This book is devoted to Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's discussions
on the practice of prayer. Prayer is analyzed across a broad and
complex spectrum in Soloveitchik's work, and his writings
describing and analyzing the experience of prayer afford a profound
insight into its diversity, ranging from existential crisis to
communion with God. Through a careful reading of R. Soloveitchik's
texts dealing with this topic, the book follows the consciousness
of prayer across its various stages until maturity, starting with
an analysis of Worship of the Heart, through to Reflections on the
Amidah and other writings.
How can we characterize the uniqueness of poetic language? How can
we describe the evasive enchantment of the paradox that is created
by both universal and autobiographical expression? How does
ordinary language function aesthetically while motivating the
reader to acknowledge himself, and to reveal how far his thinking
belongs to the present, the future, or the past? Ludwig
Wittgenstein, the central founder of the linguistic turn and the
inspiration of countless works, inspires the search of this book
for various linguistic functions: Dialogic, aesthetic and mystical.
The search investigates four Modern Hebrew poets: Zelda, Yehuda
Amichai, Admiel Kosman, and Shimon Adaf based on their family
resemblance of intertextuality in their language-games. The book
resists social-cultural categorizations as religious vs. secular
poetry or Mizrahi vs. Ashkenazi literature, and instead, focuses on
Wittgenstein's aspects, suggesting universal interpretation of
these corpuses.
The postmodernist experience is associated with a strong interest
in the concepts of saints and religious genius. In this volume, Dov
Schwartz considers the questions related to these ideas through his
close analysis of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Hakohen Kook. This figure is
revered by Zionists as a founding father of the Zionist movement.
Religious Zionists see him, additionally, as an unquestioned
spiritual and altruistic authority with extraordinary halakhic,
philosophical, and Kabbalistic intuitions. While Rabbi Kook has
often been studied through historical and philosophical
disciplines, this book addresses the degree to which his writings
can prove to be beneficial to the postmodern discourse. It examines
Rabbi Kook's ideas in the religious Zionist context, analyzing the
concept of the perfect man in Rabbi Kook's philosophy in light of
the postmodern discourse on saints.

the first books to combine the latest clinical developments in the
treatment of patients with peritoneal surface disease and the
scientific principles that underlie the concept of intraperitoneal
cancer therapy. The book covers basic concepts such as anatomy,
physiology, pharmacology, and mathematical models of drug transport
as well as practical clinical applications, highlighted with
results from clinical trials and promising novel preclinical
developments. The book is a state-of-the-art reference for surgical
and medical oncologists interested in the treatment of
carcinomatosis. It also establishes and promotes basic and
translational research interest in the field of intraperitoneal
drug delivery, which has the potential to improve the outcome for
this dreaded condition. Edited by two renowned surgical
oncologists, it represents the definitive reference in the field of
intraperitoneal cancer therapy.

The author applies the fields of gender studies, psychoanalysis,
and literature to Talmudic texts. In opposition to the perception
of Judaism as a legal system, he argues that the Talmud demands
inner spiritual effort, to which the trait of humility and the
refinement of the ego are central. This leads to the question of
the attitude to the Other, in general, and especially to women. The
author shows that the Talmud places the woman (who represents
humility and good-heartedness in the Talmudic narratives) above the
character of the male depicted in these narratives as a scholar
with an inflated sense of self-importance. In the last chapter
(that in terms of its scope and content could be a freestanding
monograph) the author employs the insights that emerged from the
preceding chapters to present a new reading of the Creation
narrative in the Bible and the Rabbinic commentaries. The divine
act of creation is presented as a primal sexual act, a sort of
dialogic model of the consummate sanctity that takes its place in
man's spiritual life when the option of opening one's heart to the
other in a male-female dialogue is realized.
