The Talmudic exegesis is constructed on special hermeneutic rules
which have the logical meaning in fact. On the basis of this
circumstance it is possible to speak about a special logical
culture of the Talmud and to call the logic used there.
Countless words have described the horrific events of Oct. 7, 2023. Extreme Trauma takes a different tack.
It is the only book to identify the "silver lining" – the incredible Israeli resilience – that emerged from that dark day. While squarely addressing the psychopathological issues of Hamas’s rape practices, Extreme Trauma dares to offer a message of hope – that through newfound unity, Israel and the Jewish people will survive and thrive.
This is a hard book to read emotionally, yet hard to put down motivational.
This is the untold story of the rediscovery of the ancient City of David in Jerusalem and the powerful evidence that proves the Jewish people’s historical and indigenous connection to the Holy Land.
Since the founding of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have faced nine wars against multiple enemies. Yet, beyond the physical conflicts, a deeper ideological battle has been waged against Israel and the Jewish people. This war, crafted by certain Arab leaders and echoed by international organizations like the United Nations, seeks to erase the Jewish people’s ancestral ties to the land, casting them as outsiders, imposters, and “settlers.”
One thing, however, stands in the way of the denialists: the 3,800-year history of the City of David, a site lying just south of the Old City. Archeologists at the site are unearthing evidence that proves the Jewish people’s origin story in the land for over three millennia. Every shovel of dirt reveals that while others may claim to be indigenous to Jerusalem, the Jewish people are, in fact, more indigenous to the Land of Israel than perhaps any other group living anywhere in the world.
This is the timely story of those who transformed City of David from a neglected hilltop village into one of the most important archeological heritage sites in the world, while facing powerful global institutions and terror groups that would do almost anything to keep this truth hidden. Highly relevant to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book foreshadows the events and historical denialism that unfolded with Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
This book offers a novel approach for the study of law in the
Judean Desert Scrolls, using the prism of legal theory. Following a
couple of decades of scholarly consensus withdrawing from the
"Essene hypothesis," it proposes to revive the term, and suggests
employing it for the sectarian movement as a whole, while
considering the group that lived in Qumran as the Yahad. It further
proposes a new suggestion for the emergence of the Yahad, based on
the roles of the Examiner and the Instructor in the two major legal
codes, the Damascus Document and the Community Rule. The
understanding of Essene law is divided into concepts and practices,
in order to emphasize the discrepancy between creed, rhetoric, and
practices. The abstract exploration of notions such as time, space,
obligation, intention, and retribution, is then compared against
the realities of social practices, including admission, initiation,
covenant, leadership, reproof, and punishment. The legal analysis
yields several new suggestions for the study of the scrolls: first,
Amihay proposes to rename the two strands of thought of Jewish law,
formerly referred to as "nominalism" and "realism," with the terms
"legal essentialism" and "legal formalism." The two laws of
admission in the Community Rule are distinguished as two different
laws, one of an association for a group as a whole, the other as an
admission of an individual. The law of reproof is proven to be an
independent legal procedure, rather than a preliminary stage of
prosecution. The methodological division in this study of thought
and practice provides a nuanced approach for the study of law in
general, and religious law in particular.
In 1943, German SS officers in charge of Auschwitz-Birkenau ordered that an orchestra should be formed among the female prisoners. Almost fifty women and girls from eleven nations were drafted into a hurriedly assembled band that would play marching music to other inmates, forced labourers who left each morning and returned, exhausted and often broken, at the end of the day. While still living amid the most brutal and dehumanising of circumstances, they were also made to give weekly concerts for Nazi officers, and individual members were sometimes summoned to give solo performances of an officer's favourite piece of music. It was the only entirely female orchestra in any of the Nazi prison camps and, for almost all of the musicians chosen to take part, being in the orchestra was to save their lives.
What role could music play in a death camp? What was the effect on those women who owed their survival to their participation in a Nazi propaganda project? And how did it feel to be forced to provide solace to the perpetrators of a genocide that claimed the lives of their family and friends? In The Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz, award-winning historian Anne Sebba traces these tangled questions of deep moral complexity with sensitivity and care.
From Alma Rosé, the orchestra's main conductor, niece of Gustav Mahler and a formidable pre-war celebrity violinist, to Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, its teenage cellist and last surviving member, Sebba draws on meticulous archival research and exclusive first-hand accounts to tell the full and astonishing story of the orchestra, its members and the response of other prisoners for the very first time.
