Download or read book The Lost Matriarch written by Jerry Rabow and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Matriarch offers a unique response to the sparse and puzzling biblical treatment of the matriarch Leah. Although Leah is a major figure in the book of Genesis, the biblical text allows her only a single word of physical description and two lines of direct dialogue. The Bible tells us little about the effects of her lifelong struggles in an apparently loveless marriage to Jacob, the husband she shares with three other wives, including her beautiful younger sister, Rachel. Fortunately, two thousand years of traditional and modern commentators have produced many fascinating interpretations (midrash) that reveal the far richer story of Leah hidden within the text. Through Jerry Rabow’s weaving of biblical text and midrash, readers learn the lessons of the remarkable Leah, who triumphed over adversity and hardship by living a life of moral heroism. The Lost Matriarch reveals Leah’s full story and invites readers into the delightful, provocative world of creative rabbinic and literary commentary. By experiencing these midrashic insights and techniques for reading “between the lines,” readers are introduced to what for many will be an exciting new method of personal Bible interpretation.

Download or read book On the Surface of Silence written by Lea Goldberg and published by Hebrew Union College Press. This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Surface of Silence offers for the first time in English the final poems of Lea Goldberg, pre-eminent and central poet of modern Hebrew poetry. These extraordinary texts, composed in the last years and even last days of the poet's life and published posthumously after her untimely death, exhibit a level of lyrical distillation and formal boldness that mark them as distinctive in the poet's oeuvre. Often employing a fragment-like structure, where the unspoken is as present and forceful as the spoken, stripped of adornments and engaging the reader with an uncompromising, even disarming, directness, Goldberg's last poems enact and manifest a poetics of intrepid truth-telling. The play between revelation and concealment, the language precision and the unflinching end-of-life gaze transform these texts into powerfully moving, and often surprising, poems. The book itself, in the original format as masterfully edited by Tuvia Ruebner and with drawings by Goldberg herself interspersed among the poems, is a significant and beautiful artifact of modern Hebrew culture. This bilingual edition, with translations by award-winning translator Rachel Tzvia Back, brings us poems from a singular poetic voice of the 20th century - poems which will enrich, reflect, and stir the reader's heart.

Download or read book LEAH Jacob Rachel written by Unknown Hebrew and published by Unknown Hebrew. This book was released on 2019-02-16 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know who the Matriarchs of the 12 tribes of Israel were? They were named Rachel and Leah, and their two handmaidens, Zilpah and Bilhah. Here we focus on the two central women in Jacob's life; Rachel and Leah, the sisters he married. When two women are married to the same man, it is easy to imagine the many problems that probably occur in this household, dysfunctionality being at the top of the list. The story only gets better as you continue to read; the more you read, the more you discover what this story is all about. Both Rachel and Leah are considered among the great women of the Bible. If you go to the book of Ruth 4:11, you will see what the witnesses exclaimed to Boaz when he married Ruth; it says, "And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The ELOHIM make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:" They were saying, may this woman be like Rachel and Leah; may she be a great blessing like these women. Leah, Rachel, and their two handmaidens bore the children that became the twelve tribes of Israel. Here is the order of their birth: Leah's first set of children: • Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah Bilhahs children: Dan, Naphtali Zilpah children: • Gad, Asher Leah's second set of children: • Issachar, Zebulun, (Dinah) Rachel's children: • Joseph, and Benjamin Two wives, two handmaidens, twelve sons, and one daughter were born to Jacob. It is a fantastic story, but there is a catch. You will never lose interest in the story of Jacob and his two wives, and it will answer the question that has haunted many people over the centuries; If Jacob hated Leah so much, why did he continue to have so many children with her? This dramatic story is a real page-turner; romance, deception, and cruelty are just some words that describe this epic story. Jacob pays for his bride and will more than prove his devotion and love for Rachel. But what about Leah? Consider scrolling up. clicking the buy now. and reading this book immediately

Download or read book WITH LOVE FROM ISRAEL written by Col KD Segan and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After floating in the Dead Sea, the six friends came out and started walking on the shore towards salt formations at a distance. Amyra and two girls were leading. Aghast they stopped abruptly, to see a thickset man holding a girl in bikinis and pushing her towards a fold in the piled-up salt formations. It infuriated Capt Shaurya Vardhan who saw the man with an arm-hold around the girl’s neck, flaunting a knife blade in his other hand. The girl was struggling and whimpering to let her go. The man was heard saying, ‘Co-operate with me and I won’t hurt you. Shaurya warned the goon in his deep voice, ‘stop there you rascal.’ Surprised, the man whirled around to face the challenger with a speed of a cobra stepped over. He shoved the girl behind him and came at the Captain, raising the knife aiming at his chest.
Download or read book God Is Not Fair Thank God written by George E. Thompson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is not fair. What does this reality imply about the nature of God and the destiny of human beings? In this engaging book, Thompson asserts that "fairness" is not an expectation of the faithful within the Judeo-Christian Scriptures. Biblical narrative discloses the mystery of a paradoxical deity that indwells with the suffering of creation and thereby provides a mercy that exceeds the evasive goal of fairness. The process of healing and redemption of this cracked creation occurs through the tears and suffering of the biblical God whose authentic power is revealed within divine vulnerability and weakness. The Jesus of history truly manifested the fullness of this paradoxical God, for he disclosed the richness of the divine Being by emptying himself and taking the form of a redemptive servant. When the church grasps for power and control, avoids compassionate and costly ministries among the poor and powerless, and renders primary focus upon gaining heavenly rewards, it rejects its Christ-centered mission, relinquishes its paradoxical purpose, and ceases to strive toward becoming an extension of the incarnation. Thompson explores various paradoxical facets of each person of the Trinity and richly illustrates with stories from his vast experience as a parish theologian.
