Download or read book written by Shimon Finkelman and published by Mesorah Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sages teach that when the six Days of Creation were over, everything in the universe was in place. What was the world lacking? Only one thing -- it lacked the contentment of a genuine, spiritual rest day, a contentment that could replenish the human spirit and bear testimony to the Architect and Creator of all that was. When the Sabbath came; contentment came. Our weekly Sabbath is a regular renewal of that final necessary aspect of Creation; our renewed acknowledgment of Him Who made all and grants us a share of the World to Come on earth, every seventh day. Drawn from the rich lodes of Jewish thought and practice, the book will help the reader enter the joy and holiness of the Sabbath, for the better we understand the deeper content of the day and what it represents, the better we enter into its higher universe.

Download or read book How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household written by Blu Greenberg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with practical advice as well as history, Blu Greenberg's book is a comprehensive guide to the joys and complexities of running a modern Jewish home. How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household is a modern, comprehensive guide covering virtually every aspect of Jewish home life. It provides practical advice on how to manage a Jewish home in the traditional way and offers fascinating accounts of the history behind the tradition. In a warm, personal style, Blu Greenberg shows that, contrary to popular belief, the home, and not the synagogue, is the most important institution in Jewish life. Divided into three large sections—"The Jewish Way," "Special Stages of Life," and "Celebration and Remembering"—this book educates the uninitiated and reminds the already observant Jew of how Judaism approaches daily life. Topics include prayer, dress, holidays, food preparation, marriage, birth, death, parenthood, and many others. This description of the modern-yet-traditional Jewish household will earn special regard among the many American Jews who are re-exploring their ties to Jewish tradition. Such Jews will find this book a flexible guide that provides a knowledge of the requirements of traditional Judaism without advocating immediate and complete compliance. How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household will also appeal to observant Jews, providing them with helpful tips on how to manage their homes and special insights into the most minute details and procedures in a traditional household. Herself a traditional Jew, Blu Greenberg is nevertheless quite sympathetic to feminist views on the role of women in Jewish observance. How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household therefore speaks intimately to women who are struggling to reconcile their identities as modern women with their commitments to traditional Judaism.

Download or read book The Sabbath written by Abraham Joshua Heschel and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2005-08-17 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God's creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel's The Sabbath has been hailed as a classic of Jewish spirituality ever since its original publication--and has been read by thousands of people seeking meaning in modern life. In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel, one of the most widely respected religious leaders of the twentieth century, introduced the influential idea of an 'architecture of holiness" that appears not in space but in time. Judaism, he argues, is a religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the materials things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that 'the Sabbaths are our greatcatherdrals.'

Download or read book Dinah Blu written by Steven Freedman, A.B., M.S. and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Through their actions, the lives of all the main characters become intertwined. Each character is unique in terms of who and what they stand for. Some are Black others White. Some are Jews others Christians. Avast chasm exists the characters, in terms of their social standing. One's background influences how the character will behave and what his or her fate will be. The characters in Dinah Blu, while works of the author's imagination strive to be true to life. In creating the characters, I have gone beyond mere ""stereo-typing"" inorder for the characters to appear quiet real on the page. The plot is built upon the experiences of the characters and it is the actions of the characters which define the work. And there is a specific time frame when all these actions occur. In keeping with my intent to deal with the themes which define a well written novel, the characters experience many things over the course of time. To describe each and every action which takes place in the novel would be too difficult. However, in keeping with the novel's intent, race, religion, war, justice, love, hate, wealth, poverty, suffering, joy, pain, happiness, hope, and despair are all explored through the various characters."
