A New Psalm is a commentary and guide to reading the Book of Psalms as literature. After an introduction, each psalm is interpreted in light of biblical scholarship, ancient and modern, with an emphasis on the poetic presentation. The commentary elucidates the spiritual quests, insights, and struggles of generations of men and women confronting their world and their place in that world, with no subject, be it faith or nonbelief, good or evil, hope or despair, God or man, the individual or the society, the nation or the nations, left unexplored. Sophisticated poets who knew how to speak to both their peers and the masses, the psalmists used words creatively to allow their readers to search their own hearts. The words are ancient, but the questions are immediate and modern. The Psalms has contributed to the thinking and search of people across the millennia. It is truly poetry of the heart. In this commentary, modern research and insight allow the poems to sing once again. No other commentary brings a combination of classical and modern interpretations to the Book of Psalms, along with a real appreciation for the poetic skills of the poets and an acknowledgment of their own struggles and strivings. Uniquely identifying the literary techniques used by the psalmist, the author opens the psalms to the reader through an integrated appreciation of form and content. Read more

A devastating critique of the presumed theological basis of the Jewish social justice movement—the concept of healing the world.What is tikkun olam? This obscure Hebrew phrase means literally “healing the world,” and according to Jonathan Neumann, it is the master concept that rests at the core of Jewish left wing activism and its agenda of transformative change. Believers in this notion claim that the Bible asks for more than piety and moral behavior; Jews must also endeavor to make the world a better place.In a remarkably short time, this seemingly benign and wholesome notion has permeated Jewish teaching, preaching, scholarship and political engagement. There is no corner of modern Jewish life that has not been touched by it. This idea has led to overwhelming Jewish participation in the social justice movement, as such actions are believed to be biblically mandated.There's only one problem: the Bible says no such thing.In this lively theological polemic, Neumann shows how tikkun olam, an invention of the Jewish left, has diluted millennia of Jewish practice and belief into a vague feel-good religion of social justice. Neumann uses religious and political history to debunk this pernicious idea, and shows how the Bible was twisted by Jewish liberals to support a radical left-wing agenda.In To Heal the World?, Neumann explains how the Jewish Renewal movement aligned itself with the New Left of the 1960s, and redirected the perspective of the Jewish community toward liberalism and social justice. He exposes the key figures responsible for this effort, shows that it lacks any real biblical basis, and outlines the debilitating effect it has had on Judaism itself. Read more

The fascinating account of a former Rabbi about the effect of ancient religious laws on modern cultureIn the modern era, when equality, freedom, and happiness are man’s most important values, the harsh contrast with the ancient world of strict religious laws of Judaism, formed 1,500 years ago, is undeniable. This book is a must read for anyone who wishes to understand the religious concepts that presently control the lives of Orthodox Jews, and in some ways, the lives of secular Jews as well. Whether they respect religion, hate or fear it, secular Jews are often unaware that the problem is rooted in the religious worldview as such, and not in the character or habits of the people who live it. Some examples can be found in the now obsolete religious laws targeting anyone who is not observant: a permission to kill a secular Jew, a prohibition to save a non-Jewish life, a law that deems any non-Jew an untrustworthy liar, and many more. Yaron Yadan is a special person. He is an expert on Judaism, having served as a Rabbi and the head of a Jewish religious seminar, and today he is a secular Jew who continues to learn and investigate the world he left behind. Through this unique book, Yadan opens for his readers a vista into the religious language and worldview and provides a basis of knowledge for anyone disturbed by questions of identity, religion, and nationality.

David Novak, one of the most distinguished Jewish theologians in the world, offers a new interpretation of how the Jewish people and the Jewish tradition talk about God. What does the Torah say about God? How does the God of the Torah talk about Godself? And how does the God of the Torah talk about human beings? The book traces the history and theology of God-talk in Judaism, and how it remains relevant, now more than ever, and speaks directly to contemporary issues such as human rights. Read more

In Seeking the Hiding God, Arnold Eisen delves into the profound mystery of divine hiddenness, presenting a compelling exploration of how this central theological dilemma resonates within modern Jewish life. Through rigorous analysis and heartfelt reflection, Eisen tackles the poignant questions that arise when God seems absent, drawing on classical Jewish texts and contemporary thought. His insightful examination reveals how these ancient narratives continue to influence and illuminate the struggles and commitments of faith in today's world.With clarity and depth, Eisen challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between divine presence and human responsibility. He argues passionately for a dynamic engagement with theology, where communal rituals, personal experiences, and reasoned debate converge to shape a vibrant, living faith. This book is an essential read for anyone grappling with the complexities of sustaining belief in an often seemingly indifferent world, offering a fresh perspective on enduring religious questions and the pursuit of spiritual authenticity.Advance Praise“An inspired work of constructive theology that will…capture the attention of lay and academic readers in both the Jewish and non-Jewish worlds…“The breadth of Jewish and non-Jewish sources…and his ability to weave them together so effortlessly is dazzling and leave the reader with a confidence that Eisen has fulfilled his goal of providing a profound and honest theological statement.”—Rabbi Dr. David Ellenson, z"l, Chancellor Emeritus of Hebrew Union College, author, Jewish Meaning in a World of Choice: Studies in Tradition and Modernity“Eisen demonstrates the ample rewards of grappling with God in light of our ethical sensibilities, lived experience, and community. In this intimate, learned reflection, Eisen invites contemporary Jews to wrestle with God anew.”—Dr. Mara Benjamin, Chair of Jewish studies at Mount Holyoke College, author, The Obligated Self“This generation’s preeminent scholar of contemporary Jewry, Arnold Eisen has devoted his career to studying the spiritual strivings within the Jewish soul.

In Christian Zionism in the Twenty-First Century authors Motti Inbari and Kirill Bumin draw on three original surveys conducted in 2018, 2020, and 2021 to explore the religious beliefs and foreign policy attitudes of evangelical and born-again Christians in the United States. They analyze the views of ordinary churchgoers and evangelical pastors to understand the religious, social, and political factors that lead the members of this religious community to support the State of Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Through rigorous quantitative analyses and careful textual study of ordinary evangelicals' written comments, Inbari and Bumin aim to rectify misconceptions about who evangelical and born-again Christians are, about their sympathies toward Israel, Jewish people, and Palestinians, and about the sources of their foreign policy attitudes toward the conflict. Inbari and Bumin demonstrate that a generational divide is emerging within the evangelical community, one that substantially impacts evangelicals' attitudes toward Israel. They also show that frequent church attendance and certain theological beliefs have a profound impact on the evangelicals' preference of Israel over the Palestinians. Throughout, the authors aim to add nuance to the discussion, showing that contemporary evangelical and born-again Christians' attitudes are much more diverse than many portrayals suggest. Read more

Healing the sick is one of the great things believers should be doing without struggles. Why? Because the power to do so is available for us to use..In Matthew 10:8, Jesus commands his disciples “[To] heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, [and] cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” .I want you to take note of 2 things from the above scripture.1. Jesus Commanded His disciples2. The healing power was freely given..As believers, you shouldn't be asked to heal people, you should and must do it. Healing the sick for believers is a must..JESUS DID NOT ASK US TO PRAY FOR THE SICK;He said we should heal the sick..He did not ask us to pray for the sick. Jesus commanded us to heal the sick. .Praying for the sick is scriptural (James 5: 14-15), especially for those in the church, but isn't it interesting that in the gospels and Acts no one did so? This tells us that we possess authority over sickness and diseases..I don’t have a problem with you praying when you meet a sick person, but after praying, you must exercise authority over the sickness because you are in-charge..Take note: when Jesus said in Mark 16:15-20; these signs we follow them that are believers,He authorized us to cast out devils and heal the sick; those are two of the signs. .But why is it that most believers don’t walk in that authority? The answer is simple; and it is found in Hosea 4:6 and John 8:32;Hosea 4:6a: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:.John 8:32: Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”.In this book, you will get the knowledge and discover the truth you need to walk in the healing power of God. You will get the know-how to effectively operate in the ministry of healing..I admonish you to read, understand and apply..You are blessed. Read more

Our world's eternal questions answered by the Kabbalah, modern physics and the astonishing resemblance between them.During the 1920s, the world was changed forever when a new theory in physics — quantum theory — was developed. To this very day, this theory enables us to predict the behavior of physical bodies and explains many natural phenomena.Decades later, Dr. Shemer Keydar embarked on the study of physics and found an amazing parallel between the theories he was learning and the principles of Kabbala and Hasidism. Principles such as the creation of the world from nothing, the unity found in nature, the development of mankind, and the power of the human intellect are all presented and illustrated through the light of quantum physics and Kabbalah.Dr. Shemer (Shmariahu) Keydar, a highly respected researcher and the author of numerous scientific papers, has developed his interest in the relationship between Judaism and modern physics over the last two decades, and now invites you to join him on this special journey.

In 1990 a document was discovered in Poland, according to which the Gaon of Vilna (1720 1797) stopped in Amsterdam on his way to Erez Israel. Research based on this astonishing find, detailed in this book, brought about a chain of dramatic discoveries that fundamentally altered our knowledge of the historic figure of the Gaon of Vilna. One such discovery reveals that the journey to Erez Israel transpired in the year 1778, three years prior to 1781 the year set as the end time by the kabbalists of that generation, including the Gaon of Vilna himself. This book demonstrates that the Gaon of Vilna traveled to Erez Israel in order to compose a new Shulh an arukh, a final halakhic code that would bring an end to halakhic disputes within the Jewish people. In this way he hoped to ensure the Messiah s arrival in the year 1781. Mysteriously, the Gaon of Vilna abandoned his dream, reporting that Heaven had prevented him. By following in the Gaon s footsteps, The Gaon of Vilna and His Messianic Vision uncovers the cause of his aborted journey and the revolutionary approach to redemption that the Gaon subsequently developed.

An examination of the remarkable penetrating mind of Moses Maimonides and to his rational eye-opening thoughts on many subjects. It includes ideas that are not incorporated in the usual books about this great philosopher because they are so different than the traditional thinking of the vast majority of people. It contrasts the notions of other Jewish thinkers, somewhat rational and others not rational at all. The reader will be surprised, if not shocked, to learn that a host of beliefs that are prevalent among the Jewish masses have no rational basis. This does not suggest that Judaism itself is irrational and absurd. Just the opposite. But many Jews have opted to believe the unreasonable and illogical conventional ideas what Maimonides would label non-Jewish sabian notions because they have not been acquainted with Maimonides correct rational alternatives and taken the time to reflect upon it.

Most people who live in San Diego County settle along the coastal corridor defined by the Interstate 5 freeway. In this book, the first volume of a projected three-volume adventure, author Donald H. Harrison finds at least one Jewish story at every exit from the Mexican border to Old Town San Diego. The stories help demonstrate his thesis that there is a “Jewish story everywhere.” You’ll be surprised at their variety. The next volume will take him to the San Diego County Fairgrounds and the third volume to the Orange County line. Photographer Ben Dishman joins Harrison on this unusual journey exploring interesting aspects of San Diego County’s Jewish heritage, history and personalities.**"Just as they did in Schlepping and Schmoozing Through San Diego County,' Harrison's undying curiosity and his relentless dedication to finding a Jewish story everywhere shine through once again in Schlepping and Schmoozing Along the Interstate 5. The San Diego area's de facto Jewish historian expands his geographic reach and delves even deeper into the region's little-known Jewish gems. And at long last, the I-5 can be known for something other than its notorious traffic!" — Jacob Kamaras, Editor and Publisher, San Diego Jewish World Read more
