Argues that the modern practice of critique emerged out of religious traditions and can in many ways be traced back to them.

A comprehensive study of the history and evolution of the dybbuk, from kabbalistic tradition to popular folklore.

PirkeiDeRabbi Eliezer Chapter of the greatRebbi Eliezer Rebbi Eliezer Ben Hyrcanus¿¿¿¿¿¿Hebrew With English Translation ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Rebbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus....In a new Zohar it is stated that Rebbi Eliezer was a reincarnation of Reuven the firstborn of Yaakov, and for this reason, the decree of ten martyrs who according to the Kabbalah was sentenced to the ten sages for being equal against the ten tribes who threw Yosef into the pit, did not apply to Rebbi Eliezer but only ordered to throw Yosef into the pit, and therefore threw Rebbi Eliezer into the pit but raised him afterwards and did not kill him.In the book of Bnei Yissachar it is stated that since Reuven was the one who always dealt with repentance for his sin that confused his father's performance, it is appropriate to rule like him when it comes to repentance, and because Rebbi Eliezer rules that the witnesses handed over This year - the time of writing, Yom Kippur - the time of signing, and Hoshana Rabba - which is the time of handing over the notes to the emissaries, it should be ruled that the time of repentance exists until Hoshana Rabba, and until then it is possible to repent and change the sentence. He connects these things, to the reason by which Moshe Rabbeinu prayed that Rebbi Eliezer came out of his loins as quoted in the ruling in the name of Rebbi Acha.Years passed during which Rebbi Eliezer was prevented from reaching the Beit Midrash. Sages lost his teachings and the many of his traditions he had. Specially in particular Rebbi Akiva who was his special student. He lost the controversy over Achnai's furnace. He did not compromise with the sages, even though the halacha [the Jewish law] is - singular and plural halacha as plural. But he did not give up his mind, without which there is no point in life, but what are years, even decades, in the face of eternity.¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿ - ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿

Peace is a gift. One of the most sought-after states of being is peace of mind. People spend a tremendous amount of time and resources searching for the thing that will give them peace in culture and society, which increasingly thrives on disharmony, chaos, and what seems to be unending crisis. But the peace we seek is not found in other people, places, or possessions. The peace we seek is found in Jesus Christ. Our Savior came to bring peace by reconciling us to the Father. He left his peace in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. He told us how to overcome the world--by seeking peace in him. He Gives You Peace is a devotional of biblical topics on how the peace of God impacts our lives and daily decisions. My prayer is that you will recognize and seek the peace of Jesus Christ as you engage with these devotional studies.Doris Willis A Measure of Grace

This collection of articles is tightly focused on metaphors in the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible and their later afterlife in Jewish and Christian texts.The essays deal with a wide range of historical, literary, and methodological issues. First, several contributions employ metaphor theory in analysing the biblical texts, both conceptual frameworks such as blending theory and more traditional methods. Second, metaphors are studied both synchronically, that is, in relation to their current literary contexts, and diachronically, that is, mapping how they have been employed and re-interpreted in different ways and different texts throughout time. Third, other contributions read metaphors in light of theoretical frameworks such as feminist criticism, post-colonial theories, or power discourses that uncover aspects of significance often missed in historical studies. Finally, yet other contributions deal with the issue of how to translate metaphors in contemporary contexts.

In this fascinating and ground-breaking book, Itzhak Benyamini uses discourse analysis to lay out the way Lacan constructed his own intellectual discourse informed by Judeo-Christianity. Offering an understanding of Lacan¿s emergence and intellectual struggles with significant contemporary intellectuals, the author builds a panoramic view of the entire psychoanalytic discourse at the time of the foundational post-Freudian generation. By engaging in close reading of texts and seminars given by Lacan between the 1930s and 50s, Benyamini uncovers the coming-into-being of Lacan's key concepts: The Mirror Stage, the Imaginary, the Real, the Symbolic, the Name-of-the-Father, the Other, jouissance, and das Ding. The author argues that Lacan wished to regulate this process of conceptualization by connecting the concepts of the "Father" and the "Other" with themes from the Judeo-Christian tradition, especially the Biblical one, to create a clinical ethic, that does not reflect aworldview or ideology and is guided solely by the analyzand¿s unconscious desire.

Sefer HaMidot - Rabbi Nachman of Breslov ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ - ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ Hebrew With English TranslationThe Book of Traits (Sefer Hamidos) was written by the holy and righteous Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. It is an alphabetical listing of character traits, good and bad, with advice for their rectification and how they relate to one another, as well as the attributes of reality, their effects, and how they can be manipulated. Sefer Hamidos is composed of two parts; the compilation of Part 1 began when Rabbi Nachman was just six years old. This holy book was written to assist individuals seeking to honestly rectify and purify all of their character traits. Rabbi Nachman of Cherin and later Rabbi Tzaddik of Lublin created footnotes for Sefer Hamidot, sourcing the teachings to their origins in different Biblical verses and Rabbinical writings. Rabbi Nachman himself, greatly praised his book crediting it for having made him into a Kosher Jew..¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿"¿, ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿"¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿..... ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿..... ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿: ¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿.... ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿.... ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿... ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿...... ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿' ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿'¿¿¿"¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿"¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿'¿¿¿"¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿"¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿.... ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿, ¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿

Tales from ancient times are a collection of folktales in the style of folk tales that Rebbi Nachman of Breslov told to his students. His prominent student Rebbi Natan of Breslov recorded and published them. It is customary to think that there is a gothic and Kabbalistic dimension to these stories, and they differ in style and essence from the rest of the parables and stories told by Rebbi Nachman, which appear in his writings and the writings of his disciples.One should know that these stories have deep secrets, blessed is he who gets to understand them. Rebbi Nachman paved new ways in Chassidot. He emphasized the value of prayer, solitude, innocence and simple faith. Rebbi Nacham taught avoidance of philosophical inquiry, even though at the end of his life he befriended the educated Jews who lived in the city of Uman. He also stressed the need to long for God and said that according to his greatness there is no one who can say that he worships God, but the main thing is longing and longing. This longing can be gained mainly with the help of simple faith.Along with the sermons he delivered to his followers, as was the custom of the rebbes of his generation, he also told tales, which are interpreted as allegories and complement his teachings.He emphasized the importance of being joyful, and to the resist being despaired or sadness. This characterized throughout his teachings. Examples of his own famous sayings on this subject: Know that man has to cross a very, very narrow bridge, and the rule is that you will not be afraid at all. It is a great mitzvah to always be happy. There is no despair in the world at all.

Does God's call on your life seem impossible?Have you thought . . .I'm not the one for the job. I don't know how to do what You're asking me to do. It's simply too much.I'm exhausted by my responsibilities. You aren't alone. When God called Moses to lead His people out of slavery, Moses begged God to choose someone else. Who could blame him? The job God had given Moses was massive! It seemed impossible. But God never expected Moses to do it alone. Called by God to an extraordinary, life-changing journey, Moses led a fledgling nation of doubtful and often discontented people to the Promised Land. Along the way, he faced incredible challenges and disappointments. Moses also discovered a truth that remains today: God offers incomparable love and mercy to those who follow Him. This study of Moses's life focuses on the relationship he had with God, a relationship he did not ask for or expect. Moses learned to trust God's goodness and faithfulness, and he experienced the kind of closeness that God desires to have with you today.Moses: Called by God will encourage you to trust God more fully as you discover and live out your calling. ¿¿¿"Moses's story offers a gentle reminder to be listening for those burning bush moments when God can clarify our purpose and calling. This book will clear the smoke to allow your own face-to-face encounters with God."-Dan Miller, New York Times bestselling author of 48 Days to the Work You Love, and host of the 48 Days Podcast"Marilynn Hood's Moses: Called by God is an inspiring journey into the heart of the very purpose of our lives: knowing God and making Him known. The insights and questions Marilynn offers help us understand that, like Moses, we can experience a deep and extraordinary relationship with God, which is exactly what He created us for!"-Meredith Perryman, speaker, Bible teacher, and author of The Whole Story In Moses: Called by God, Marilynn Hood takes you on a faith-filled adventure that will fire up your soul. She unpacks Moses's life story-his doubts, fears, and the deep faith he developed as a result of his encounter with God. . . . If you're wondering if God has called you or what His purpose is for you, this reflective study will help you find the answers." -Bill Rieser, pastor, author, evangelist, and founder of Encounter Ministries"Marilynn's research and personal insights will enrich your appreciation of Moses and how his life relates to our walk with God. Bible students and teachers alike will find lots of helpful information and inspiration in Moses: Called by God." -Debbie W. Wilson, author of Little Strength, Big God

"Judaism is often called the religion of reason. It is this, but it is also the religion of the soul. It recognises the value of that mystic insight, those indefinable intuitions which, taking up the task at the point where the mind impotently abandons it, carries us straight into the presence of the King." Israel Abrahams was one of the most distinguished Jewish scholars of his time. In this volume he attempted to take up a few of the most characteristic points in Jewish doctrine and practice, and to explain the various phases through which they have passed, since the first centuries of the Christian era. It is here followed by "Chapters on Jewish Literature", a work which has been compiled with the definite aim of providing an elementary manual designed for those who may wish to master some of the leading characteristics of the subject, without burdening themselves with too many details and dates.

The Old Testament, or Hebrew Scriptures, has been a source of spiritual inspiration for hundreds of millions of believers throughout the ages. Center stage in the Old Testament is a body of literature by and about the prophets-messengers of God who tried to keep God's people on the right path. You know their names-Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezekiel-or do you? Are you acquainted with Deborah, Huldah, Miriam and Noadiah? For far too long, the women prophets have never been accorded the respect and attention they deserve, but they delivered God's messages with the same passion, commitment and urgency as the men. This book is written to acknowledge and celebrate them-and put the women-the prophetesses-on the pedestal they deserve to occupy.

The "Sepher Yetzirah," or "Book of Formation," is perhaps the oldest Rabbinical treatise of Kabalistic philosophy which is still extant. The "Sepher Yetzirah, although this name means "The Book of Formation," is not in any sense a narrative of Creation, or a substitute Genesis, but is an ancient and instructive philosophical treatise upon one aspect of the origin of the universe and mankind; an aspect at once archaic and essentially Hebrew.This new large print edition is followed by an Introduction to the Study of the Kabalah.

In diesem Band sind Beiträge zur Pentateuchforschung aus den vergangenen rund 20 Jahren gesammelt. Die Anordnung folgt nicht chronologischen, sondern sachlichen Gesichtspunkten: Die erste Sektion (Das literarische Problem des Pentateuchs) widmet sich der Methodik, Geschichte und aktuellen Diskussion der Pentateuchforschung. Die zweite Sektion (Urgeschichte und Erzväter) enthält Beiträge zur Komposition der Ur- und Vätergeschichte in der Genesis, die dritte Sektion (Das Gesetz zwischen Exodus und Landnahme) solche zur Komposition der Exodus-Landnahmegeschichte in Exodus-Josua. Die vierte Sektion (Tora und Vordere Propheten) überschreitet den Horizont des Pentateuchs in Richtung Hexateuch und Enneateuch und behandelt das Verhältnis des Pentateuchs zum sogenannten Deuteronomistischen Geschichtswerk. Die fünfte Sektion (Die Rezeption der Tora in den Texten vom Toten Meer) schließlich befasst sich mit Beispielen der antiken Rezeptionsgeschichte, an denen deutlich wird, dass sich der dynamische Prozess der Auslegung, der in der Literargeschichte des Pentateuchs zu greifen ist, nicht nur in den biblischen Handschriften, sondern auch in anderen Texten vom Toten Meer fortsetzt

In 1906 Martin Schreiner, who had been diagnosed with mental illness four years previously, wrote from the Sanatorium Berolinum in Berlin-Lankwitz to the librarian of the "Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judentums" in Berlin, asking to send him some books, in the hope of being released soon. This letter and some short letters dating from 1920 and 1922 constitute Schreiner's last written testimonies. His mental illness painfully and suddenly ended the short but productive career of a versatile scholar who was one of the most important exponents of the "Wissenschaft des Judentums" and who simultaneously engaged in the study of Islam. Sabine Schmidtke reconstructs Schreiner's scholarly biography from his student days to his active period in Berlin, where the manuscript holdings of the Royal Library opened up entirely new perspectives for him. The author focuses on his pioneering scholarship particularly in the field of Islamic intellectual history, where his main contributions dealt with the Mütazila, Ibn Taymiyya and his circle, the mystical tradition of Ibn ¿Arabi, and interreligious polemics.

Explores the diversity of Jewish approaches to character and virtue, from the Bible to the present day.

SeferTOMER DEVORAHThe Palm Tree of DeborahTomer Devorah was written in Hebrew in the middle of the 16th century by Rabbi Moses Cordovero, a Jewish kabbalist in Safed, Israel. This short text deals mostly with the Imitation of God through the acquisition of divine traits, especially those of the sephirot. The first edition was published in Venice in 1588 Tomer Devorah (Hebrew: ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, English: The Palm Tree of Deborah) was written in Hebrew in the middle of the 16th century by Moses Cordovero, a Jewish kabbalist in Safed, Israel. This short text deals mostly with the Imitation of God through the acquisition of divine traits, especially those of the sephirot. The first edition was published in Venice in 1588. Although not widely read among Jews today, it is popular in the mussar tradition, which focuses on the individual cultivation of the middot, or qualities of God.Rabbi Moshe Cordovero Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, also referred to as Ra'MaK, was a leading kabbalist who lived and taught in Tsfat. His best-known work, Pardes Rimmonim, is a systematization of various school of kabbalistic thought. He authored many highly influential works, included a defense of kabbalah, a highly-regarded ethical work based on kabbalistic thought, and a comprehsive commentary on the Zohar. He had many disciples and was considered the premier kabbalistic authority until superceded by Rabbi Yitzchak Luria (AR"I Z"L) shortly after his death.Rabbi Moses ben Jacob Cordovero was a central figure in the historical development of Kabbalah, leader of a mystical school in 16th-century Safed, Ottoman Syria. He is known by the acronym the Rama"k.After the Medieval flourishing of Kabbalah, centered on the Zohar, attempts were made to give a complete intellectual system to its theology, such as by Meir ibn Gabbai. Influenced by the earlier success of Jewish philosophy in articulating a rational study of Jewish thought, Moshe Cordovero produced the first full integration of the previous differing schools in Kabbalistic interpretation. While he was a mystic inspired by the opaque imagery of the Zohar, Cordoverian Kabbalah utilised the conceptual framework of evolving cause and effect from the Infinite to the Finite in systemising Kabbalah, the method of philosophical style discourse he held most effective in describing a process that reflects sequential logic and coherence. His encyclopedic works became a central stage in the development of Kabbalah.Immediately after him in Safed, Isaac Luria articulated a subsequent system of Kabbalistic theology, with new supra-rational doctrines recasting previous Kabbalistic thought. While Lurianism displaced the Cordoverian scheme and became predominant in Judaism, its followers read Cordoverian works in harmony with their teachings. Where to them, Lurianism described the "World" of Rectification, Cordovero described the pre-Rectification World.[3] Both articulations of the 16th century mystical Renaissance in Safed gave Kabbalah an intellectual prominence to rival Medieval Rationalism, whose social influence on Judaism had waned after the Expulsion from Spain.¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
