New The Gods Are Broken!

Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin
The Hidden Legacy of Abraham
An exploration of Judaisms most famous nonbiblical story Can a single story unfold the history of a nation and some of the deepest truths of tradition? Yes, if that story is the rabbis tale of Abraham and its interpreter is Rabbi Salkin. There is much to learn in this absorbing, important book. David J. Wolpe, rabbi of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles and the author of Why Faith Matters Jeffrey Salkin takes us on a magical journey through Jewish history and texts, showing us how a simple, ancient postbiblical tale is essential for our understanding of the totality of the Jewish experience. It is full of insights that will challenge how we as readers view modern society and the idolatries that are inherent in it. Norman J. Cohen, rabbi and professor of Midrash at Hebrew Union CollegeJewish Institute of Religion, New York, and author of Masking and Unmasking Ourselves The story of Abraham smashing his fathers idols might be the most important Jewish story ever told and the key to how Jews dene themselves. In a work at once deeply erudite and wonderfully accessible, Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin conducts readers through the life and legacy of this powerful story and explains how it has shaped Jewish consciousness. Offering a radical view of Jewish existence, The Gods Are Broken! views the story of the young Abraham as the primal trauma of Jewish history, one critical to the development of a certain Jewish comfort with rebelliousness and one that, happening in every generation, has helped Jews develop a unique identity. Salkin shows how the story continues to reverberate through the ages, even in its connection to the phenomenon of anti-Semitism. Salkins workcombining biblical text, archaeology, rabbinic insights, Hasidic texts (some never before translated), philosophy, history, poetry, contemporary Jewish thought, sociology, and popular cultureis nothing less than a journey through two thousand years of Jewish life and intellectual endeavor.
Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin is the author of numerous books, including Righteous Gentiles in the Hebrew Bible: Ancient Role Models for Sacred Relationships and Putting God on the Guest List, winner of the 1993 Benjamin Franklin Award for the best religion book published in the United States.

How the Bible Debunked, Suppressed, or Changed Ancient Myths and Legends
From Gods to God
Avigdor Shinan and Yair Zakovitch Translated by Valerie Zakovitch

A provocative examination and recovery of the ancient myths and legends that the Bible transformed, buried, or changed in order to t a monotheistic worldview In this remarkable volume, Avigdor Shinan and Yair Zakovitch have channeled their prodigious learning into a narrative about the legacy of the Bible that is not only readable but compelling. Anyone who loves the Bible and the interpretive challenges it has bequeathed generations of readers will enjoy the encounter with these two illustrious commentators.Gary A. Anderson, Hesburgh Professor of Catholic Theology, University of Notre Dame Avigdor Shinan is the Yitzhak Becker Professor of Jewish Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of numerous books in Hebrew on rabbinic literature, Jewish liturgy, and the Aramaic translations of the Bible.

A meticulously researched primer on the Hebrew Bibles role as part of an evolving theological and political discourse. . . . Shinan and Zakovitch paint a richly nuanced portrait of the biblical literature as an interlocutor in the debates of its day. . . . An illuminating, challenging look at the original signicance of many of the Bibles stories.Kirkus Thoughtful and sympathetic . . . [Shinan and Zakovitch] introduce the oral and literary traditions of ancient Israel with breathtaking clarity and ease.Christopher McConnell, Booklist The ancient Israelites believed things that the writers of the Bible wanted them to forget: myths and legends from a pre-biblical world that the new monotheist order needed to bury, hide, or reinterpret. Ancient Israel was rich in such literary traditions before the Bible reached the nal form that we have today. These traditions were not lost but continued, passed down through the ages. Many managed to reach us in post-biblical sources: rabbinic literature, Jewish Hellenistic writings, the writings of the Dead Sea sect, the Aramaic, Greek, Latin, and other ancient translations of the Bible, and even outside the ancient Jewish world in Christian and Islamic texts. The Bible itself sometimes alludes to these traditions, often in surprising contexts. Written in clear and accessible language, this volume presents thirty such traditions. It voyages behind the veil of the written Bible to reconstruct what was told and retold among the ancient Israelites, even if it is not what the Bible tells us.

New in Titles Paperback The Life of Glckel of Hameln

A Memoir
Translated and edited by Beth-Zion Abrahams
A fascinating memoir of one of Judaisms earliest female writers, translated from the original Yiddish The Life of Glckel of Hameln is an important historical document, not only regarding Jewish communal life, but also the various world events that she chronicled, including information about Sabbatai Zevi and political conicts and wars that occurred during her life.The Jewish Eye This [translation] is a great introduction to the most famous female Jewish writer of all time.JOFA Journal (Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance) The work in its totality makes clear yet again just how much has been lost to Jewish history and literature by having for so long denied women their chance to speak.Jewish Exponent Glckel of Hameln was a marvel of her time: an accomplished businesswoman as well as the mother of twelve. Devastated by the death of her beloved husband in 1689, she proceeded to write the riveting memoir that would become a timeless classic, revealing much about Jewish life in seventeenth-century Germany. This volume also features an introduction by translator Beth-Zion Abrahams that provides a fuller background of the authors life and tells how Glckel came to write the memoir that would provide insight for centuries to come into Jewish, European, and womens history.
Glckel (16461724) was born to a prominent family in Hamburg, Germany. At the age of fourteen, she was married to a wealthy gems dealer in an arranged marriage and became his business and nancial adviser while bearing and raising their twelve children. She continued to manage his enterprises even after his death in 1689, until her second husband, a successful banker, lost all their money, and her life ended in near poverty. British scholar Beth-Zion Abrahams is the author of The Jews in England, as well as numerous scholarly articles on English Jewry and Jewish authors.

Vedem, the Secret Magazine by the Boys of Terezn
We Are Children Just the Same

Selected and edited by Marie Rt Kr kov, Kurt Jir Kotouc , and Zdene k Ornest Translated from the Czech by R. Elizabeth Novak Edited by Paul R. Wilson With a foreword by Vclav Havel
A National Jewish Book Award Winner
Collected writing and art from the secret magazine Vedem, written by the Jewish boys of Terezn during the Holocaust Terezn survivor George (Jir) Brady recalls: In the tragic struggle for survival, the Nazi-imposed Terezn self-administration tried to help the imprisoned children. They were placed in buildings where living conditions were better than in the many barracks that were inside the fortress. . . . I was one of these children. And by pure luck I found myself among the boys who were led by Valtr Eisinger. In a small room overcrowded with three-tiered bunks, he created a new, fascinating world for us behind the ghetto walls. The boys developed talents they never dreamed they had, and it was there too that the illegal childrens magazine on which this book is based was founded. From 1942 to 1944, a group of thirteen- to fteenyear-old Jewish boys secretly produced a weekly magazine called Vedem (In the Lead) at the model concentration camp, Theresienstadt (Terezn in Czech). The writers, artists, and editors put together the issues and copied them by hand behind the blackout shades of their cellblock, which they affectionately called the Republic of Shkid. Although the material was saved by one of the handful of boys who survived the Holocaust, it was suppressed for fty years in Czechoslovakia until 1995, when these works were published simultaneously in English, Czech, and German. Vedem provides a poignant glimpse into the world of boys torn from their comfortable childhoods and separated from their families, ultimately to perish in the Nazi death machine. This edition includes a new preface and epilogue. Marie Rt Kr kov is a member of the Society of Christians and Jews, founded in Czechoslovakia in March 1991. Kurt Jir Kotouc , a Terezn survivor, founded the Terezn Initiative, an organization to memorialize the events of the ghetto. He died in 2008. Zdene k Ornest (192990), one of the handful of Terezn survivors from cellblock 1, wrote prolically in Vedem, especially poetry.

Ancient Jewish Writings Related to Scripture
Outside the Bible
Edited by Louis H. Feldman, James L. Kugel, and Lawrence H. Schiffman
An anthology of key texts of ancient Jewish literature from the Second Temple period, including commentary that links to the development of both Rabbinic Judaism and Early Christianity Breathtaking in its scope and eminently satisfying in its execution, Outside the Bible will prove to be an indispensable reference for every scholar of the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Judaism, the New Testament, and early Christianity. With introductions to and translations of the mass of non-canonical Jewish writings produced from the Exile up to the Mishnah, by an eminent group of internationally renowned scholars, here we have a resource that will meet scholarly needs for generations to come.Bart D. Ehrman, James A. Gray Professor, Department of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Outside the Bible is a well-conceived and magnicently executed answer to the question of what Jews were reading in the centuries before and after the Common Era. High-quality English translations appear for each document, along with sufficient material to place these documents within their original contexts and to provide insight into their meaning. We are thus able, as it were, to enter into arguments and expositions from antiquity, many of which are virtually unknown within todays Jewish communities and even within academic circles. Such far-reaching scholarship may lead us not only to rethink our past, but also to reconsider our present and future possibilities.Leonard Greenspoon, Klutznick Chair in Jewish Civilization and Professor of Classical and Near Eastern Studies and of Theology, Creighton University

jps Hebrew-English Tanakh
Virtually every rabbi and library will want this volume.Associated Press The jps Hebrew-English Tanakh features the oldest-known complete Hebrew version of the Holy Scriptures, side by side with jpss renowned English translation. Its well-designed format allows for ease of reading and features clear type, an engaging and efficient two-column format that enables readers to move quickly from one language to another, and an organization that contemporary readers will nd familiar. The Hebrew text of this Tanakh is based on the famed Leningrad Codex, the Masoretic text traceable to Aaron ben Moses ben Asher, ca. 930 ce. Ben-Asher researched all available texts to compile an authoritative Bible manuscript. In 1010 ce his work was revised by Samuel ben Jacob, a scribe in Egypt. Lost for centuries, the manuscript was eventually discovered in the mid-nineteenth century and became known as the Leningrad Codex. This edition adapts the latest bhs edition of the Leningrad text by correcting errors and providing modern paragraphing. The English text in this Tanakh is a slightly updated version of the acclaimed 1985 jps translation. Wherever possible, the results of modern study of the languages and culture of the ancient Near East have been brought to bear on the biblical text, which allows for an English style reective of the biblical spirit and language rather than of the era of the translation.

An outstanding literary and exegetical commentary on the book of Jonah.Bibliotheca Sacra As the haftarah for the Mincha service on the Day of Atonement, the Book of Jonah enjoys a central place in Jewish liturgy. Its exquisite literary beauty and strong theological appeal make it one of the most popular and best-known books of the Hebrew Bible.

The rich psychology of the prophet is dealt with as an integral part of his theology. Jonah requires that sound philological explanation be accompanied by a close literary reading. 52 pp. 8 x 10 $40.00 hardcover 978-0-8276-0672-2 $45.95 Canadian/31.00 UK

This is the most complete account to date of the Soviet Jews during World War II and the Holocaust (194145). Reports, records, documents, and research previously unavailable in English enable Yitzhak Arad to trace the Holocaust in the German-occupied territories of the Soviet Union through three separate periods in which German political and military goals in the occupied territories dictated the treatment of the Jews. Arads examination of the differences between the Holocaust in the Soviet Union compared to other European nations reveals how Nazi ideological attacks on the Soviet Union, which included war on Judeo-Bolshevism, led to harsher treatment of Jews in the Soviet Union than in most other occupied territories. 720 pp. 6 x 9 1 map, 7 tables $40.00 paperback 978-0-8032-4519-8 $45.95 Canadian/26.99 UK No sales in Israel or Palestinian Authority
