It goes far beyond the limitations of conventional psychology, drawing its guidelines from the source of the true meaning of life. The model of Torah psychology presented in this book has been developed by the world-renowned Dr. Shalom Srebrenik, founder-director of Arachim. The richness of Dr. Srebrenik's own background, both as a trained scientist and as a dedicated Torah scholar, manifests itself in the clarity of his teachings on Torah-inspired mental health and emotional well-being. Dr. Judith Mishell, who wrote this work based on Dr. Srebrenik's teachings, is a prominent psychologist who has found in the Torah an enrichment of her own life and her ability to help patients. She writes with conviction, erudition, clarity and wit. Dr. Mishell brings superb credentials to the task of writing this important book. After completing graduate studies at Rutgers University, she served as director of psychological services at Douglas College and taught at Rutgers University Medical School. Today, in addition to her busy private practice in Los Angeles, she is on the research staff of the Department of Pediatrics at U.C.L.A. Medical School and is psychological consultant to Emek Hebrew Academy. She lectures widely and regularly, on both Jewish and psychological issues, all across the country. Beyond Your Ego has been much acclaimed by leading rabbanim and roshei yeshivah, who graciously permitted their glowing testimonials and approbations to accompany this seminal work. by Dr. Judith Mishell .

In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel, one of the most widely respected religious leaders of the twentieth century, introduced the influential idea of an 'architecture of holiness" that appears not in space but in time. Judaism, he argues, is a religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the materials things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that 'the Sabbaths are our great catherdrals.' .

Near Fine 1992 New Expanded Edition Cover bright, very monor wear, sm chips rubs Pages clean bright white tight <br></br> From the Back Cover: The concept of Mashiach, the anointed redeemer of Israel, and the Messianic era that he will bring about, is central in the teachings of Moses and the Prophets. R. Mosheh ben Maimon (Maimonides) incorporates it as one of the thirteen fundamental principles of the Jewish Faith. In his code of Jewish Law, Mishneh Torah, he devotes the last two chapters to the legal implications and conceptual considerations of this subject which affect Jewish life and belief. In numerous other writings, he and the great teachers before and after him explain many more details, so that the Jew, who must await Mashiach, will understand what this article of the faith is all about. This book compiles, in systematic order, the essential Halachic and conceptual teachings about Mashiach and the Messianic redemption from the Biblical, Talmudic-Midrashic and other authoritative sources.

Through his everyday encounters with family, friends, colleagues, and strangers, Kushner takes us deeply into our lives, finding flashes of spiritual insight in the process.

Washington, D.C.: Embassy of Israel, Office of Public Affairs, 1995. 24 pages Despite its Biblical association with milk and honey, Israel lacks a long- standing culinary heritage. Only a few years ago, Israelis even doubted the existence of their own authentic cuisine. Today, most people agree that there is a distinctive Israeli cuisine, though like many aspects of the society, it is uniquely multifaceted. It reflects the various communities in the country and their diverse geographical and cultural origins. The Israeli kitchen is home to the multitude of foods and recipes which have accompanied the Jewish people's return to the "Land of Milk and Honey." The order and content of meals in Israel differs from that of the United States. The principal meal of the day is generally served in Israel at noontime, when the children return home from school. Very few families follow the American pattern and have their large meal in the evening. The evening meal is usually a light one consisting generally of dairy products, salads and eggs. There are a number of Jewish dietary laws (Kashrut) stemming from the Bible which are integral to Israel's culinary heritage. The recipes were all tested and tasted in order to bring you the special flavor of Israel....have been careful to choose only "strictly kosher" recipes - meat and milk products have not been mixed. All recipes serve 4-6 unless noted. 1-31-06-1. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

New York: The Free Press, 1995. Near Fine 1995 1st printing Cover bright, minor shelfwear mainly to spinetips, back bottom edge chipped Pages clean bright tight Dust Jacket bright, minor shelfwear to edges, spinetips, few sm scuffs Book Description Shortly before releasing deadly sarin gas on the Tokyo subway in March 1995, the Aum Shinrikyo religious cult published a vicious 95-page antisemitic tract that declared war on its Jewish archenemy. The gassing of the Tokyo subway was the culmination of a century of Japanese theorizing about Jews, an important part of which has been antisemitic. In recent years, books blaming Jews for everything from the designs on Japanese currency to the 1995 Kobe earthquake have appeared, and some have sold millions of copies. What explains this virtual obsession with Jews in Japan--a country that "has" no Jews? In this highly original cultural and intellectual history, David G. Goodman and Masanori Miyazawa show that present-day Japanese attitudes toward Jews are the result of a process of accretion that began nearly 200 years ago. Skillfully tracing the historical development of Japanese images of Jews against the background of the development of modern Japanese culture, they describe how these images reflect the great themes of modern Japanese intellectual life. Spanning fields ranging from politics to poetry, the authors demonstrate how Japanese attitudes toward Jews have had real political and cultural consequences, culminating in the 1995 subway gassing and resonating into the twenty-first century..

During the war he subjected some 3000 twins, mostly young, to experiments of unspeakable horror. Only 160 of them were alive when the Russians liberated Auschwitz in 1945. The authors have interviewed several of the surviving twins and here present their stories, including details of their postwar lives. One especially disturbing aspect of the book is the fact that some of the victims remember Mengele as a charming father-substitute in whom they yearned to place their trust. There are glimpses of Mengele joking with the children, taking them on outings, hugging them. One survivor insists he was gentle; another flatly states that he "loved little children." Woven skillfully into the narrative is a formal and engrossing biography of Mengele himself, his family background, his wartime career, his escape to South America, his years in hiding. None of the surviving twins believes that the remains found in Brazil in 1985 are those of the death-camp doctor; according to the authors, they are certain that Mengele has succeeded in "tricking the world yet another time." An important addition to the literature of the Holocaust. Lagnado is a freelance writer, Dekel is the widow of an Auschwitz twin. Photos. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. .
