Download or read book Crossing Jerusalem Other Plays written by Julia Pascal and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes the plays Crossing Jerusalem, The Golem, Year Zero and St Joan Crossing Jerusalem describes 24 hours in the life of an Israeli family in March 2002, as they cross Jerusalem at the beginning of the latest intifada. Over this 24 hours, personal and political history burst into the present. A complex family drama explodes in the most politically tense city in the world. The Golem is inspired by the medieval Yiddish legend. This story, set in Prague, explores what happens when a monster is contructed to defend his community. This version is written for children. Year Zero is a bitter-sweet satire inspired by interviews conducted in the north of France, where Communists, Gaulists, collaborators and those who were children during the 1940s, provided the original source of material. The play exposes the day to day experiences of the men and women who suffered or profited from those zero years. Joan of Arc has, over five centuries, proved an irresistible and enduring icon for an extremely diverse group of people both within and without France. St Joan is a satire based on a Jewish Black Londoner who dreams she is the legendary Catholic Saint.
Download or read book Crossing Mandelbaum Gate written by Kai Bird and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-20 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *From the Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of American Prometheus—the inspiration for the Academy Award-winning film Oppenheimer* Now with a new introduction, Kai Bird’s fascinating memoir of his early years spent in Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon provides an original and illuminating perspective into the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 1956, four-year-old Kai Bird, son of a charming American diplomat, moved to Jerusalem with his family. Kai could hear church bells and the Muslim call to prayer and watch as donkeys and camels competed with cars for space on the narrow streets. Each day on his way to school, Kai was driven through Mandelbaum Gate, where armed soldiers guarded the line separating Israeli-controlled West Jerusalem from Arab-controlled East. Bird would spend much of his life crossing such lines—as a child in Jerusalem, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, and later, as a young man in Lebanon. In Crossing Mandelbaum Gate, a narrative that “rips along like a spy novel” (The New York Times Book Review), Bird’s retelling of “events such as Suez in 1956, the Six Day War of 1967, and Black September in 1970 are as clear and fresh as yesterday” (The Spectator, UK). Bird vividly portrays emblematic figures like George Antonius, author of The Arab Awakening; Jordan’s King Hussein; the Palestinian hijacker Leila Khaled; Salem bin Laden; Saudi King Faisal; President Nasser of Egypt; and Hillel Kook, the forgotten rescuer of more than 100,000 Jews during World War II. Bird, his parents sympathetic to Palestinian self-determination and his wife the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, has written a “kaleidoscopic and captivating” (Publishers Weekly) personal history of a troubled region and an indispensable addition to the literature on the modern Middle East.

Download or read book Caesarea to Jerusalem written by Charles Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caesarea to Jerusalem, Journey to the Cross documents the life and ministry of Jesus from the moment He is identified by Peter as the Christ at Caesarea Philippi until He enters the city of Jerusalem. This book uniquely puts into perspective things Jesus does in preparation for giving up His life, things which on the surface appear to have no connection. Among these is the bestowing of His peace upon the disciples, the appropriation of a colt upon which to enter Jerusalem, sharing of a final meal with the disciples, a session of prayer so intense that He sweats drops of blood, and the performance of things the people believe only God or someone sent from God could do, such as give sight to the blind, heal the lame, raise the dead, and tell people things about their lives that He would have no way of knowing unless He is who He says He is Messiah.

Download or read book Crossing the Jordan River written by Jacob Rosen and published by Humanics Publishing Group. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacob Rosen writes in this fascinating and illuminating book about his experiences in both Cairo, Egypt and Amman, Jordan as an Israeli Diplomat. He has learned a great deal about Egyptian and Jordanian societies and also more about the Israeli character. Time and again, Mr. Rosen witnessed how Arabs and Western Cultures simply do not understand each other. The vignettes assembled in this book are based on real events. Mr. Rosen makes each of these stories stand on its own merit. The approach is anthropological, rather than political, and maybe through sharing these stories, this book can explain why and how the Arabs and the Israelis (and perhaps the West) fail to understand one another. They also show that after all is said and done, we are human beings who share the same concerns and inspirations.

Download or read book Israel s Crossing written by F. C. Hansen and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Israel is the key to what God is about to fulfill in his imminent governance to a new and better covenant. The reality is that Israel is separated from the fulfilling of their forefathers' dreams and visions, the temple remains to be build and the priestly garments again to find their place in the temple. My writing this book is to allow my Gentile yet truly seeking spirit to open towards what Paul once taught to not let yourself be subject to doctrinal teaching but to allow the Messiah to become the turning point in history. Israel's Crossing will provide with facts in History and bring Old and New covenant scripture to shed light on our understanding of Jews and Gentiles and their moving to receive their Yeshua as their Messiah. We allow every believer to further enhance their personal position on the word given first to the Jew and then to the Gentile. We speak with rabbis and get their input on the importance of spiritual heritage based on covenants established more than four thousand years ago, these discussion together with Christian literature englobe a rich feature set where The Land on the other side represents purification from sin that will enable Jews to cross from an Old and perishable Covenant to a New and lasting Covenant. Israel's Crossing shed some light to the now dimmed people of Jerusalem we help the reader find information about Yeshya and in History to learn about the Laws of circumcision the reality that Yeshua came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill the Law, that His Faith is not one of Flesh but one of the Heart.
