Book excerpt: Whether you are studying the Bible for the first time or you're simply curious about its history and contents, you will find everything you need in this "accessible, well-written handbook to Jewish belief as set forth in the Torah" (The Jerusalem Post). George Robinson, author of the acclaimed Essential Judaism, begins by recounting the various theories of the origins of the Torah and goes on to explain its importance as the core element in Jewish belief and practice. He discusses the basics of Jewish theology and Jewish history as they are derived from the Torah, and he outlines how the Dead Sea Scrolls and other archaeological discoveries have enhanced our understanding of the Bible. He introduces us to the vast literature of biblical commentary, chronicles the evolution of the Torah’s place in the synagogue service, offers an illuminating discussion of women and the Bible, and provides a study guide as a companion for individual or group Bible study. In the book’s centerpiece, Robinson summarizes all fifty-four portions that make up the Torah and gives us a brilliant distillation of two thousand years of biblical commentaries—from the rabbis of the Mishnah and the Talmud to medieval commentators such as Rashi, Maimonides, and ibn Ezra to contemporary scholars such as Nahum Sarna, Nechama Leibowitz, Robert Alter, and Everett Fox. This extraordinary volume—which includes a listing of the Torah reading cycles, a Bible time line, glossaries of terms and biblical commentators, and a bibliography—will stand as the essential sourcebook on the Torah for years to come.

Book excerpt: In the heart of Jewish tradition, the Torah Scroll stands as a beacon of wisdom, a testament to the divine, and the guiding light of a people's identity. "The Torah Scroll: The Story of the Five Books of Moses and the Most Sacred Text in Judaism" embarks on a captivating journey through the history, teachings, and enduring significance of this venerable scripture. For millennia, the Torah has illuminated the lives of the Jewish people. Its stories, from the creation of the world in Genesis to the journey of the Israelites in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, are etched into the collective memory of the Jewish community. But the Torah is more than just a collection of narratives. It is a source of moral and spiritual guidance, a legal code for living a life of righteousness, and a wellspring of ethical principles that continue to resonate across time and culture. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the Torah, delving into its historical origins, its intricate structure, and its influence on Jewish life and thought. It uncovers the customs and rituals that revolve around the Torah Scroll, from the awe-inspiring ceremonies in synagogues to the special readings that punctuate the Jewish calendar. As we journey through the pages of this book, we not only learn about the Torah but also explore the challenges it has faced in a changing world. Modernity, with its embrace of science and secularism, has prompted questions about how the Torah's teachings can harmonize with contemporary knowledge. The profound theological and existential questions raised by the Holocaust have tested the faith of many. The Torah has also been at the center of discussions surrounding gender equality, inclusivity, and LGBTQ+ rights within Jewish communities. But the Torah's journey does not end with these challenges; it adapts, evolves, and inspires. The book takes you through the responses of traditionalist, conservative, modernist, and progressive Jewish communities, each grappling with the questions posed by historical criticism and scholarship. It examines how theological responses seek to reconcile belief with critical inquiry, and how the role of tradition remains central in interpreting the Torah's timeless message. "The Torah Scroll: The Story of the Five Books of Moses and the Most Sacred Text in Judaism" is a captivating narrative that illuminates not only the Torah's content but also its profound impact on the Jewish people. It explores how a sacred text becomes a lifeline to the divine, an inspiration for moral and ethical reflection, and a treasure that continues to shape Jewish tradition. For those seeking to understand the Torah's enduring influence and its journey through history, this book is an essential companion. It is an invitation to explore the stories, wisdom, and traditions that have sustained Jewish communities for generations. From its creation narrative to its ethical teachings, from the challenges of modernity to the rich tapestry of interpretation, the Torah Scroll comes to life in these pages, offering a deeper understanding of its significance and an appreciation of its timeless message.
Download or read book Torah written by Jacob Neusner and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In late antiquity, the inherited doctrine of the Torah as canon of Scripture underwent radical revision. Jacob Neusner here investigates the revised doctrine from the vantage point of that time when "the Torah' lost its capital letter and definite article and ultimately became 'torah.'" During this time, the parochial and literary limits of "Torah" had to be redefined to accommodate the Mishnah and the word ceased to refer specifically to the scroll and its contents. Instead it developed into "a symbol of an entire system," and came to stand for "a distinctive and well-defined world view and way of life"--That of the rabbis. "Torah" thus took on more connotations--both concrete and abstract--and evolved into a symbol for whatever the sages wished to say about the salvation and sanctification of Israel."--Jacket.
Download or read book Religious Changes and Cultural Transformations in the Early Modern Western Sephardic Communities written by Yosef Kaplan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the sixteenth century on, hundreds of Portuguese New Christians began to flow to Venice and Livorno in Italy, and to Amsterdam and Hamburg in northwest Europe. In those cities and later in London, Bordeaux, and Bayonne as well, Iberian conversos established their own Jewish communities, openly adhering to Judaism. Despite the features these communities shared with other confessional groups in exile, what set them apart was very significant. In contrast to other European confessional communities, whose religious affiliation was uninterrupted, the Western Sephardic Jews came to Judaism after a separation of generations from the religion of their ancestors. In this edited volume, several experts in the field detail the religious and cultural changes that occurred in the Early Modern Western Sephardic communities. "Highly recommended for all academic and Jewish libraries." - David B Levy, Touro College, NYC, in: Association of Jewish Libraries News and Reviews 1.2 (2019)
