Jødedommen: liv og lære

For observant Jewish medical students and residents, navigating the system of medical training while observing halakhah is a challenging task. Sacred Training includes essays addressing the complex interface of halakhah and medical training. Each essay introduces fundamental halakhic principles and then guides the reader through the application of those principles to the contemporary question. The essays in this volume, written largely by medical professionals, thoroughly illuminate each topic and provide greater clarity and insight. Topics include taking the Hippocratic Oath, the anatomy laboratory, praying early in the morning or after working the night shift, counseling patients on treatments that violate halakhah, caring for moribund or deceased patients, residency and Shabbat, and many more. This book will be of great value to medical trainees, serving as a resource that can be referenced again and again throughout the long process of training to become a physician, helping to transform these difficult years into a spiritually meaningful journey.

Il y a peu de mois, l'invitation d'un vieil ami me conduisit en Alsace, dans un village israélite, au milieu de scènes que j'avais pu contempler dès mon enfance, mais où s'alliait pour moi le charme du souvenir à une sorte de nouveauté. Grâce à un singulier hasard, je pus observer durant ces quelques jours non seulement les types les plus curieux de la société israélite des campagnes de l'Alsace, mais les solennités les plus caractéristiques de la vie juive. À la fète religieuse du vendredi soir et du sabbat succédèrent les cérémonies d'un mariage, puis celles des funérailles. Tous ces tableaux se développeront dans l'ordre où ils se sont offerts, sans que l'imagination ait aucune part dans la disposition des divers incidents que j'ai à raconter... Daniel Stauben, de son vrai nom Auguste Widal, est né en 1822 dans le Haut-Rhin. Universitaire et professeur de lettres, cet ouvrage regroupe ses récits historiques sur la société israélite des campagnes de l'Alsace.

Through largely unpublished archives in the Middle East, Europe and the United States, and the Pius XII papers, in A Liminal Church Maria Chiara Rioli offers an appraisal of Jerusalem's Roman Catholic diocese in the Palestine War and its aftermath.

Torah's Imperative for Counting the Omer-Lev. 23:15-16You shall count seven full weeks from . . . [the eve of the second day of Passover ], the day you brought the sheaf (Omer) of the wave offering. You shall count fifty days to the day of the the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain [wheat] to the Lord.Author Max Amichai Heppner, a vital octogenarian, believes that each generation needs to update Jewish religious practices, like counting the Omer, to make them more meaningful for today's world. He presents seminars for passing on life experiences and practical knowledge as a legacy to the next generation.
