Katz, Steven T. [Editor]

Interpreters of Judaism in the Late Twentieth Century (The B'Nai B'Rith History of the Jewish People)

Washington, B'nai B'rith Books, 1993. xv, 423 pp., Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Essays on Eliezer Berkovits, Eugene B. Borowitz, Emil Fackenheim, Irving (Yitzchak) Greenberg, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Louis Jacobs, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, Gershom Scholem, Elie Wiesel and many others.The past quarter century has been a dynamic phase in the evolution of Jewish scholarship. First-class minds of all denominations have continued to wrestle with both old and new issues confronting the Jewish People. The Holocaust, the continuing development of the American Jewish community, and the growth of the State of Israel have been the causes of ferment in Jewish thought. In the present collection of original essays, each examining the work of one of the foremost thinkers of our time, an attempt has been made to describe and analyze this diverse conceptual scene. Ranging over the wide geographical expanse of the Jewish People, from Israel, through Europe and on to America, this volume offers the most current, comprehensive, and sophisticated introduction available to contemporary Jewish thought.

Kirchhoff, Markus

Text zu Land: Palastina im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs 1865-1920 (Schriften des Simon-Dubnow-Instituts)

Göttingen, Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2005. 425 pp., Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. German language. How did Palestine become Palestine, that is, its own historical and political-geographic entity? This question is at the center of the study, which traces the course of the scientific discourse about the Holy Land as well as its front positions and competitions. The dominance of Protestant research into the biblical land induced Jewish authors to become active in Palestine research themselves. As a comparative view of the Science of Judaism in the 19th century shows, the modern historical-geographical perspective was preferred. The Zionist movement in particular adapted modern Palestine studies. Markus Kirchhoff describes these overlapping discourses as converging topographies and for the first time comprehensively deciphered them. ISBN: 9783525369838

The Jews of Yemen in the Nineteenth Century: A Portrait of a Messianic Community (Brill's Series in Jewish Studies)

Leiden, Brill, 1993. 209 pp. Very good copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Dustj. partly discolored. Jewish history Middle East. This book discusses the uniqueness of messianic aspirations of the nineteenth-century jews of Yemen, and displays the unprecedented role that these aspirations played in all sectors of their life. The study employs a diachronic approach; it presents the development of Jewish messianic expressions in Yemen and explains how Jewish messianic ideology and movements were receptive to eschatological notions and to messianic movements of Yemeni Muslims. Particular attention is devoted to the messianic movements of Shukr Kuhayl I (1861-65), Shukr Kuhayl II (1868-75), and Yosef 'Abdallah (1888-93). Other themes include Yemeni Jewish apocalyptic literature, messianic motifs in rabbinic writings and messianic expressions in the Yemeni Jewish waves of migration to Palestine (1881-1914).

KOLTUN-FROMM, KEN

Moses Hess and Modern Jewish Identity (Hardback)

Bloomington, Indiana University Press, 2001. 180 pp. Very good copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Judaica. Moses Hess, a fascinating 19th-century German Jewish intellectual figure, was at times religious and secular, traditional and modern, practical and theoretical, socialist and nationalist. Ken Koltun-Fromm's radical reinterpretation of his writings shows Hess as a Jew struggling with the meaning of conflicting commitments and impulses. Modern readers will realize that in Hess's life, as in their own, these commitments remain fragmented and torn. As contemporary Jews negotiate multiple, often contradictory allegiances in the modern world, Koltun-Fromm argues that Hess's struggle to unite conflicting traditions and frameworks of meaning offers intellectual and practical resources to re-examine the dilemmas of modern Jewish identity. Adopting Charles Taylor's philosophical theory of the self to uncover Hess's various commitments, Koltun-Fromm demonstrates that Hess offers a rich, textured, though deeply conflicted and torn account of the modern Jew. This groundbreaking study in conceptions of identity in modern Jewish texts is a vital contribution to the diverse fields of Jewish intellectual history, philosophy, Zionism, and religious studies.Jewish Literature and Culture. - quote by Alvin H.

Jewish Responses to Modernity: New Voices in America and Eastern Europe (Reappraisals Jewish Social History, 7)

New York, New York University Press, 1997. 232 pp., Fine copy. Paperback. Facing the dizzying array of changes commonly referred to as modernity, Jews in 19th-century Eastern Europe and early 20th-century America reflected the crises and opportunities of the modern world most eloquently in their speech, culture, and literature. Relying on those spoken and written words as eyewitnesses, Eli Lederhendler illustrates how the self- perceptions of Jews evolved, both in the Old World and among immigrants to America.
