ISBN: 9781618114051 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

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...

Jewish Peoplehood: An American Innovation
ISBN: 9780813563640 / Angielski / Miękka / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner of the 2017 American Jewish Historical Society's Saul Viener Book Prize
Although fewer American Jews today describe themselves as religious, they overwhelmingly report a strong sense of belonging to the Jewish people. Indeed, Jewish peoplehood has eclipsed religion--as well as ethnicity and nationality--as the essence of what binds Jews around the globe to one another. In Jewish Peoplehood, Noam Pianko highlights the current significance and future relevance of "peoplehood" by tracing the rise, transformation, and return of this novel term. The book tells the...

Jewish Voices in Feminism: Transnational Perspectives
ISBN: 9780803277045 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Feminist theories maintain that gender issues are a ubiquitous component of our lives, intersecting with every aspect of the society in which we live and interact. Because the feminist debate has included questions important to Jewish discourse, including religion, antisemitism, Zionism, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is not surprising that such matters should also be of concern to Jewish women, many of whom have played an active role in feminist movements. In Jewish Voices in Feminism, Nelly Las navigates primarily among three cultures (French, Anglo-American,...

Foreigners and Their Food: Constructing Otherness in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Law
ISBN: 9780520286276 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Foreigners and Their Food explores how Jews, Christians, and Muslims conceptualize "us" and "them" through rules about the preparation of food by adherents of other religions and the act of eating with such outsiders. David M. Freidenreich analyzes the significance of food to religious formation, elucidating the ways ancient and medieval scholars use food restrictions to think about the "other." Freidenreich illuminates the subtly different ways Jews, Christians, and Muslims perceive themselves, and he demonstrates how these distinctive self-conceptions shape ideas about religious...

The Jew As Outsider
ISBN: 9780932270092 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the aftermath of 9/11, with its attendant rise in global anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, this classic book emerges, helping to explain the marginality of the Jewish people in a new and exciting way: that marginality need not be a negative attribute; that it can be "creative" and that it is through this "creative paranoia" that the Jews have not only survived throughout the centuries, but have imaginatively contributed to the culture and fabric of the societies in which they have dwelt.

The Veil of Moses: Jewish Themes in Russian Literature of the Romantic Era
ISBN: 9789004235014 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Veil of Moses describes the creation of Russian romantic literary stereotypes which shaped the opinion of the Russian public on the Jews. These stereotypes in turn generated long-lasting habits of dealing with Jews and Jewish themes in Russian culture and politics. This volume introduces a formidable corpus of previously neglected evidence into the scholarship, namely, journalism and second- and third-rank prose. Journalism, influenced by more humane Western attitudes, reflected changes and presented a more objective picture of the Jews. It was the romantic prose, full of mythology...

Kvetching and Shpritzing: Jewish Humor in American Popular Culture
ISBN: 9780786494828 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jewish humor, with its rational skepticism and cutting social criticism, permeates American popular culture. Scholars of humor--from Sigmund Freud to Woody Allen--have studied the essence of the Jewish joke, at once a defense mechanism against a hostile world and a means of cultural affirmation.
Where did this wit originate? Why do Jewish humorists work at the margins of so many diverse cultures? What accounts for the longevity of the Jewish joke? Do oppressed people, as African American author Ralph Ellison suggested, slip their yoke when they change the joke? Citing examples from...
