"In Norman Fischer's translation, the words of the Psalms are clothed in renewed beauty - clear, uncompromising, shining with devotion."-Jack Kornfield, author of After the Ecstasy, the Laundry A week with the Trappist monks of Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky left Norman Fischer feeling inspired by the uplifting, soaring verses chanted each day, but also astonished by the violence, passion, and bitterness expressed. This experience started him on a journey through Eastern and Western spirituality and his own Jewish roots toward these moving and intimate translations of the Psalms. In ninety-three poems of praise, celebration, suffering, and lamentation, Opening to You brings the Psalms alive, conveying their beauty and power in accessible English for today's readers of every spiritual path or religious background and transforming the sacred songs into the timeless music of enlightenment.

CaBALA / AUTOAYUDA "Una exploracion brillantemente expuesta del escurridizo misterio de los suenos y la imaginacion, y de como estos se desenvuelven a ambos lados del velo que separa la realidad de la fantasia." --Rabino Gershon Winkler, autor de Kabbalah 365: Daily Fruit from the Tree of Life [Cabala 365: Un fruto del arbol de la vida para cada dia] "Catherine Shainberg es una maestra de gran profundidad espiritual que nos recuerda que sonar no solo tiene que ver con lo que hacemos al dormir, sino con el despertar a una vida mas trascendente cuando evocamos nuestro proposito sagrado y adoptamos un rumbo a partir de el." --Robert Moss, autor de Dreamways of the Iroquois: Honoring the Secret Wishes of the Soul [Senderos oniricos de los iroqueses: Como satisfacer los deseos secretos del alma] "Shainberg nos guia a traves de la madeja de posibilidades del crecimiento interior por medio del trabajo de ensueno, proponiendo fascinantes ejercicios que abren la mente y el corazon. La autora transita por un sendero de gran belleza." --Rodger Kamenetz, author de The Jew in the Lotus [El judio en el loto] En La cabala y el poder de sonar, Catherine Shainberg expone practicas esotericas que nos permiten desbloquear los poderes transformativos e intuitivos de la mente cuando sonamos. Se trata de practicas utilizadas por profetas, videntes y sabios de la antiguedad para controlar los suenos y las visiones. Shainberg se basa en la antigua tradicion cabalistica sefardi de los suenos que nos lego el renombrado cabalista del siglo XIII Isaac el Ciego, asi como en relatos y mitos ilustrativos de toda la region mediterranea, para ensenar a los lectores a benefciarse del poder intuitivo de sus suenos. Si bien la Biblia hebrea y nuestra tradicion esoterica occidental nos dan amplias evidencias de las ensenanzas de los suenos, rara vez se ha expuesto con claridad el camino que conduce a los suenos conscientes. Shainberg nos muestra que sonar no es un fenomeno que simplemente sucede mientras dormimos, sino que sonamos en todo momento. Al ensenar a la mente consciente a estar despierta durante el sueno, y a la mente ensonadora a manifestarse en la conciencia diurna, seremos capaces de revolucionar nuestra conciencia. Los ejercicios de vision interior propuestos por la autora estimulan imagenes creativas y transformativas que van defniendo los senderos a la autorrealizacion. CATHERINE SHAINBERG, Ph.D., es psicologa, sanadora y maestra, y tiene su propia consulta privada en Nueva York. Dedico diez anos a un intenso estudio de la cabala de la Luz en Jerusalen con la estimada cabalista Colette Aboulker-Muscat y luego dedico veinte anos mas a seguir colaborando con ella. En 1982 Catherine Shainberg fundo la Escuela de las Imagenes, dedicada a la ensenanza de tecnicas de sueno revelador e intencion (kavana) de esta antigua tradicion cabalistica sefardi. Realiza talleres internacionales de imagineria y suenos.

La Cábala, término hebreo que significa "recibir", representa una tradición ancestral que se ha perpetuado a lo largo de los tiempos, manteniendo su relevancia para todas las culturas y épocas. Esta perpetuidad se asegura a través de sus estructuras fundamentales, como el Árbol de la Vida y la Escalera de Jacob, que salvaguardan su esencia contra la distorsión.Históricamente, el estudio de la Cábala se mantuvo en secreto, un hecho que subraya su nombre, relacionado con lo oculto y el misterio. Sin embargo, con la llegada del siglo XXI, esta sabiduría es ahora accesible a nivel global, atrayendo a una variedad de grupos con distintas interpretaciones.A pesar de las diferencias, es esencial reconocer que la diversidad de enfoques forma parte de la riqueza de la Cábala, permitiendo a cada individuo encontrar el camino que más resuene con su ser. La presencia del Árbol de la Vida en estas enseñanzas actúa como un pilar fundamental, indicativo de una comprensión auténtica de la Cábala.La estructura de la Cábala, similar a un esqueleto en el reino animal, subraya la unidad subyacente de toda la creación. Esta enseñanza enfatiza la igualdad fundamental de todos los seres, independientemente de diferencias superficiales, pues en su núcleo, todos compartimos la misma esencia divina. La Cábala, en su esencia, busca la revelación del alma y el espíritu, aspectos de nuestro ser que trascienden las divisiones terrenales.Esta obra no solo comparte conocimientos, sino que también refleja aprendizajes obtenidos a través de vivencias intensas, desde desafíos personales hasta superación de adversidades, demostrando el poder curativo de la Cábala. "Incurable" se interpreta aquí como una invitación a encontrar la curación desde dentro.En este recorrido, dejaremos de lado aspectos más dogmáticos o exclusivos de ciertas tradiciones, concentrándonos en cómo la estructura milenaria de la Cábala puede adaptarse a las necesidades contemporáneas, independientemente de las creencias o culturas individuales. La Cábala se presenta como un recurso inclusivo, diseñado para beneficiar a todos los que se acerquen a ella con apertura.Neville Jung

Das Zählen der 49 Tage zwischen dem jüdischen Pessach-Fest und dem Wochenfest Schawuot (Pfingsten) am 50. Tag, die sogenannte Omer-Zeit, ist in der Tora geboten (Lev 23,15-16) und wird im Judentum bis heute praktiziert. Die jüdische Mystik (Kabbala) nutzte diese Zeit, um spirituelles Wachstum anzuregen. Beim Zählen der Tage während des Getreide-Wachstums solle man nicht nur im Kopf Tage zählen, sondern diese Tage mit besonderer Achtsamkeit erleben. Dieser Omer-Kalender will dazu helfen, die 49 Tage achtsam zu gestalten. Er bietet für jeden Tag den Lobspruch zur Zählung des Omer, die Angabe des Tages und der Sefira des Tages nach der klassischen jüdischen Mystik, eine Meditation passend zum Thema des Tages, einen Satz des Tages, Anregungen zum persönlichen Nachdenken und eigenen spirituellen Wachstum, sowie Raum für Notizen. Die sieben Wochen werden unterteilt mit ganzzeitigen, stimmungsvollen Photos zum Thema Getreidewachstum.Das Buch gibt einen Einblick in eine im Judentum typische, aber im deutschen Sprachraum noch wenig bekannte Tradition von Mussar (spirituelles Wachstum) und Mystik.

"In When You Want to Yell at God, Craig Bartholomew asks us to let go of the Job we know so we can get to know the real man. Job's story refutes the idea that "what goes around comes around." Suffering is not always the result of wrong behavior, and right behavior does not always guarantee blessing: but God is always faithful. Looking at Job as the height of biblical poetry, Bartholomew helps us see just how beautiful and touching this man's struggle with God really is."--Cover.

King Hezekiah of Judah unfolds in unprecedented detail the incredible, eventful life of King Hezekiah, full of faith, grace, and miracles. It comprehensively illuminates the person, the king, the man Hezekiah in his personal defeats and his victories in faith with God. In addition, this book proves the credibility of the biblical accounts through extensive analysis and reflection, as well as brand-new, startling insights. The chronology of the kings of Israel, which has been disputed for centuries, is given a special framework. Here it is now shown that all the biblical dates of this period can be harmoniously fitted into the dating of extra-biblical sources and events that are considered certain.From the first page to the last, however, this book does not fail to find repeated applications and deductions for our Christian life today. After studying King Hezekiah of Judah, we may question and realign our walk with God. Every reader is warned: studying this book could have consequences for your life!

An essential question...and rocks--lots of rocks.An essential reply...and something about a rock.What's that about?"Who do you say that I am?" Jesus asked.Before that crucial question, there were dozens of clues: the rock that sheltered Moses when he asked to see the face of God, the rock that gushed water for a million thirsty migrants, the rock that formed a solid foundation, and the rock that trips people.Simon Peter got the answer out."You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!"And on this great rock, this great realization, Jesus said, "I will build my church."And there it is, the Shekinah--the glory of God!

A powerful, next-generation manifesto declaring that the future prosperity of Western civilization is dependent upon the ongoing security and success of the Jewish State of Israel, and that the Jewish people's right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland demands a realist foreign policy emphasizing the U.S.-Israel alliance that will require military strength and a focus on Israeli self-defense for the country as well as its individual citizens. Israel is the West's man on the spot--the tip of the spear in the battle against Islamist terrorism and secularist nihilism alike. But the old-guard voices advocating for the full support of Israel as a nation-state and as an idea are being drowned out from all sides--theistic, secularist, right, left, and everything in between. To combat the uproars of multiculturalism, postmodern relativism, "tolerance," and Jew-hating social media, the time is now for voices from a new generation. We must address modern antisemitism and sound a call not just to accept, but to enthusiastically embrace the centrality of Judaism to the very character of Western civilization. In Standing By Israel, acclaimed journalist, legal expert, and pundit Josh Hammer makes a righteous case that the key to the prosperity of the West is the flourishing of the Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel. Hammer's uplifting offense is our best defense against the enemies of the Jewish people's right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland. And as Hammer makes clear, manifesting the promise of Israel requires action by the United States and its allies. There can be no overstating the impact of the trauma of October 7, 2023, on the Jewish people. Yet the anti-Israel reactions the world over have been equally devastating. Rallies of hundreds of thousands explicitly or implicitly promoting Hamas violence; demonstrations of Ivy League professors celebrating the pogrom as "awesome" and "exhilarating;" so-called human rights organizations that refuse to unequivocally condemn the use of rape as a weapon of war; and a hydra of multiculturalism, postmodern relativism, and "tolerance"--it all threatens the physical and metaphysical survival of the West and our essential Jewish heritage. Preserving the best of what's been thought and said throughout history and ensuring that there will be centuries more requires a West that is proud of its Jewish heritage. In other words, the continued existence of the Jewish people is inextricably tied to the endurance of Western civilization. Israel is the center of the battle, and Standing By Israel explains why and how the Jewish state must win.

The book of Judges can pose many puzzles for readers today: who were the "judges"? Why was this book written, and how does it fit into the biblical narrative? And how can the story it tells--one of bloodshed, intrigue, and rejection of Yahweh's authority--change our understanding of God today? Deserting the King guides readers through the difficulties that the book of Judges can pose for readers as it traces both the evil and redemption present in Israel's approach to kingship--and, by extension, God. And while examining the book's structure and key themes, author David Beldman draws in stories from his life and the world today, showing how this Old Testament book, in its darkness and heroism, gives us a lens to see God's at work throughout history.
