Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Writings of Isaac M. Wise: With a Biography At a meeting of the Alumnal Association of the Hebrew Union College, held at Richmond, Va., in the month of December, 1898, it was resolved that the alumni celebrate the eightieth birthday of their teacher, the President of the Hebrew Union College, by publishing a volume of selections from his writings. The task of editing the book was intrusted to the two members of the alumni who are resident in Cincinnati. They were also requested to write a biography of the master as an introduction to the volume. It was hoped that the book would appear on the day of the celebration, March 14, 1899. A number of untoward circumstances, however, prevented this. In the meantime, the great leader has been called to his eternal rest. This volume, therefore, assumes the form of a tribute to the memory of their beloved teacher from his disciples, the graduates of the College. The first part of the biography (pp. 1-58) is from the pen of David Philipson, and Louis Gross-mann has written the second part (pp. 59-111).

Download or read book The Chosen Wars written by Steven R. Weisman and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An important beginning to understanding the truth over myth about Judaism in American history” (New York Journal of Books), Steven R. Weisman tells the dramatic story of the personalities that fought each other and shaped this ancient religion in America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The struggles that produced a redefinition of Judaism illuminate the larger American experience and the efforts by all Americans to reconcile their faith with modern demands. The narrative begins with the arrival of the first Jews in New Amsterdam and plays out over the nineteenth century as a massive immigration takes place at the dawn of the twentieth century. First there was the practical matter of earning a living. Many immigrants had to work on the Sabbath or traveled as peddlers to places where they could not keep kosher. Doctrine was put aside or adjusted. To take their places as equals, American Jews rejected their identity as a separate nation within America. Judaism became an American religion. These profound changes did not come without argument. Steven R. Weisman’s “lucid and entertaining” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) The Chosen Wars tells the stories of the colorful rabbis and activists—including Isaac Mayer Wise, Mordecai Noah, David Einhorn, Rebecca Gratz, and Isaac Lesser—who defined American Judaism and whose disputes divided it into the Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox branches that remain today. “Only rarely does an author succeed in writing a book that reframes how we perceive our own history. The Chosen Wars is...fascinating and provocative” (Jewish Journal).

Download or read book Wissenschaft des Judentums Beyond Tradition written by Dorothea M. Salzer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scholarly study of the texts traditionally regarded as sacred in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam has been an important aspect of Wissenschaft des Judentums and was often conceptualized as part of Jewish theology. Featuring studies on Isaak Markus Jost's Jewish children's Bible, Samson Raphael Hirsch's complex position on the question whether or not the Hebrew Bible is to be understood within the context of the Ancient Orient, Isaac Mayer Wise's "The Origin of Christianity," Ignaz Goldziher’s Scholarship on the Qur'an, modern translators of the Qur'an into Hebrew, and the German translation of the Talmud, the volume attempts to shed light on some aspects of this phenomenon, which as a whole seems to have received few scholarly attention, and to contextualize it within the contemporary intellectual currents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive and insightful reinterpretation of antebellum culture, Anne C. Rose analyzes the major shifts in intellectual life that occurred between 1830 and 1860 while exploring three sets of concepts that provided common languages-Christianity, democracy, capitalism. Whereas many interpretations of American culture in this period have emphasized a single theme or have been preoccupied with the ensuing Civil War, Rose considers sharply divergent tendencies in religion and politics and a wide range of reformers, authors, and other public figures.

Download or read book Jewish Reform Movement in the US written by Mara W. Cohen Ioannides and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the development of the non-liturgical parts of the Central Conference of American Rabbis’ Haggadot. Through an understanding of the changes in American Jewish educational patterns and the CCAR's theology, it explores how the CCAR Haggadah was changed over time to address the needs of the constituency. While there have been many studies of the Haggadah and its development over the course of Jewish history, there has been no such study of the non-liturgical parts of the Haggadah that reflect the needs of the audience it reaches. How the CCAR, the first and largest of American-born Judaisms, addressed the changing needs of its members through its literature for the Passover Seder reveals much about the development of the movement. This in turn provides for the readers of this book an understanding of how American Judaism has developed.
