Jews in Byzantium: Dialectics of Minority and Majority Cultures
ISBN: 9789004203556 / Angielski / Twarda / 1060 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the ever increasing volume of Byzantine Studies in recent years there seems to be one very apparent void, namely, the history and culture of the Byzantine Jewry, its presence and impact on the surrounding convoluted Byzantine world between Late Antiquity until the conquest of Byzantium (1453). With the now classic but dated studies by Joshua Starr and Andrew Sharf, the collective volume at hand is an attempt to somewhat fill in this void. The articles assembled in this volume are penned by leading scholars in the field. They present bird's eye views of the cultural history of the Jewish...

Yom Kippur as Manifest in an Approaching Dorsal Fin
ISBN: 9781629270012 / Angielski / Miękka / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Whatever 'the Jewish experience' might mean to the modern reader, Adam Byrn Tritt's approach is uniquely his own. He is 'observant' in the sense that he carefully observes, as you would expect of a man who is, at essence, a poet. As a self-described 'Jewitarian Buddhaversalist, ' he is aware that each tradition illuminates the other. This collection of essays and poems provides us with good talk. Conversation is the highest artform, and Mr. Tritt invites us in most kindly, with insight, erudition, humor, and compassion."

The Renewal of the Kibbutz: From Reform to Transformation
ISBN: 9780813560762 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We think of the kibbutz as a place for communal living and working. Members work, reside, and eat together, and share income "from each according to ability, to each according to need." But in the late 1980s the kibbutzim decided that they needed to change. Reforms--moderate at first--were put in place. Members could work outside of the organization, but wages went to the collective. Apartments could be expanded, but housing remained kibbutz-owned. In 1995, change accelerated. Kibbutzim began to pay salaries based on the market value of a member's work. As a result of such changes, the...
