A Man's Responsibility
What is Jewish men's spirituality? In today's world, is it necessary? A provocative look at how a new generation of Jewish men can grow spiritually, and in doing so, strengthen the intangible bonds of family, love, duty and truth which ultimately lead to God. It unearths the male stereotypes that exist in Judaism and color our expectations for what it means to be a Jewish man in today's world. It examines Jewish sources that reveal the traditional life cycle of a man--from son to partner in marriage to father--and in doing so uncovers the ideals that define being a Jewish man. It also views Jewish men within the context of a sacred community and what that means for the sacred obligations of manhood.
Empathy, Sociality, and Personhood
This book explores the phenomenological investigations of Edith Stein by critically contextualising her role within the phenomenological movement and assessing her accounts of empathy, sociality, and personhood. Despite the growing interest that surrounds contemporary research on empathy, Edith Stein’s phenomenological investigations have been largely neglected due to a historical tradition that tends to consider her either as Husserl’s assistant or as a martyr. However, in her phenomenological research, Edith Stein pursued critically the relation between phenomenology and psychology, focusing on the relation between affectivity, subjectivity, and personhood. Alongside phenomenologists l...
Israel, God, and America
"They have said, Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more..." (Psalms 83:4). Screaming headlines across radio, television, newspapers, and the Internet criticize and complain about the turmoil raging around Jerusalem. Years of peacemaking attempts have failed--why? "...the underlying issue in this conflict is spiritual--not human. The conflict is a 'covenant issue,' between Israel, the God of Israel, and the nations," writes author David Stein. He answers tough questions like: Whose land is it? Why is May, 1948 so significant? Who has the right to decide Israel's fate? The United States? The European Union? The United Nations? The Arab nations? Who will prevail? The will of God or the will of man? "...Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance" (Psalm 33:12). nly when you have a true understanding of God's plan for Israel and for America will you be prepared to embrace it. Explore the history and the future of the never-ending battle that will eventually encompass every nation on earth.
Biblical Origins
"promises to be vital and illuminating for all"—Rabbi David Ellenson, Chancellor Emeritus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion "a work of remarkable historical investigation"—Dale Pauls, Minister Emeritus, Stamford Church of Christ Just like us, the writers of the Bible tried to understand the world and their place in it. Using the literary device of allegory, the ancient Israelites created foundational stories for the people to coalesce around, giving them a sense of belonging and purpose. To illustrate, the tale of the Israelite Exodus from slavery in Egypt provided a sense of a communal struggle, but archaeological evidence shows that the Exodus did not in fact take pl...
