Judaism: development and life

Dickenson

"Whatever happened to the Jews at a given moment in history helped shape their outlook, their prayers and practices, their philosophy and hopes. The discussion of doctrines and movements, of observances and practices, is introduced at the historical point in the narrative when they reached their fullest expression and concreteness."

Rabbi Leo Trepp, once again, demonstrates his erudition, humor, warmth, and love of Judaism in this wholly revised and updated edition of his classic text.
Not so much a history of the Jews as a history of the Jewish experience, this is a must-have book for anyone wishing to understand modern Judaism.
This comprehensive work includes prayers and practices, values and traditions, ideas and hopes, culture, faith, and great moments in Jewish history. Rabbi Trepp provides a masterful overview of Judaism that is at once historical and personal.
The first of the book's two parts, "Torah and History," provides historical insight and perspective. It takes the reader from biblical origins through post-biblical history and on to the development of the main branches of world Jewry. It presents as well the dynamics of American Jewry, the Holocaust, and the rebirth of Israel.
In the second part of the book, "Torah, Mitzvot, and Jewish Thought," Rabbi Trepp presents the personal aspects of Judaism and Jewish life. He explores the many diverse and rich approaches to contemporary religious study, worship, and community service. These chapters examine the celebration of holidays and the observance of life-cycle events. Rabbi Trepp also includes chapters on Jewish mysticism, philosophy, and the scholarly study of Jewish texts.
Eight maps and 140 illustrations enhance Rabbi Trepp's vivid and lively dialogue.
Long regarded as the most comprehensive one-volume history of Jewish civilization,¬†A History of the Jewish Experience¬†is now more valuable than ever--an essential part of every Jewish library or home collection.
Ideal for adult study, college courses, and post-confirmation and high school classes.

Eternal Faith, Eternal People; a Journey Into Judaism

Hassell Street Press

Dieses Buch wendet sich einem Thema von wachsendem Interesse unter Nichtjuden wie Juden zu. Es richtet sich an den grossen Kreis der Leserinnen und Leser, die konkrete Antworten auf Fragen suchen wie: Konnen Nichtjuden uberhaupt Juden werden? Wie geschieht dies? Welcher Rang wird den Konvertiten im Judentum zuerkannt? Gleichzeitig versteht es sich als Leitfaden fur die wachsende Zahl von Menschen, die sich dem Judentum anzuschliessen beabsichtigen. Im ersten Teil der Darstellung wird die historische Entwicklung nachgezeichnet, von der biblischen bis zur neuesten Zeit. Zeigt sich das Judentum in der Antike aufnahmebereit, sieht es sich in der Folgezeit unter dem Druck einer machtiger werdenden Kirche zunehmend gezwungen, Zuruckhaltung zu uben. Im zweiten Teil werden die verschiedenen Gruppierungen und Aufnahmebedingungen innerhalb der religiosen Richtungen des Judentums behandelt, ferner die Gewissensfragen, denen sich der Kandidat zu stellen hat. Erlebnisberichte von Juden aus freier Wahl im dritten Teil zeigen, wie Ubertritte in der Praxis gehandhabt und erfahren werden.
