Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Brothers from Afar: Rabbinic Approaches to Apostasy and Reversion in Medieval Europe, Ephraim Kanarfogel challenges a long-held view that those who had apostatized and later returned to the Jewish community in northern medieval Europe were encouraged to resume their places without the need for special ceremony or act that verified their reversion. Kanarfogel’s evidence suggests that from the late twelfth century onward, leading rabbinic authorities held that returning apostates had to undergo ritual immersion and other rites of contrition. He also argues that the shift in rabbinic positions during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries was fundamentally a response to changing Christian perceptions of Jews and was not simply an internal halakhic or rabbinic development. Brothers from Afar is divided into seven chapters. Kanarfogel begins the book with Rashi (1040–1105), the pre-eminent European rabbinic authority, who favored an approach which sought to smooth the return of penitent apostates. He then goes on to explain that although Jacob Katz, a leading Jewish social historian, maintains that this more lenient approach held sway in Ashkenazic society, a series of manuscript passages indicate that Rashi’s view was challenged in several significant ways by northern French Tosafists in the mid-twelfth century. German Tosafists mandated immersion for a returning apostate as a means of atonement, akin to the procedure required of a new convert. In addition, several prominent tosafists sought to downgrade the status of apostates from Judaisim who did not return, in both marital and economic issues, well beyond the place assigned to them by Rashi and others who supported his approach. Although these mandates were formulated along textual and juridical lines, considerations of how to protect the Jewish communities from the inroads of increased anti-Judaism and the outright hatred expressed for the Jews as unrivaled enemies of Christianity, played a large role. Indeed, medieval Christian sources that describe how Jews dealt with those who relapsed from Christianity to Judaism are based not only on popular practices and culture but also reflect concepts and practices that had the approbation of the rabbinic elite in northern Europe. Brothers from Afar belongs in the library of every scholar of Jewish and medieval studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joseph story starts when he was seventeen years old and ends with his death at one hundred and ten. These years included near death experiences, hatred among brothers, jealousy, a bizarre world of dreams, temptation, imprisonment, and his rise to power as grand vizier of Egypt. All of these events led to a change--once an arrogant young man with grandiose dreams, now he became a down to earth man with a sense of humility and a basic sentiment of religion. There was no more hatred among brothers, but love, which led to their eventual reconciliation. Joseph's life as portrayed in the book of Genesis was the starting point of many legends and commentaries found in the Talmud, Midrashim, and medieval commentaries. His behavior was an exemplary prototype of a righteous man; it served as a model for how a person should conduct himself.

With every step of this journey, we uncover more and more of who we are and what we can be. בדרך, on this path, we discover the great treasures that lie within: our abilities, potential, strengths, and essential holiness. בדרך, with Reb Zusha of Anipoli… The beloved tzaddik Reb Zusha was an embodiment of unassuming righteousness, sincerity, and down-to-earth holiness, who revealed a derech of teshuvah — a systematic path of “return.” Rooted in positivity, Reb Zusha’s real-world advice empowers us to advance personally and spiritually. This road map is not merely instruction in “how to do teshuvah” but heartfelt and valuable guidance for living consciously in the Presence of Hashem in every area of our lives. Replete with powerful stories and illuminating, practical wisdom of the tzaddikim, Baderech is a vital companion for spiritual “travelers” at every stage, yearning to uncover their own path toward teshuvah.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human race needs to do exactly as it is prescribed in the Bible, as I explain in my book. We need to turn swords into plowshares, and we need to turn all nuclear weapons into AI computerized robots that can maneuver into space and attach any asteroids that might pose a threat to earth. These powerful robots can guide dangerous asteroids into safe orbits so they cannot collide with other asteroids or with earth. According to nuclear physicists, our sun will last another five billion years. Consequentially, we need to guarantee that our planet earth can last another five billion years as well. Most likely, man will have developed intergalactic travel in less than one billion years. Then we can prove our love of life and our love of our creator by demonstrating to Him and to all fellow inhabitants of our universe a good and peacefully loving example. Several years ago, a special friend told me, "All the answers to life are in the Bible." Very true--you just have to see the rhetorical answers through God's eyes. My out-of-body experience gave me a sneak preview of what God sees 24/7. It was like viewing a live picture show in St. Vincent's Chapel. I witnessed from above while Dad was pushing my wheelchair up to a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in a chapel full of soft enveloping light. Then instantaneously my spirit went back into my body. Due to the fact that I had eleven days rest and because of temporary amnesia, I had forgotten all my problems. I felt 100 percent wonderful. This day, January 3, 1967, was the best day of my life. However, four and a half years later, I encountered an even better day. On July 2, 1971, I met my wife. That was my first day in paradise.
