Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can anyone say anything that has not already been said about the most scrutinized text in human history? In one of the most radical rereadings of the opening chapters of Genesis since The Zohar, David Kishik manages to do just that. The Book of Shem, a philosophical meditation on the beginning of the Bible and the end of the world, offers an inspiring interpretation of this navel of world literature. The six parts of the primeval story—God's creation, the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark, the first covenant, and the Tower of Babel—come together to address a single concern: How does one become the human being that one is? By closely analyzing the founding text of the Abrahamic religions, this short treatise rethinks some of their deepest convictions. With a mixture of reverence and violence, Kishik's creative commentary demonstrates the post-secular implications of a pre-Abrahamic position. A translation of the Hebrew source, included as an appendix, helps to peel away the endless layers of presuppositions about its meaning.

Download or read book The Spirit of the Place written by Samuel Shem and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the The House of God comes an ambitious novel about the complicated relationships between mothers and sons, doctors and patients, the past and the present, and love and death... Settled into a relationship with an Italian yoga instructor and working in Europe, Dr. Orville Rose's peace is shaken by his mother's death. On his return to Columbia, a Hudson River town of quirky people and “plagued by breakage,” he learns that his mother has willed him a large sum of money, her 1981 Chrysler, and her Victorian house in the center of town. There's one odd catch: he must live in her house for one year and thirteen days. As he struggles with his decision—to stay and meet the terms of the will or return to his life in Italy—Orville reconnects with family, reunites with former friends, and comes to terms with old rivals and bitter memories. In the process he’ll discover his own history, as well as his mother’s, and finally learn what it really means to be a healer, and to be healed.
Download or read book Mount Misery written by Samuel Shem and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Laws of Mount Misery: There are no laws in psychiatry. Now, from the author of the riotous, moving, bestselling classic, The House of God, comes a lacerating and brilliant novel of doctors and patients in a psychiatric hospital. Mount Misery is a prestigious facility set in the rolling green hills of New England, its country club atmosphere maintained by generous corporate contributions. Dr. Roy Basch (hero of The House of God) is lucky enough to train there *only to discover doctors caught up in the circus of competing psychiatric theories, and patients who are often there for one main reason: they've got good insurance. From the Laws of Mount Misery: Your colleagues will hurt you more than your patients. On rounds at Mount Misery, it's not always easy for Basch to tell the patients from the doctors: Errol Cabot, the drug cowboy whose practice provides him with guinea pigs for his imaginative prescription cocktails . . . Blair Heiler, the world expert on borderlines (a diagnosis that applies to just about everybody) . . . A. K. Lowell, née Aliyah K. Lowenschteiner, whose Freudian analytic technique is so razor sharp it prohibits her from actually speaking to patients . . . And Schlomo Dove, the loony, outlandish shrink accused of having sex with a beautiful, well-to-do female patient. From the Laws of Mount Misery: Psychiatrists specialize in their defects. For Basch the practice of psychiatry soon becomes a nightmare in which psychiatrists compete with one another to find the best ways to reduce human beings to blubbering drug-addled pods, or incite them to an extreme where excessive rage is the only rational response, or tie them up in Freudian knots. And all the while, the doctors seem less interested in their patients' mental health than in a host of other things *managed care insurance money, drug company research grants and kickbacks, and their own professional advancement. From the Laws of Mount Misery: In psychiatry, first comes treatment, then comes diagnosis. What The House of God did for doctoring the body, Mount Misery does for doctoring the mind. A practicing psychiatrist, Samuel Shem brings vivid authenticity and extraordinary storytelling gifts to this long-awaited sequel, to create a novel that is laugh-out-loud hilarious, terrifying, and provocative. Filled with biting irony and a wonderful sense of the absurd, Mount Misery tells you everything you'll never learn in therapy. And it's a hell of a lot funnier.

Download or read book The Light and Fire of the Baal Shem Tov written by Yitzhak Buxbaum and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2006-09-05 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a life, in stories, of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (1700-1760), the founder of Hasidism. The Baal Shem Tov, or the Besht, as he is commonly called, led a revival in Judaism that put love and joy at the center of religious life and championed the piety of the common folk against the rabbinic establishment. He has been recognized as one of the greatest teachers in Jewish history, and much of what is alive and vibrant in Judaism today, in all denominations, derives from his inspiration. Abraham Joshua Heschel, who was descended from several illustrious Hasidic dynasties, wrote: "The Baal Shem Tov brought heaven to earth. He and his disciples, the Hasidim, banished melancholy from the soul and uncovered the ineffable delight of being a Jew.">
Download or read book Go Tell My People Who They Are the True Biblical Identity of Black People written by Janice Rozett Swinton and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superiority of any race is not a biblical construct; it is a human one – out of one man came every race – Acts 17:26 states, “And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes) , and this “one common origin and source” is Kushitic or Cushitic. We are all descendents from Adam and Eve, made in the image of God (I Corinthians 14:45). It is from this root that all the peoples of the world developed. It was God who placed each of Noah's sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth's in boundaries that he had established for their habitation, Ham and Shem occupying what we call today Africa and Arabia, and Japheth in the far North. It is God who also allotted each their own periods to dominate and rule in the earth, their very definitive allotment of times, Ham, Shem and now Japheth. I will put forth in this work evidence, biblically, archaeologically, anthropologically, scientific genetic DNA evidence that will clearly delineate the pre-flood inhabitants, and each of the nations of people that came forth after the flood with Noah's sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth; as well as explore the root of racism based on skin color and the ancient biblical landscape and its peoples. We will explore the ancient landscape of Mesopotamia looking at Sumer and Shinar, the dispersion of the people at the Tower and the development of the different tongues and races; then we will look at Japheth's sons and the Age of Discovery, the development of European Imperialism and its resultant racist agenda that led to the African slave trade, the colonization of Africa and the atrocities and horrors that has led to racism based on black skin and religion resulting in the Holocaust. We will explore the biblical truth of the black nations through the lens of God, not man. What does God say about the Ethiopian who He declared could not change his skin color; this truth as the prophet Jeremiah brought forth will also be revealed. Just who are the Kushitic peoples and how did they become the root of all the races. How did Kush get in the Garden of Eden and what does Kush have to do with the development of Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya. This work will explore Egypt and Israel's ancient history and relationship; it will look at the true ethnicity of the Ancient Israelites, the Canaanites, and the Semites, Ethiopians, Assyrians, the Babylonians and the Egyptians, and the prophetic word for them in these last days. Satan is the father and the source for lies and deception, and this work will look at the deep deception and lies that have been put forth to hide the true identity of Ham's black sons and Shem's brown ones. It is a timely look at Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Arabia, and all the rumbling and shakings that are now gripping what we know as the Ancient Biblical Landscape of the Torah, and this impacts its descendents dispersed around the world in the African Diaspora. The truth has been concealed for centuries but God is bringing the true revelation in this book. It is a must read for every human being living today who wants to know the truth and be set free as only God's truth can do.

Download or read book We Have To Talk written by Samuel Shem and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1999-04-23 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We have to talk.” For many men, these are the four worst words in the English language, especially when they're uttered by a female partner. But it doesn't have to be that way, argue Samuel Shem and Janet Surrey in their pathbreaking and practical new book. “Male relational dread”—that all-too-familiar reaction set off by women's “relational yearnings”—can be tamed, and in its place can emerge true satisfaction for men and women.To demonstrate how this is done, Shem and Surrey take us behind the scenes of their popular workshops. We hear couples speak intimately about anger, guilt, resentment, shame, and sex. We watch them wrestle collectively with the gender divide in their relationships—the deep disconnects, or “impasses,” that reflect the vastly different developmental paths men and women have traveled. We see couples learn to bridge the poles of dread and yearning, to emerge from isolation into mutuality. We witness their moments of sadness, humor, and, ultimately, discovery.Filled with moving stories of real people struggling with real problems, We Have to Talk shatters the “rules” and offers dramatic proof that men and women are not from different planets after all. It is certain to be seen as the relationship book for the new millennium.

Download or read book Founder of Hasidism written by Moshe Rosman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book goes farther than any previous work in uncovering the historical Israel ben Eliezer--known as the Ba'al Shem Tov, or the Besht--the eighteenth-century Polish-Jewish mystic who profoundly influenced the shape of modern Judaism. As the progenitor of Hasidism, the Ba'al Shem Tov is one of the key figures in Jewish history; to understand him is to understand an essential element of modern Jewish life and religion. Because evidence about his life is scanty and equivocal, the Besht has long eluded historians and biographers. Much of what is believed about him is based on stories compiled more than a generation after his death, many of which serve to mythologize rather than describe their subject. Rosman's study casts a bright new light on the traditional stories about the Besht, confirming and augmenting some, challenging others. By concentrating on accounts attributable directly to the Besht or to contemporary eyewitnesses, Rosman provides a portrait drawn from life rather than myth. In addition, documents in Polish and Hebrew discovered by Rosman during the research for this book enable him to give the first detailed description of the cultural, social, economic, and political context of the Ba'al Shem Tov's life.
