The Three Blessings
Author: Yoel Kahn
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199706433
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
In the traditional Jewish liturgy, a man thanks God daily for not having been made a gentile, a woman, or a slave. Yoel Kahn traces the history of this prayer from its extra-Jewish origins to the present, demonstrating how different generations and communities understood the significance of these words. Marginalized and persecuted groups used this prayer to mark the boundary between "us" and "them," affirming their own identity and sense of purpose. After the medieval Church seized and burned books it considered offensive, new, coded formulations of the three blessings emerged as forms of spiritual resistance. Book owners voluntarily expurgated the passage to save the books from being destroyed, creating new language and meaning while seeking to preserve the structure and message of the received tradition. During the Renaissance, Jewish women defied their rabbis and declared their gratitude at being "made a woman and not a man." And, as Jewish emancipation began in the nineteenth century, Jews again had to balance fealty to historical practice with their place in the world. Seeking to be recognized as modern and European, early modern Jews rewrote the liturgy to suit modern sensibilities and identified themselves with the Christian West against the historical pagan and the uncivilized infidel. The Three Blessings is an insightful and wide-ranging study of one of the most controversial Jewish prayers, showing its constantly evolving language, usage, and interpretation over the past 2,000 years.

HaShem... The Name

ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Welcome to Hashem... The Name, a book of ancient discovery! Have you ever wondered why God is referred to as God or Lord? Or wondered if God has a name, a personal name. How did our redeemer (Messiah) come to have the name known worldwide in the assemblies today? As children, we accept the traditions of our parents and even pass them down to our children, but what is the truth of our savior's name? As adults, we must investigate with a sincere heart if we truly want to please our Creator. In this book, the investigation has been completed. This author encourages all to verify this research! Hashem... The Name outlines the model of Moshe/Moses, who received the first revelation of the name of the Hebrew God. He then revealed to the Israelites who were in bondage in Egypt and Pharaoh, their captor. This name is not to be forgotten but remembered, spoken, prayed to, and worshipped. Moshe brought the Israelites to Mount Sinai, where our Creator further revealed himself and his instructions written by his finger on stone tablets, today known as the Ten Commandments. Our Creator is holy and looks for his people to follow his direction. In this book, our savior is introduced as King and the Jewish redeemer, echoing our Creator's instructions with better promises. Today, society has wandered and strayed from the Creator. This book will emphasize the basic tenets of the biblical faith of our forefathers. Enemies of the faith tear down these laws from buildings. Our Creator's master plan is to place his laws upon our heart, written in like manner, by the Spirit of the Highest, never to be erased by man.

The Journey to Your Ultimate Self
Author: Rabbi Shmuel Reichman
Publisher: Mosaica Press
ISBN: 1952370736
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
Everyone will agree that a story needs an ending; unless a story goes somewhere, it’s pointless. The purpose of a set-up is to lead toward a conclusion, toward a destination. A story without an ending, without a purpose, is not a story worth telling. The same is true for our lives: we need a destination. We are all part of a larger story, but we’re also writing our own individual stories. Hashem created us in this world with unlimited potential, but that was only the “set-up” ― the beginning of our story. Without a purposeful destination, a clear goal, and a deeper understanding of who we are and who we are meant to be, the set-up lacks true meaning. We need to make this a meaningful journey ― a story of growth, creativity, and contribution. This book is written to help you along your personal journey, to help you become the ultimate version of yourself. As you learn through this sefer, plant the ideas within your mind and soul, and bring them to life. Make your life a meaningful journey, an extraordinary story.

Root Connections in the Torah
Author: Rabbi Tzvi Matisyahu Abrahams
Publisher: Mosaica Press
ISBN: 1937887871
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Lashon hakodesh is not just any language, it is the language with which Hashem created reality. The 22 letters of the aleph beis are the building blocks of the world. Each dibur (utterence) created devarim (things). Furthermore, a word in lashon hakodesh describes the essence of the thing. Each letter has its own innate meaning. Roots are formed through the combination of letters, and they teach us depths we often don't realize exist. What is the connection between Shalach (send) and Shulchan (table)? Dibur (speech) and Midbar (desert)? Or Boker (morning) and Bikur Cholim (visiting the sick)? Beginning with simple questions like these, we learn deep wisdom. This is the language of G-d, the Holy Tongue. It is the bridge which He uses to communicate to us His inner world - the world of His mind and thoughts, so to speak. When understood, Hebrew roots describe the essence of the ideas being discussed - and the essence of life. This original and impressive work explores Hebrew, and takes the reader on an absorbing journey by examining the inter-relationships between family roots, comparing words and unearthing their deeper meanings. In understanding these words, we come to understand ourselves.
