"A unique combination of love and criticism, depth and respect. This book is an invitation to experience Hartman's ongoing philosophical dialogue with his great teacher, and is an important contribution to understanding the thought of both these major figures."—Prof. Avi Sagi, director, Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Hereneutics and Cultural Studies, Bar Ilan University"Compellingly demonstrates how R. Soloveitchik joined intellectual brilliance in Jewish learning with a deep empathy for modern existentialist philosophy. Undoubtedly, this work will become the standard for future scholarship on the majestic thought of R. Soloveitchick."—Prof. Yehuda (Jerome) Gellman, Department of Philosophy, Ben-Gurion University of Negev

The Theological Legacy of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik

Love and Terror in the God Encounter

The continuing effect of the Holocaust has been the subject of much study. This volume gives voice to a broad range of children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors who describe the ways this legacy continues to impact their worldview and their work in the world. These are heart-felt and moving testimonies.The editor imposes order but not an orthodoxy to these responses. The four themes under which these responses are collected are guideposts that help the reader understand the variety of responses. If there is one common theme, it is that these are individuals who have used their legacy to move positively into the world.This is not the first such anthology, nor will it be the last. It is a reminder that the horrors of 70-plus years ago continue to reverberate in our world. It should also be a reminder that the other atrocities that have shaken the world in the last century continue to shape the lives of millions, and would that we had a way to hear their testimony as well.These reflections are enlightening and engaging. I would recommend them more as the stuff for occasional contemplation than for a straight read through the book. -- Rabbi Louis A. Rieser

God, Faith & Identity from the Ashes

&ldquo;Popa&rsquo;s imaginative journey resembles a Universe passing through a   Universe. It has been one of the most exciting things in modern poetry,   to watch this journey being made.&rdquo; &mdash;Ted Hughes &ldquo;The symbolist poetry of Mr. Popa, a modernist, was widely  hailed as the finest in the Serbian language and an artful mix of folk  poetry and surrealism. His language was succinct, often aphoristic and  elliptical, and it focused on the specific over the abstract.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times"No other Serbian poet sounds like Popa. He was both the product of his time and place and the inventor of his own world." &mdash;London Review of Books"A poet of genuine vision." &mdash;Kirkus

Dr. Sherwin and the late Rabbi Seymour Cohen have created an excellent handbook of Jewish ethical values and literature. Their introduction tells us that life is an art form—an invitation to Jewish ethical living. "It is the human task to complete God's unfinished artistic masterpiece—the human person."The classic texts of Jewish ethical literature—works little-known to most of us—are now readily available for personal study. This one-of-a-kind book brings the genre of Jewish ethical literature from its origins in the ancient and medieval worlds, straight into our 21st-century lives.An invitation into a history rich with wisdom and guidance, Creating an Ethical Jewish Life offers traditional texts, clear explanations, and ways for us to use them in our lives. Rabbis Sherwin and Cohen highlight a wide variety of classic texts, including the Zohar, The Holy Letter, The Path of the Upright by Moshe Hayyim Luzzatto, Duties of the Heart by Bahya ibn Pakudah, and Nachmanides’ Commentary on the Torah. These timeless texts are combined with the authors’ insightful commentary to address the ultimate human moral issue, the most intimate personal question: How can I best live the life God has entrusted into my care? With expertise and passion, Sherwin and Cohen show us how these unusual texts not only inform—but can transform our lives.This excellent anthology explores how to: Deal with ego • Be wise • Be healthy • Employ wealth • Die • Behave sexually • Believe in God • Thank God • Love God • Study the Torah • Repent • Treat one’s parents • Parent • Speak about another • Be Philanthropic, and much more.Dr. Byron L. Sherwin, a leading scholar in Jewish theology, has served for over thirty years as professor of Jewish philosophy and mysticism at Chicago’s Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, where he is also Vice President for Academic Affairs. Rabbi Sherwin is the author of twenty-five books and over 150 articles and monographs; his works include Why Be Good?; In Partnership with God: Contemporary Jewish Law and Ethics; and Jewish Ethics for the 21st Century. Active in international Jewish communal affairs and interfaith relations, in 1992 Rabbi Sherwin was the first recipient of the “Man of Reconciliation” award from the Polish Council of Christians and Jews.The late Dr. Seymour J. Cohen has opened up to English readers the previously little-known genre of medieval Jewish ethical literature through his masterful translations of three of its classics: The Ways of the Righteous, The Book of the Righteous, and The Holy Letter. Rabbi Cohen served as president of the Rabbinical Assembly and the Synagogue Council of America.Their anthology is an excellent adult education textbook, or a book to read by an individual. Highly recommended.

Rabbi Schwartz is the founder and president of PANIM: The Institute for Jewish Leadership and Renewal, an educational foundation dedicated to the renewal of American Jewish Life. Here, he profiles four innovative synagogues, one from each of the movements in the American Jewish community, and shows how a revitalized approach to congregational life can transform the Jewish experience of individual Jews, whatever their affiliation. Each chapter is accompanied by a personal narrative tracing the experience of one member of each congregation. The book concludes with 10 strategies for transforming your congregation. This should be required reading for the boards of all our synagogues, not only for those people who have despaired of transforming their synagogues into spiritual homes.

This story demonstates how one person's life is worth more than anyone can imagine. Readers are gifted with a clear scope and sequence of the life of Dorothy Day—a person that made a world of difference. She grew up when times were tough and did not always have a lot to eat. As an adult, she felt that helping other people should be a focus for all. Besides feeding others and starting a newspaper called The Catholic Worker she took on challenges to fight for women's rights. This well-written and easy to follow text presents readers with the opportunityto delve into Day's world and understand how important her life work really was. Text is broken into several informative sections, which progress in a chronological manner. Black and white photos accompany text and effectively createan overall feeling of hard times—during which Day made a difference. Three special sections in the book tells young readers how they can publish their own newspaper, help curb world hunger and create artwork to represent a loving heart. These activities allow the reader to experience some of the same things that Dorothy Day did, thereby bringing her life to their level. A two page, easy-to-read timeline and a glossaryround out the book. Put this and others from the "Spiritual Biographies for Young Readers" series, in school, church or home libraries to allow children to read about significant role models.
