Turning Blue: A Life Beneath the Shield
ISBN: 9781682895801 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As a kid growing up on Long Island, I struggled with an unknown psychological need to wear a uniform and a strong desire to be a part of an organization. My search would take me through Little League, Cub Scouts, and various fraternal organizations. This desire would only be fulfilled after joining the NYPD in February of 1984. Somewhere during my twenty-year career, I was transformed from that kid into a veteran New York City police detective. This is my evolution from a middle-class suburban kid with simple values who naively thought the "projects" were a homework assignment into a veteran...

Rethinking Synagogues: A New Vocabulary for Congregational Life
ISBN: 9781580232487 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A critical and challenging look at reinventing the synagogue, as the centerpiece of a refashioned Jewish community.

Covenant of Blood: Circumcision and Gender in Rabbinic Judaism
ISBN: 9780226347844 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Central to both biblical narrative and rabbinic commentary, circumcision has remained a defining rite of Jewish identity, a symbol so powerful that challenges to it have always been considered taboo. Lawrence Hoffman seeks to find out why circumcision holds such an important place in the Jewish psyche. He traces the symbolism of circumcision through Jewish history, examining its evolution as a symbol of the covenant in the post-exilic period of the Bible and its subsequent meaning in the formative era of Mishnah and Talmud.
In the rabbinic system, Hoffman argues, circumcision was neither... Central to both biblical narrative and rabbinic commentary, circumcision has remained a defining rite of Jewish identity, a symbol so powerful that ch...

It is time to recover rabbinic lessons of late antiquity: God is a God of grace and love; human beings can aspire to goodness and promise; on Yom Kippur the two of them meet--God's love energizes human potential and the world is reborn with hope restored. The God of Jewish tradition is far from the strict God of justice commonly understood to be the God of the Hebrew Bible. God's self-introduction to Moses atop Mount Sinai does indeed conclude with the image of punishment throughout the generations but begins with "God merciful and gracious," the imagery that finds...
