Examines the ways in which the Jewish religion has changed and how it has remained constant over the years
This Yiddish-English dictionary includes over 4,000 Romanized word-to-word entries; an appendix of idiomatic expressions & proverbs; and an appendix of common words used in the English language.
The transliterated and translated proverbs are arranged by Hebrew subject; a complete index in English accompanies the text.
Original works appear in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino alongside the English translations.
Now in its fifth edition, this popular reference includes 100 new questions that address today's controversial issues. What is the Jewish attitude towards stem cell research? Are same-sex unions permitted within Judaism? David Gross draws on traditional Jewish law to answer these questions and many others. This collection presents a wealth of information about the Jewish religion and its cultural traditions. Its chapters are arranged by topics, such as Family Life, the Synagogue, Holidays and festivals, and Israel. This is essential reading for all Jews and for non-Jews seeking to learn more about this faith and its traditions.
When the Jews fled Iraq for Israel, they could not take their material possessions with them, but did take their rich cuisine. Delicious dishes like Smack ab Thum oo Rihan (Garlic and Basil Fish) and Burekas im Gevina veh Tered (Feta and Spinach Pie) are included in this unique book. Jewish Iraqi aphorisms and beautiful photographs complete this presentation of the foods of the Iraqi Jews. As the saying goes, Man yakle al ein au el'thum (Who desires the food, the eyes or the mouth?).
