This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Set of Holiday Sermons Granted all this, namely, that the burden of our message be true respecting the generality of men, I take it that here as everywhere are gathered hosts of the heart-sick and soul-weary, who take leave of the speeding year with nothing of regret, who look forward to the incoming twelve month without aught of hopefulness. Saddened by sorrow, embittered by disappointment, grieved by misfortune, these tell us that our march from year to year is futile and profit less. With much show of wisdom and more of pathetic help lessness, these prophets of evil point out to us the vanity of time's flight, that all men are but as wanderers along the desert-sands, leaving behind them, at best, foot-prints which the faintest wind will dislodge or the earliest storm blotout from sight forever. And, at last, as if to adduce an unanswerable argument, these, the believers in the final triumph of void and darkness, think to prove the aimless destiny of man by comparing his course in life to the ship which sails across the seas and leaves no trace or memory of its passage. But is this similtnde just and can we carry this analogy to its logical end? Is it indeed true that the bark of a human life sails tracklessly across the ocean of time? Let us see! Lately, I was hastening homeward from across the sea. In a certain sense it-was true enough that the vast ship which bore us ploughed its mighty way through the watery waste, leaving no mark or record of its passing. In very truth it might be said that ours was a pathless, trackless flight; for how soon are the seething, foaming billows in the wake of a boat swallowed up in the stillness of the emerald deep! Trackless was our voyage, but not aimless. Trackless it may be, viewing merely the manner of our going from place to place. Was that voyage aimless or even pathless, however. Which brought us safely to our appointed goal, distant by thousands of miles from our starting-point? Was that journey aimless which from far, far away winged us unto the embrace of loved ones, eagerly awaiting our return after weeks or months or years of separation? Was that sailing aimless which carried num bers of young people from the. Stifling breath of their native lands to the invigorating atmosphere of our free country, which transplanted hundreds of gifted, ambitious youths from places where energy and aspiration were fore doomed to failure, to our own country, which rewards talent, honors enterprise and crowns industry? Look to the sea and you will find no sign or reminder that this noble bark was ever piloted from shore to shore. The record must be sought and will be found in the hearts of the re united, in the boundless hopes of those to whom America spells opportunity for the gaining of great riches, or honor able fame, or high place.

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 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Finding God in Unexpected Places written by Rabbi Jack Riemer and published by Read the Spirit Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Rabbi Riemer offers us the kind of wisdom that we need in order to survive and thrive,” writes Dr. Bernie Siegel, best-selling author of a dozen books about spirituality and healing. The late Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel adds, “Jack Riemer’s words are songs of hope and faith. Listen to them as I do.” Widely sought after as a master storyteller and teacher, Riemer is one of the most frequently quoted rabbis in the U.S. That’s because of the winding paths he takes in describing the relevance of timeless Jewish wisdom in our modern world. What do a professional baseball player, Elizabeth Taylor’s jewelry box, a hurricane, a garbage dump and a blue blazer hanging in your closet have to do with each other? They’re all turning points in Riemer’s stories that lead us toward universal questions we all confront at some point in life, including: Is there a dream that gives meaning to your life? What are our duties to the people we love? How do you make a decision when you’re caught between two conflicting values? And, what would you do if you found out that your time on this earth was almost up? Reflecting on Riemer’s wisdom about life, retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor writes that the rabbi “is obviously a person with much understanding of the human situation.” Word of warning: The stories in this book may surprise you and perhaps make you chuckle, but they could change your life, as well.
Download or read book The Path of Blessing written by Rabbi Marcia Prager and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrich your spiritual practice with a deeper understanding of Hebrew blessing. A Hebrew blessing is a powerful thing—a short, deeply meditative exercise exploring the nature of God and the dynamic relationship between God, human consciousness and the unfolding universe. Written in clear, illuminating prose, this book will guide you through the opening words of a Hebrew blessing—six words which embody the depth of Jewish spirituality—revealing how the letters and words combine to promote joy and appreciation, wonder and thankfulness, amazement and praise. Each word becomes an invitation to discover the Presence of God flowing through even the smallest actions of our lives. Examine the deeper meaning behind: Barukh Ata Adonay Eloheynu Melekh Ha’Olam In the ancient language of the Jewish mystical tradition and the modern language of hasidism, creation theology and psychology, The Path of Blessing brings the words of the Hebrew invocation dramatically alive.
Download or read book A Time to Every Purpose written by Jonathan D Sarna and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the twenty-first century, the central question confronting Jewish leaders in America is simple: Why be Jewish? Jonathan D. Sarna, acclaimed scholar of American Judaism, believes that “Why be Jewish?” is the wrong question. Judaism, he believes, is not so much a “why” as a way—a way of life, a way of marking time, a way of relating to the environment, to human beings, to family, and to God. Judaism is experienced through doing—doing things Jewish, doing things for fellow Jews in need, doing things as a Jew to improve the state of the world. The more Judaism one does, the more one comes to appreciate what Judaism is. Using the Jewish calendar as his starting point, Sarna reflects on the major themes of Jewish life as expressed in a full year of holidays—from Passover in the spring to Purim eleven months later. Passover, for instance, yields a discussion of freedom; Shavuot, a discussion of Torah; Yom Kippur, the role of the individual within the Jewish community; Chanukah, issues of assimilation and anti-assimilation. An essential brief introduction—or reintroduction—to the major practices of Jewish life as well as the many complexities of the American Jewish experience, this book will be essential reading for American Jews and the perfect gift for the holiday season.

Download or read book Sacred Fire written by Kalonymus Kalmish Shapira and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2002-08-22 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Fire: Torah from the Years of Fury (1939-1942) consists of commentaries on each weekly Torah portion. It also includes a number of lengthy sermons delivered on the major Jewish Festivals as well as a few discourses alluding to people loved and lost. Because writing is not permitted on the Sabbath, these "words of Torah" were transcribed from memory, after the Sabbath or festival had ended. Although the pages of Sacred Fire are not stained with the names of its author's tormentors, there are numerous references to historical events through which parallels can be drawn. Rabbi Shapira often refers, for example, to the binding of Isaac and the martyrdom of Rabbi Akiba. Sacred Fire forms a religious, spiritual response to the Holocaust that speaks from the heart of the darkness. In doing so, it may well form the basis for what could one day become Judaism's formal liturgical response to the events that occurred during those years of fury.
