Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the sacred texts of Judaism: ancient and lyrical reflections on the meaning of life, faith, and humanity. The Wisdom of the Kabbalah: Handed down in the oral tradition for thousands of years and transcribed in fourteenth-century Spain, the Kabbalah is the classical expression of Jewish mysticism. This collection draws from the main work of Kabbalah—Sepher ha-Zohar, or The Book of Splendor. The Wisdom of the Talmud: Developed in the Jewish academies of Palestine and Babylonia, the Talmud is the rabbinical commentary on the Torah. From man’s purpose and miracles, to marriage and wellness, to consciousness and community, the Talmud considers the practice of faith on a daily basis through a changing world. This approachable guide explores how interpretation of the Torah has informed Jewish life for thousands of years. The Wisdom of the Torah: In Hebrew, the word Torah means instruction, and for thousands of years, the Torah has provided instruction in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The inspirational selections in this collection include some of its most powerful and poetic passages, such as “The Poems of King David,” “The Parables of King Solomon,” and “The Love Songs of King Solomon.”
Download or read book Hebraic Literature Translations from the Talmud Midrashim and Kabbala written by Maurice Harris and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the Talmud? There is more than one answer. Ostensibly it is the corpus juris of the Jews from about the first century before the Christian era to about the fourth after it. But we shall see as we proceed that the Talmud was much more than this. The very word "Law" in Hebrew-"Torah"-means more than its translation would imply. The Jew interpreted his whole religion in terms of law. It is his name in fact for the Bible's first five books-the Pentateuch. To explain what the Talmud is we must first explain the theory of its growth more remarkable perhaps than the work itself. What was that theory? The Divine Law was revealed to Moses, not only through the Commands that were found written in the Bible, but also through all the later rules and regulations of post-exilic days. These additional laws it was presumed were handed down orally from Moses to Joshua, thence to the Prophets, and later still transmitted to the Scribes, and eventually to the Rabbis. The reason why the Rabbis ascribed to Moses the laws that they later evolved, was due to their intense reverence for Scripture, and their modest {iv} sense of their own authority and qualification. "If the men of old were giants then we are pigmies," said they. They felt and believed that all duty for the guidance of man was found in the Bible either directly or inferentially. Their motto was then, "Search the Scriptures," and they did search them with literalness and a painstaking thoroughness never since repeated. Not a word, not a letter escaped them. Every redundancy of expression was freighted with meaning, every repetition was made to give birth to new truth. Some of the inferences were logical and natural, some artificial and far-fetched, but all ingenious. Sometimes the method was inductive and sometimes deductive. That is, occasionally the Jewish Sanhedrin promulgated a needed law, and then its authority sought in the Scripture, or the Scripture would be sought in the first instance to reveal new law.

Download or read book Hebraic Literature Translations from the Talmud Midrashim and Kabbala written by Maurice Henry Harris and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maurice Henry Harris's superb translation and commentary on the sacred texts of Judaism are authentic, well-researched and impeccably presented. Together they form a superb introduction to Judaism and the Hebraic traditions. In this book, Harris undertakes a thorough study of the ancient Jewish texts, hoping to present them to Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike in a manner both accessible and comprehensible to English speakers. The result is this translated compendium of three of the most fundamental sacred texts of Judaism: Firstly, Harris translates the collection of ancient Babylonian writings known as the Talmud, which broadly expounds on the Biblical canon. Next, there is the Rabbinic literature and commentaries collectively known as the Midrash, many of which seek to interpret difficult passages of the Bible. Lastly, Harris tackles documents of the esoteric and mystical school of Jewish thought named Kabbalah. Together, the texts which comprise these three broad compendiums constitute (alongside the Torah and Hebrew Bible) the core principles of the Jewish faith. As such they hold immense historical, philosophical and religious insights into the Jewish beliefs, and how the ancient Rabbis sought to interpret the word of God as presented in the Bible. Maurice Harris confidently and ably translates these texts while providing his own explanations and commentary. Making pains to demystify elements of the texts which are particularly profound or deep, Harris manages to respectfully present the core tenets of the Jewish faith. While portions of his translations are difficult owing to the subject matter, this manual is on the whole a comprehensive introduction to Judaism's most ancient beliefs. In addition to the three principle texts, Harris explains the major Jewish fasts, festivals and customs, and introduces a variety of common proverbs and sayings popular among adherents of Judaism. Source references are present throughout the text, making Hebraic Literature a comprehensive and impressive work.

CHAPTER XL TALMUDIC NUMBERS RANGING FROM 'ELEVEN' TO 'NINETY-NINE' INCLUSIVE. 1. Go and learn from the tariff of donkey-drivers, ten miles for one zouz, eleven for two zouzim. Chaggigah, fol. 9, col. 2. 2. When Israel went up to Jerusalem to attend the festivals, they had to stand in the Temple court closely crowded together, yet when prostrated there was a wide space between each of them (Rashi says about four ells), so that they could not hear each other's confession, which might have caused them to blush. They had, however, when prostrated, to extend eleven ells behind the Holy of Holies (JTYlSDn iT3). Yoma, foL 21, coL 1. 3. In the days of Joel, the son of Tethuel, there was a great dearth, because (as is said in Joel i. 4) "That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten," &c. That year the month of Adar (about March) passed away and no rain came. When some rain fell, during the following month, the prophet said unto Israel, "Go ye forth and sow." They replied, "Shall he who has but a measure or two of wheat or barley eat and live or sow it and die?" Still the prophet urged, "Go forth and sow." Then they obeyed the prophet, and in eleven days the seed had grown and ripened; and it is with reference to that generation that it is said (Ps. cxxvi. 5), " They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." Taanith, fol. 5, coL 1. 4. What is a female in her minority? One who is between eleven years and one day, and twelve years and one day.

This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the absurd notions as to what the Talmud was, given credence in the Middle Ages, one was that it was a man! The medieval priest or peasant was perhaps wiser than he knew. Almost, might we say, the Talmud was Man, for it is a record of the doings, the beliefs, the usages, the hopes, the sufferings, the patience, the humor, the mentality, and the morality of the Jewish people for half a millennium. What is the Talmud? There is more than one answer. Ostensibly it is the corpus juris of the Jews from about the first century before the Christian era to about the fourth after it. But we shall see as we proceed that the Talmud was much more than this. The very word "Law" in Hebrew-"Torah"-means more than its translation would imply. The Jew interpreted his whole religion in terms of law. It is his name in fact for the Bible's first five books-the Pentateuch. To explain what the Talmud is we must first explain the theory of its growth more remarkable perhaps than the work itself. What was that theory? The Divine Law was revealed to Moses, not only through the Commands that were found written in the Bible, but also through all the later rules and regulations of post-exilic days.
