Book excerpt: The Battle of Beersheba, a redeeming win for the ANZACs who lost at Gallipoli, has slipped through the cracks of Australia's historical consciousness.

Download or read book Beersheba Centenary Edition written by Paul Daley and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hundred years ago in October 1917 members of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade participated in what is now regarded as the last great successful cavalry charge. Waving bayonets overhead in the dying light, they raced across six kilometres of exposed ground in Palestine, surprising the well-entrenched Turks. It was the decisive blow in the British capture of the strategic stronghold of Beersheba. The story of this remarkable military victory has largely slipped through the cracks of history, eclipsed in Australian sentiment by stories of dramatic defeat and loss at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Paul Daley goes in search of the story of Beersheba. What he uncovers is a story of ordinary men capable of extraordinary acts, as he sheds new light on a dark episode starkly at odds with the Anzac mythology.
Download or read book Journeys in Holy Lands written by Reuven Firestone and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long pointed to the great affinity between stories found in the Bible and the Qur'an, yet no explanation has been proposed that satisfactorily explains the odd combination of incredible likeness and unique divergence. Firestone provides a refreshing, new approach to scriptural issues of textuality, exegesis, and the origins and use of legend. This book clearly presents the full range of Islamic legends from the Qur'an and early Islamic exegesis about Abraham's journeys and adventures in the Land of Canaan and Arabia, many of them available for the first time in English translation. The author examines this broad sample of Islamic legends in relation to those found in Jewish, Christian, and pre-Islamic Arabian communities, and postulates an evolutionary journey of the literature. He presents a thorough textual analysis of the material and proposes a model for understanding early Islamic narrative based in literary theory, approaches to comparative religion, and the history of the pre-Islamic and early Islamic Middle East.

Download or read book The Journey of Rabbi and Rachel Abramowitz written by Mona Mandel Abramowitz and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabbi Mayer and Rachel Abramowitz are beloved fixtures on the Miami scene. They have that special quality: when you meet you immediately respect them and consider them close friends. But they only became fixtures in one place after they journeyed through many. Their unique story begins in Rachel’s Polish shtetl and Mayer’s youth in British-ruled Palestine. The political climate and world events took Mayer to the United States and Rachel to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. In the often strange but wondrous flow of Jewish life, it was in a camp for displaced Jews in Germany that their very different journeys merged into one. There were other stops geographically, but their journey is really about the life they made. It’s about surviving WW II through fortitude and fortune, and then helping to smuggle Jews out of Europe to Israel. It’s about being the prime force in establishing the Cuban Jewish community in South Florida, and building Jewish institutions in Miami, Israel and throughout the world. It’s about creating a family that continues their legacy. In reading the stories of Rabbi and Rachel Abramowitz, you will travel through Jewish history. As they touched the lives of so many on a personal level, they found themselves on a historical journey. These are their stories. This is our history. The journey continues.

Download or read book Samaritans and Jews in History and Tradition written by Ingrid Hjelm and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an anthology of 19 seminal studies, some for the first time in English, that explore the history and tradition of the ancient relationship between Samaritans and Jews. The book is arranged into three parts: Methods, Traditions, and History; Samaritan and Jewish Pentateuchs; and Studies in Bible and Tradition, each of which is chronologically ordered. It represents a collection of the author’s previous publications on the relationship between Samaritans and Jews, expanding and supplementing the conclusions of her published books. Recent archaeological developments on Mount Gerizim have demonstrated that our paradigms for writing the ancient histories of the kingdoms and provinces of Samaria and Judah in the Iron II, Persian, and Hellenistic periods must change. These developments also affect how we evaluate and read ancient literary traditions, and several chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes, narratives, and compositions in this subject area. Samaritans and Jews in History and Tradition: Changing Perspectives 10 will be of interest to students and scholars of biblical studies, theology, comparative religion, the ancient Near East, and in particular, Samaritan and Jewish studies.
