The Future Jew
Author: Michael Carin
Publisher: MRW Press
ISBN: 9780968856901
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Views the Holocaust as a pivotal event in history and concludes that God does not exist. Argues for a secular humanistic Judaism of "the future Jew." Holocaust memory is central to this vision, which aims at preventing another holocaust or any other genocide. Presents an example of a Holocaust "seder" and stresses that every day should be Holocaust Day. States that antisemitism is a constant in history and, despite the utopian rationality- and science-based humanism espoused, expresses a commitment to cut off the hands of any antisemitism that threatens before it can harm the Jews. This combination of humanism and perpetual memorializing of the Holocaust is seen as giving some redemptive meaning to the Holocaust. Much attention is paid to arguing that God's failure to save the Jews proves His non-existence.

Future Israel
Author: Barry E. Horner
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 0805446273
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Future Israel: Why Christian Anti-Judaism Must Be Challenged is volume three in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE & THEOLOGY (NACSBT) series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons. Author Barry E. Horner writes to persuade readers concerning the divine validity of the Jew today (based on Romans 11:28), as well as the nation of Israel and the land of Palestine, in the midst of this much debated issue within Christendom at various levels. He examines the Bible's consistent pro-Judaic direction, namely a Judeo-centric eschatology that is a unifying feature throughout Scripture. Not sensationalist like many other writings on this constantly debated topic, Future Israel is instead notably exegetical and theological in its argumentation. Users will find this an excellent extension of the long-respected NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY.

The Future of the German-Jewish Past
Author: Gideon Reuveni
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 1557537291
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Germany’s acceptance of its direct responsibility for the Holocaust has strengthened its relationship with Israel and has led to a deep commitment to combat antisemitism and rebuild Jewish life in Germany. As we draw close to a time when there will be no more firsthand experience of the horrors of the Holocaust, there is great concern about what will happen when German responsibility turns into history. Will the present taboo against open antisemitism be lifted as collective memory fades? There are alarming signs of the rise of the far right, which includes blatantly antisemitic elements, already visible in public discourse. The evidence is unmistakable—overt antisemitism is dramatically increasing once more. The Future of the German-Jewish Past deals with the formidable challenges created by these developments. It is conceptualized to offer a variety of perspectives and views on the question of the future of the German-Jewish past. The volume addresses topics such as antisemitism, Holocaust memory, historiography, and political issues relating to the future relationship between Jews, Israel, and Germany. While the central focus of this volume is Germany, the implications go beyond the German-Jewish experience and relate to some of the broader challenges facing modern societies today.

Dear Rabbi is a book for every JewThe book is written for you, my dear Jewish brothers and sisters! You do not need to be a Rabbi to benefit from the book.I have met many rabbis over the years, all had good intentions, but good intentions are not enough. Look around and see what is happening to Jews all around you. They are walking away from our family. Do we want to keep them? Do we care? We can do more, and it does not involve anyone paying any money to anyone.Once you read the book, and if you agree with my perspective, if you think any of the rabbis or others in leadership roles in Jewish organizations that you know would benefit from reading this book, ship them a copy - anonymously if you like. If you think those same people need to hear the message, again and again, recommend the book to others in your community and suggest they do the same. We need to hold our rabbis accountable for doing more for the Jewish people.
