Download or read book Ehyeh written by Dr. Arthur Green and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can Kabbalah teach us about our lives today? What can it teach us about our future? According to the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, Ehyeh,or “I shall be,” is the deepest, most hidden name of God. Arthur Green, one of the most respected teachers of Jewish mysticism of his generation, uses this simple Hebrew word to unlock the spiritual meaning of Kabbalah for our lives. When Moses experienced his great moment of call at the Burning Bush, he asked God, “When people ask me, ‘What is His name?’ what should I say to them?” God answers with this mysterious phrase, “I shall be what I shall be,” and says to Moses, “Tell them that ‘I shall be’ sent you.” God’s puzzling answer makes the conversation sound like a koan-dialogue between a Zen master and disciple.... Like the koan, the text here is reaching to some place beyond words, seeking to create a breakthrough in our consciousness. What is it trying to tell us? —from the Introduction Blending Jewish theology and mysticism, Arthur Green invites us on a contemporary exploration of Kabbalah, showing how the ancient Jewish mystical tradition can be retooled to address the needs of our generation. Drawing on the Zohar and other kabbalistic texts, Green examines the fundamental ideas and spiritual teachings of Kabbalah, encouraging today’s modern seeker to stretch to new ways of thinking with both heart and mind, setting us on a rewarding path to the wisdom Kabbalah has to offer.

Download or read book Kabbalah and the Founding of America written by Brian Ogren and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the influence of Kabbalah in shaping America’s religious identity In 1688, a leading Quaker thinker and activist in what is now New Jersey penned a letter to one of his closest disciples concerning Kabbalah, or what he called the mystical theology of the Jews. Around that same time, one of the leading Puritan ministers developed a messianic theology based in part on the mystical conversion of the Jews. This led to the actual conversion of a Jew in Boston a few decades later, an event that directly produced the first kabbalistic book conceived of and published in America. That book was read by an eventual president of Yale College, who went on to engage in a deep study of Kabbalah that would prod him to involve the likes of Benjamin Franklin, and to give a public oration at Yale in 1781 calling for an infusion of Kabbalah and Jewish thought into the Protestant colleges of America. Kabbalah and the Founding of America traces the influence of Kabbalah on early Christian Americans. It offers a new picture of Jewish-Christian intellectual exchange in pre-Revolutionary America, and illuminates how Kabbalah helped to shape early American religious sensibilities. The volume demonstrates that key figures, including the well-known Puritan ministers Cotton Mather and Increase Mather and Yale University President Ezra Stiles, developed theological ideas that were deeply influenced by Kabbalah. Some of them set out to create a more universal Kabbalah, developing their ideas during a crucial time of national myth building, laying down precedents for developing notions of American exceptionalism. This book illustrates how, through fascinating and often surprising events, this unlikely inter-religious influence helped shape the United States and American identity.

She isn't so fond of nature walks, and Hebrew campfire songs, and mean girls her own age.All of which makes a week at summer camp pretty much the worst idea ever. But within minutes of arriving at camp, Dahlia realizes that it might not be as bad as she'd feared. First she sees two little girls walk right through the walls of her cabin. Then come the dreams -- frighteningly detailed visions of a young man being pursued through 1930s New York City. How are the dreams and the girls related? Why is Dahlia the only one who can see any of them? And what's up with the overgrown, strangely shaped hedge maze that none of the campers are allowed to touch? Dahlia's increasingly dangerous quest for answers will lead her right to the center of the maze -- but it will take all her courage, smarts, and sleight-of-hand skills to get her back out again.

One of Israel's leading cultural figures, Dov Elbaum grew up in an ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem family, and was a prodigy who seemed destined for greatness in the world of Talmud study.

In this fascinating, courageous and compelling autobiography, Elbaum seeks to understand his decision and its consequences.

Download or read book The Kabbalah of Hanukkah written by Baal Kadmon and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an introductory book on Hanukkah. Hanukkah - The Jewish festival of lights is one of the most popular holidays in Judaism. The word itself means "Dedication." The meaning will make sense shortly. I recall Hanukkah very well as a child. Since I grew up in a mixed household, we celebrated Hanukkah, Christmas, and my birthday which happened to follow Christmas. It was good to be me. I was spoiled rotten.The interesting thing about Hanukkah is that although there is a big to-do about it in the Jewish community, it is one of the lesser festivals and is not technically a "Holy day," such as Passover and Rosh Hashana are. The main difference is that Hanukkah commemorates an event that took place within Post- Biblical Judaism, and it revolves around human endeavors. Meaning, the holiday is generated from events within the Jewish community due to personal and collective volition. In this case, it was due to a rebellion against tyranny. The only other Holiday in Judaism that I can think of that is comparable is Purim. Whereas Passover and Rosh Hashana took place within the biblical period and were deemed to be commandments directly from God, the Hebrews had little to no choice as to whether to celebrate them or not. You either did, or you died. Despite this stark difference in "holiday types," Hanukkah, does have significance that is very far-reaching and mystical. It is one of the most mystical festivals of Judaism. At least to those who are comfortable with mystical ideas. In this book, I am going to cover the basic mystical aspects of Hanukkah with several meditations to help you tap into its power. This book may appear to be geared towards people who have some experience with the holiday, but I will be sure to make it accessible to all. As with all my books, I will discuss a fair amount of history. However, this book is meant to be more experiential and therefore will focus mostly on the Kabbalistic aspects of the Holiday in more depth and will take you through a cursory look of the history of the holiday itself. You will learn: The Significance of HanukkahHanukkah TraditionsThe Miracle of HanukkahThe Kabbalah of HanukkahThe Tree of Life Emanations and the Hanukkah CandlesThe Mystical Expression of HanukkahKabbalistic Meditations of Hanukkah - These will be very easy meditations, to get your feet wet. These are by no means advanced but tailored for the very beginner. However, they are powerful, nonetheless.
