This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel has once again made a significant contribution to Jewish scholarship entitled “The Unknown English Torah Commentator: Marcus M. Kalisch on Genesis 1-22.” This work promises to be a new trailblazing series introducing readers to the thinking and teachings of Marcus Kalisch (1828-1885). Kalisch integrated the best of Judaic scholarship with the ideas of philosophy, anthropology, comparative literature, linguistics, and classical literature is unique. People of all faith and religious traditions will enjoy reading about Kalisch’s novel interpretations of the Bible’s most beloved tales. Kalisch always sought to make the ethical lessons of the Pentateuch meaningful for the average reader, rabbi, or scholar. The graphical illustrations add an artistic flare to the commentary, captivating the writer’s heart and imagination. ~Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin, Onkelos on the Torah: Understanding the Biblical Text Marcus Kalisch wrote one of the first extensive commentaries on the Torah to have been written in English. Kalisch ranks as one of the most extraordinary exegetes who ever lived. His expansive command of rabbinical, theological, linguistic, classical, and historical sources was nothing less than kaleidoscopic. Despite having composed his outstanding work over 175 years ago, his thoughts and inspirational content can deeply enrich any biblical student, scholar, or teacher. Kalisch possessed a complete mastery of ancient Jewish texts and could cite the writings of Euripides as easily as he could quote the Talmud. Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel has done a stellar job distilling the best of Kalisch’s sophisticated thought. Kalisch’s ideas deserve to be disseminated to our era and beyond. ~Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg, Echoes of the Holocaust: Survivors and Their Children and Grandchildren Speak Out Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel is the son of a Holocaust survivor.

Book excerpt: Pandemics have been an inescapable facet of human existence throughout the annals of history. Yet, not many have navigated the tumultuous tides of these devastating events with a sound mind and measured wisdom. Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel, in his profound contemplation of plagues and pandemics, broadens his perspective to encompass a deep historical analysis that stretches across the epochs. The author's work meticulously dissects and scrutinizes the varied responses that societies have mounted against pandemics. In his comprehensive exploration, he unearths the fallacies and insufficiencies of over-simplified interpretations. His panoramic study, though primarily composed as a Judaic guide for comprehending and weathering the Covid-19 crisis, transcends religious boundaries, offering valuable insights to Christians, and indeed anyone of any faith seeking understanding in these trying times. Immersed in the depths of Scripture, tradition, history, psychology, social science, and pastoral concerns, Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel's scholarly exploration endeavors to make sense of a global catastrophe, a mission far from straightforward. However, his judicious insights present a plethora of perspectives, supplying intellectual stimulation to the curious mind, and solace to those in need of reassurance. By placing the pandemic in both a temporal and eternal context, he dispels myriad misconceptions, offering a comforting voice amidst the storm and practical guidance for those striving to maintain hope. Rabbi Samuel's work, faithful to his distinctive rabbinic style, is brimming with compelling narratives, colorful illustrations, and tangible advice to help navigate the labyrinth of this pandemic. His keen ability to intersect theology, science, psychology, health, and the medical dimensions of real-world adversities is what sets his work apart. He possesses a unique knack for presenting complex ideas in an accessible manner, akin to "putting cookies on a shelf" that all readers can reach and comprehend. His book, 'God and the Pandemic, ' is a carefully curated, seasoned piece of scholarship that embodies a world view that will continue to resonate, providing grounded, rational, and enduring insights long after the pandemic subsides. The sagacity contained within this book is timeless, offering sustenance for the mind and soul. I unreservedly recommend Rabbi Samuel's work to anyone seeking enlightenment in these challenging times. His ability to demystify, comfort, and inspire is, simply put, remarkable.
Download or read book Maimonides Hidden Torah Commentary Volume 1 Genesis written by Michael Leo Samuel and published by . This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epitaph on Maimonides's tombstone reads, "From Moses (the prophet) to Moses, there was none like Moses (Maimonides)." The name, "Moses Maimonides" (1138-1204) is an acronym for his Hebraic name Moses ben Maimon). For centuries, yeshiva scholars and students alike affectionately refer to him by the epithet, "the Rambam." Just as the original Moses became the founder of the religion of ancient Israel, Moses Maimonides redefined Judaism for the future generations-more so than any other Judaic thinker or Halakhic scholar who came before or after him. Modern Judaism owes its conceptual and legal foundations to this remarkable thinker. This remarkable person occupies a rare position in the annals of Jewish history and is widely considered as one of the greatest Jewish thinkers and philosophers who ever lived, Maimonides stature reached almost mythic proportions. Jews of all modern religious persuasions-from the ultra-liberal to the Haredi branches of Orthodoxy each claim Maimonides as their patron hero. Both Christian and Islamic thinkers held Maimonides (who refer to him as Musa ibn Maymun in Arabic writings) in high regard. __ I have been impressed with the writings of Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel ever since I read his first book on Philo. I enjoyed the comprehensive nature of his writings and the many insights in his books. I liked that he described Philo's views in an easy to read manner and compared Philo views with those of many ancient and modern writers. Since that time, I wrote six reviews of his Philo books and praised them all. There is much in them that will interest and teach both scholars and readers who had no idea beforehand about this first century philosopher, or just a little information about him. Reading Rabbi Samuel's books will introduce readers to a large number of Philo ideas, those of other thinkers on the ideas, including the Talmuds and Midrashim, and about philosophy and Judaism generally. Thus, when Rabbi Samuel asked me to write the Foreword to his first book on Maimonides, I was very pleased to accept his offer, both out of respect for his scholarship and because I wrote many books and articles on Maimonides myself. - Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin __ Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel is the son of a Holocaust survivor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Shadow Tree Series" comprises a unique collection of Western Esoteric studies and practices which Jacobus G. Swart, spiritual successor to William G. Gray and co-founder of the Sangreal Sodality, has actuated and taught over a period of forty years. In "The Book of Immediate Magic - Part 1" Jacobus G. Swart perpetuates the fundamental tenets of "Self Creation" in which it is maintained that the "Centre" establishes the "Circumference," and that personal reality is emanated in harmony with personal "Will." Hence this tome comprises an enhancement and expansion of the magical doctrines and techniques of Practical Kabbalah addressed in "The Book of Self Creation," "The Book of Sacred Names," and "The Book of Seals & Amulets." Jacobus Swart claims that working "Immediate Magic" is neither impossible nor difficult when we fully understand that consciousness is just one vast ocean, and that thoughts are the waves we make in it. It is all a matter of coordinating consciousness.
