Download or read book The Gates of Repentance written by Rabbeinu Yonah and published by Jason Aronson, Incorporated. This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gates of Repentance (Sha'arei Teshuvah), by Rabbeinu Yonah of Geronah (d. 1263), is one of the most important books of Jewish literature. Now available in a modern English translation, this volume probes the profound idea of teshuvah, often translated as "repentance" but in reality far more complex and subtle than the simple meaning of "regret for sin" or "contrition." Rabbi Feldman furnishes the reader with an eminently readable translation and provides notes directly on-site when difficulties arise in the text. He gives a general introduction as well as short introductions to each gate, followed by a synopsis of each gate for review and overview. Unique to this work are the scholarly notes Rabbi Feldman provides, which enable the reader to follow themes throughout the work, get a better understanding of other sages' insights, and develop to a higher level the ideas discussed in The Gates of Repentance.

Download or read book Tel Aviv Ramallah written by Yossi Yonah and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoav and Tali, a young Israeli couple, are at a crossroads. While conflicting offers for PhD studies in the US put their relationship to the test, Yoav is called in for army reserve service at a checkpoint near Ramallah - just as an old flame comes back into his life. Meanwhile, in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, longtime differences in professional success have driven a wedge between married couple Hadil and Hisham - she a Christian, he a Muslim. When Hisham's brother is kidnapped by Palestinian security forces, however, the relationship takes a surprising turn. As the couples navigate their seemingly disparate lives, their worlds draw inexorably towards a life-changing collision. Former member of Israeli parliament Prof. Yossi Yonah has written a hope-filled tragedy that deals with normal people's daily lives in a place where nothing is normal. Yonah's command of both Hebrew and Arabic language allows for a subtle and profound peek at the fascinating characters who currently call Israel and Palestine home. Endorsements ★★★★★ Tel Aviv Ramallah is a surprising novel, considering the time and place in which it was written. The author of Tel Aviv Ramallah dares to go against the current, to paint a different reality with his pen. This is not a utopian novel; it merely directs its attention to ordinary protagonists - an Israeli couple and a Palestinian couple - who engage in the pursuit of their banal yet personally-cherished goals: fulfilled personal relationships and rewarding family life. Although Jewish Israeli, the author has impressive command of Arabic, and displays remarkable familiarity with the subtleties of Palestinian culture and norms. Thus, the novel is indeed an inspiring achievement in literary border-crossing. Tel Aviv Ramallah is an endearing demonstration of the intractable human drive to lead a meaningful and rewarding life despite the heavy clouds filling the sky. Sami Michael, author, Victoria 1993; A Trumpet in the Wadi 1987 ★★★ TEL AVIV RAMALLAH is a novel narrated from four different complementary perspectives, and grounded in two different social and cultural backdrops - Israel and Palestine. With a steady hand and virtuosic grasp of history, culture, and language (both Hebrew and Arabic), Yossi Yonah unfolds four lifespans in Ramallah and Tel Aviv. The trajectories of the two couples intermesh unexpectedly, attesting to the power of political reality to invade and divert the courses of people's lives. This is a powerful story of the physical and mental barriers that separate Israel and Palestine, the heavy toll that these barriers exact, and the hope - which this forceful novel defiantly suggests - to cross them. - Judith Katzir, author. Her latest novel, Dearest Anne (2008) is available from The Feminist Press ★★★ A charming, profound, and intriguing novel. I'm already eager to read more of Yonah's novels. The craftily-narrated life stories of Yonah's protagonists, Israeli and Palestinian alike, offer hope, encouraging one to believe that this life force can eventually be used towards a peaceful solution to the conflict. - Yossi Beilin, Israeli politician and scholar, co-chair of the Geneva Initiative ★★★ Though heart-wrenching, I love this book! The novel is written with an abiding appreciation for the human drama - the drama of life and death, love, family, friendship, jealousy, betrayal, and suffering. Yonah writes with great competence and sensitivity, rendering this powerful novel unlike any other. - Zehava Gal-On, former chairman of Israel's Meretz party

Download or read book The Islamic State written by Yonah Alexander and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The so-called "Islamic State" (IS) that has swept into power in parts of Syria and Iraq presents an imminent danger to the global community with its capacity as an effective, ideologically motivated, and bloodthirsty fighting force, coupled with its expanding territorial reach, on the ground and online. The IS has taken on a quasi-state form that mixes modernity with ancient rites, and aggressively promotes sectarian violence and religious extremism with a decidedly apocalyptic bent. Too, it has introduced to the Middle East a new level of extremism and brutality, marked by volatile fluidity, with far-reaching, dangerously destabilizing effects on state and non-state actors, regionally and globally. This book offers insights into the nature of the IS and what the international community can do to combat it. In order to achieve this objective, the origins, intentions, leadership, capabilities, and operations of the IS are explored. The Islamic State’s multifaceted efforts and effects in the region and beyond are described. Also, national, regional, and global strategies that are being pursued to address the new threat are examined. To this end, a range of recommendations are offered on specific steps that governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental bodies can take to counter the IS menace. Lastly, additional insights are presented relevant to combating the IS and undermining its potential future capabilities.

Download or read book The Music and Mythocracy of Col Bruce Hampton written by Jerry Grillo and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Col. Bruce Hampton was a charismatic musical figure who launched and continued to influence the jam band genre over his fifty-plus years performing. Part bandleader, soul singer, storyteller, conjuror, poet, preacher, comedian, philosopher, and trickster, Col. Bruce actively sought out and dealt in the weird, wild underbelly of the American South. The Music and Mythocracy of Col. Bruce Hampton is neither a true biography in the Boswellian sense nor a work of cultural studies, although it combines elements of both. Even as biographer Jerry Grillo has investigated and pursued the facts, this life history of Col. Bruce reads like a novel—one full of amazing tales of a musical life lived on and off the road. Grillo’s interviews with Hampton and his bandmates, family, friends, and fans paint a fascinating portrait of an artist who fostered some of the best music ever played in America. Grillo aims not so much to document and demystify the self-mythologizing performer as to explain why his fans and friends loved him so dearly. Hampton’s family history, his place in Atlanta and southeastern musical history, his significant friendships and musical relationships, and the controversies over personnel in his Hampton Grease Band over the years are all discussed. What emerges is a portrait of a P. T. Barnum of the musical world, but one who included his audience and invited them through the tent door to share his inside joke, with plenty of joy to go around.

Download or read book A Raid on the Red Sea written by Amos Gilboa and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Raid on the Red Sea is the thrilling, real-life tale of illegal gun-running in the Middle East. In this firsthand account, Amos Gilboa gives the harrowing details of the secret close-working relations between Israeli and American intelligence in the seizure of the Karine A ship, the most successful Israeli intelligence operation since the legendary Entebbe hostage rescue. At 0400 hours, January 3, 2002, two fast boats of Israel's naval commando unit closed in on the stern of the Palestinian Authority's Karine A. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had clandestinely loaded its cargo: fifty-six tons of high-grade, long-range weapons destined for the Gaza Strip. The Israelis' plan to seize it went awry when they found nothing but a confused group of Egyptians, Jordanians, and Palestinians. Had they boarded the wrong ship? Was there going to be an international incident disgracing Israel? This drama has more than its share of plot twists. The story's hero, a low-level female intelligence analyst, was the first to grasp the grave danger posed by the Karine A. Analyzing piles of disinformation, she kept on the scent of the ship, tracking it from Egypt to Sudan to Dubai. Only through the joint efforts of Israeli and U.S. naval intelligence, Mossad and the CIA, was the ship stopped and calamity averted. Seizing the ship led to a fateful reorientation of U.S. policy regarding the Middle East with consequences to this day, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the 2020 assassination of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force chief Qasem Soleimani.
