This book was released on 2007-02-20 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available for U.S. Customers only. This book is non-returnable. A beautiful, slip-cased edition ofThe Jerusalem Crown (Keter) Bible, printed in Israel on acid-free Bible paper. Crimson, partially gold-embossed linen cover. The manuscript usually referred to as the Aleppo Codex is also known as keter (crown; arabic taj):; “Crown of Aleppo”; or; “Crown of ben Asher.”; Written in the early 10th century in Tiberias, it is the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible. The vocalization signs and accentuation marks as well as the masorah (a system of comments cross-referencing the spelling and the occurrence of particular words) were inserted by Aaron ben Asher, the most famous grammarian and scribe of his time. Because of his great attention to detail and accuracy, the keter became the most authoritative Hebrew Bible text. The codex has a rich and dramatic history. It was stolen in the 11th century and brought to Egypt. It is believed that Maimonides copied from it in Cairo when he wrote his own torah scroll, and there are indications that he referred to the Aleppo Codex when preparing the hilkhot sefer tora section of his most famous work, the Mishneh Torah. From Cairo the codex was moved to Aleppo in the 14th century, where it remained in the Jewish community for more than 500 years. In 1947, anti-Jewish riots took place in Syria, protesting the UN resolution to divide Palestine. The synagogues in Aleppo were burned and the codex was presumably damaged in a fire. It was hidden until it could be brought to Israel in 1958. Unfortunately, a considerable portion—almost the entire first five books—was missing. Renowned scholar Rabbi Mordechai Breuer worked for nearly 20 years reconstructing the lost parts. In 1956, the Hebrew University Bible Project in Jerusalem began making plans for an electronic version of the Bible based on the Aleppo Codex. As a result, Bible scholars now have what is widely believed to be the most accurate Hebrew Bible of all, and an alternative to Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, which is based on the Leningrad Codex. The Jerusalem Crown Bible, Keter Yerushalayim, is the first print edition of the Aleppo Codex. Jerusalem publisher Nahum Ben-Zvi worked with Zvi Narkiss, who created a new typeface, derived from the calligraphic square script of the original codex. The text was set in three columns, and then chapter and verse notations and the names of the weekly torah portions and their divisions for synagogue reading were added. In a short appendix Rabbi Breuer explains the principles of the text reproduction and lists the deviations from the Leningrad Codex. Dr. Mordechai Glatzer, a worldwide recognized expert in the history of printing, edited the companion volume. It contains contributions on various aspects of the manuscript's significance and in-depth descriptions of its history. Notably Dr. Yosef Ofer’s introduction to the Masorah clarifies where the codex’s authority stems from and why its text can be regarded as nearly error free. The realization of the Jerusalem Crown project was made possible through the generosity of the publisher Thomas Karger and the Karger Family Fund, Basel.

Download or read book Crown of Aleppo written by Hayim Tawil and published by Jewish Publication Society. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Crown of Aleppo, Hayim Tawil and Bernard Schneider tell the incredible story of the survival, against all odds, of the Aleppo Codex—one of the most authoritative and accurate traditional Masoretic texts of the Bible. Completed circa 939 in Tiberias, the Crown was created by exacting Tiberian scribes who copied the entire Bible into book form, adding annotations, vowel and cantillation marks, and precise commentary. Praised by Torah scholars for centuries after its writing, the Crown passed through history until the 15th century when it was housed in the Great Synagogue of Aleppo, Syria. When the synagogue was burned in the 1947 pogrom, the codex was thought to be destroyed, lost forever. That is where its great mystery begins. Miraculously, a significant portion of the Crown of Aleppo survived the fire and was smuggled from the synagogue ruins to an unknown location— presumably within the Aleppan Jewish community. Ten years later, the surviving pages of the codex were secretly brought to Israel and finally moved to their current location in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. "
Download or read book The Aleppo Codex written by Matti Friedman and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2014 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature A thousand years ago, the most perfect copy of the Hebrew Bible was written. It was kept safe through one upheaval after another in the Middle East, and by the 1940s it was housed in a dark grotto in Aleppo, Syria, and had become known around the world as the Aleppo Codex. Journalist Matti Friedman’s true-life detective story traces how this precious manuscript was smuggled from its hiding place in Syria into the newly founded state of Israel and how and why many of its most sacred and valuable pages went missing. It’s a tale that involves grizzled secret agents, pious clergymen, shrewd antiquities collectors, and highly placed national figures who, as it turns out, would do anything to get their hands on an ancient, decaying book. What it reveals are uncomfortable truths about greed, state cover-ups, and the fascinating role of historical treasures in creating a national identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keter Yerushalayim, the Jerusalem Crown, is the first edition of the Aleppo Codex as a printed Bible. This codex is the oldest known complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible. The famous grammarian and scribe Aaron ben Asher inserted the vocalization signs, accentuation marks and the Masorah. Because he also proofread the manuscript several times over, it became the authoritative text due to its accepted accuracy. After a long odyssey the codex found its way to Jerusalem in 1958, with unfortunately a major portion missing. In 1976 a facsimile of the manuscript was published and inspired the book edition closely resembling the original text. Thanks to the painstaking work of the renowned Scholar Rabbi Mordechai Breuer, the lost parts - almost the entire Pentateuch - could be reconstructed. To emulate the original, the Jerusalem Crown is laid out in three columns and employs a unique typeface re-creating the calligraphy of the Aleppo Codex. The census for the chapters and verses as well as the names of the weekly torah portions and their divisions for the synagogal reading were added. A short appendix explains the principles of the text recreation and lists the deviations from the standard Leningrad Codex.

There is also a sample chapter of the companion volume included in the set which is presented in a gold-embossed dark-blue folder of raw silk.

Download or read book Sanctuary of the Divine Presence written by J. Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-26 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kabbalistic initiatory teachings for becoming a vessel for illumination, prophecy, and peace by creating an inner dwelling place for God’s divine presence • Reveals practices for self mastery and revelation based on the holy design of the first Hebrew Sanctuary, the lives of the Hebrew Prophets, and the Tree of Life • Shows how the Tree of Life’s ten sefirot correspond to the Torah’s prophetic Ten Songs of Creation; to alchemical ritual practices of fire, water, air, and earth; and to specific parts of the body, emotions, and aspects of the soul Many synagogues and churches, including the First and Second Temples of the Hebrews, follow an archetypal design first used in the Ohel Moed, or Tent of Meeting, and its sacred Tabernacle, which housed the Ark of the Covenant and the Ten Commandments. Drawing from a wealth of sources including the Hebrew Bible, the oral Mishnaic tradition of Judaism, and 16th-century Judaic texts, Zohara Hieronimus explains how, like the Ohel Moed, we are designed to receive and reflect the divine qualities of the Creator. Exploring the kabbalistic initiatory teachings within the Chassidic tradition of Judaism and the lives and writings of the Hebrew prophets, she reveals how our physical and spiritual worlds are not separate but interdependent, one affecting the other, often in unexpected and sometimes miraculous ways. Examining the ten-part system of Kabbalah’s Tree of Life as reflected in the holy design of the Hebrews’ first Sanctuary, Hieronimus shows how the Tree of Life’s ten sefirot correspond to the Torah’s prophetic Ten Songs of Creation; to alchemical ritual practices of fire, water, air, and earth; and to specific parts of the body, emotions, and aspects of the soul. Starting from Malchut (Kingdom) at the bottom of the Tree of Life and ascending to Keter (Crown) at the top, the author discusses related biblical and scholarly texts and traditional Hebrew practices and teachings that can lead to spiritual enlightenment, illumination, and peace, allowing each of us to become a sanctuary for God’s presence through self-refinement, ritual devotion, and prayer, as practiced since biblical times.

The prestigious Special Edition of the Keter Yerushalayim is limited to 480 hand-numbered, gilt-edged copies. They are bound in richly embossed and partially gold-tooled crimson leather, accompanied by the companion volume. History Aaron ben Moses ben Asher wrote the Aleppo Codex in the year 930 in the city of Tiberias. This codex consisted of 480 pages and contained all parts of the Old Testament, the 5 books of Moses (Torah), the prophets and the scriptures. The codex was stolen in the 11th century and brought to Egypt. It is believed that Maimonides copied from it in Cairo when he wrote his own Torah scroll. From Cairo the codex was moved to Aleppo in the 14th century where it remained in the Jewish community for more than 500 years. The community held the "keter" in very high esteem - there was a strong belief that the manuscript symbolized its well-being. When in 1947 anti-Jewish riots took place in Syria as a reaction to the United Nations resolution to divide Palestine and the synagogues in Aleppo were burnt, the manuscript was in great danger: Presumably damaged, it was hidden until it could be brought to Israel in 1958. Unfortunately, a considerable portion - almost the entire pentateuch - was missing, only 294 pages could be found. It is due to nearly 20 years of dedicated work by the renowned Scholar Rabbi Mordechai Breuer that the lost parts could be reconstructed. Today the codex itself can be found in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in the "Shrine of the Book".

Download or read book A Crown for the King written by Ibn Gabirol and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Crown (or, "A Crown for the King" in Slavitt's translation) is the greatest of Gabirol's poems. Its theme is the problem of the human predicament: the frailty of man and his proclivity to sin, in tension with a benign providence that must leave room for the operation of man's free will and also make available to him the means of penitence. The Royal Crown is still printed in prayerbooks of the Sephardic rite for the Day of Atonement, and among North African Jewish communities (and their offshoots in Israel and elsewhere) it is read communally before the morning service of the Day. In northern Europe and the West this custom has lapsed, however the Royal Crown is still used for private penitential reading.
Download or read book The Kabbalistic Mirror of Genesis written by David Chaim Smith and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold line-by-line reexamination of the first 3 chapters of Genesis that reveals the essential nature of mind and creativity • Deconstructs each line of Genesis chapters 1-3 with esoteric methods derived from the oral teachings of the Kabbalah • Reveals the sefirot, the Tree of Life, as the Divine blueprint of the creative process • Explains how Genesis reveals the Divinity of mind and consciousness Hidden within the first three chapters of Genesis rests one of the greatest jewels of Western mystical literature. For millennia religious literalism has dominated our understanding of the Bible, imprisoning its subtle inner wisdom within the most coarse and superficial aspects of the narrative. Generations have been led to believe that Genesis 1-3 is only a primitive proto-cosmic history, a mythological explanation of the human moral disposition, a religious fairy tale. But by accepting the text as pure kabbalistic metaphor, the mystical content of Genesis springs forth, revealing the Divine nature of creativity as well as a new understanding of the human mind. Deconstructing each line of Genesis 1-3 with esoteric methods derived from the oral teachings of the Kabbalah, David Chaim Smith reveals how the ten sefirot, collectively known as the Tree of Life, are not simply a linear hierarchy. They are a unified interdependent whole with ten interactive functions, forming the template through which creative diversity manifests. Through acts of creation and creativity, the mind expresses its Divine nature. Through our Divine creative power, we are able to touch upon Ain Sof (the infinite), the lifeblood of all creative expression. Smith’s line-by-line examination of Genesis 1-3 reveals a complete model not only of Divine creativity but also of the predicament of the human mind, of the Divine nature of consciousness as well as our inability to recognize the mind’s Divinity. With this new interpretation, which removes the concept of a Creator God, we are able to transcend the contrasting notions of “being” and “non-being” at the heart of conventional habits of perception and awaken a new mystical understanding of Unity and the fathomless depth of Divinity.
