In Out of the Sky, Matti Friedman unravels one of the strangest episodes of World War II: In 1944, a team of young women and men who had escaped the Holocaust made the inconceivable choice to parachute back into Nazi-occupied Europe under the cover of a British military operation.

From the author of The Builder’s Stone and Guardian Angel comes a unique guide to help diaspora Jews respond to global assault against the Jewish world. Since the Hamas-led atrocities in Israel on October 7, 2023, the Jewish world has been subjected to an unprecedented international onslaught. Israel has been portrayed as the most evil nation in the world through defamatory lies, and as a result Jews across the West have been targeted by murderous attacks, vilification, and social ostracism. Such Jews have been profoundly destabilized by this tsunami of hatred and baffling irrationality, ...

No Jewish thinker has had a more significant impact on Jewish religious thought than Moses Maimonides (1138–1204). A medieval philosopher whose vision covered an extensive range, he created a method of mediating between revelation and reason that laid the groundwork for a rational, philosophically sophisticated Judaism. He also provided an approach to biblical interpretation and philosophy that remains relevant for people of all faiths who follow a religion based on sacred text and oral interpretation.

World War II began at Hollywood and Vine. From the moment Hitler took power in Germany in 1933, there was no American city he wanted to rule more than Los Angeles. Control the moviemaking capital of the world and Hitler could control the message that came out of it: As clear as black and white...

In Jewish Scripture—Christianity's foundation—God's presence is everywhere: in nature, in history, and in the range of human experience. Yet the Torah, Maimonides, and 4,000 years of Jewish tradition all agree on one thing: that God is beyond any form of human comprehension. How, then can Judaism be so crowded with descriptions and images of God? And what can they mean to the ways Christians understand their own faith?

Advancing to higher levels of ritual magic with purpose and power requires an exaltation of consciousness-a spiritual transformation that can serve as an antitode to the seeming banality of modern life. Based on Kabbalistic techniques, the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and an Hermetic tradition spanning nearly two thousand years, this innovative new work introduces the history of the Golden Dawn and its mythology, the Tree of Life, Deities, demons, rules for practicing magic, and components of effective ritual.

O ataque terrorista cometido contra israelenses no dia 7 de outubro de 2023 entrou para a história como o pior ato de violência contra os judeus desde o Holocausto. No dia seguinte, em vez de condenação total do ato, o mundo testemunhou uma prova da desordem moral do Ocidente no século XXI: nas universidades, nas ruas e na imprensa, as pessoas tomaram partido não dos judeus, mas de seus assassinos. Como isso aconteceu? Por que tantos membros das elites educadas deram de ombros diante do pior pogrom antissemita em quase 80 anos? Por que “antifascistas” se aproximaram dos fascistas do Hamas?

If You Confess Jesus is Lord and Believe God Raised Him from the Dead, You Shall Be Saved: The Eternal Passover: Omer is a powerful lyric book drawn from a worship album that traces one of the Bible’s greatest redemptive journeys: from slavery in Egypt to the blood of the Passover lamb, from the cross and silent Sabbath to the resurrection morning of Firstfruits.

Beginning with Israel’s bondage, Yahuwah’s hearing of ...

Dear reader, I invite you to begin this journey into Shoshan Sodot with an open mind and an open heart. It does not matter if you know a great deal about Kabbalah or truly little.

Simply take your time, pause when needed, and return to those passages calmly. Deep ideas are not always meant to be understood all at once. Sometimes they need to be absorbed slowly. Try also to enjoy the beauty of these teachings. Let yourself notice the ...

Today, affection for the Jewish people based on Romans 11 is thought to be an error rooted in the Post-war Consensus or Dispensationalism. But in this book Doug Wilson has assembled quotes from countless Reformed teachers, many untethered from the 20th century and its Left Behind series, each writing about what they believe the Bible really teaches about Romans 11. We must reject the mistakes made in 20th century theology. But we must not throw out our heritage as we do so.

They were the power behind the Temple—the elite few who controlled worship, shaped doctrine, and stood at the intersection of religion and politics in ancient Judea. And yet, despite their influence, most people today barely recognize their name. The Sadducees for Beginners brings this forgotten group into sharp focus, revealing a story of authority, conflict, and sudden disappearance that reshaped the course of religious history. This is not a distant, abstract subject. It is a gripping account of how belief, power, and survival collided in one of the most pivotal eras of the ancient ...

You have read the Psalms before. But have you understood them? Psalms 21 to 40 contain some of the most quoted and most misunderstood passages in the entire Bible. The psalm Jesus quoted from the cross. The psalm written by an old man who has watched long enough to know exactly how the story ends. The psalm for the person who has run out of words and has nothing left but a groan. And the psalm where the Son of God announces his own arrival in the middle of a personal testimony about being pulled from a pit. H.K. Holland takes these twenty psalms apart verse by verse and puts them back ...

However, after exposure to the wider world, he abandoned the faith of his youth.

Inside this book, you will ...

Shoshan Sodot, “La Rosa de los Misterios”, pertenece a esa estirpe singular de obras que no pueden ser reducidas a un tratado, a un comentario ni a una simple compilación de ideas, porque su espesor proviene de otra parte, brota de la manera en que enseña a pensar el texto sagrado, la historia, el alma y el mundo, como regiones comunicadas entre sí por una lógica de correspondencias, velos y revelaciones. Llamarlo “Rosa” no es un adorno retórico, porque la rosa es, dentro de este horizonte, una imagen exacta de la verdad espiritual cuando todavía no ha sido violentada por la ...

Most people think they know Exodus. They remember the plagues, the burning bush, the divided sea, and the Ten Commandments. What they usually miss is what happens after the escape. Exodus Explained for Normal People is not a book about miracles. It is a book about what happens when a people lose the system that controlled their lives and have to learn how to function without it. The Israelites leave Egypt in a single night. Learning how to live outside of it takes much longer. This retelling follows the story step by step, removing the confusion of the original text while preserving its ...

In the weeks before Hanukkah, Rifka Katz makes her way to her favorite yarn shop and selects what she always selects: Peaches and Crème cotton in National Blue and White. The colors of the Israeli flag. The colors her grandmother Perl Katz carried out of Poland when she had almost nothing else. Round by round, stitch by stitch, Rifka crochets three potholders for her three daughters, the same pattern passed down through three generations of women who understood that small things add up. When her grandson Daniel asks why the flag is blue and white, Rifka finds herself reaching back through ...

Passover from the Inside: Discover the Jewish Story Behind the Bible’s Most Powerful Night You can't fully understand the Jewish people from the outside.

Written by Shira Schechter — Jewish educator, Bible scholar, and author of Before the King — this book guides you through the complete Passover experience: ...

Tanya, "It Was Taught," is one of the most powerful and potentially transformative books of Jewish wisdom. Written in 1797 by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad Hasidism, Tanya sets forth the fundamentals of Jewish spirituality and mysticism. While a focus of daily study by tens of thousands of Hasidic Jews, Tanya is little known outside the world of Jewish mysticism. Until now, its kabbalistic terms and esoteric language have made this essential text of Jewish spirituality inaccessible to most listeners.

To understand the spiritual landscape of the ancient world and the foundations of apocalyptic thought, one must look to the Book of Enoch; a manuscript that stands as a colossal bridge between the Genesis patriarchs and the New Testament apostles. Though it resides outside the modern Western Biblical canon, its influence is woven into the very fabric of Judeo-Christian theology.
