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.

Moses Cordovero's Introduction to Kabbalah
Author: Moses ben Jacob Cordovero
Publisher: KTAV Publishing House, Inc.
ISBN: 9780881254396
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 284
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.

Deborah, a Mother in Israel
Author: Venerable Godwin I Agbo
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781478706892
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 186
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.

War, Memory, and National Identity in the Hebrew Bible
Author: Jacob L. Wright
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108574300
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 297
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.

Deborah's Daughters
Author: Joy A. Schroeder
Publisher:
ISBN: 0199991049
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Joy A. Schroeder offers the first in-depth exploration of the biblical story of Deborah, an authoritative judge, prophet, and war leader. For centuries, Deborah's story has challenged readers' traditional assumptions about the place of women in society. Schroeder shows how Deborah's story has fueled gender debates throughout history. An examination of the prophetess's journey through nearly two thousand years of Jewish and Christian interpretation reveals how the biblical account of Deborah was deployed against women, for women, and by women who aspired to leadership roles in religious communities and society. Numerous women-and men who supported women's aspirations to leadership-used Deborah's narrative to justify female claims to political and religious authority. Opponents to women's public leadership endeavored to define Deborah's role as "private" or argued that she was a divinely authorized exception, not to be emulated by future generations of women. Deborah's Daughters provides crucial new insight into the history of women in Judaism and Christianity, and into women's past and present roles in the church, synagogue, and society.
