Download or read book The Jewelers of the Ummah written by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algeria's Arab Jews were renowned for their metal-working and jewellery-making skills, and these jewellers of the ummah-the Arabic community-are, for Azoulay, the symbol of a world that can still be reclaimed and repaired. In a series of letters written to her father, her great-grandmother, and her children-and to the thinkers and artists she claims as intellectual kin, such as Frantz Fanon and Hannah Arendt-Azoulaytraces the history of Arab Jewish life in Algeria, and how it was disrupted by French colonialism. She begins by asking how her family became assimilated into the identities of "Israeli," "Jewish," or "French." As she does, she finds a whole lost world open up to her - the world of her family, the Arab Jews of Algeria. She traces how Arab Jews were severed from other Arabs, and how Arab Jews were severed from their Arabness by the Israeli vision of a Jewish diaspora, and sets out to repair those breaks and revive their world. But it is in the return to the carefully crafted jewels, whose beautifully crafted objects act as messages to the future, reminds us of the conviviality of a world that existed long before colonial disruption, and whose memory challenges the imperial ways of thinking we have all inherited.

Download or read book True Jew written by Leon Zitzer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Done, done, and done. This book solves three important problems: What role did Jewish leaders play in the death of Jesus (it certainly wasnt to help Rome execute him)? What was Judas role (he certainly was no traitor)? And how does Barabbas fit into this? These problems were solved in the authors previous book, The Ghost in the Gospels, but here even more evidence is presented and in a more compact way for a faster ride. The first chapter is a knock-out punch, proving it is absolutely impossible that Judas betrayed Jesus. Not merely improbable. Impossible. Absolutely. What Judas actually did awaits a later chapter, after reviewing the historical context from Josephus and all the evidence in the New Testament that exonerates Jewish leaders of any blame in Jesus death. What has blinded us to the evidence is theology: An obsession with surrounding Jesus with Jewish enemies and portraying him as an alien and threat to his own culture. Pure theology. Thats all it ever was. No solid pattern of evidence in the Gospels ever supported it. Could the great majority of scholars have been wrong about this for the last two centuries? Yes.

Download or read book Am I a Jew written by Theodore Ross and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I was nine years old when my mother forced me to convert to Christianity….” When Theodore Ross moved from New York City to small-town Mississippi, his mother insisted that the family pretend to not be Jewish. He was sent to an Episcopal school, where he studied the Bible, sang in the choir, and even took communion. As an adult, he abandoned the religious charade, but wondered: Am I a Jew? In search of an answer, Ross immersed himself within communities on the fringes of Jewish identity—“Crypto-Jews,” “Lost Tribes,” the ultra-Orthodox, and more. Filled with humor, curiosity, and sincerity, Am I a Jew? explores America’s riotous religious diversity, and one man’s quest to stake a claim within it.
Download or read book Why Be Jewish written by Edgar Bronfman and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar M. Bronfman's clarion call to a generation of secular, disaffected, and unaffiliated Jews, this book addresses the most critical question confronting Judaism worldwide. Completed in December 2013, just weeks before he passed away, Why Be Jewish? expresses Edgar Bronfman's awe, respect, and deep love for his faith and heritage. Bronfman walks readers through the major tenets and ideas in Jewish life, fleshing out their meaning and offering proof texts from the Jewish tradition gleaned over his many years of study with some of the greatest teachers in the Jewish world. With honesty, poignancy, and passion, Bronfman shares in Why Be Jewish? insights gleaned from his own personal journey and makes a compelling case for the meaning and transcendence of a secular Judaism that is still steeped in deep moral values, authentic Jewish texts, and a focus on deed over creed or dogma.
