Download or read book Your Word Is Fire written by and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of prayer for spiritual renewal and personal transformation is at the core of all religious traditions. Because Hasidic literature contains no systematic manual of contemplative prayer, the texts included in this volume have been culled from many sources. From the teachings of the Hasidic Masters—the Ba'al Shem Tov, the Maggid Dov Baer of Meidzyrzec, and their immediate disciples—the editors have gleaned "hints as to the various rungs of inner prayer and how they are attained." Hasidism, the Jewish revivalist movement that began in the late eighteenth century, saw prayer as being at the heart of religious experience and was particularly concerned with the nature of a person’s relationship with God. The obstacles to prayer discussed by the Hasidic masters—distraction, loss of spirituality, and inconstancy of purpose—feel very close to concerns of our own age. Through advice, parables, and explanations, the Hasidic masters of the past speak to our own attempts to find meaning in prayer.

Download or read book The New Education in Religion written by Henry Berkowitz and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Education in Religion: With a Curriculum of Jewish Studies The traveler into a new country is safest with a guide. The guide must be familiar with the ground to be traversed, and through his knowledge and experience, must command full confidence. Our children as they enter the Religious School are to be guided into a strange and untried domain. The teacher is the guide to whom they look with unquestioning confidence in his knowledge and sincerity. To merit this trust and to fulfil it, is to have at once the greatest of responsibilities and the most joyous of privileges. That trust falls upon every parent when the mysterious gift of a new life - that of a child, comes into the home, for upon the influence of the parental example, training and instruction, more than upon aught else will depend the whole future of the child's character, conduct and soul culture. The first school from Patriarchal days was the home, and the home still is and will ever remain the earliest and most important school of child-training. "A child's mind," said one of the Rabbis, "is like a clean tablet on which nothing has been written." The first records on that tablet are made in the home and their impress is indelible. Therefore, every earnest parent is eager to find help to be a safe and wise teacher, friend and guide to his child. These lessons aim to place within the reach of parents the results of the study and experience of those who have gone over the ground in advance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Life From Jewish Proverbs A writer of many books once said to me that he regretted every preface he had written. Seeing that I have the highest respect for his talents, I am constrained to take to heart the moral, which (particularly in a book on proverbs) would seem to be least said, soonest mended. But whatever else he may choose to leave unsaid, an author is expected to give away his secret in the preface, making known his intentions as discreetly as he can but still explicitly. That duty accomplished, he is at liberty to give thanks, and so conclude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Reform Movement in Judaism Classic Reprint written by David Philipson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reform Movement in Judaism IN October, 1897, I published in the Jewish Quarterly Review an article entitled The Progress of the Jewish Reform Movement in the United States. This article was the beginning of a series of further studies on the reform movement in Judaism. These studies, which form the chapters of this book, aim to present a connected story of the progressive movement in Judaism, the most striking Jewish religious phenomenon of modern times. It has been possible in this survey to take account only of the corporate activities which translated the theories of the reformers into practice. Many statements of individ ual scholars and writers, however interesting as contribu tions to the store of liberal Jewish thought, could not be included, since this is not a history of the literary output, but of the practical achievements of reform. This 'point can be well illustrated by adverting to the case of Russia. There a number of prominent writers have pleaded strong ly for reforms in religious practice and belief, but no pub lic official steps have been taken towards carrying out these reforms. The reform movement has found no lodgment in the corporate and congregational Jewish life of Russia, hence no chapter is devoted to Russia in this work, how ever illuminating might be the statements that can be culled from the writings of Russian Jewish authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Israel: An Echo of Eternity is Dr. Heschel's book about the past, present, and future home of the Jews.

We are God's stake in human history. We are the dawn and the dusk, the challenge and the test. The presence of Israel is the repudiation of despair.
