[ha-Safran] First volume of Sources and traditions is back in stock! (Magnes press)
Hello! The first volume of Sources and traditions by Halivni is back in stock! (Published by Otsreinu Toronto Canada 1968) Sources and Traditions A source critical commentary on Seder Nashim By David Weiss Halivni http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/David+Weiss+Halivni.aspx?name=David +Weiss+Halivni This volume may very well be the first systematic source critical commentary on the Babylonian Talmud, with the exception perhaps of the relatively small book , Darka shel Torah, by H. M. Pineles, whose agenda was more to defend the content of the Mishnah than to explore Talmudic thinking. Now, after the appearance of the eighth volume, it is even more apparent how comprehensive is the method laid out in the first volume, covering different topics and a variety of texts and how it eventually led to the theory of the Stammaim which, according to some revolutionized our understanding of the composition of the Babylonian Talmud. It is an indispensible introduction to an alternate way of studying Talmud.

[ha-Safran] On the Threshold of the Promised Land (Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by Magnes press: On the Threshold of the Promised Land The account of the preparations for entering Canaan and the formation of the Pentateuch By Itamar Kislev http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Itamar+Kislev.aspx?name=Itamar+Kislev This study examines the Pentateuchal account of Israel’s preparations for entering Canaan, appearing within the concluding section of the Book of Numbers. Literary-critical analysis reveals that each of the passages that comprise this account is the product of several stages of composition, with each literary stratum reflecting the ideological tendencies of the authors responsible for its creation. It emerges that ideological disputes that raged in Judea of the Persian period, when these texts were composed, manifested themselves in historiographical accounts describing a much earlier time – that just prior to the entry into Canaan. The wilderness period, seen as decisive for Israel’s past, and the notion of the Mosaic… read more http://www.magnes-press.com/Book/On+the+Threshold+of+the+Promised+Land.aspx?name=On+the+Threshold+of+the+Promised+Landcode=45-101127docNo=1qid=3 .

[ha-Safran] And before Honor – Humility (Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by Magnes press: And before Honor – Humility The ideal of humility in the moral language of the Sages By Richard S. Lewis http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Richard+S.+Lewis.aspx?name=Richard+S.+Lewis And before Honor – Humility investigates the moral-spiritual ideal of humility in rabbinic literature, a topic which has until now not been the subject of critical inquiry. Four sugyot (topics of discussion) stand at the center of the inquiry: haughtiness of spirit and lowliness of spirit, the humility of the Holy One blessed is He, humility and irascibility, and the ineluctable tension between the honor of Torah and human dignity. Shmuel Lewis presents a theoretical framework and interpretive approach that fit the unique nature of rabbinic literature and uncover a philosophical layer of thought in texts that have been considered until now merely didactic. His readings tack between close textual investigation and broad conceptual analysis in search of the mutual relations between social conceptions and world pictures. By means of comparison with parallel mutual relations in ancient Greek thought the connections between social conceptions, world pictures and moral ideals comes into view in both moral languages – the biblical-rabbinic and the Greek.

[ha-Safran] The Mekhilta de-Rabbi Shimeon Ben Yohai on the Nezikin portion (Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by Magnes press: The Mekhilta de-Rabbi Shimeon Ben Yohai on the Nezikin portion By Liora Elias Bar-Levav http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Liora+Elias+Bar-Levav.aspx?name=Liora+Elias+Bar-Levav Edited by: Menahem Izhak Kahana http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Menahem+Izhak+Kahana.aspx?name=Menahem+Izhak+Kahana The Mekhilta of R. Shimeon Ben Yohai is a Tannaitic Midrash on Exodus, redacted in the early third century in the spirit of the disciples of R. Akiba. This text was lost over the years, but a significant part of it was reconstructed on the basis of pages from the Cairo Geniza and citations by medieval scholars in an edition by J.N. Epstein and E.Z. Melamed. Heretofore this Mekhilta has not received a comprehensive commentary, and its study has been based only on selected passages. This book presents the first systematic study of the Nezikin portion in the Mekhilta. It is based on a re-examination of the manuscripts, suggesting improved readings and completion of lacunae, a thorough study of the terminology and methodology used in the text, close comparison with parallel passages in the Mekhilta of R. Ishmael and throughout Talmudic literature, and detailed analysis of its redaction.

[ha-Safran] The Angel of Jewish History (Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by the Hebrew University Magnes pressin Jerusalem: The Angel of Jewish History http://www.magnes-press.com/Book/The+Angel+of+Jewish+History.aspx?name=The+Angel+of+Jewish+Historycode=45-321085docNo=3qid=2 The Image of the Jewish Past in the Twentieth Century By Ronny Miron http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Ronny+Miron.aspx?name=Ronny+Miron The relationship between the traditional Jewish past and the present is a key question in Jewish intellectual thought from the Wissenschaft des Judentums in the nineteenth century up to the present day. The Angel of Jewish History casts a philosophical gaze upon the relationship between the traditional Jewish past and the present through the metaphysical worldviews of five formative Jewish Studies scholars: Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi, Amos Funkenstein, Gershom Scholem, Baruch Kurzweil, and Nathan Rotenstreich. Their hermeneutic worldviews and writings deal with the nature and formation of modern Judaism, Wissenschaft des Judentums and historicism, the image of the Jewish past and tradition, secularization, and God’s status in present-day Jewish reality. These issues are explored in the book against the background of the tense discourse between the perception of modern Jewish reality as a break from the past and tradition and the argument for continuity despite the changes and developments of modernity.

Cohn described the initial shock felt when the Nazis came into power, and the deep disappointment with the disappearance of the humanistic and democratic values he believed in which collapsed right in front of his eyes, as well as the move of many acquaintances to 'the other side'. This reality created an ongoing conflict with the German patriotism which was part of his personality and became empowered even more during his military service in World War I. The diary includes much documentation of the Jewish community's life: the efforts made and actions taken in dealing with the economic collapse which resulted from Nazi policy; the serious debate between the Orthodox and the Liberals, between Zionists and non-Zionists, regarding the objectives of the community youth's education; the cultural renaissance which took place within German-Jewish society in the first years of the Nazi regime, which Cohn was a part of by lecturing in his town and in many other communities on topics of Jewish history and Zionism. The stronghold which tightened around the Jewish community after the November 1938 pogrom (Kristallnacht), the isolation which was even more hurtful than the life-threatening economic hardship, the relationships between Jews and non-Jews during these times of crisis, the hope that the German people still has positive forces which will overcome evil, and the desperate efforts to leave Germany and immigrate to Israel - all these are expressed in a unique manner in the diary.

[ha-Safran] The Israeli Sovereign (Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a book recently published by the Hebrew University Magnes press in Jerusalem: The Israeli Sovereign The Novel and the Discourse 1967-1973 By Shimrit Peled http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Shimrit+Peled.aspx?name=Shimrit+Pel ed The book The Israeli Sovereign: The Novel and the Discourse 1967 - 1973 explores Israeli sovereignty, nationality and space as represented and constructed in a range of Israeli novels published between 1967 and 1973, in their historical and geographical context and in light of the public discourse between the 1967 and 1973 wars. The research aims to characterize the Israeli sovereign subject and Israeli space represented and constructed in literature, in the context of the public discourse of the period. Some of the questions the study deals with are: What kind of Israeli subject emerges from the novels of the period? What kind of Israeli space is created in these texts? What is the relation between that space and the various points of view that were prominent in Israeli discourse at the time? These issues and others are discussed in light of the historical spatial situation of occupation and massive territorial expansion.

[ha-Safran] Judezmo (Hebrew Univeristy Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a book published by the Hebrew University Magnes press in Jerusalem that has returned to stock!: Judezmo An Introduction to the Language of the Sephardic Jews of the Ottoman Empire (Hebrew) By David M. Bunis http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/David+M.+Bunis.aspx?name=David+M.+B unis Judezmo - the language also known as Ladino, Spanyolit, and Judeo-Spanish - is a Jewish language composed of Romance, Hebrew-Aramaic and Arabic, and Balkan elements, which arose in medieval Spain and evolved after the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, primarily in the Ottoman Empire. The present book is a comprehensive, university-level Hebrew-language introduction to Judezmo, as written in the traditional Rashi alphabet. It includes a structural and sociolinguistic overview of the language and the literature created in it from the Middle Ages through the modern era, a rich anthology of reading selections, linguistic analysis, exercises to reinforce the active acquisition of the language, a detailed chart of the verbal system, and a bilingual dictionary. The reading selections, presented in order of difficulty, were taken from the modern Judezmo literature and press of the past 200 years, and from the rich Judezmo oral literature - including proverbs and sayings, folk songs and ballads, stories, jokes and riddles. The reading selections introduce the reader to the captivating cultural and social world of the Judezmo-speaking Sephardim in the modern era. The linguistic analysis includes a description of the Judezmo sound system, the Hebrew-letter and Roman-letter writing systems used to transcribe it, and a morphological and syntactic analysis of the linguistic structures appearing in the reading selections, designed to provide the reader with a thorough introduction to modern Judezmo in its diverse regional and stylistic forms. The book is meant for individual study as well as group use, and assumes no prior knowledge of any language except Hebrew.

[ha-Safran] The Jewish Community of Cuba (Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a book published by Magnes press : If you would like to review this book please contact me. The Jewish Community of Cuba Memory and History By Margalit Bejaranohttp://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Margalit+Bejarano.aspx?name=Margalit+Bejarano Edited by: Haim Avnihttp://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Haim+Avni.aspx?name=Haim+Avni THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CUBA - HISTORY AND MEMORY is a mosaic of oral histories that reconstruct the history of a small Jewish community created in the tropical island in the margins of the Jewish immigration to the United States. Through personal testimonies the reader is exposed to processes of migration, to struggles against economic difficulties and political upheavals, to the paradoxical role of Cuba as a country that rejected the St. Louis passengers, but granted temporary shelter to thousands of refugees during the Holocaust, to the Zionist conquest of the community and to the traumatic expulsion from the Cuban Paradise following the Castro revolution.

[ha-Safran] Human Choice (Magnes press)
Hello We would like to introduce a book published by Magnes press : If you would like to review this book please contact me. Human Choice Biblical Narrative and the Drama of Choice By Zvi Shimonhttp://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Zvi+Shimon.aspx?name=Zvi+Shimon The book Human Choice: Biblical Narrative and the Drama of Choice suggests, in contrast to the dominant position in the field of theology, that humanity and not God stands at the heart of biblical narrative. Underpinning many biblical narratives is a theology that may be termed a theology of choice, a theology predicated on the belief that human's central task is to choose between good and evil. Theology of choice leads to biblical narratives' focus on the internal conflicts of characters, their struggles and the choices that they must make. The principle that a person's choices determine one's destiny lies at the foundation of biblical narrative and is one of the basic tenets of Israelite belief. In contrast to the belief in a predetermined destiny characteristic of idolatrous culture as evident in many ancient mythologies as well as Greek tragedy, the outlook underlying many biblical narratives is that a person is a free being and is responsible for one's actions and one's ultimate destiny.

[ha-Safran] THE HISTORY OF THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM
Hello We would like to introduce a book published by Magnes press : THE HISTORY OF THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM Who's Who Prior to Statehood: Founders, Designers, Pioneers By Assaf Selzerhttp://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Assaf+Selzer.aspx?name=Assaf+Selzer Translation: Jenni Tsafrirhttp://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Jenni+Tsafrir.aspx?name=Jenni+Tsafrir The four volume series of the History of the Hebrew University Project is devoted to the evolvement of the idea and of its implementation during the pre-state period. The previous three volumes expanded in a great number of scholarly articles on the complex stories which made up this history from a great variety of aspects - scientific and academic, political and organizational, economic and social. The present volume, the last part of the project, seeks to focus on the individuals, the personalities of the people who made the university become a reality; those who struggled for its foundation, and the pioneering scholars and scientists who laid the basis and shaped the Hebrew University. It opens a window for the wider public to become familiar with the story of the Hebrew University without the need to penetrate into the complexity of scientific and other issues dealt with in previous volumes. The story of the university is the story of the enormous efforts involved in bringing prominent scholars and scientists to Eretz Israel, then a remote and marginal corner in the Middle East. These efforts were accompanied with debates of principle and personal controversies within and outside of the university about academic and national considerations. Despite all difficulties, criticisms and doubts, the founders of the university succeeded in building an institution of intellectual excellence that would become a pillar in the project of Jewish national renaissance and prepared the basis for the Hebrew University academic leadership in Israel and in the Jewish world for many years to come.

[ha-Safran] Here Dwells the Jewish People
Hello We would like to introduce a book published by Magnes press: Here Dwells the Jewish People A Century of American Yiddish Literature By Avraham Novershternhttp://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Avraham+Novershtern.aspx?name=Avraham+Novershtern Among the masses of immigrants that turned New York into the largest Jewish city in the world in the early twentieth century , grew a spectacular Yiddish culture - journalism, theater and literature. Dozens of artists designed varied life experiences linking the Old World to their new country. It was a one-time, one of a kind fusion between 'East' - Jewish Eastern Europe - and the 'West' - the vastness of the United States, and especially the dizzying life of a big city. The chapters in Here Dwells the Jewish People: A Century of American Yiddish Literature are connected to each other. They describe a rich and complex array that functioned for three generations and more, and went through major changes: from poetry brimming with emotion and pathos and the melodramatic plays written by the first generation immigrants, literature ascended to the modernist writings of Moshe Leib Halpern, A. Liles, Jacob Glatstein, Anna Margolin and the dazzlingly rich prose of Yitzhak Bashevis.

[ha-Safran] Ideology and Landscape
Hello We would like to introduce a book published by Magnes press: Ideology and Landscape Reinterment of Renowned Jews in the Land of Israel, 1904-1967 By Doron Barhttp://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Doron+Bar.aspx?name=Doron+Bar The book deals with the formative years of Israel's evolving symbolic landscape. The research covers the story of a few dozen Jews who passed away in the Diaspora and later their remains were taken to be buried for the second time (and sometimes for the third) in Israel. These were Zionists and politicians, writers and poets, heroes and public activists whose common denominator was that they all passed away in the Diaspora, far and detached from the national homeland that they fought for before their tragic death. Only later, in an act of repair, their coffins were sent to be buried in the sacred Zionist soil, in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or Dgania. These graves became pilgrimage sites and contributed to the design of Israel's symbolic landscape.

Its previous edition was published about hundred years ago by R. Hayyim Shaul Horovitz. Since then, additional manuscripts have been discovered of Sifre, its first commentators, and medieval collections and midrashim that cite it. This was accompanied by the significant development of the methodological conceptions of the study of the Rabbinic literature, and of the ways to publish critical editions of this literature. All these factors justify the publication of a new scientific edition of this midrash.

Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by the The Hebrew university Magnes press: Kabbalah, Mysticism and Poetry The Journey to the Endof Vision Edited by: Shlomy Mualem<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Shlomy+Mualem.aspx?name=Shlomy+Mualem>, Avi Elqayam<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Avi+Elqayam.aspx?name=Avi+Elqayam> In the volume Kabbalah, Mysticism and Poetry: A Journey to the End of Vision, top researchers from a variety of disciplines generate a thrilling encounter between Jewish, Christian and Islamic texts, drawing on poetic, religious and mystical interpretation tools in an interdisciplinary feast of aesthetics, literature and poetics on the one hand, and mysticism and theology on the other. In this fascinating, complex, and entangled journey to the end of vision we meet some of the leading authors who made a crucial contribution to human world culture, and who were deeply interested in Kabbalah and mysticism, such as the Zohar Kabbalists, Israel Najara, Shmuel Yosef Agnon, Paul Celan, Jorge Luis Borges, Julia Kristeva, Al-Hallaj, Ibn Arabi, Dante, Cervantes, John Donne, and Marcel Proust.

[ha-Safran] The Worship of the Shekhinah in the World of Early Kabbalistic Literature
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by the The Hebrew university Magnes press: Cutting the Shoots The Worship of the Shekhinah in the World of Early Kabbalistic Literature By Tzahi Weiss<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Tzahi+Weiss.aspx?name=Tzahi+Weiss> The feminine divine presence, the Shekhinah, has received detailed description in the Kabbalistic literature from the time of its inception at the end of the 12th century. The present book pursues the tracks of the belief in the Shekhinah and demonstrates that the main motive of the Kabbalists was not to disseminate the belief in Her but rather to restrain and to supervise this belief which had evolved outside the Kabbalists' sphere or in its margins.

[ha-Safran] The Hebrew Language Tradition of the Jews of Southern Yemen: Phonetics and Mishnaic Hebrew
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by the The Hebrew university Magnes press: Language and Tradition XXXIV The Hebrew Language Tradition of the Jews of Southern Yemen: Phonetics and Mishnaic Hebrew By Doron Ya'akov<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Doron+Ya%27akov.aspx?name=Doron+Ya%27akov> Edited by: Aharon Maman<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Aharon+Maman.aspx?name=Aharon+Maman> This book, stemming from a PhD dissertation under the advising of Prof. Moshe Bar Asher, offers a description of the traditional Hebrew of the Jews of southern Yemen. The description is based on a lengthy and intensive field work consisting of recording their reading of biblical, rabbinic, and liturgical literature. As S. Morag's The Hebrew Language Tradition of the Yemenite Jews (Jerusalem, 1963) focuses mainly on central Yemen, especially the city of Sanaa, the study of the southern Yemen phonological tradition remained a desideratum, which the current book aims at fulfilling. Thus, the first part of the book includes addenda et corrigenda to the description of the southern Yemen phonological system. One major innovation in this regard is the different pronunciations of the holam, along with several phonological matters missing in Morag's book, such as the principles of the mobile shewa and the primary and secondary accents (the ga'aya).

[ha-Safran] Hidden Treasures from Europe I
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by the Mekize Nirdamim publishing: Hidden Treasures from Europe I By Simcha Emanuel<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Simcha+Emanuel.aspx?name=Simcha+Emanuel> The discovery of the Cairo Geniza has transformed scholarly research in multiple areas of Jewish Studies and revolutionized several disciplines. It has provided the materials for thousands of studies and is by no means exhausted. Alongside the Cairo Geniza, an additional "Geniza" is slowly emerging in Europe, one that consists of many thousands of individual pages that were torn from Hebrew manuscripts hundreds of years ago and subsequently used for bookbinding and as folders for archive files. Although the first fruits of the European Geniza appeared considerably before the discovery of its Cairo counterpart, this "European Geniza" has not been at the center of scholarly interest, and relatively few scholars have made use of it. However, in recent decades thousands of new fragments have come to light, increasing the quantity previously known to us exponentially.

[ha-Safran] When a Jew Laughs - Yiddish Humor
Hello, We would like to introduce a new book published by The Hebrew university: When a Jew Laughs Yiddish Humor By Yosef Guri<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Yosef+Guri.aspx?name=Yosef+Guri> You now have before you this volume which contains an assemblage of popular Yiddish humor: jokes both folksy and racy, proverbs and colloquial curses which originated in the hundreds of towns and cities of Eastern Europe up to the Second World War. In recent decades interest in Yiddish has been growing in Israel and in many other countries. It expresses itself as a longing, a nostalgia, for the language that was spoken in people's parents' home, and that they heard from their grandparents. This volume reveals some of the treasures of Yiddish humor to the many lovers of Yiddish around the world. This sampler does not specify the origin of the jokes it contains, because "An anecdote and a cat have no master, they belong to whoever manages to catch them." (N. Stutchkoff, p. 571, see Bibliography.) In order to select the approximately 400 jokes and sayings appearing in this book, the collector spent many months searching through anthologies, joke books, lexicons etc. The most important sources are listed in the Bibliography. In their world of poverty, pogroms, persecutions and evil decrees, the Jewish masses of Eastern Europe were in dire need of spiritual support and psychological defence. They found this support in humor, which relieves tension and makes life more bearable. This book is organized by theme into 51 sections, each section exhibiting a particular aspect or feature of Jewish life in the cities, towns and townlets of Eastern Europe.

[ha-Safran] Past Issues and their Current Revivals
Hello We would like to introduce a new book sold by the Hebrew university Magnes press: Past Issues and their Current Revivals By David Rokeah<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/David+Rokeah.aspx?name=David+Rokeah> Almost all of the articles in this collection were published between 1971 and 2010, but they have been updated to 2015, following the re-emergence of old controversies. The parties to the controversies include secular Jews, modern Orthodox-nationalist Jews, Orthodox Jews, and extreme-Orthodox (Haredi) Jews. In the Introduction, some controversies among the Pharisees, the forerunners of the Sages, and the adducees are discussed. The Sadducees held ancient, mostly literal, interpretations of the Hebrew Bible and of the oral traditions, whereas the Pharisees offered new interpretations in order to meet the needs of their day. The religious problems were raised in Israel after 1967, when large numbers of Russian immigrants entered the country, since many of them were not Halachically Jewish. The Chief Rabbinate could not cope with their numbers because of the lengthy conversion procedure. The solution offered here is to permit civil marriage, that will also facilitate swifter conversion procedures. In the articles, "Sharing the Burden,'' and "The Torah is his Art," the demand of the Haredi community that yeshiva (religious academy) students should be exempt from army service and from working in order to support their families is refuted. The article proves that this demand absolutely negates the position of the Sages. In "Sharing the Burden," and in "Ze'ev Jabotinsky and Socialism,"the preferable economic and political regime in Israel is discussed. The alternatives were: a free and competitive Capitalistic market system, or a Socialistic / Communistic one. The author expresses support for the free, open market. The article, "The Sabbatical Year" (Shemittah), during which the fields must be left fallow, points out that this agricultural regulation was designed to prevent the impoverishment of the soil. For the same reason, it was also practiced by the Romans. Today, however, other means of preventing this exist, and therefore it is no longer necessary. The formal permission to sell crops of the seventh year issued by Chief Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook improved the condition of the farmers during that year, but the position of Rabbi Yehudah Ha-Nasi (the Patriarch) should be adopted instead; the interdiction of the working of the soil in the seventh year should be cancelled absolutely. The article, "Women are Light-Minded,." analyzes the condition and position of women in Israel, and compares them with the attitude towards women in ancient Greece and Rome. The article on "The Deserted Wife (Agunah; Who Cannot Remarry)" discusses divorce and the condition of a wife deserted by her husband in the ancient and modern worlds. It seems, unfortunately, that the interpretation of the Sages still prevails today.

Only eight Yiddish books were printed with illustrations during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The importance of these books lies in the wide distribution that some of them - Yosipon, Minhagim, Tsene U`rene - enjoyed, appearing in many editions over hundreds of years. he printing of illustrated Yiddish books depended on direct contact with non-jewish print-shops. The examination of the illustrations in views of their traditions and origins suggests three possible modes: 1. The borrowing of illustrations from the stock of non-jewish printers, thus drawing on an earlier, non-Jewish tradition of illustrating, as, for instance, in Yosipon, Zurich 1546; Paris un Viena, Verona 1594; Tam Ve-Yashar, Frankfurt am Main 1674; Tsene U`rene, Sulzbach 1692. In Yosipon, Tam Ve-Yashar and Tsene U`rene woodblocks were used that had previously been employed in the illustrating of Christian Bibles. Woodcuts after the series of Old Testament illustrations by Hans Holbein the Younger stand out among these borrowed pictures. 2. The adoption of the tradition, common to Hebrew and European literature, of illustrating books of fables; see, e.g., KuhBukh, Verona 1595; Mashal Ha-Kadmoni, Frankfurt an der Oder 1693. 3. Original illustrations appearing in Minhagim books published in Venice in 1593 and 1600/1.

[ha-Safran] The commentary on the Jewish Roots of Acts
Hello We would like to introduce a book sold by the Hebrew university Magnes press: The commentary on the Jewish Roots of Acts Acts 1-28 By Hilary Le Cornu<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Hilary+Le+Cornu.aspx?name=Hilary+Le+Cornu>, Joseph Shulam<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Joseph+Shulam.aspx?name=Joseph+Shulam> Academon press The Acts of the Apostles is the second part of Luke's masterpiece history of the life of Yeshua and the first generation of the Church and its leaders such as Paul and Peter. Besides being a book of history, however, it is also a Spirit-inspired work that contains many important lessons for the Church of today, especially for those believers seeking the Restoration of the Church with its Jewish Roots. This commentary will help the scholar or layperson seeking to navigate the colorful cultures and contexts of the ancient Mediterranean world to which the apostles spread the message of Yeshua and understand the "how" and the "why" of their methods of spreading an essentially Jewish faith to a pagan world. Shulam and LeCornu especially highlight the importance of the Diaspora Jewish context and its influence on the early Body of Messiah through comparing the beliefs and statements found in Acts to other ancient Jewish sources and ideas.

[ha-Safran] The Halakhah as an Event
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by the Hebrew university Magnes press: The Halakhah as an Event Edited by: Avinoam Rosenak<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Avinoam+Rosenak.aspx?name=Avinoam+Rosenak> The Halakha is not just a body of literature; it is also a cultural event. It follows then that the philosophy of Halakha must address the happening of the Halakha. Surprisingly, till now philosophers of Halakha have not addressed this dimension of the event or the happening of the Halakha. The articles in this book are an attempt at facing this challenge. But this is not simple because herein lies a paradox. If the event or the happening is something that lies outside the confines of what is captured in the written word, the effort to write about it is one that must take us on a fascinating journey between what is possible and what perhaps is not. What is the nature of the Halakha as an event? What is the knowledge contained in this dimension of the Halakha that defies conceptualization in the written word? How does the insight that the Halakha is principally an event dramatically affect the philosophy of the Halakha? As we have said, philosophers of the Halakha have not addressed this question before and the authors in this collection - scholars and researchers from a wide range of fields - are all facing it for the first time bringing to it a wide range of tools from fields as varied as philosophy, Jewish thought, performance, cinema, group dynamics, cognition, gender studies and more. Together they offer us a new discourse and framework for conceptualizing the philosophy of the Halakha.

[ha-Safran] Rites of Synagogue Liturgy
Hello We would like to introduce a new book published by the World Union of Jewish Studies: Rites of Synagogue Liturgy By Leopold Zunz<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Leopold+Zunz.aspx?name=Leopold+Zunz> Prayer customs and the treasures of liturgical poetry brought to Israel from the Diaspora have been the subject of diverse studies in the past few years, encompassing every community and its customs, every community and its poetry. This classic study, a translation of Leopold Zunz's Ritus des synagogalen Gottesdienstes, reviews the history of prayer customs of diverse communities from ancient times to the nineteenth century. The author examines the uniqueness of each community, both through the wording of the permanent prayers and through the treasures of liturgical poetry recited in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era. Relations and influential factors between ethnic groups are discussed in detail. The introductory chapters present the history of Jewish prayer since the Geonic period, including the formation of the first prayer books; the creation of communal manuscripts; the impact of print; and the creation of fixed forms of public prayer. The study takes account of: books of Jewish law dealing with prayer; books of customs; exegeses on prayer and liturgical poetry; translations of Hebrew prayer into other languages; additions to and deletions from liturgical texts; the status and role of the prayer leader; the influence of mysticism and kabbalah; the influences of censorship and the Enlightenment. Other chapters are dedicated to the prayers of Yom Kippur, the status of Slichot prayers, debates on integrating liturgical poetry into public prayers, and a description of the Karaite prayer book. For many years, Zunz's study, originally published in 1859, served as a fundamental textbook for research on the history of prayer. This contemporary Hebrew translation includes research updates, many clarifications, and detailed indexes; among them an index of prayers, an index of prayer customs, an index of liturgical poetry, and an index of early manuscripts and printings of the prayer books mentioned in the study. In addition, the Hebrew edition includes notes and additions found on the author's personal copy, never to have been published before.

[ha-Safran] Purity and Community in Antiquity
Hello, We would like to introduce a new book published by The Hebrew university Magnes press: Purity and Community in Antiquity Traditions of the Law from Second Temple Judaism to the Mishnah By Yair Furstenberg<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Yair+Furstenberg.aspx?name=Yair+Furstenberg> How did purity evolve into the one most significant religious category during the Second Temple period? What was the role of purity discourse in the reformation of Jewish society and religion in Late Antiquity? The concern for purity shaped Second Temple Judaism, and its significance expanded far beyond the limited realm of the Temple. The fear of impurity shaped daily conduct, stood at the heart of ideological discourse and set the contours of Jewish society. The question how to ensure ritual and moral purity was of cosmic dimensions, and therefore determined the dividing lines between the main parties of Jewish society in Palestine. The Qumran sect developed the notion of the defiling sin, and Jesus was viewed by his followers as the ultimate purifier. Against these alternatives, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the purity policy in the teachings of the dominant Pharisees. Early rabbinic traditions alongside anti-pharisaic sources uncover a controversial policy focused on the body and not on the purity of the Temple. They provided purification to wider social circles, while preserving its role in maintaining their own status. The book further demonstrates the fundamental change of religious life and social practices from the Second Temple period through the rise of the rabbinic movement, which offered a new version of ritual purity and community. A close analysis of the halakhic traditions in rabbinic literature reveals the gradual disintegration of the ancient religious culture and the emergence of the rabbinic culture within new social contexts. Dr. Yair Furstenberg is a senior lecturer at the Department of Jewish History at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and a Fellow in the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem.

[ha-Safran] A Study of the Editing of the Former Prophets
Hello, We would like to introduce a new title published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press: From Settlement to Exile A Study of the Editing of the Former Prophets By Noach Hayut<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Noach+Hayut.aspx?name=Noach+Hayut> When were the books of the "Former Prophets" written? Who wrote them? Who are the editors that made these books the most important source; describing the continuous history of the Jewish People in their land, from the time of the conquest of the Land of Canaan through the destruction of the Holy Temple and the Babylonian exile? These questions are at the center of this book. The name of the book, "From Settlement to Exile" reflects the sequence of events described in the books of the Former Prophets. The book discusses whether a failure could have been predicted from the events described, or whether there were also successful and tranquil periods prior to the destruction that brought hope to the hearts of the people and realistic expectations of establishing a lasting kingdom. Although the impression is that the Former Prophets describe a continuous history that leads inevitably to destruction, research proves that the Former Prophets were written by a number of authors during successful periods as well as difficult ones. The text actually includes several chapters or individual verses that were added after the destruction in order to find an explanation for the disastrous destruction event.

[ha-Safran] Legal Thinking in the Lithuanian Yeshivoth
Hello, We would like to introduce a new title published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press: Legal Thinking in the Lithuanian Yeshivoth The Heritage and Works of Rabbi Shimon Shkop By Shai Wozner<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Shai+Wozner.aspx?name=Shai+Wozner> An intellectual revolution took place in the Lithuanian Yeshivoth in the last quarter of the nineteenth century: a new study method took yeshiva students by storm. The new method focused on the study of the legal field in Talmud, it raised new questions which have not been asked before and developed a sophisticated analytical legal thinking, which dealt with the analysis and definition of norms and legal-halachic concepts in Talmudic literature. All this turned the Yeshivoth into Talmudic law colleges. The book lists characteristics of the new study method through the teachings of Rabbi Shimon Shkop (1859-1939), one of the most original and influential rabbis in the Lithuanian Yeshiva world. For over fifty years Shkop taught the new study method he developed and the legal Fundamentals that explain the way Talmudic law worked, to a great many students in the Yeshivoth of Telšiai ,Malech, Brańsk and Grodno. The book examines key characteristics in the legal thought and theory of Rabbi Shimon Shkop and traces the similarities and differences between the legal thought of Yeshivoth as opposed to the West. It integrates issues of law, justice and culture, the history of Israel in modern times, history of ideas, philosophy of Halacha and Talmud study.

[ha-Safran] Massorot Vol. 18
Hello, We would like to introduce a new volume published by The Mandel Institute of Jewish Studies: Massorot Vol. 18 Edited by: Ofra Tirosh-becker<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Ofra+Tirosh-becker.aspx?name=Ofra+Tirosh-becker>, David M. Bunis<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/David+M.+Bunis.aspx?name=David+M.+Bunis> We are pleased to present the readers with volume 18 of Massorot, published through the cooperation of the Center for Jewish Languages and Literatures and the Jewish Oral Traditions Research Center of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The present volume contains nine articles and a review (with additional notes) of an unpublished Hebrew–Yiddish dictionary. The contributions include work by established authorities in the field of Jewish language research, as well as the fruit of younger researchers who have recently joined their ranks. The diversity of the scholarship in the present volume is to be seen in the wide variety of languages discussed, the varied linguistic and literary topics analyzed, as well as the diverse periods in which the sources studied were produced. In his article, Moshe Bar-Asher analyzes the Romance component in the varieties of Judeo-Arabic spoken in recent generations in Ksar Es-Souk, Morocco. Chava Turniansky focuses on the Hebrew component in literary Yiddish as an indicator of the level of traditional education of the writers incorporating it in works they composed in the second decade of the 18th century. Michal Held examines reflections of spoken Judeo-Spanish woven into the weave of a contemporary Hebrew novel. Ilil Baum analyzes the use of the productive suffix -ad̠a in Judeo-Spanish as compared with the use of its cognates in non-Jewish languages of Ibero-Romance stock. Hanoch Gamliel argues in his article that some of the lĕ‘azim (or Old Judeo-French explanatory elements) adduced in Rashi’s commentary on the Torah should be understood as examples of grammatical categories rather than as lexical correspondents. Two of the articles in the present volume deal with problems of translation. Michael Ryzhik examines how the Hebrew names of birds and fowl appearing in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 were rendered in Judeo-Italian Bible translations from the 15th and 16th centuries. Shay Matsa focuses on the linguistic characteristics of a modern Arabic translation of the Passover Haggadah produced in 2003 by a Jew from Syria, examined in the light of personal observations made to the author by the translator himself. Ora (Rodrigue) Schwarzwald compares the linguistic features of two texts in Ladino composed by the same author, Rabbi Meir Benveniste of mid-16th-century Salonika. Efraim Hazan presents and analyzes a letter of friendship in Hebrew verse from Morocco; the numerical value of the Hebrew letters of each stanza (except one) is 654, corresponding to the Hebrew year ([5]654 = 1894) in which the letter was written. The closing article focuses on an unpublished Hebrew–Yiddish dictionary written by Meir Berger in the 1970s. This article includes an introduction by Berger’s former student, Chava Turniansky, and personal notes by his son, Yitzhaq Berger. These are followed by Yitskhok Niborski’s review of Berger’s dictionary, in which it is compared with the 1960 Hebrew–Yiddish dictionary of Mordechai Tsanin. Niborski’s review was translated from Yiddish into Hebrew by Moshe Taube. The book features article summaries in English.

[ha-Safran] Embryology in Jewish and Ancient Middle Eastern Sources
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes press. Korot -The Israel journal of the history of medicine and science vol. 23 Embryology in Jewish and Ancient Middle Eastern Sources Edited by: Samuel S. Kottek<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Samuel+S.+Kottek.aspx?name=Samuel+S.+Kottek> The present volume 23 of Korot has as main topics, first, embryology in Jewish and ancient Middle Eastern sources, and second, medicine in the Holocaust. [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5040]The section on embryology consists of six articles, four of which were presented in a symposium entitled “On Fetuses, Infants and everything in-between through the Ages,” which was held at the Van Leer Institute on March 30, 2015. The meeting was sponsored by the Israel Society for the History of Medicine and by Korot, and organized by Dr. Israela Nili. Three of the papers concentrate on ancient Mesopotamia: Dr. Couto-Ferreira describes embryological data in Akkadian and Sumerian texts, Prof. Klein expounds embryological issues in the omen literature, and Prof. Fleishman discusses some of the legal aspects of parenthood. Prof. Cohen analyzes the influence of Septuagint translation in the debate concerning abortion. Two additional papers deal with later Hellenistic sources: Prof. Kottek and Dr. Paavilainen discuss the contribution of Philo the Alexandrian and Prof. van der Horst examines Hellenistic Christian sources, respectively. The section on the Holocaust includes three studies. Dr. van den Ende’s paper describes the ethical dilemmas faced by the Jewish doctors in Holland during the Nazi occupation. It was first presented in the workshop of the 15th Nahariya Conference on Medicine and the Holocaust (May 6, 2015), convened by Prof. Shaul Shasha. Dr. Schwoch deals with the same issue from the point of view of the Jewish Krankenbehandler in Germany. Dr. Offer’s bibliographical review, the first part of which has been published in Korot, volume 22, describes the development of academic research in Jewish medicine in the Holocaust from the third decade after the Holocaust until the first decade of the 21st century. The rest of the articles presented in this volume concentrate on the life and work of several Jewish physicians, the only exception being Prof. Nissan’s paper on hybrid animals in Jewish sources. Prof. McDonald analyzes the story of the Jewish personal physician of Charles the Bald, accused by later authors of having poisoned the king. Prof. Gath discusses a similar topic: Jan III Sobieski and his Jewish physician, who was later blamed for having caused his death. Dr. Nevins casts new light on the mystery of Vesalius’ Jewish friend and adviser in Hebrew medical terms. Prof. Shḥori-Rubin’s work on Dr. Fanny Lvova continues her series of articles on Jewish pioneer women doctors. Dr. Paavilainen describes Isaac Israeli’s way of diagnosing the complex symptoms of consumption. Prof. Freudenthal summarizes the different pressures affecting medieval Jewish physicians and explains on the basis of a contemporary source why science did not thrive among the Jewish scholars of Provence. The volume is, as usual, bilingual (12 articles in English, 4 in Hebrew), with contributions from Spain, Holland, Germany, Britain, USA, France, and of course Israel.

[ha-Safran] Jesus in Israeli Art
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes press and The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Behold the Man Jesus in Israeli Art By Amitai Mendelsohn<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Amitai+Mendelsohn.aspx?name=Amitai+Mendelsohn> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5037] Dr. Amitai Mendelsohn investigates the various appearances of the figure of Jesus in Israeli art as a significant, multifaceted and ever-present phenomenon. Through works by prominent artists from different generations, it discusses in depth the evolving attitudes of Jewish, Zionist pre-state, and Israeli art towards Jesus, from the second half of the nineteenth century until today: from artists laboring "In the shadow of the Cross" to artists who saw Jesus as a symbol of the rebirth of the Jewish people in the land of Israel, and artists whose engagement with Jesus is detached from the complex and fraught relations between Christianity and Judaism, and who see him as symbolizing the suffering artist. The book examines the different directions taken by Israeli artists in portraying the figure of Jesus, and proves the extent of this phenomena and its ever present importance. Dr. Amitai Mendelsohn is the Curator of Israeli Art in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.

[ha-Safran] Book of Deuteronomy - Mikra Leyisrael
Hello, We would like to introduce a new title published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press and Am Oved: Book of Deuteronomy Two Vol. Set Mikra Leyisrael By Jeffrey H. Tigay<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Jeffrey+H.+Tigay.aspx?name=Jeffrey+H.+Tigay> Edited by: Shmuel Ahituv Translation: David Louvish, Dalia Amara The publication of the commentary on the book of Deuteronomy is a moment for students of the Bible and for the educated Hebrew reader to celebrate. Now, for the first time, we have a critical Hebrew commentary on the book of Deuteronomy. The author, Jeffrey Tigay, is emeritus professor in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The commentary is part of the series Mikra Leyisrael (Bible for Israel), a series of critical commentaries on the Bible whose authors are recognized scholars at universities in Israel and abroad. The commentaries make extensive use of the best of traditional Jewish exegesis of the Bible and modern Biblical scholarship and the disciplines that contribute to understanding the Bible in the context of the cultures of the ancient Near East – philology and the history and archaeology of the region – and literary scholarship. Prof. Tigay’s commentary is a must for all who wish to study the book of Deuteronomy and deepen their understanding of it. This new commentary benefits from Biblical research that has taken place during the more than 20 years since the first edition of this commentary (by the same author) was published in English by the Jewish Publication Society of America as the final volume of their Torah Commentary, and it deals with numerous additional matters of interest to Hebrew readers.

[ha-Safran] Justice and Emotions between Conflict and Mediation, A Cross-Disciplinary Anthology
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes Press in collaboration with Martin Buber Society of Fellows: Revenge, Retribution, Reconciliation Justice and Emotions between Conflict and Mediation A Cross-Disciplinary Anthology Edited by: Kim Wünschmann<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Kim+W%c3%bcnschmann.aspx?name=Kim+W%c3%bcnschmann>, Laura Jockusch<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Laura+Jockusch.aspx?name=Laura+Jockusch>, Andreas Kraft<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Andreas+Kraft.aspx?name=Andreas+Kraft> "Revenge rarely figures as a felt emotion, or as a remembered desire, and even more rarely as a guide to actions performed. A joke in circulation among Czech Jewish survivors shows that survivors themselves explicitly recognized this absence: Hitler, trying to hide his postwar identity, enters a cafe in Prague and sees a survivor reading the daily newspaper. 'Could I borrow your paper?' whispers Hitler politely. The Jew, recognizing Hitler, answers in fury: 'No, Herr Führer, you will never get a newspaper from me after what you have done to my people during the war.' " The Martin Buber Society of Fellows explore how individuals, groups, and societies in a variety of cultural contexts, political settings, and time periods respond to the perpetration of injustices. Approaching the concepts of revenge, retribution, and reconciliation from interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives, it opens a fruitful discussion among scholars of history, literature, psychology, biology, political science, communications, sociology, religious studies, law, and philosophy. The book investigates how social groups reach and maintain an equilibrium between an emotional thirst for an immediate and unmediated response to injustices and societies’ need to adjudicate measures and sanctions that seem proportional to the breech of justice. This volume is the third in the Martin Buber Society of Fellows Notebook Series.

[ha-Safran] 'The Book of the Soul of Man' - Commentary on Ecclesiastes
Hello We would like to introduce a new publication by the World Union of Jewish Studies: 'The Book of the Soul of Man' Commentary on Ecclesiastes By Samuel Ben Judah Ibn Tibbon Edited by: James T. Robinson Samuel b. Judah ibn Tibbon (c. 1165-1232) is most famous for his translation of Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed into Hebrew. He translated other writings as well, and produced original works of philosophy and biblical exegesis. This book makes available for the first time ever Ibn Tibbon's Perush Qohelet, a sprawling adaptation of Maimonides' method of exegesis to the complete verse-by-verse explication of a biblical book. The edition is presented with full annotation -- identifying Ibn Tibbon's sources and explaining his ideas and terminology -- and analytical introduction, which presents the life and writings of the author, describes the commentary itself in detail, explains the method and philosophy of the commentary, and charts its historical influence. In later medieval Jewish thought, few figures were unaffected by this foundational work of Maimonideanism.

[ha-Safran] Eight Conversations on the Epistle to the Hebrews
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes Press: God’s Word Is Powerful Eight Conversations on the Epistle to the Hebrews By Yair Zakovitch<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Yair+Zakovitch.aspx?name=Yair+Zakovitch>, Serge Ruzer<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Serge+Ruzer.aspx?name=Serge+Ruzer> The character of the Epistle to the Hebrews differs greatly from all other letters included in the New Testament. It is actually a sermon interpreting numerous biblical verses with the aim to substantiate its unique claim for Jesus' heavenly priesthood. The reliance on biblical proof-texts enables the writer to establish his innovative claims vis-a-vis both the broader Jewish tradition and the competing outlooks existing within the Jesus movement itself. The eight conversations in the book discuss the Epistle's interpretative strategies in order to unearth the worldview of its author and the nature of its target audience.

[ha-Safran] Early Holocaust Testimonies of Child Survivors
Hello, We would like to introduce a new title published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press: Was their Voice heard? Early Holocaust Testimonies of Child Survivors Edited by: Boaz Cohen<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Boaz+Cohen.aspx?name=Boaz+Cohen> This book is an edited collection of papers, in Hebrew, addressing the unique phenomenon of the collection of testimonies from child survivors of the Holocaust while they were still children or teenagers in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust. The instructions for these interviews go as far back as 1945. The book maps the collecting, publication and filming of testimonies and addresses issues of authenticity, methodology dissemination and reception. Who interviewed the children and how? What is the correct way to read these interviews and what can be studied from them? Do the existing interviews faithfully reflect the children's experiences and feelings? What was the cultural and social background of these interviews and their publication? These testimonies teach the strategies Jewish families used to save themselves and especially the children: not passively like 'sheep to the slaughter' but coping with changing situations by struggling . The testimonies also teach us about the relationship between Jews and gentiles; rescue and sacrifice on the part of non-Jews on the one hand, and the persecution and murder on the other. Some of the papers are adapted translation of papers published in English and some were written for this volume by historians, linguists and literati. Included is also contemporary material from the period. Participating researchers: Boaz Cohen, Joanna Michlic, Gabriel Finder, Beate Muller, Rita Horvath, Zuzanna Schnepf-Kolacz, Sharon Geva, Emunah Nachmani-Gafni and Yvonne Kozlovski-Golan Dr. Boaz Cohen, a historian, is head of the Holocaust Studies program of the Western Galilee College in Akko and a lecturer at the Shaanan College in Haifa, Israel. His work focuses on the development of Holocaust memory and historiography in their social and cultural context and on Jewish and Israeli post-Holocaust society. His current research is on early Holocaust historiography, Holocaust testimonies and early children's Holocaust testimonies and the adult interest in them. Dr. Cohen is the convener and organizer of several Holocaust Studies conferences in the Western Galilee College including the international conference series "The Future of Holocaust Testimonies“.

[ha-Safran] Sefer Brit ha-Menuḥa (Book of Covenant of Serenity)
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes Press: Sefer Brit ha-Menuḥa (Book of Covenant of Serenity) Critical Edition and Prefaces By Oded Porat<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Oded+Porat.aspx?name=Oded+Porat> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5026] 'Sefer B'rit ha-Menuḥa' is an anonymous Kabbalistic book from the late 13th century or the beginning of the 14th century. The content of the book is best described by the alternative name - "The Book of Lights," given to it due to its central descriptions of the journeys of Israel in the desert, and the images of the vowels of the Name of God, that are portrayed as journeys of divine lights. The treatise describes the complete set of divine theosophical and angelologic powers in a coherent system, in order to relate and unite each name of an angel with its source, and to allow magic acts by the application of the full cosmological and divine unity. This eclectic critical annotated edition provides, for the first time, a clear and coherent text from the book's forty four manuscripts and eight previous prints (from 1648 till recent), presents supplements and relics of the book from additional manuscripts, along with an early treatise by the same unknown author - 'Sefer ha-Gevura' (Book of Enhancement).

The Gdoilim Leaders Who Shaped the Israeli Haredi Jewry Edited by: Benjamin Brown<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Benjamin+Brown.aspx?name=Benjamin+Brown>, Nissim Leon<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Nissim+Leon.aspx?name=Nissim+Leon> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5047] One of the most visible aspects of Orthodox Judaism in present-day Israel is the ubiquity of the "Gdoilim" – "the great ones" - the luminary spiritual leaders whose presence dominates orthodox politics, media and the public space. However, these individuals, whose lives are constantly canonized in hagiographies, have largely remained unknown outside the Orthodox Jewish communities, and have generally been overlooked by the academic research. The 'Gdoilim': Individuals who shaped Haredi Judaism in Israel is a pioneering attempt to fill this gap by offering a comprehensive collection of articles by Israeli and American leading scholars of Orthodox Judaism striving to elucidate the lives and theologies of these extraordinary individuals and explain the secret of their lasting power.

[ha-Safran] A Philosophical Study of the Evolution of Amoraic Halakha
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes press and The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute: The Languages of Talmudic Discourse A Philosophical Study of the Evolution of Amoraic Halakha [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5041]By Ariel Furstenberg<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Ariel+Furstenberg.aspx?name=Ariel+Furstenberg> A groundbreaking work, this book brings together philosophy of science and language, conceptual dynamics and the Babylonian Talmud. The work asks: what philosophy of natural language lies at the basis of the Halakhic dynamic in the Amoraic discourse of the Talmud? Calling upon two post-Wittgenstein philosophies, the book undertakes a search for a philosophical account of the discursive culture that appears in the Talmud. It unearths the normative infrastructure that lies at its core. Thus, this study articulates what can be termed the Talmudic philosophy of language. On the other hand, it reveals the limits and weaknesses of central philosophical frameworks in coping with a profound traditional discourse like the Talmud, in which the past has a deep and integral role in the present, while at the same time, the present has its own natural and creative dynamic.

[ha-Safran] The Legal Status of the Mother in the Ancient Near East and the Bible
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes press. The Legal Status of the Mother in the Ancient Near East and the Bible By Lea Jacobsen<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Lea+Jacobsen.aspx?name=Lea+Jacobsen> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5063] Mesopotamian and biblical societies in antiquity were characterized by their patriarchal structure. The father was head of the family unit, and his rule extended over many areas of life. He had broad legal authority over the members of his household, including his offspring. It is therefore expected that in the ancient sources a dominant father figure would be mentioned alone or almost alone. And yet, in Mesopotamian and biblical texts, particularly legal writings, the exclusivity of the father is not always explicit. In many of the Mesopotamian and biblical writings, especially legal texts, the mother is mentioned in various contexts and in a range of realms, mainly those pertaining to her offspring. This intriguing phenomenon raised the question whether the mother in the ancient Near East and ancient Israel had legal authority in the household. The book The Legal Status of the Mother in the Ancient Near East and the Bible sheds light on the world of the ancient mothers and their status within the households and the societies in which they lived. This study demonstrates that the mother acted by virtue of the legal status she possessed in matters related to her sons and daughters' marriages and their behavior towards her. This book is for those walking in the fields of Mesopotamian and biblical research, and for readers interested in the universal subject in question - the relations between the mother and her offspring.

[ha-Safran] Sin for the Sake of God: A Tale of a Radical Idea in the Talmudic Literature
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes press. Sin for the Sake of God A Tale of a Radical Idea in the Talmudic Literature By Yuval Blankovsky<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Yuval+Blankovsky.aspx?name=Yuval+Blankovsky> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5048]All cultures, religions, and ethical or legal systems struggle with the role intention plays in evaluating actions. The Talmud compellingly elaborates on the notion of intention through the radical concept that "A sin committed for the sake of God [averah li-shmah] is greater than a commandment fulfilled not for the sake of God [mi-mizvah she-lo li-shmah]." The Babylonian Talmud attributes this concept, which challenges one of rabbinic Judaism's most fundamental dogmas, the obligation to fulfill the commandments and avoid sin-to R. Nahman b. Isaac (RNBI), a renowned 4th century Amora. Considering the normative character of the rabbinic culture in which Halakhah (Jewish religious law) plays such a central role, this concept, seems almost like a foreign body in the Talmudic corpus. The book reveals the origins of this radical idea, its accurate meaning and use in the time this concept was formulated and the movement of this radical idea from the margins culture to mainstream - into the Babylonian Talmud, the canonic book of Rabbinic Judaism. The findings of this research provide substantial insight into our understanding of the interpretive process and of conceptual adaptation in rabbinic culture. Dr. Yuval Blankovsky is a Talmud scholar and the Berkowitz fellow at NYU Law School. His main interests are the literature of the Sages, the Yeshiva's world commentary on the Talmud, and its relation to academic commentary on the Talmud.

[ha-Safran] Jesus in Israeli Art
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes press and The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Behold the Man Jesus in Israeli Art By Amitai Mendelsohn<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Amitai+Mendelsohn.aspx?name=Amitai+Mendelsohn> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5060] Dr. Amitai Mendelsohn investigates the various appearances of the figure of Jesus in Israeli art as a significant, multifaceted and ever-present phenomenon. Through works by prominent artists from different generations, it discusses in depth the evolving attitudes of Jewish, Zionist pre-state, and Israeli art towards Jesus, from the second half of the nineteenth century until today: from artists laboring "In the shadow of the Cross" to artists who saw Jesus as a symbol of the rebirth of the Jewish people in the land of Israel, and artists whose engagement with Jesus is detached from the complex and fraught relations between Christianity and Judaism, and who see him as symbolizing the suffering artist. The book examines the different directions taken by Israeli artists in portraying the figure of Jesus, and proves the extent of this phenomena and its ever present importance. Dr. Amitai Mendelsohn is the Curator of Israeli Art in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem He holds an M.A. in Art History from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and finished his Doctorate in Israeli Art in the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. His PhD. Thesis focused on the figure of Jesus in Jewish and Israeli Art.

[ha-Safran] Hebrew: Take 2
Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by Academon press. Hebrew: Take 2 By Dalia Roth-Gavison<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Dalia+Roth-Gavison.aspx?name=Dalia+Roth-Gavison>, Dana Spektor<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Dana+Spektor.aspx?name=Dana+Spektor> [http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5091] The book Hebrew: Take 2, for Level II, grew out of the need for instructional material that reflects Israeli society with its cultural heterogeneity, using narrative characters to express the texture of everyday life in today’s Israel. The book has ten chapters dealing with various topics, such as the status of women, ecology, landscapes, the home, education, language and more. The student learns about the Israeli experience while acquiring the language and increasing proficiency in its use. Topics range from light to heavy in terms of difficulty (vocabulary, syntactic structures, etc.) and in terms of textual complexity. Each chapter ends with a story chosen to reflect on the subject matter of the chapter and according to the linguistic topics studied in it. At the end of each chapter, various reinforcement exercises are introduced to implement the subjects studied, to deepen knowledge and to enrich the students’ experience. At the end of the book is a glossary for each chapter, accompanied by Arabic and English translations.
