Download or read book Early Jewish Prayers in Greek written by Pieter W. van der Horst and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-12-10 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past few decades a great amount of scholarly work has been done on the various prayer cultures of antiquity, both Graeco-Roman and Jewish and Christian. In Jewish studies this burgeoning research on ancient prayer has been stimulated particularly by the many new prayer texts found at Qumran, which have shed new light on several long-standing problems. The present volume intends to make a new contribution to the ongoing scholarly debate on ancient Jewish prayer texts by focusing on a limited set of prayer texts, scil. , a small number of those that have been preserved only in Greek. Jewish prayers in Greek tend to be undervalued, which is regrettable because these prayers shed light on sometimes striking aspects of early Jewish spirituality in the centuries around the turn of the era. In this volume twelve such prayers have been collected, translated, and provided with an extensive historical and philological commentary. They have been preserved on papyrus, on stone, and as part of Christian church orders into which some of them have been incorporated in a christianized from. For that reason these prayers are of great interest to scholars of both early Judaism and ancient Christianity.

Download or read book Jewish Prayer and Worship written by William Wynn Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about Jewish prayers; prayers used by Jews in the privacy of their homes and in the public worship of the synagogue; prayers which have been in use from before the time of Jesus; prayers which could enrich the life of Christians as they have enriched the lives of innumerable Jews down the ages. It is also a book of prayers, which may be left to make their own impact and perhaps become part of the life of Christians who have lived in ignorance of Jewish worship. 'A highly competent, helpful manual, providing many new examples of the beauty of holiness for those in search of this elusive but most significant category' (Rabbi Louis Jacobs). 'If there is anybody who needs convincing today that the old distinction between the God of wrath and exact requital, whom Jews were supposed to worship, and the God of love and forgiveness of Christianity, has disappeared, then this brief anthology and its introduction should be placed in their hands as soon as possible' (James Parkes). Long out of print, and never superseded, the book is now issued as a paperback for the first time.

For both the novice and for those who have been engaged in prayer for years, here is the one guide needed to practice Jewish prayer and understand the prayer book. From the origins and meaning of worship to a step-by-step explanation of the daily prayers to the reason you're not supposed to chat with your friends during services, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz answers many of the questions likely to arise about Jewish prayer. Here are chapters on daily prayer; Sabbath prayer; prayer services for the holidays; the yearly cycle of synagogue Bible readings; the history and makeup of the synagogue; the different prayer rites for Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Yemenites, and other cultural/geographic groupings; the role of the rabbi and the cantor in the synagogue; and the role of music in the service.

Book excerpt: I present here the results of my research of more than forty years into the origins of Jewish prayer in the first five centuries of the Common Era, known also as the epoch of early rabbinic Judaism, the time of the Mishnah and the Talmud, the era of the Tannaim and Amoraim, and the time of Jesus and early Christianity. I provide here my analysis of the textual evidence on the subject mainly from the books of the rabbis, the Mishnah, the Tosefta and the Talmud. I discuss in my book God's Favorite Prayers how difficult it is to recover the history of Jewish prayers, especially because the religious leaders who propounded them sought to convey the notion that the prayers are timeless, without visible origins. These studies are my conclusions over many years of research and study to present the origins of the greatest prayers of the Jewish people.

Download or read book Concealment and Revelation written by Moshe Halbertal and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, great new trends of Jewish thought emerged whose widely varied representatives--Kabbalists, philosophers, and astrologers--each claimed that their particular understanding revealed the actual secret of the Torah. They presented their own readings in a coded fashion that has come to be regarded by many as the very essence of esotericism. Concealment and Revelation takes us on a fascinating journey to the depths of the esoteric imagination. Carefully tracing the rise of esotericism and its function in medieval Jewish thought, Moshe Halbertal's richly detailed historical and cultural analysis gradually builds conceptual-philosophical force to culminate in a masterful phenomenological taxonomy of esotericism and its paradoxes. Among the questions addressed: What are the internal justifications that esoteric traditions provide for their own existence, especially in the Jewish world, in which the spread of knowledge was of great importance? How do esoteric teachings coexist with the revealed tradition, and what is the relationship between the various esoteric teachings that compete with that revealed tradition? Halbertal concludes that, through the medium of the concealed, Jewish thinkers integrated into the heart of the Jewish tradition diverse cultural influences such as Aristotelianism, Neoplatonism, and Hermeticisims. And the creation of an added concealed layer, unregulated and open-ended, became the source of the most daring and radical interpretations of the tradition.
