Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this exciting addition to Bloomsbury's Short Histories series, Steven Leonard Jacobs critically yet concisely examines the history of Judaism and the Jewish people, drawing from maps, photographs and archives to illuminate the history of one of the world's oldest religions.Beginning by establishing a definition of Judaism, Jacobs explores the historiography of the Jewish people, in addition to the role of memory in charting history. Including a comprehensive breakdown of the history of Judaism, the author splits discussion into defined eras, taking readers from the beginnings of Judaism, to the split between Judah in the South and Israel in the North, the united Monarchy, and the Age of the Prophets. Exploring the social structures and institutions of ancient Israel, Jacobs incorporates key themes such as civic life, economics, and art - before analysing the interactions of Judaism with Romanism and Hellenism. Moving through the Middle Ages and Pre-Modernity, and acknowledging the role of key figures such as Yosef Karo and Moses Mendelssohn, this book brings the narrative up to the present day, and uncovers the foundations of Judaism in modernity.Jacobs' authoritative yet engaging prose shines through each of the thirteen chapters, which seamlessly intertwine to produce a thorough yet concise examination of the history of Judaism and Jewish peoples.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In his graceful and lucid translation and thoroughgoing exhaustive annotations, Steven Jacobs renders to the English language readers a great service. It is a work for scholars and laity alike. To a broad spectrum of American Jewry - and not just to the scholar - it is now an exhilarating experience to read, in translation as is necessary, the verses of a modern Hebrew poet and to know that this work comes from his own mind and heart and from the majestic teachings of the tradition. But Jacobs does more than that. For lovers of Bialik, he locates the source of modern metaphor in the core of Scriptures, Talmud, and liturgy - the sacred texts of our people. No longer must the reader repair every other moment to a concordance to make the connection. For lovers of the traditional text, Jacobs' annotations show how the ancient sources can lend themselves to a variety of meanings and to multiple levels of understanding, just as they did in the heart of a sensitive poet. And finally, to countless others, Jacobs herewith introduces Bialik for the first time and simultaneously conveys to them a sense of the richness and vastness of our traditional texts. All this is no small achievement. I have the feeling that Bialik - comfortable in his place in the other world - is composing a poem of gratitude to Steven Jacobs.'

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - With an overview essay, timeline, reference entries, and annotated bibliography, this resource is a concise, one-stop reference on antisemitism in today's society.Stretching back to biblical times, antisemitism is perhaps the world's oldest hatred of a group. It has manifested itself around the world, sometimes taking the form of superficially innocent jokes and at other times promoting such tragedies as the Holocaust. Far from disappeared, its continued existence in today's society is evidenced by vandalism of Jewish cemeteries and shootings at synagogues. This book explores the causes and consequences of contemporary antisemitism, placing this form of hatred in its historical, political, and social contexts.An overview essay surveys the background and significance of antisemitism and provides historical context for discussions of contemporary topics. A timeline highlights key events related to antisemitism. Some 50 alphabetically arranged reference entries provide objective, fundamental information about people, events, and other topics related to antisemitism. These entries cite works for further reading and provide cross-references to related topics. An annotated bibliography cites and evaluates some of the most important resources on antisemitism suitable for student research.…
