Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where was God when six million died? The twentieth century has never presented a more serious theological question. Over the past forty years it has haunted a series of writers. In this study, Dan Cohn-Sherbok explores the work of eight major Holocaust theologians. He argues that all ultimately fail to reconcile, as they must, the reality of suffering with the loving kindness of God. In the final chapter, he quarries from the Jewish tradition his own solution, which confronts the evil of Nazism but still leaves room for hope.
Download or read book The Zionist Illusion written by Haim Ben-Asher and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2010-07-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This internal critique of Zionism challenges three notions: that the Jews are a nation; that exile is the main cause of their past suffering, and that Jewish history is made solely in Israel. Zionism is an illusion because it has failed to ‘normalize’ the Jewish condition. In particular, it has not eliminated anti-Semitism, but rather cultivates it in order to keep Jews within the fold.Once independent, the State of Israel emptied the Middle East and North Africa of their Jewish populations and prevented large numbers of Soviet Jews from settling in North America, or anywhere else but Israel. Now the target is France, but French Jews, though massively Zionist, are reluctant to emigrate. Israel, it seems, cannot thrive and prosper without draining the Diaspora of its finances, its youth – indeed its very identity.Israeli control of Jerusalem has not brought the Messianic age any closer. Rabbis used to worry that the Holocaust could mean that God abrogated His covenant with the Jews. Israel’s victory in 1967 convinced them that the covenant still holds. The Holocaust has, however, encouraged Jewish paganism, as Jews adulate power and define themselves purely as an ethnic group: Hitlerjuden. The State of Israel claims to be the culmination of Jewish history, but its leaders insist that we are still in the rut of 1938.The State of Israel is perfectly capable of defending itself and has no need of solidarity rallies in the Diaspora. Zionism allows the Jewish establishment to retain power, but reduces the Diaspora to a subordinate role. Yet Judaism was born and developed in exile. If Jews divest themselves of their siege mentality, Judaism can become a university for adults, without examinations or tuition fees, open to all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever wondered what being born Jewish should mean to you; if you want to find out more about the nature of Judaism, or explain it to a friend; if you are thinking about how Judaism can connect with the rest of your life -- this is the first book you should own. It poses, and thoughtfully addresses, questions like these: Can one doubt God's existence and still be a good Jew? Why do we need organized religion? Why shouldn't I intermarry? What is the reason for dietary laws? How do I start practicing Judaism?

It has become a classic and very widely read introduction to the oldest living religion.

Download or read book Holocaust Theology written by Dan Cohn-Sherbok and published by Harper San Francisco. This book was released on 1989 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the approaches of eight Jewish philosophers and theologians (Bernard Maza, Ignaz Maybaum, Emil Fackenheim, Eliezer Berkovits, Arthur Cohen, Richard Rubenstein, Elie Wiesel, and Marc Ellis) to the religious dilemma posed by the Holocaust. Criticizes their lack of reference to the Hereafter. The traditional Jewish concepts of messianic redemption, resurrection, final judgment, and eternal life have allowed Jews throughout the centuries to reconcile their belief in a benevolent and merciful God with the terrible tragedies they have endured. Only these concepts can sustain Jewish belief in a providential God after the Holocaust.

Download or read book With God in Hell written by Eliezer Berkovits and published by Hebrew Publishing Company. This book was released on 1979 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of religious faith and its role in Judaism through examination of the persistence of faith in the most trying circumstances, during the Holocaust. Discusses issues such as the preservation of human dignity (creation in God's image), the authenticity of existence, confronting the final truth, living vs. surviving. Relates many instances of Jewish observance, contending that "the authentic Jew" acted from a position of spiritual freedom. The believing Jew knows that evil will not prevail, but the Jews made a mistake when they did not organize en masse during the Holocaust period to fight it. Although Judaism is anti-militaristic, and preaches tolerance and respect for life, the moral duty to stand up and fight against evil should be incorporated into Judaism's value system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expounds a wide spectrum of problems of post-Holocaust theology: Christianity and Nazism; psychoanalytic interpretation of the connection between religion and the Final Solution; the religious meaning of the Holocaust; the Auschwitz convent controversy. Argues that Nazism as theory and practice was neither the ultimate expression of atheism nor a kind of neo-paganism; on the contrary, it was a monotheistic "anti-religion" which emerged as a rebellion against Christianity, but greatly used its ideas and images, especially that of the "mythological Jew", "Judas". Reveals the religiomythic element in the Holocaust (e.g. the perpetrators fulfilled a religious mission), which singles out this phenomenon from the other cases of genocide. ǂc (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).

Download or read book Constantine s Sword written by James Carroll and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2002 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare book that combines searing passion with a subject that has affected all of our lives. "Chicago Tribune" Novelist, cultural critic, and former priest James Carroll marries history with memoir as he maps the two-thousand-year course of the Church s battle against Judaism and faces the crisis of faith it has sparked in his own life. Fascinating, brave, and sometimes infuriating ("Time"), this dark history is more than a chronicle of religion. It is the central tragedy of Western civilization, its fault lines reaching deep into our culture to create a deeply felt work ("San Francisco Chronicle") as Carroll wrangles with centuries of strife and tragedy to reach a courageous and affecting reckoning with difficult truths."
Download or read book Holocaust Denial as an International Movement written by Stephen E. Atkins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of World War II saw an emergence of Holocaust dissention that began in Europe and has since developed into an international movement with adherents in almost every country in the world. At first, this denial was fueled by the desire to rehabilitate Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime in an effort to reestablish a neo-Nazi state. In the following years, coupled with the renewal of anti-Semitism, this dissent has been used as a means of denying the legitimacy of the state of Israel. Despite these motivations, the ultimate cause for concern is in the way this denial attracts its members by both challenging the existence of the Holocaust and the testimony of its witnesses. By tracing the history, causes, and spread of Holocaust denial, Atkins reveals the dangers this mindset poses to rational thinkers who become vulnerable to fringe ideas. This book traces the state of the international Holocaust denial movement in the early 21st century, grounding contemporary thought in the history of the movement. Since Holocaust deniers have distorted the facts about this mass genocide, Atkins discusses just what is known about the Holocaust from historical research conducted since World War II. The role of negative racial genetics is explored in both Hitler's intellectual makeup and among the leaders of the German right wing, including historians' assessments of Hitler's anti-Semitism, motivations, and decision-making. Also provided is a roll call of Holocaust dissenters in countries such as the United States, Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, and Italy, among many others. By analyzing the arguments of leaders within this expanding dissention movement, this book demonstrates how extremists build informational links that have wide-ranging effects.
Download or read book The Holocaust Industry written by Norman G. Finkelstein and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most controversial book of the year." –Guardian A controversial indictment of those who exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for personal and political gain This iconoclastic study was one of the most widely debated books of 2000. Finkelstein indicts with both vigor and honesty those who exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for their own personal political and financial gain. This new edition includes updated material discussing the initial reception to the book’s publication. In an iconoclastic and controversial new study, Norman G. Finkelstein moves from an interrogation of the place the Holocaust has come to occupy in American culture to a disturbing examination of recent Holocaust compensation agreements. It was not until the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, when Israel’s evident strength brought it into line with US foreign policy, that memory of the Holocaust began to acquire the exceptional prominence it enjoys today. Leaders of America’s Jewish community were delighted that Israel was now deemed a major strategic asset and, Finkelstein contends, exploited the Holocaust to enhance this newfound status. Their subsequent interpretations of the tragedy are often at variance with actual historical events and are employed to deflect any criticism of Israel and its supporters. Recalling Holocaust fraudsters such as Jerzy Kosinski and Binjamin Wilkomirski, as well as the demagogic constructions of writers like Daniel Goldhagen, Finkelstein contends that the main danger posed to the memory of Nazism’s victims comes not from the distortions of Holocaust deniers but from prominent, self-proclaimed guardians of Holocaust memory. Drawing on a wealth of untapped sources, he exposes the double shakedown of European countries as well as legitimate Jewish claimants, and concludes that the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket. Thoroughly researched and closely argued, The Holocaust Industry is all the more disturbing and powerful because the issues it deals with are so rarely discussed.
