Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The most comprehensive to date treatment of these precious artifacts of the Holocaust’s Jewish efforts to maintain religious observations and identity.” —Choice Calendars map time, shaping and delineating our experience of it. While the challenges to tracking Jewish conceptions of time during the Holocaust were substantial, Alan Rosen reveals that many took great risks to mark time within that vast upheaval. Rosen inventories and organizes Jewish calendars according to the wartime settings in which they were produced—from Jewish communities to ghettos and concentration camps. The calendars he considers reorient views of Jewish circumstances during the war and show how Jews were committed to fashioning traditional guides to daily life, even in the most extreme conditions. In a separate chapter, moreover, he elucidates how Holocaust-era diaries sometimes served as surrogate Jewish calendars. All in all, Rosen presents a revised idea of time, continuity, the sacred and the mundane, the ordinary and the extraordinary even when death and destruction were the order of the day. Rosen’s focus on the Jewish calendar—the ultimate symbol of continuity, as weekday follows weekday and Sabbath follows Sabbath—sheds new light on how Jews maintained connections to their way of conceiving time even within the cauldron of the Holocaust. “Rosen demonstrates the relationship between time and meaning, between meaning and holiness, between holy days and the divine presence―all of which came under assault in the Nazis’ effort to kill Jewish souls before destroying Jewish bodies.” —David Patterson, author of Along the Edge of Annihilation: The Collapse and Recovery of Life in the Holocaust Diary

Download or read book The Jewish Book of Days written by Jill Hammer and published by Jewish Publication Society. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the ages, Jews have connected legends to particular days of the Hebrew calendar. Abraham's birth, the death of Rachel, and the creation of light are all tales that are linked to a specific day and season. The Jewish Book of Days invites readers to experience the connection between sacred story and nature's rhythms, through readings designed for each and every day of the year. These daily readings offer an opportunity to live in tune with the wisdom of the past while learning new truths about the times we live in today. Using the tree as its central metaphor, The Jewish Book of Days is divided into eight chapters of approximately forty-five days each. These sections represent the tree's stages of growth--seed, root, shoot, sap, bud, leaf, flower, and fruit--and also echo the natural cadences of each season. Each entry has three components: a biblical quote for the day; a midrash on the biblical quote or a Jewish tradition related to that day; and commentary relating the text to the cycles of the year. The author includes an introduction that analyzes the different months and seasons of the Hebrew calendar and explains the textual sources used throughout. Appendixes provide additional material for leap years, equinoxes, and solstices. A section on seasonal meditations offers a new way to approach the divine every day.

Download or read book This Is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared written by Alan Lew and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “journey of spiritual transformation” (Publishers Weekly) award winning author Rabbi Alan Lew follows the practices and rituals of the Jewish High Holy Days and guides readers through heartbreak, contemplation, and re-birth. There are times in life when we are caught utterly unprepared: a death in the family, the end of a relationship, a health crisis. These are the times when the solid ground we thought we stood on disappears beneath our feet, leaving us reeling and heartbroken, as we stumble back to our faith. The Days of Awe encompass the weeks preceding Rosh Hashanah up to Yom Kippur, a period in which Jews take part in a series of rituals and prayers that reenact the journey of the soul through the world from birth to death. This is a period of contemplation and repentance, comparable to Lent and Ramadan. Yet, for Rabbi Alan Lew, the real purpose of this annual passage is for us to experience brokenheartedness and open our heart to God. In This is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared, Lew has marked out a journey of seven distinct stages, one that draws on these rituals to awaken our soul and wholly transform us. Weaving together Torah readings, Buddhist parables, Jewish fables and stories from his own life, Lew lays bare the meanings of this ancient Jewish passage. He reveals the path from terror to acceptance, confusion to clarity, doubt to belief, and from complacency to awe. In the tradition of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, This Is Real And You Are Completely Unprepared enables believers of all faiths to reconnect to their faith with a passion and intimacy that will resonate throughout the year.

Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, many Americans questioned how to respond to the results and the deep divisions in our country exposed by the campaign. Many people of faith turned to their religious communities for guidance and support. Many looked for ways to take action. In November 2016, biblical scholar Andrea L. Weiss and graphic designer Lisa M. Weinberger teamed up to create an innovative response: a national nonpartisan campaign that used letters and social media to highlight core American values connected to our diverse religious traditions. American Values, Religious Voices: 100 Days, 100 Letters is a collection of letters written by some of America's most accomplished and thoughtful scholars of religion during the first 100 days of the Trump presidency. While the letters are addressed to the president, vice president, and members of the 115th Congress and Trump administration, they speak to a broad audience of Americans looking for wisdom and encouragement at this tumultuous time in our nation's history. This unique volume assembles the 100 letters, plus four new supplemental essays and many of the graphic illustrations that enhanced the campaign. Published near the midway point of the Trump presidency, this book showcases a wide range of ancient sacred texts that pertain to our most pressing contemporary issues. At a time of great division in our country, this post-election project models how people of different backgrounds can listen to and learn from one another. The letters offer insight and inspiration, reminding us of the enduring values that make our nation great.

Download or read book A Bible Based Chronology from the Creation to the Second Advent of Jesus Christ written by Jim Dodge and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scriptures reveal that when we enter the latter days, we’ll find ourselves in an increasingly chaotic world where godlessness and lawlessness rule the day. During this time, God’s word will be neglected and twisted for self-serving agendas; truth will become subjective and relative; and entertainment, idolatry, liturgy, and rituals will replace the Lord Jesus from being the central focus of worship in mainline churches. In this Bible-based chronology, the author examines where we are on God’s timeline, and more importantly, why it’s not too late to benefit from God’s incredible message of creation, redemption, and eternal life. Importantly, for these end-times, the Bible contains an amazingly accurate timeline dating from the Creation to the Second Coming. It’s been intentionally hidden, but specific windows of time highlight the latter days. Celebrate God’s imminent return and learn about the specific generation that will “see all these things” before it passes away so that we, as children of light, should not let the day of the Lord’s return overtake us as a thief in the night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is full of big questions. Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Where do the universe, earth, and humans come from? Do humans have free will? What is the meaning of life and death? Do humans and animals have souls and spirits? Where do good and evil come from? Who is Satan? What was his original offense? Why does the devil tempt humans? Why is there pain and suffering? Can the nefarious attitudes in human spirits change for the better?

The book seeks to unpack the creation of the world and its implications for mankind through the lens of the Bible. Furthermore, it expounds on the cause for human’s fall, God’s redemption plan, Jesus’s fulfillment of Messianic prophecies, future events in the world, and what will happen to us beyond the end of time.

Download or read book Encrypted written by N. Karl Lawley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-12-07 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did God hide an "Encrypted" prophetic last day's timeline in the Psalms to be revealed at the very end? If so, the discovery of this timeline would be the discovery of the ages! Encrypted takes you on a journey through the Bible and the Psalms to explore the answer to this question and many more. According to the "Encrypted" timeline in the Psalms, 2024 will be the year of the infamous Gog Magog Invasion into Israel, detailed in Ezekiel 38 and 39, and the closing of the "Rapture Season," which we are now in. The year 2025 will be the beginning of the 7-year tribulation period and will see the rise and revelation of the Antichrist. The Jews will return to Israel in 2026 en masse in time for the completion of their new Temple in 2027. In 2028, the year of Israel's 80th birthday, the Antichrist will declare that he is God in the new Temple, and the Remnant of Israel will flee to the "Refuge" prepared for them by the true God who will shelter them for three and a half years until Jesus' return at Armageddon. Skeptical? Once you see the "Encrypted" timeline in the Psalms, you will know that time is extremely short, and there remains a multitude around us who are not yet saved and who will be trapped here to suffer through the worst time in history. Now is the time to fulfill the Great Commission! Furthermore, Daniel 12 tells us that the "sealed-up," or "encrypted," mysteries of Bible prophecy will only be understood by the "wise" in the final generation. We are that final generation spoken of by Daniel. Will we be wise enough to realize that God wants His Church to know about and understand the timing of the days we are living in? Or will we continue to rely on the outdated understandings of generations past? As end-time Bible prophecy becomes more tangible in our day, God has revealed this "Encrypted" sequence of years leading up to and through the fast-approaching tribulation period so that we can prepare and help prepare others for a great final harvest before time runs out. We are now living in Bible times. What will be written about you?
