“Aurora Levins Morales's poetry radiates wisdom, warmth, and fortitude. A prophetic, life-centered guide for times of tumult and struggle.”—Arielle Angel, editor-in-chief of Jewish CurrentsRimonim is a richly woven tapestry of poetry meant for use. From a time of rupture and uncertainty, beloved movement poet Aurora Levins Morales brings us a prayer book for the street, for reconstituting the future through our gestures in the present. In these poems of devotion and protest, Levins Morales speaks across and through time with an undeniably prophetic voice. Written in collaboration with various communities looking to honor, unravel, and rebuild Jewish liturgies, Rimonim is a book of lyric in the most immediate sense—of poems that are meant to be read and sung. Rooted in tradition and flowering in the tumultuous present, these poems will both accompany specific Jewish practices and offer inspiration for the sacred work of human liberation, where joy meets justice.Ultimately, these forty-nine poems honor the forty-ninth year, when it was taught that everything in the land would begin anew, everything redistributed and freed, when the people would see that everything on this earth was “ready to wake and bloom / just under the skin of what is.”

El propósito de este libro es mostrar la historia, doctrina y la relación profética entre el Antiguo y el Nuevo Testamento. La conclusión es que, en su esencia, desde el Génesis hasta Malaquías, el Antiguo Testamento es una sombra del Nuevo Testamento. Vamos a reducir esto a términos simples; el tema de toda la Biblia es el deseo y el plan de Dios para tener una relación con nosotros. En el Antiguo Testamento Dios prepara un pueblo a través de los cuales un Mesías vendrá. En el Nuevo Testamento, el deseo y el plan se cumplen en el nacimiento, vida, muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Para simplificar aún más, el tema del Antiguo Testamento es: el Mesías ha de venir, trayendo salvación. El tema del Nuevo Testamento es ¡el Mesías está aquí, trayendo salvación!"Mi fe creció a medida que leí el libro de John y me di cuenta de una manera más profunda de cómo las Escrituras me proporcionan una descripción de la actividad de Dios en toda la Biblia que es coherente, planificada y claro. Vi el carácter amoroso de nuestro Padre en el cielo que ha trabajado para tener una relación con nosotros desde el principio de los tiempos." - Gregg Marutzky (del prólogo)

"Unveiling the Mystical Essence of Chanukah Tu B'shvat Tu B'av & Purim through Kabbalah and Hebrew Letters"

RUTH: God's Favor with a Caress of TruthA Gentle perspective from the rural side of lifeThe unit of study you hold in your hands describes the way of the life of the farmer in Midwestern states. In the day of the book of Ruth, through the knowledge offered from the Bible is the clear unity of God to a female He loved. We explore the groundwork and learn how God made viable His graft of the lineage of Ruth and Boaz. The son they bore was of Christ's heritage and it was a declaration of the family unity supported by the hand of God. Knowing God had favor for a people group before Christ's birth brings a bond of favor to our hearts. The love of the Father to this region of the world was witnessed by two women of faith in the manner of pursuing Christ as well. The length of the study is simplistic so a small group can gather on a weekend retreat or even an evening commute and a regular expression of time can be adhered to.

Written amid a general sea-change in the way that Old Testament narrative texts are read among many of those who read them in academic contexts, this volume attempts to introduce the reader to a fairly broad range of issues which arise in relation to Kings, in the context of the kinds of issues which arise in relation to biblical narrative in general. Provan attempts to show, in relation to the many issues addressed, why different readers read Kings differently. Reflection on these fundamental issues should enable readers to form their own judgments on the matters under discussion, and to move beyond these to other matters which may be of interest to them.Iain Provan retired as the Marshall Sheppard Professor of Biblical Studies at Regent College. He is the author of The Reformation and the Right Reading of Scripture; Convenient Myths: The Axial Age, Dark Green Religion, and the World that Never Was; and Seriously Dangerous Religion: What the Old Testament Really Says and Why It Matters. He is the founder of the Cuckoos Consultancy and lives in the Vancouver area.

Written with deep knowledge of Indian religions (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism) and of Judaism, as both textual traditions and lived practices, and with an understanding of his American audience, The Way of Torah and the Path of Dharma provides an essential introduction to the world's leading non-Abrahamic religions. It serves as well as a model of bridging the world of religious scholarship with the world of ordinary religious practitioners.When Rabbi Polish embarked on the study of Indian religion at the beginning of his career, India was exotic, and Christianity was at the center of the American Jewish interfaith experience. Now, between globalization on the one hand, and a generation of Indian immigrants coming of age, Indian religion is of growing interest and concern. Rabbi Polish moves the discussion beyond the ways that practices such as Yoga and meditation have been westernized and commoditized, and points to what Jews share with a billion religious practitioners in the U.S. and beyond.In The Way of Torah and the Path of Dharma, Rabbi Daniel Polish takes Jewish readers on a tour of Indian religious practices and beliefs. He shows commonalities and differences and then, challengingly, asks us how what Jews learn about Indian religion might affect how they think about their Judaism and what followers of Eastern religious traditions can learn from Judaism about their faith.

Do you think you know about Noah's Flood: where it occurred; when it occurred; whether it was a natural event; a world flood; and what happened after the flood? Then the answers in this book may surprise you! While there are many flood stories from around the world, this book focuses on Noah's Flood as described in the Book of Genesis from The Old Testament.About 14,700 years ago, as the Earth came out of the ice age, eight-mile-high glaciers in eastern Antarctica began melting and calving into the Indian ocean. The resulting mega-tsunamis traveled northward up the Persian Gulf and through the valley formed by the Tigris-Euphrates river system. Noah, an ancient Sumerian, was carried Noah northwest along the Tigris-Euphrates flood plain into southeastern Turkey. He and his descendants eventually settled in and around ¿anl¿urfa (Urfa), which claims to be Abraham's birthplace. It is located in the northwest corner of the present-day Harran Plain in Turkey. There, Noah and his descendants built monolithic temples to their pantheon of gods.Gobekli Tepe, only recently discovered, overlooks Harran Plain and is considered to be a site of religious temples. It has been dated to be over 13,000 years old (the oldest monolithic structure known). It is from this location that agriculture began 12,000 years ago. Perhaps as Noah's three sons and their descendants migrated; Ham (Africa), Seth (Arabian Peninsula), and Japheth (west into Greece and east into Persia and India), they carried with them the knowledge of agriculture.It is amazing how well the scientific data presented in this book fits with Genesis and ancient stories such as the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh and the older Babylonian epic of Atra-Hasis.If you think you know Noah's story then you should read this book.

Year 2023 marked 120 years of the Lazarus Jewish Hospital in Lviv (Lwów/Lemberg). This richly illustrated book is a tribute to its place in the once-vibrant Jewish community of the city and in the society at large during the period 1903-1939. Visionaries from Lviv presents the hospital's history and its fascinating architecture, its doctors, and its founder, a prominent local Jewish philanthropist Maurycy Lazarus, with the background of the Jewish life in Lviv. The volume also details the history of medicine and medical education in Habsburg Galicia prior to the hospital's founding, Jewish access to the medical profession, and the impact of Jewish doctors on the path to modernity. It also shows the struggle of women to become doctors. A moving and timely book with contributions from leading historians, scholars, and medical professionals, Visionaries from Lviv is an ode to the once thriving Jewish community in Lviv and a testament to how one person's dream and commitment can impact the lives of so many. This publication was made possible with support from Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund and Gesher Galicia.

On a late summer night in 18th century Poland, a Jewish wanderer enters a tavern in a small shtetl and tells a tale of his late master and teacher, Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer, the holy Baal Shem Tov. And not just any tale: This will be the tale of how the Baal Shem Tov once spent a long night in a remote forest hut with a lamed vovnik, one of the thirty-six hidden saints who, according to Jewish legend, sustain the world through their righteousness - even though outwardly they lead lives of bitter poverty and humble obscurity. Yet as the tale progresses, and the hidden saint reveals more of his past, it becomes apparent that darker forces are afoot.The Twisted Path of the Hidden Saint: An Occult Tale of the Baal Shem Tov is a dark, twisted story of evil and sorcery, and how the striving for goodness can be manipulated and perverted.

Presented in the form of letters from a rabbi to his sons, Why Israel (and its Future) Matters argues that young Jews need Israel as a source of pride, connection, and Jewish renewal, and Israel needs them for the liberal values that they can bring to the Zionist enterprise. Exploring the roots and the occasionally antisemitic branches of the campaign against Israel, Rabbi Rosove demonstrates why it's wrong to characterize Israel as an "oppressor state" and damn it with blanket condemnations. A 15-page appendix features a timeline/mini-history of Zionism and Israel from the 19th century through October 2023.
