  • Publisher: CCAR Press

A beautiful, poetic translation of the Book of Psalms, Songs Ascending includes textual commentary and insights into the translation process, illuminating the choices of the original composers and the choices facing us in the 21st century as we try to make each psalm our own. The spiritual commentary asks: To what events, struggles, and triumphs in our lives might this psalm speak? How might this psalm articulate an aspect of our own sacred existence, or how might it help us celebrate a special day in our lives? How might it provide comfort when we are bereft and most in need of consolation, or how might it help us provide comfort for someone else? Songs Ascending explores all this and more, engaging the reader in dialogue that will inform and inspire.

Where is Reform Judaism heading in the twenty-first century? This was the question before the Central Conference of American Rabbis at its historic 1999 convention in Pittsburgh as it voted on a Statement of Principles. A Vision of Holiness: The Future of Reform Judaism is an explication of these Pittsburgh Principles, the fourth in a series of comprehensive statements that the Reform rabbinate has adopted throughout its history, as seen through the eyes of the rabbi who guided the process and shaped the document. A Vision of Holiness offers challenges and opportunities to Jews everywhere. This book contains the final text of the Pittsburgh Principles along with commentary by its chief architect, Rabbi Richard N. Levy. Rabbi Levy challenges his readers to reflect on the nature of their religious lives and deepen their relationship with God, their connection to Torah, and their commitment to the destiny of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. A Vision of Holiness illumines the manner in which Jews can envision their purpose in the world, and sets forth challenges for Reform Judaism's ongoing engagement with the question of being commanded.

Psalms have been part of Jewish ritual and liturgy for centuries, expressing praise to God, feelings of sorrow and longing, and much more. Rabbi Jade Sank Ross’s To You I Call is an invitation to make the ancient words of psalms part of our daily lives. The book pairs seventy-two psalms with a range of life moments, from giving birth to retirement to experiencing antisemitism—times of grief and gratitude, anticipation and despair, pain and relief. Rabbi Sank Ross’s original, authentic framing and Rabbi Richard N. Levy’s beautiful, contemporary translations let readers forge a deep and personal connection with the words of the Psalmist. With sensitivity and vulnerability, To You I Cal...

The Ten Commandments for Jews, Christians, and Others

The Ten Commandments for Jews, Christians, and Others

In this book eminent Jewish and Christian scholars come together to illuminate the Ten Commandments. Roger Van Harn has arranged the volume so that writers from both traditions dialogue over each of the Ten Words. A Christian or a Jew writes a penetrating essay about one of the commandments, followed by a shorter response from a member of the other tradition -- all done, remarkably, without sacrificing either Jewish or Christian identity. Unique for its authentic interfaith dialogue on dogmatic matters, The Ten Commandments for Jews, Christians, and Others offers pertinent guidelines for believing Jews and Christians today, with the goal of stimulating deeper conversation between the two groups. As Van Harn says, "Listening to one another may hold pleasant surprises that open us to new possibilities.

Broken Tablets

Let the Ten Commandments command your imagination ... and enrich your life. When the Holy One gave the Torah, no bird chirped, no fowl flew, no ox lowed, not one angel stirred its wing or sang its song. The sea did not roar, creatures did not speak—the whole world was hushed into breathless silence; it was then that the voice went forth: "I am the Lord your God..." —Exodus Rabba 29:9 Even people who claim not to be “religious” will generally maintain that they do observe the Ten Commandments. Why is it that these ten statements, thousands of years old, continue to have such a special hold on us? Here, twelve outstanding spiritual leaders from across the spectrum of Jewish thought bri...
