vision for the future of their sector of Jewish life and beyond. CONTRIBUTORS: Elise Bernhardt - Rabbi Sharon Brous - Sandy Cardin - Dr. Barry Chazan - Dr. David Ellenson - Wayne Firestone - Rabbi Jill Jacobs - Anne Lanski - Rabbi Joy Levitt - Rabbi Asher Lopatin - Rabbi Or N. Rose - Nigel Savage - Barry Shrage - Dr. Jonathan Woocher

Key to the Locked Garden
Author: Simcha H. Benyosef
Publisher: Menorah Books
ISBN: 9781940516790
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Key to the Locked Garden offers the reader teachings and instructions for Shabbat observance that once were available only to an elite few. The book is based on the teachings of Rabbi Moses Luria zt'l, a descendant of Rabbi Isaac Luria, the holy Ari z'l, and a Chasidic master of our times who brought divine service to an experiential level. The author, who asked by Rabbi Luria to make his teachings available in English, advises that Rabbi Luria once confided to Rabbi Yoel Benharrouche, one of his close talmidim, that he came to the world to transmit through his writings the teachings of the Inner Torah that the holy Ari z"l was unable to complete due to his untimely death.The teachings of the Ari z'l have their origin in the Zohar. Rabbi Moses Luria's explanations shed further light upon the complex teachings of the holy Zohar and of the Ari z'l, adding allegorical explanations based on human relationships that enable one to relate to these lofty concepts. The author's intention was to further amplify these teachings in order to make them available, not only to Torah scholars able to grasp the original writings, but to all the Community of Israel. Rabbi Moshe Schatz, in his approbation to the book, notes, "Benyosef so brilliantly brought the Kabbalistic concepts to life, particularly for the layperson, that even a Kabbalist who is familiar with them will find much that is new to him in reading this book."In the words of Benyosef, "Upon starting to write this book my intention was to share with the reader that spiritual darkness is an optical illusion and that all we need to do to dissolve it is to draw to ourselves the Shabbat consciousness. When the Shabbat Queen takes leave of us at the end of Shabbat, most of the Shabbat consciousness leaves as well. Key to the Locked Garden transmits the teachings of the Torah's Inner dimension as revealed by the holy Zohar, teaching us how to unlock our inner garden, draw the Shabbat consciousness to ourselves, and retain it during the weekdays."

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
Author: Ilan Pappe
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1780740565
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 471
Book Description
The book that is providing a storm of controversy, from ‘Israel’s bravest historian’ (John Pilger) Renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking work on the formation of the State of Israel. 'Along with the late Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history.' NEW STATESMAN Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint. Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called 'ethnic cleansing'. Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel’s founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East. *** 'Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.' JOHN PILGER 'Pappe has opened up an important new line of inquiry into the vast and fateful subject of the Palestinian refugees. His book is rewarding in other ways. It has at times an elegiac, even sentimental, character, recalling the lost, obliterated life of the Palestinian Arabs and imagining or regretting what Pappe believes could have been a better land of Palestine.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'A major intervention in an argument that will, and must, continue. There's no hope of lasting Middle East peace while the ghosts of 1948 still walk.' INDEPENDENT

The Palestine Nakba
Author: Nur Masalha
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 184813973X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
2012 marks the 63rd anniversary of the Nakba - the most traumatic catastrophe that ever befell Palestinians. This book explores new ways of remembering and commemorating the Nakba. In the context of Palestinian oral history, it explores 'social history from below', subaltern narratives of memory and the formation of collective identity. Masalha argues that to write more truthfully about the Nakba is not just to practise a professional historiography but an ethical imperative. The struggles of ordinary refugees to recover and publicly assert the truth about the Nakba is a vital way of protecting their rights and keeping the hope for peace with justice alive. This book is essential for understanding the place of the Palestine Nakba at the heart of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the vital role of memory in narratives of truth and reconciliation.
