The Discourse of Business Negotiation (Studies in Anthropological Linguistics, 8)

Rabbi Edwin Goldberg's new book Heads and Tales: Stories from the Sages to Enlighten our Minds brings age-old tales to life once more. Designed as an introduction to the art of reading rabbinic literature, Heads and Tales opens the door to the creative genius of the rabbis of long ago. 
Using this carefully selected collection of stories, Heads and Tales will help instill a love of Jewish stories, while also helping students gain the skills needed to be critical readers of these traditional stories. In addition, these stories demonstrate that the issues that concerned our ancestors in past generations are similar or are the same as those that concern us today. The tales found in the book, while they may have been written in years gone by, remain most relevant. 
-Perfect introduction to traditional text study -Texts provided in both Hebrew and English 
-Discussion questions included 
-Insightful commentary on each story 
-Well-suited for high school or adult education classes

Formerly a URJ Press title.Many people see the Talmud as nothing more than a dry compendium of legal opinions, but in fact the Talmud represents a rich repository of literature encompassing all aspects of the world of the great Rabbinic Sages. Rabbi Edwin Goldberg, author of Swords and Plowshares: Jewish Views of War and Peace and Heads and Tales: Stories of the Sages to Enlighten Our Minds, presents a window into this world in Love Tales from the Talmud. Featuring original texts, translations, commentary, and study questions, this accessible introduction to the study of Rabbinic literature explores classic Jewish wisdom on love and relationships.

Formerly a URJ Press title.More than the centerpiece of Purim celebrations, the book of Esther is unique in the biblical canon, and raises as many questions as it answers. A rich source for text study, at Purim and throughout the year, this combination of traditional rabbinic views and contemporary criticism creates a readable and relevant commentary.

Formerly a URJ Press title. Yoga Shalom is a unique worship experience that brings together body, mind, and spirit for an extraordinary prayer service. Combining the two powerful spiritual disciplines of Jewish worship and yoga practice, Yoga Shalom leads to deeper understandings of both, or as author Lisa Levine writes of her initial forays into yoga as a cantorial student, I learned to be more present in my prayers and meditations so I could better pray with and on behalf of my congregation. Yoga Shalom can be adapted and the postures customized for your congregation, studio, or private practice, and can be done in the community of a class or in the privacy of your own home. As an alternative to the traditional prayer service, Yoga Shalom can engage and unite your professional staff, lay leadership, and community. Whether you have no yoga experience or have been practicing for years, and regardless of your age or abilities, Yoga Shalom will help you relax your body, calm your mind, and nurture your spirit. Features: Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions Dozens of photographs Advanced, gentle, and chair modifications for each posture sequence 17-track CD to accompany your practice, featuring the music of well-known Jewish artists Craig Taubman, Jeff Klepper, Lisa Levine, and many more Full-length DVD of the complete practice
