Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing Zion Home examines the role of culture in the establishment of the "special relationship" between the United States and Israel in the immediate postwar decades. Many American Jews first encountered Israel through their roles as tastemakers, consumers, and cultural impresarios—that is, by writing and reading about Israel; dancing Israeli folk dances; promoting and purchasing Israeli goods; and presenting Israeli art and music. It was precisely by means of these cultural practices, argues Emily Alice Katz, that American Jews insisted on Israel's "natural" place in American culture, a phenomenon that continues to shape America's relationship with Israel today. Katz shows that American Jews' promotion and consumption of Israel in the cultural realm was bound up with multiple agendas, including the quest for Jewish authenticity in a postimmigrant milieu and the desire of upwardly mobile Jews to polish their status in American society. And, crucially, as influential cultural and political elites positioned "culture" as both an engine of American dominance and as a purveyor of peace in the Cold War, many of Israel's American Jewish impresarios proclaimed publicly that cultural patronage of and exchange with Israel advanced America's interests in the Middle East and helped spread the "American way" in the postwar world. Bringing Zion Home is the first book to shine a light squarely upon the role and importance of Israel in the arts, popular culture, and material culture of postwar America.
Download or read book The Golden Thread written by Rev. Boda L. Lawson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-03-25 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is but one way to avoid crossing Jordan alone. That way is the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. His word is everlasting, true, and infallible. He was and is alpha and omega: the beginning and the end. There is irrefutable written documentation and historical records that verify that the Word of God is infallible. From Genesis, the first book of the Holy Bible, to Revelation, the final book of God's Word, there are recorded truths that will guide all who will read, hear, and believe unto knowledge of the truth of God's plan of salvation. There is one common thread that runs through the entire sixty-six books of the holy bible. If well understood, they become the narrow lifeline to the strait gate and eternal life. To be The Golden Thread, it must run true in all passages of scripture and must ultimately lead the tracer to a perfect understanding of the will of God the Father and The Golden Thread Connection. Its beginning is tangled in the limbs of the tree of eternal life in the Garden of Eden and ends anchored in the footstool of the throne of God.
Download or read book THE GOLDEN THREAD written by Al Jones and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jones has tried not to bog down the reader by covering every event in the Bible. His primary goal is to point out what he calls “The Golden Thread,” which indisputably ties all the events in the Bible to the progression of God’s perfect plan as it moves step by step towards completion. The Golden Thread is punctuated throughout with prophecy and amazing miracles that should leave no doubt in our minds that God exists and is indisputably and actively involved in the affairs of humanity. Jones hopes to create in each reader an insatiable desire and curiosity to study the Bible in more depth.

Book excerpt: After worrying with this situation of 'God' all of my live, I am reconciled that there is no God of the relationship I have always been taught. --'God' started this whole thing with a Big Bang? (Not if he looked anything like us or cared what we do, especially in this pitiable state of evolution). By studying our past we find that Man has always had a sense of longing to be better, someone or something to worship, but he was wise enough to call it what it is: his ideas. This does not encompass the other side of the coin, or dark side of our beings, which I have covered in this book. --We have discovered that we are so small in the whole scheme of things, an infinitesimal amount of energy, (like one grain of sand in the whole desert of all our world). Here we are one small atom in the galaxies of space, temporarily ruled by one set of mammals, does it really make a difference what we learn? --I suppose it does make a difference to us --(not that we can do anything about it, except to try).
Download or read book The Golden Thread written by Ewan Clayton and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the simple representative shapes used to record transactions of goods and services in ancient Mesopotamia, to the sophisticated typographical resources available to the twenty–first–century users of desktop computers, the story of writing is the story of human civilization itself. Calligraphy expert Ewan Clayton traces the history of an invention which—ever since our ancestors made the transition from a nomadic to an agrarian way of life in the eighth century BC—has been the method of codification and dissemination of ideas in every field of human endeavour, and a motor of cultural, scientific and political progress. He explores the social and cultural impact of, among other stages, the invention of the alphabet; the replacement of the papyrus scroll with the codex in the late Roman period; the perfecting of printing using moveable type in the fifteenth century and the ensuing spread of literacy; the industrialization of printing during the Industrial Revolution; the impact of artistic Modernism on the written word in the early twentieth century—and of the digital switchover at the century's close. The Golden Thread also raises issues of urgent interest for a society living in an era of unprecedented change to the tools and technologies of written communication. Chief among these is the fundamental question: "What does it mean to be literate in the early twenty–first century?" The book belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who is inquisitive not just about the centrality of writing in the history of humanity, but also about its future; it is sure to appeal to lovers of language, books and cultural history.

Download or read book Secularizing the Sacred written by Alec Mishory and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As historical analyses of Diaspora Jewish visual culture blossom in quantity and sophistication, this book analyzes 19th-20th-century developments in Jewish Palestine and later the State of Israel. In the course of these approximately one hundred years, Zionist Israelis developed a visual corpus and artistic lexicon of Jewish-Israeli icons as an anchor for the emerging “civil religion.” Bridging internal tensions and even paradoxes, artists dynamically adopted, responded to, and adapted significant Diaspora influences for Jewish-Israeli purposes, as well as Jewish religious themes for secular goals, all in the name of creating a new state with its own paradoxes, simultaneously styled on the Enlightenment nation-state and Jewish peoplehood.
