A Year with the Sages
Author: Reuven Hammer
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0827617895
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
A Year with the Sages uniquely relates the Sages' understanding of each Torah portion to everyday life. The importance of these teachings cannot be overstated. The Sages, who lived during the period from the fifth century BCE to the fifth century CE, considered themselves to have inherited the oral teachings God transmitted to Moses, along with the mandate to interpret them to each subsequent generation. Just as the Torah and the entire Hebrew Bible are the foundations of Judaism, the Sages' teachings form the structures of Jewish belief and practice built on that foundation. Many of these teachings revolve around core concepts such as God's justice, God's love, Torah, Israel, humility, honesty, loving-kindness, reverence, prayer, and repentance. You are invited to spend a year with the inspiring ideas of the Sages through their reflections on the fifty-four weekly Torah portions and the eleven Jewish holidays. Quoting from the week's Torah portion, Rabbi Reuven Hammer presents a Torah commentary, selections from the Sages that chronicle their process of interpreting the text, a commentary that elucidates these concepts and their consequences, and a personal reflection that illumines the Sages' enduring wisdom for our era.

Sages and Dreamers

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography

Book Description
Reflections by the Nobel-winning philosopher and novelist on the prophets, scribes, and rebbes who comprise the histories and myths of Jewish folklore. Most of these essays were originally given as lectures at the 92nd Street Y in New York, and even in written form they preserve the tone and tempo of extemporary speech. The style is anecdotal rather than scholarly, and Wiesel does not hesitate to bring his opinions to bear.

Pages : 280
Book Description
Sage: a venerable, wise man, judicious; and aromatic plant with grayish-green leaves used as seasoning; the healing plant; the herb of happiness. Lenny and her sister were as close as two sisters could be. Their mother died when Lenny was fourteen, and Lenny took on the role of caretaker, tending her eight-year-old sister and the herb garden their mother left behind. The garden was just about the only thing that brought joy to the desolate farm until a handsome stranger rode through on his way to Missouri. The mysterious man stayed a while to help their pa rebuild the storm-damaged barn, and his presence on the farm led to an event that changed all their lives. Thirty-three years later, Lenny's younger sister receives a mysterious package. When she opens the green velveteen hatbox, the smell of sage overwhelms her. But what's more, she realizes the box contains the missing pieces of her puzzled life. Soon she finds answers and learns that things were not always as they appeared as Lenny's story unfolds before her eyes. Will these discoveries bring closure after all these years? Can sage truly bring the sisters healing and happiness? Set in the beautiful Ozark mountains of Missouri, Sage is a historical novel highlighted by the mighty men and women who forged a wilderness. These early settlers demonstrated courage only surpassed by their determination when faced with a war between the states and the lifelong wars that raged within. Debora Clark and her husband, Jim, enjoy the nature and beauty of the rugged hills, the scenic Ozarks, from their porch swing in Alton, Missouri. They are thankful for their many blessings. Sage is the first book in Debora's series, In the Rugged Hills.
