From Ideology to Liturgy
Author: Eric Caplan
Publisher: Hebrew Union College Press
ISBN: 0878207031
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
In the 2002 edition of From Ideology to Liturgy, Eric Caplan examined Reconstructionism's interpretation and adaptation of the traditional Jewish liturgy and its creation of new prayer texts to convey and express the movement's changing ideology. Further insight into Reconstructionist liturgy was gained through comparing these prayerbooks to the contemporaneous liturgies of Reform and Conservative Judaism and to the work of Jewish Renewal. In this new supplemented reprint edition, Caplan offers an expansive study of liberal Jewish prayerbooks published in the decades since From Ideology to Liturgy first appeared and revisits his earlier conclusions in light of more recent expanded access to Mordecai Kaplan's diaries and archives.

Soul of a People
Author: Norman M. Chansky
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666710776
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 559
Book Description
Soul of a People is the creative retelling of the Odyssey of the Jewish people traversing the expanse and vicissitudes of their history from the Creation through the Prophets to the birth of a new nation and an Ingathering of a dispersed people. This collection of verses and stories, as seen through a modern eye, provides access to the ongoing struggles of the Jewish people to remain alive and to preserve, embody, and pass down God's message from Mount Sinai. Connecting past with present and future, and anchored in the Jewish imperative to remember, this collection creates a tapestry through time documenting the injustices and the extraordinary acts of courage of everyday heroes. The reader is transformed in the process of remembering through the great struggles of our history--linking each of us one by one from the personal to the collective. Ultimately the triumph of the Jewish people to prevail through adversity is preserved over and over again through our striving to find The Creator in us and in all that we do. Soul of a People invites each of us to recognize and live that connection in our daily lives. In the author's words: "Incomplete we will always be. Striving for the ideal is our destiny."

This Is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared
Author: Alan Lew
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0759528217
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
In this “journey of spiritual transformation” (Publishers Weekly) award winning author Rabbi Alan Lew follows the practices and rituals of the Jewish High Holy Days and guides readers through heartbreak, contemplation, and re-birth. There are times in life when we are caught utterly unprepared: a death in the family, the end of a relationship, a health crisis. These are the times when the solid ground we thought we stood on disappears beneath our feet, leaving us reeling and heartbroken, as we stumble back to our faith. The Days of Awe encompass the weeks preceding Rosh Hashanah up to Yom Kippur, a period in which Jews take part in a series of rituals and prayers that reenact the journey of the soul through the world from birth to death. This is a period of contemplation and repentance, comparable to Lent and Ramadan. Yet, for Rabbi Alan Lew, the real purpose of this annual passage is for us to experience brokenheartedness and open our heart to God. In This is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared, Lew has marked out a journey of seven distinct stages, one that draws on these rituals to awaken our soul and wholly transform us. Weaving together Torah readings, Buddhist parables, Jewish fables and stories from his own life, Lew lays bare the meanings of this ancient Jewish passage. He reveals the path from terror to acceptance, confusion to clarity, doubt to belief, and from complacency to awe. In the tradition of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, This Is Real And You Are Completely Unprepared enables believers of all faiths to reconnect to their faith with a passion and intimacy that will resonate throughout the year.
