Louis Jacobs's quest for a meaningful theology can still provide a powerful model for contemporary religious seekers, especially those for whom the certainty of unquestionable religious truth claims is an issue. For those seeking alternative models, a reconsideration of Jacobs's theology offers valuable tools.
This is the first comprehensive academic study of the Jewish liturgy in over a century. It integrates material from biblical literature, Second Temple literature, rabbinic literature, early Christian literature, the Cairo Genizah, classical piyut, and medieval manuscripts and commentary, and combines them with modern philological, literary, and historical research.
Leon Kellner, a lower-middle-class Orthodox Jew from the province of Galicia, rose to become part of the intellectual and cultural elite of imperial Austria. His is a thoroughly Habsburg Jewish story, spanning east and west and shaped by the empire's history, politics, and culture. That world has long been destroyed, but this biography recovers at least part of what was lost.
Contemporary colour photographs are sensitively and perceptively contextualized to show Galicia's centuries-old Jewish heritage, how it was destroyed, and how it is being memorialized.
This book investigates the idea of a distinct 'Jewish contribution to civilization' as it has been understood from the seventeenth century to the present. Offering a broad spectrum of academic opinion, it explores the role that the concept has played in Jewish self-definition and how it has influenced the history of the Jews and of others. It also considers the centrality of the concept in modern Jewish culture and for modern Jewish studies.
The first account of the experience of Viennese Jewry during the First World War, exploring the wartime crises of Jewish ideology and identity.
The years 950-1200 have often been called the Golden Age of the Jews in Spain. During this period, the Jews reached a peak of achievement in all aspects of their life--political, spiritual and cultural. They produced great works of literature and philosophy; their poetry represented a peak of literary achievement unparalleled in Hebrew until the 20th century.
