Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (1207-73) was a 13th-century Persian
poet, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic originally from
Greater Khorasan in Iran. This Chinese-bound volume offers a
selection of his many poems with a variety of themes, including
love, marriage, life and death, passion and mysticism, as well as
his religious collection, Rubaiyat, and his long poem, Masnavi, one
of the most influential works of Sufism, an Islamic form of
mysticism. Rumi's reach transcends national borders and ethnic
divisions: his poetry has influenced not only Persian literature,
but also the literary traditions of the Ottoman Turkish, Chagatai,
Urdu, Bengali and Pashto languages.
For the first time, Etty Hillesum's diary and letters appear
together to give us the fullest possible portrait of this
extraordinary woman. In the darkest years of Nazi occupation and
genocide, Etty Hillesum remained a celebrant of life whose lucid
intelligence, sympathy, and almost impossible gallantry were
themselves a form of inner resistance. The adult counterpart to
Anne Frank, Hillesum testifies to the possibility of awareness and
compassion in the face of the most devastating challenge to one's
humanity. She died at Auschwitz in 1943 at the age of twenty-nine.

Exploring what it means to come of age in an era marked by
increasing antisemitism, readers see through the eyes of Jewish Gen
Zers how identities are shaped in response to and in defiance of
antisemitism. Using personal experiences, qualitative research, and
the historic moment in which Generation Z is coming of age, Jewish
educator Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath uses antisemitism from both the
political left and the right to explore identity development among
Jewish Generation Zers. With insights from educators, students,
activists, and more, she holds a lens up to current antisemitism
and its impact on the choices and opinions of the next generation
of Jewish leaders. Chapters cover Holocaust education for the final
generation able to speak directly to Holocaust survivors and learn
their stories firsthand; anti-Zionism as a modern manifestation of
antisemitism; and how the realities of 21st-century America have
shaped the modern Jewish experience, ranging from the synagogue
shooting in Pittsburgh to how Generation Zers use social media and
understand diversity. The core of this book is a collection of
stories: of intersectional identity, of minority affiliations, and
of overcoming adversity in order to flourish and thrive. Provides a
comprehensive deep dive into multifaceted manifestations of modern
antisemitism and their impact on the emerging Jewish identities of
Generation Z Explores the common thread of antisemitism through the
lens of Israel, the Holocaust, social media, and racial justice
during a large national uptick in anti-Jewish hatred Offers
personal and research-based perspectives on how antisemitism
impacts the modern American Jewish experience.
Al-Minhaj al-Sawi is a milestone work, the first work of its kind
for many centuries. It is a compendium of Prophetic Hadiths,
categorised under a number of headings and compiled with clear
relevance to the lives and situation of Muslims in the modern age.
The work is authenticated by a rigorous and detailed process of
Takhreej - referencing each hadith to its sources - from a study of
over 300 authentic works of hadith. This work will be useful for
academics in many relevant fields, whether researching the basis of
orthodox Sunni belief and practice, or examining the contemporary
Muslim response to religious extremism. It is split into 2 volumes:
Prophetic Virtues and Miracles and Righteous Character and Social
Interactions. The second part Righteous Character and Social
Interactions presents sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad
concerning interactions with non-Muslims and non-Muslim
communities, his method of prayer and spiritual devotion, his
status and characteristics, and provides clarification of other
important issues of the age, such as Jihad, Khawarijism, and
Tassawuf.
