Praeger, in collaboration with the distinguished International
Center for University Teaching of Jewish Civilization, Jerusalem,
and in association with Israeli's Open University, has undertaken
the publication of this multi-volume series. Binah brings together
for the first time in English seminal articles in Jewish history,
thought, and culture. This landmark series, edited by Joseph Dan
and under the general supervision of Moshe Davis, will provide
resource materials for students enrolled in courses in Jewish
studies, religion, history, literature, sociology, cultural
anthropology, and philosophy. Binah includes topics from the
Biblical period through the 20th century. Each volume of articles
is approximately 300 pages in length. An introduction explains the
criteria for selecting the articles and indicates their
contribution to Jewish history, thought, and culture. The articles,
not previously translated, are adapted from their original Hebrew
sources in order to make them more accessible to the undergraduate
reader, but the editors have made every effort to remain faithful
to the intent of the original authors. Each article is preceded by
a statement that indicates the original source, a brief
biographical sketch of the author placing the article within the
framework of his life-work, and the name of the translator/adaptor.
The series is bound in both a hardcover library version and in a
loose-leaf format, allowing the instructor maximum flexibility in
utilizing the materials. By special agreement, purchasers acquire
the right to make copies of the articles for student use. Thus,
instructors can virtually build a package of readings for their
students.
