Thus, he introduces Kabbalah as a spiritual Jewish way of living, an Art of Being. This book reveals the core questions that emerge from the wisdom of the Jewish sages.

Carnal Israel : Reading Sex in Talmudic Culture
ISBN: 9780520203365 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Beginning with a startling endorsement of the patristic view of Judaism--that it was a "carnal" religion, in contrast to the spiritual vision of the Church--Daniel Boyarin argues that rabbinic Judaism was based on a set of assumptions about the human body that were profoundly different from those of Christianity. The body--specifically, the sexualized body--could not be renounced, for the Rabbis believed as a religious principle in the generation of offspring and hence in intercourse sanctioned by marriage. This belief bound men and women together and made impossible the various modes of...

Vanquished Nation, Broken Spirit : The Virtues of the Heart in Formative Judaism
ISBN: 9780521328326 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the Jews were a conquered nation. Yet Jewish sages and holy works preached a doctrine of both interior and exterior virtue that allowed the Jewish people to feel and believe in the dignity and nobility of their earthly condition. Neusner's book explores the attitudes in Jewish canonical writings and asks how these virtues relate to the politics of the Jews as a vanquished people. Jacob Neusner, the author of over 166 books on Judaism and Jewish history, is a frequent lecturer both in America...

Jewish Inscriptions of Western Europe: Volume 1, Italy (excluding the City of Rome), Spain and Gaul
ISBN: 9780521619776 / Angielski / Miękka / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although there was a substantial Jewish population in Western Europe from at least the first century BC, literary evidence for it before the end of the sixth century AD is very sparse, amounting to a few mainly hostile references by Roman writers and some material of doubtful historical value in rabbinic and hagiographic sources. Knowledge of the Jewish communities of the West is therefore almost entirely dependent on inscriptions, which contain information on community organisation, the use of biblical texts and religious symbols, linguistic habits, naming practices and social status, and...
