Book Pardes Rimonim  Parts 1 4

Download or read book Pardes Rimonim Parts 1 4 written by Moses ben Jacob Cordovero and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pardes Rimonim is a classic work of authentic Kabbalah penned by the preeminent scholar, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero (Ramak). A powerful intellect, fertile writer, and gigantic figure in Kabbalah, Ramak (circa 1520-1570) distinguished himself first in Talmudic studies while under the tutelage of Rabbi Yosef Caro. However, he began his Kabbalah studies at age 20 with Rabbi Shlomo Alkabetz, who was both his brother-in-law and composer of Lecha Dodi. In the Pardes, Ramak also displays a marked philosophical influence by the Rambam (Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, i.e. Maimonides). Indeed, Ramak's encyclopedic work in Kabbalah heralded the renaissance of kabbalistic genius that emerged after him in Safed. A comprehensive work collecting the kabbalistic learning of that time, the original Hebrew version of the Pardes was a single volume composed of 32 parts and was written in both Hebrew and Aramaic. This edition comprises 12 volumes, and this is volume 1.

Book The Song of Songs

  • Author : Ilana Pardes
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2019-08-13
  • ISBN : 0691194246
  • Pages : 294 pages

Download or read book The Song of Songs written by Ilana Pardes and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential history of the greatest love poem ever written The Song of Songs has been embraced for centuries as the ultimate song of love. But the kind of love readers have found in this ancient poem is strikingly varied. Ilana Pardes invites us to explore the dramatic shift from readings of the Song as a poem on divine love to celebrations of its exuberant account of human love. With a refreshingly nuanced approach, she reveals how allegorical and literal interpretations are inextricably intertwined in the Song's tumultuous life. The body in all its aspects—pleasure and pain, even erotic fervor—is key to many allegorical commentaries. And although the literal, sensual Song thrives in modernity, allegory has not disappeared. New modes of allegory have emerged in modern settings, from the literary and the scholarly to the communal. Offering rare insights into the story of this remarkable poem, Pardes traces a diverse line of passionate readers. She looks at Jewish and Christian interpreters of late antiquity who were engaged in disputes over the Song's allegorical meaning, at medieval Hebrew poets who introduced it into the opulent world of courtly banquets, and at kabbalists who used it as a springboard to the celestial spheres. She shows how feminist critics have marveled at the Song's egalitarian representation of courtship, and how it became a song of America for Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, and Toni Morrison. Throughout these explorations of the Song's reception, Pardes highlights the unparalleled beauty of its audacious language of love.

Book New Cosmopolitanisms

Download or read book New Cosmopolitanisms written by Gita Rajan and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2006-02-09 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an in-depth look at the ways in which technology, travel, and globalization have altered traditional patterns of immigration for South Asians who live and work in the United States, and explains how their popular cultural practices and aesthetic desires are fulfilled. They are presented as the twenty-first century’s “new cosmopolitans”: flexible enough to adjust to globalization’s economic, political, and cultural imperatives. They are thus uniquely adaptable to the mainstream cultures of the United States, but also vulnerable in a period when nationalism and security have become tools to maintain traditional power relations in a changing world.

Book Infrastructures financ  es par des ressources naturelles

Download or read book Infrastructures financ es par des ressources naturelles written by Håvard Halland and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis quelques dizaines d’années, les pays en développement riches en ressources naturelles utilisent ces dernières en tant que garanties pour obtenir accès à des sources de financement pour leurs investissements et contourner les obstacles qu’ils rencontrent lorsqu’ils s’efforcent d’obtenir des prêts traditionnels auprès des banques ou des capitaux sur les marchés financiers. Différents modèles de financement sont issus de ces efforts, parmi lesquels le modèle des infrastructures financées par des ressources naturelles (IFR) qui est une variante des modèles de prêts garantis par le pétrole lancés en Afrique par plusieurs banques occidentales. Dans le cadre d’une transaction basée sur le modèle des infrastructures financées par des ressources naturelles (IFR), un prêt contracté pour financer la construction immédiate d’une infrastructure est garanti par la valeur actuelle nette de flux de revenus qui seront générés à l’avenir par l’extraction d’hydrocarbures ou de minerais. Le modèle a été employé dans plusieurs pays africains pour des contrats d’une valeur totale de l’ordre de 30 milliards de dollars, selon des informations publiques. Ce rapport, qui se compose d’une étude préparée par Hunton & Williams LLP, spécialiste du financement de projets à l’échelle mondiale, et de commentaires formulés par six économistes et décideurs de réputation internationale présente une analyse des marchés d’infrastructures financées par des ressources naturelles (IFR) sous l’angle du financement de projets. Il a pour objet de provoquer une réflexion de fond et de servir de base à de nouveaux travaux de recherche sur le rôle du modèle IFR, les risques qu’il pose et les perspectives qu’il offre, sans pour autant prétendre présenter des opinons des contrats IFR qui auraient l’aval de la Banque mondiale. Il est le fruit d’un effort motivé par la conviction que, si les pays doivent continuer de solliciter des transactions IFR ou de recevoir des propositions spontanées, il incombe aux représentants de l’État de pouvoir faire la différence entre de bonnes et de mauvaises opérations, d’évaluer les compromis qui sont inévitables, et d’agir en conséquence. Ce rapport vise à apporter certains éclairages qui permettront de déterminer comment assujettir, dans le cadre de la politique publique, les transactions IFR au même degré d’examen que tout autre instrument que les autorités de pays à faible revenu ou à revenu intermédiaire (tranche inférieure) pourraient souhaiter utiliser pour mobiliser des financements à l’appui du développement.

Book Kabbalah and Literature

    Book Details:
  • Author : Kitty Millet
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • Release : 2024-01-11
  • ISBN : 1501359703
  • Pages : 273 pages

Download or read book Kabbalah and Literature written by Kitty Millet and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focuses on a range of Jewish and non-Jewish writers to examine the intersection of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition, and secular Jewish literatures. Kabbalah and Literature shows how the Jewish mystical tradition contributes to the renewal of literature in a modern, global, and increasingly disconnected age. Kitty Millet explores Kabbalah's conceptual underpinnings, aesthetic principles, tenets, and signifiers to demonstrate how literature's absorption of kabbalistic material has altered its ontology, function, and the tasks it sets for itself. Reading writers from Europe and the Americas, Kitty Millet maps how the kabbalist's desire to "recover Eden" transforms into a latent messianic drive only intuitable through text. Thus it charts a journey of sorts, a migration of Jewish mystical material embedded surreptitiously within text in order to shift ever so slightly at times the range of the literary to encompass an aesthetic vision not easily reducible to the literal, the known, the allegorical, or even the philosophical. In this way, Kabbalah and Literature proposes a novel, intuitive approach, shifting focus away from the Jewish text's epistemological elements to embrace its "secrets."

Book Orthodox Jews in America

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jeffrey S. Gurock
  • Publisher : Indiana University Press
  • Release : 2009-03-26
  • ISBN : 0253220602
  • Pages : 802 pages

Download or read book Orthodox Jews in America written by Jeffrey S. Gurock and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are many good books on the history of Jews in America and a smaller subset that focuses on aspects of Orthodox Judaism in contemporary times, no one, until now, has written an overview of how Orthodoxy in America has evolved over the centuries from the first arrivals in the 17th century to the present. This broad overview by Gurock (Libby M. Klaperman Professor of Jewish History, Yeshiva Univ.; Judaism's Encounter with American Sports) is distinctive in examining how Orthodox Jews have coped with the personal, familial, and communal challenges of religious freedom, economic opportunity, and social integration, as well as uncovering historical reactionary tensions to alternative Jewish movements in multicultural and pluralistic America. Gurock raises penetrating questions about the compatibility of modern culture with pious practices and sensitively explores the relationship of feminism to traditional Orthodox Judaism. There are several excellent reference sources on Orthodox Jews in America, e.g., Rabbi Moshe D. Sherman's outstanding Orthodox Judaism in America: A Biographical Dictionary and Sourcebook, to which this is an accessible and illuminating companion; recommended not only for serious readers on the topic but for general readers as well.David B.
