8vo, Paperback, xix, 188 pages, illustrated, 24 cm. The Passover and its rite are central in the history of Judaism and Christianity. Explaining how the Passover evening celebration, the seder, became one of the most popular Jewish rituals, Baruch M. Bokser shows how it was based on and transformed a biblical sacrificial meal. Bokser demonstrates the significance of the motif of Passover in ancient Judaism, indicating why Jews and Christians employed it to express hopes for redemption. And he also illuminates the process of historical development through the interaction of a traditional heritage with contemporary and outside cultural influences. This is a fascinating book which will add much to our understanding of Judaism and Christianity and of the nature of religion in a changing world. Baruch Bokser was ordained as arabbi at Jewish Theological Seminary and also received a Ph. D. In religious studies from Brown University. Beginning in 1974, he taught at the University of California at Berkeley, leaving in 1982 for Dropsie College in Philadelphia (now the Annenberg Research Institute for Judaic and Near Eastern Studies) . Then in 1986, Bokser returned to the Jewish Theological Seminary to join the faculty and where, at his early death at age 44 in 1990, hewas the director ofthe program in ancient Judaism. "Packs facts, analysis and insight into its relatively short 141 pages of text and footnotes. The hypothesis and argument are clearly spelled [out] and and then supported by detailed references to various Talmud and Mishnah sections which are reproduced as necessary. Although.reprinted in 2002, it is current and consistent with more recent works. I read the book in the weeks leading up to 2009 Passover holidays and found much in Dr. Bokser's work to work into the actual Seder and ignite the interest of those present. In essence, Dr. Bokser makes a very persuasive case that the Passover Seder, as molded in the Hagaddah, was one of the key pillars for the survival of Judaism after the catastrophic destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C. E. Certainly, he establishes that the basics of the Seder as we know it today with its emphasis on freedom, community and symbolic ritual owes its genesis to the Tanna and the Amora of the centuries following the destruction" (Jerome Hoffman, Amazon review)
8vo, br. ed. How did the levels of anti-Semitism in the 1930s compare to those of earlier decades? Did anti-Semitism vary in content and intensity across societies? In other words, were Germans more anti-Semitic than their European neighbors, and, if so, why? How does anti-Semitism differ from other forms of religious, racial, and ethnic prejudice? In this 2003 book, William I. Brustein offersa truly systematic comparative and empirical examination of anti-Semitism within Europe before the Holocaust. Brustein proposes that European anti-Semitism flowed from religious, racial, economic, and political roots, which became enflamed by economic distress, rising Jewish immigration, and socialist success. To support his arguments, Brustein draws upon a careful and extensive examination of the annual volumes of the American Jewish Year Books and more than 40 years of newspaper reportage from Europe s major dailies. The findings of this informative book offer a fresh perspective on the roots of society s longest hatred.

8vo, br. ed. Enclosure marshals bold new and persuasive arguments about the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians. Revealing the Israel-Palestine landscape primarily as one of enclosure, geographer Gary Fields sheds fresh light on Israel s actions. He places those actions in historical context in a broad analysis of power and landscapes across the modern world. Examining the process of land-grabbing in early modern England, colonial North America, and contemporary Palestine, Enclosure shows how patterns of exclusion and privatization have emerged across time and geography. That the same moral, legal, and cartographic arguments were copied by enclosers of land in very different historical environments challenges Israel s current rationale as being uniquely beleaguered

8vp, br. ed. pp.370. l maschile, il femminile e le relazioni erotiche che ne derivano costituiscono, fin dall'epoca più remota, anche un modo di pensare le coppie di elementi opposti o complementari e i rapporti che intercorrono fra essi. In Occidente, alla tradizione di pensiero che da Empedocle e dal "Simposio" di Platone giunge sino ai testi ermetici si affianca quella ebraica, e più specificamente cabbalistica. Il racconto della creazione androgina del primo essere umano e della sua scissione in Adamo ed Eva e l'interpretazione del "Cantico dei Cantici" sono i fondamenti da cui si sviluppano speculazioni che estendono la sfera del pensiero erotico fino ad abbracciare la dimensione intradivina, creando una molteplicità di coppie sessuate che si rifrangono specularmente a tutti i livelli della realtà. In questo libro Moshe Idel, lo studioso che ha ripreso e sviluppato in nuove direzioni le indagini di Scholem, si addentra in quella che egli definisce la "cultura dell'eros" peculiare dell'ebraismo, dove il rapporto sessuale non solo assolve a un comandamento fondamentale, ma ha una valenza cosmica, poiché esercitando un'azione teurgica sulla sfera superna favorisce di riflesso l'unione di Dio con la sua consorte, la "Shekhinah", ovvero la sua presenza immanente, e fa così discendere sul mondo la benedizione dell'influsso divino. L'eros rappresenta dunque una via d'accesso privilegiata tanto alla conoscenza teosofica quanto all'esperienza mistica.

8vo, Hardcover in dj, pp.624. . 16.46 x 24.18 cm. escribes how Judaism has been viewed as a dangerous force to be opposed, criticized, attacked and eliminated for centuries, from the Romans' destruction of the Second Temple, through the Inquisition and up to the Holocaust. Questions of how we are Jewish and, more critically, how and why we are not have been churning within the Western imagination throughout its history. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; Christians and Muslims of every period; even the secularists of modernity have used Judaism in constructing their visions of the world. The thrust of this tradition construes Judaism as an opposition, a danger often from within, to be criticized, attacked, and eliminated.
8vo, br. ed. pp.301. In the wake of modern genocide, we tend to think of violence against minorities as a sign of intolerance, or, even worse, a prelude to extermination. Violence in the Middle Ages, however, functioned differently, according to David Nirenberg. In this provocative book, he focuses on specific attacks against minorities in fourteenth-century France and the Crown of Aragon (Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia). He argues that these attacks--ranging from massacres to verbal assaults against Jews, Muslims, lepers, and prostitutes--were often perpetrated not by irrational masses laboring under inherited ideologies and prejudices, but by groups that manipulated and reshaped the available discourses on minorities. Nirenberg shows that their use of violence expressed complex beliefs about topics as diverse as divine history, kinship, sex, money, and disease, and that their actions were frequently contested by competing groups within their own society. Nirenberg's readings of archival and literary sources demonstrates how violence set the terms and limits of coexistence for medieval minorities. The particular and contingent nature of this coexistence is underscored by the book's juxtapositions--some systematic (for example, that of the Crown of Aragon with France, Jew with Muslim, medieval with modern), and some suggestive (such as African ritual rebellion with Catalan riots). Throughout, the book questions the applicability of dichotomies like tolerance versus intolerance to the Middle Ages, and suggests the limitations of those analyses that look for the origins of modern European persecutory violence in the medieval past.

8vo, br. ed. 288 pages. 8.98x5.91x0.87 inches.]Old Odessa, on the Black Sea, gained notoriety as a legendary city of Jewish gangsters and swindlers, a frontier boomtown mythologized for the adventurers, criminals, and merrymakers who flocked there to seek easy wealth and lead lives of debauchery and excess. Odessa is also famed for the brand of Jewish humor brought there in the 19th century from the shtetls of Eastern Europe and that flourished throughout Soviet times. From a broad historical perspective, Jarrod Tanny examines the hybrid Judeo-Russian culture that emerged in Odessa in the 19th century and persisted through the Soviet era and beyond. The book shows how the art of eminent Soviet-era figures such as Isaac Babel, Il'ia Ilf, Evgenii Petrov, and Leonid Utesov grew out of the Odessa Russian-Jewish culture into which they were born and which shaped their lives.
