Download or read book Re Genesis written by Yitzhaq Hayut-Man and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the creation of the universe in six (or seven) days, according to the Book of Genesis, fit the evidence of the universe 15 milliard years of existence? Why does the Book of Genesis contain three different creation stories? In what sense is the Book of Genesis written in future tense? What is the meaning of one of the very first commandments, "to till it and to keep it", and why are we told, in so many details, about Noah's project of keeping the world's fauna? Why is the Book of Genesis focused on fights between brothers, even murders, generation after generation and how can they be resolved? Isaac's sacrifice: who was testing whom and howdid Isaac have the last laugh? Is "Israel" a feminine/maternal entity? Esau and Jacob in the continual Jewish Christian contention and the mysterious and awesome role of "the Ancient Kings of Edom". What is the significance of the Twelve Tribes of Israel to our present time? These questions and many others are the core of ReGenesis: While giving fair treatment to key traditional Jewish and Christian, and even Muslim, exegesis, this study reveals many novel discoveries, based on recent research as well as on a wealth of letter codes and numericalpatterns.
Download or read book Torah Queeries written by Gregg Drinkwater and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Jewish tradition, reading of the Torah follows a calendar cycle, with a specific portion assigned each week. Following on this ancient tradition, Torah Queeries brings together some of the world's leading rabbis, scholars, and writers to interpret the Torah through a "bent lens." This incredibly rich collection unites the voices of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight-allied writers, including some of the most central figures in contemporary American Judaism. All bring to the table unique methods of reading and interpreting that allow the Torah to speak to modern concerns of sexuality, identity, gender, and LGBT life. Torah Queeries offers cultural critique, social commentary, and a vision of community transformation, all done through biblical interpretation. Written to engage readers, draw them in, and at times provoke them, Torah Queeries charts a future of inclusion and social justice deeply rooted in the Jewish textual tradition. A labor of intellectual rigor, social justice, and personal passions, Torah Queeries is an exciting and important contribution to the project of democratizing Jewish communities, and an essential guide to understanding the intersection of queerness and Jewishness.

Download or read book Hineini in Our Lives written by Dr. Norman J. Cohen and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One simple, powerful word—hineini—contains the key to deepening your relationship with God and with others. Hineini (Here I am!). This single spoken word appears only fourteen times in the Bible–each time in a memorable and meaningful story: Abraham offering Isaac as a sacrifice to God, Jacob deceiving his father for Esau’s birthright, Moses answering the call that comes from the Burning Bush. Scholar and popular teacher Norman Cohen explores each of these powerful stories and shows what each can reveal about you as parent, spouse, sibling, lover, and friend. By probing these dynamic biblical relationships, Cohen challenges you to think about the ways you relate to the people in your life and God. And, to add other fascinating perspectives to the conversation, eleven insightful authors and teachers share personal reflections that exemplify each of the hineini passages.
Download or read book The Book of Shem written by David Kishik and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can anyone say anything that has not already been said about the most scrutinized text in human history? In one of the most radical rereadings of the opening chapters of Genesis since The Zohar, David Kishik manages to do just that. The Book of Shem, a philosophical meditation on the beginning of the Bible and the end of the world, offers an inspiring interpretation of this navel of world literature. The six parts of the primeval story—God's creation, the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark, the first covenant, and the Tower of Babel—come together to address a single concern: How does one become the human being that one is? By closely analyzing the founding text of the Abrahamic religions, this short treatise rethinks some of their deepest convictions. With a mixture of reverence and violence, Kishik's creative commentary demonstrates the post-secular implications of a pre-Abrahamic position. A translation of the Hebrew source, included as an appendix, helps to peel away the endless layers of presuppositions about its meaning.

Download or read book Shoah and Torah written by David Patterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shoah and Torah systematically takes up the task of reading the Shoah through the lens of the Torah and the Torah through the lens of the Shoah.The investigation rests upon (1) the metaphysical standing that the Nazis ascribed to the Torah, (2) the obliteration of the Torah in the extermination of the Jews, (3) the significance of the Torah for an understanding of the Shoah, and (4) the significance of the Shoah for an understanding of the Torah.The basis for the inquiry lies not in the content of a certain belief but in the categories of a certain mode of thought. Distinct from all other studies, this book is grounded in the categories of Jewish thought and Judaism—the categories of creation, revelation, and redemption—that the Nazis sought to obliterate in the Shoah.Thus, the investigation is itself a response to the Nazi project of the extermination of the Jews and the millennial testimony of the Jews to the Torah.
