Book Description
At a very young age, Deborah began teaching the children in the neighborhood about Moses' Laws and told her mother that some day she would be the judge of Israel. Her mother was not amused. Deborah did become the judge and she asked God for wisdom when a difficult case came to her court. She also warned the Israelites that unless they gave up their idols, they would not see relief from their enemies. When Barak was general of the Israelite army, he insisted that Deborah go with him into battle against the Canaanites. With her faith, he knew they would win. The problems that came up with her work and family didn't always let Deborah have a peacefull life.

Book Description
What kind of a leader does God raise for a nation when the standard of righteousness has taken a free fall? What kind of a leader best suits a people when the moral code among the people is: "you set your own standard"? What kind of a person is best equipped to bring such people back to their God, while stemming the free fall of morality? Did you know that God's answer to these puzzles is a "Mother"? "In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, and the travelers walked along the byways. Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, Until I, Deborah, arose, Arose a mother in Israel." (Judges 5:6-7) The Divine answer to seemingly intractable situations is always amazing. Who would have thought that the Divine response to such a nightmare of situation in a nation was to raise a mother? Not a judge, or king or prophet or wife, but a mother! "Deborah, A Mother in Israel" is a book that explores both the social and spiritual conditions in Israel at a time God raised a woman, Deborah to lead this nation. What was her strategy to restoring this nation back to God? Was she successful? Could the same principle be successful today in our pluralistic, self-centered and godless world? The answers will surprise you.

Book Description
We are women who are passionate about the presence of the Lord and we love to see women's lives change for the better. We, as women of power and influence, love to intercede for people, churches, families, marriages, singles, leaders, and nations and we will not stop until we see manifestation. We are women who bruise the head of satan and are persistent in seeing his kingdom destroyed. We are women who will develop apostolic vision, prophetic insight, and develop the character of Christ Jesus. We are women who will grow in Godly wisdom, understanding, knowledge, interpretation, virtue, integrity, boldness, and confidence because we have stood in the counsel of the Lord. We, as women, will know how to walk as prophetesses, virtuous wives, mothers, intercessors, friends, daughters, women of God, warriors, worshippers, psalmists, and everything that God have called us to be. We, as women, will learn how to walk in love and get along with other women. We, as women, will be delivered, healed, and set free from past hurts and pain and would learn how to love again. We, as women, will accomplish every assignment God has given us and would not compromise our position or let down our standards by tolerating the devil. As for us, as God fearing women with the spirit of Deborah, we will serve the Lord.

Book Description
First published in 1587, Moses Cordovero's now classic introduction to Kabbalah, Or Ne'erav, was intended to serve several purposes; it was meant both to provide a justification for the study of Kabbalah and to encourage that study by providing detailed instructions for interested laymen on how to go about that study; indeed, it was intended as a precis of Cordovero's much larger Pardes Rimmonim. In many ways, Cordovero was ideally suited to compose such a work. His teacher of rabbinics was no other than R. Joseph Caro, author of the Shulhan Arukh, which rapidly became the halakhic code par excellence. His master in Kabbalah was Solomon ha-Levi Alkabetz, whose sister he subsequently married. The result of his studies with both was no less than a kabbalistic "code", a systematic kabbalistic theology of the Zohar, the basic text of Jewish mysticism. But this work was too large, and too complex to be easily mastered. Moreover, it assumed too much previous knowledge to serve as an introduction to the subject; hence the need for Or Ne'erav. Or Ne'erav succeeded in fulfilling all these purposes, and has remained a classic introduction to the study of Kabbalah - and is used as such to this day. Dr. Robinson's accurate but readable translation is the first English rendition of this essential work. -- Back cover.

Book Description
The Hebrew Bible is permeated with depictions of military conflicts that have profoundly shaped the way many think about war. Why does war occupy so much space in the Bible? In this book, Jacob Wright offers a fresh and fascinating response to this question: War pervades the Bible not because ancient Israel was governed by religious factors (such as 'holy war') or because this people, along with its neighbors in the ancient Near East, was especially bellicose. The reason is rather that the Bible is fundamentally a project of constructing a new national identity for Israel, one that can both transcend deep divisions within the population and withstand military conquest by imperial armies. Drawing on the intriguing interdisciplinary research on war commemoration, Wright shows how biblical authors, like the architects of national identities from more recent times, constructed a new and influential notion of peoplehood in direct relation to memories of war, both real and imagined. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Book Description
Taking the terrorist attacks of 9/11 as their starting point, five new essays look at how Jewish culture has changed over the past two decades. Covering music (Vanessa Paloma Elbaz), art (Monica Bohm Duchen), literature (Bryan Cheyette), theatre (Judi Herman) and film (Nathan Abrams), the essays explore the role of confidence in the cultural output of minority communities, and ask whether the trends identified look set to continue over the coming years. Commissioned to mark the twentieth anniversary of Jewish Renaissance magazine, the book includes a foreword by Howard Jacobson and is interspersed with a selection of the best articles from the magazine's archive, including pieces by the director Mike Leigh, author Linda Grant and sociologist Keith Kahn-Harris.
