His most recent book, Israel at 50 traces this country's tumultuous path to national stability and its rocky relationship with the United States, the United Nations, and the Arab world. Israel at 50 discusses the crisis over the Suez Canal, the Camp David talks, the war in Old Jerusalem, and the effects of various leaders in the country's struggle for nationhood and longevity. Hohenberg analyzes the balance between Israel's relationship with the United States (which provides, $3 billion in aid to Israel) and that country's complex role regarding Saudi Arabia and the oil emirates, which supply the U.S. with more than one third of its annual oil supply. This book details the complexities of the politics that surround Israel from an expert who has studied the country for years. Hohenberg stresses the realities that an independent, self-governing state of Israel has had to overcome in the Middle East, the issues it still faces, and the role it continues to play as an American ally and a member of the United Nations.

Taking readers through the twelve points of the Shalom Sistas’ Manifesto, Moore experiments with practices of everyday peacemaking and invites readers to do the same. From dropping “love bombs” on a family vacation, to talking to the coach who called her son the n-word, to spreading shalom with a Swiffer, Moore offers bold steps for crossing lines between black and white, suburban and urban, rich and poor.

Download or read book Hope A Tragedy written by Shalom Auslander and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book 2012 The rural town of Stockton, New York, is famous for nothing: no one was born there, no one died there, nothing of any historical import at all has ever happened there, which is why Solomon Kugel, like other urbanites fleeing their pasts and histories, decided to move his wife and young son there. To begin again. To start anew. But it isn’t quite working out that way for Kugel… His ailing mother stubbornly holds on to life, and won’t stop reminiscing about the Nazi concentration camps she never actually suffered through. To complicate matters further, some lunatic is burning down farmhouses just like the one Kugel bought, and when, one night, he discovers history—a living, breathing, thought-to-be-dead specimen of history—hiding upstairs in his attic, bad quickly becomes worse. Hope: A Tragedy is a hilarious and haunting examination of the burdens and abuse of history, propelled with unstoppable rhythm and filled with existential musings and mordant wit. It is a comic and compelling story of the hopeless longing to be free of those pasts that haunt our every present.

The book features instructions for creating indoor and outdoor labyrinths; rituals to nourish fertility, confront and resolve conflict, honor grief or loss, and celebrate new beginnings; and resources for locating labyrinths around the world.

Download or read book Economic Morality and Jewish Law written by Aaron Levine (1946-2011) and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Morality and Jewish Law compares the way in which welfare economics and Jewish law determine the propriety of an economic action, whether by a private citizen or the government. Espousing what philosophers would call a consequentialist ethical system, welfare economics evaluates the worthiness of an economic action based on whether the action would increase the wealth of society in the long run. In sharp contrast, Jewish law espouses a deontological system of ethics. Within this ethical system, the determination of the propriety of an action is entirely a matter of discovering the applicable rule in Judaism's code of ethics. This volume explores a variety of issues implicating morality for both individual commercial activity and economic public policy. Issues examined include price controls, the living wage, the lemons problem, short selling, and Ronald Coase's seminal theories on negative externalities. To provide an analytic framework for the study of these issues, the work first delineates the normative theories behind the concept of economic morality for welfare economics and Jewish law, and presents a case study illustrating the deontological nature of Jewish law. The book introduces what for many readers will be a new perspective on familiar economic issues. Despite the very different approaches that welfare economics and Jewish law take in evaluating the worthiness of an economic action, the author reveals a remarkable symmetry between the two systems in their ultimate prescriptions for certain economic issues.
