KIRKEGÅRDEN I PRAG er en fortælling fra 1800 om et Europa i oprør; en fortælling om et Europa, der søger en syndebuk.Udadtil er Simone Simonini antikvitetshandler i Paris. Men bag den stilfærdige facade gemmer sig en person, som forfalsker adskillige breve og andre dokumenter. Ét af antikvitetshandlerens dokumenter skal vise sig at være fatalt: Zions Vises Protokoller. Protokollerne foregiver at beskrive en jødisk pagt om verdensherredømme indgået på en kirkegård i Prag. Simoninis forfalskninger skal komme til at ændre historiens gang. 

Indeholder fortolkninger af Davids Salme 1-72

I jødisk tradition hedder det, at mennesket dør to gange. En gang, når hjertet holder op med at slå og hjernens synapser ikke længere sender indtryk gennem nervebanerne, og så igen, når den dødes navn siges, tænkes eller læses for sidste gang. Først da er den døde forsvundet, slettet fra det jordiske liv.Da Simon Stranger finder ud af at hans jødiske kones familie en tid boede i et hus som tidligere havde tilhørt en af Norges mest frygtede nazibødler, Henry Rinnan, beslutter han sig for at gå på jagt i historien for at genfortælle både de døde og de levendes liv, så eftertiden kan blive ved med at sige deres navne. Det bliver til en medrivende fortælling om Komissar-familien, om den berygtede Rinnan-bande, om ydmygelse og overlevelse, sammenhold og slægt og de fortællinger, vi giver videre til kommende generationer. "Leksikon om lys og mørke" blev Simon Strangers store gennembrud. Romanen er solgt til udgivelse over hele verden og til filmatisering, og sikrede ham blandt andet den norske boghandlerpris.

A compelling selection of Jonathan Sacks' writing and speeches with a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales

This Very Short Introduction looks at the importance accorded to the Bible by different communities and cultures and attempts to explain why it has generated such a rich variety of uses and interpretations. It explores how the Bible was written, the development of the canon, the role of Biblical criticism, the appropriation of the Bible in high and popular culture, and its use for political ends.

Evie and Lottie are twin sisters, but they couldn't be more different. What they do have in common is their Jewishness - even though the family isn't religious. When their mother gets a high-profile job and is targeted by antisemitic trolls on social media, the girls brush it off at first - but then the threats start getting uglier. . .

Internationally acclaimed thought-leader Jonathan Sacks demonstrates how we can build a strong collective morality for the modern era.

2018 Reprint of 1880 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. The full title of this work is: The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, Or, Moses' Magical Spirit-Art: Known as the Wonderful Arts of the Old Wise Hebrews, Taken from the Mosaic Books of the Cabala and the Talmud, For the Good Of Mankind. It is a magical text allegedly written by Moses and passed down as hidden (or lost) books of the Christian Old Testament. A grimoire, a text of magical incantations and seals, it purports to instruct the reader in the spells used to create the miracles portrayed in the Bible. While versions of The Sixth and Seventh Books were likely passed around German immigrant communities from the late 18th century, the 1849 Leipzig copy was followed by a New York printing, in German, in 1865, and an English translation in 1880. The growth of inexpensive paperback publication in the 19th century, like those of Chicago occult publisher L. W. de Laurence, helped the work gain popularity outside German communities. The boom in inexpensive publishing, and the interest in Spiritualism helped the work gain popularity in the African American population of the southern United States, and from there, the Anglophone parts of the Caribbean. There it became one of the founding works of the Rastafari movement of the early 20th century.

A biography of Israel's most iconic and controversial statesman.

One of the most important scholars of our century, Gershom Scholem (1897-1982) opened up a once esoteric world of Jewish mysticism, the Kabbalah, to concerned students of religion. The Kabbalah is a rich tradition of repeated attempts to achieve and portray direct experiences of God: its twelfth-and thirteenth-century beginnings in southern France and Spain are probed in Origins of the Kabbalah, a work crucial in Scholem's oeuvre. The book is a contribution not only to the history of Jewish medieval mysticism but also to the study of medieval mysticism in general and will be of interest to historians and psychologists, as well as to students of the history of religion.

This book builds upon my previous work, A People That Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy (MacDonald 1994/2002; hereafter PTSDA). While PTSDA focused on developing a theory of Judaism within an evolutionary framework, the present volume focuses on the phenomenon of anti-Semitism. Judaism and anti-Semitism fairly cry out for an evolutionary interpretation. Anti-Semitism has been a very robust tendency over a very long period of human history and in a wide range of societies with different forms of government, different economic systems, and different dominant religious ideologies. Many anti-Semitic episodes, such as the Iberian inquisitions and the Nazi holocaust, have been characterized by extraordinary intra-societal violence. Moreover, anti-Semitism has sometimes been characterized by a very overt, self-conscious racialism...a phenomenon that immediately suggests the relevance of evolutionary theory.The basic thesis of this book can be summarized by the proposition that Judaism must be conceptualized as a group strategy characterized by cultural and genetic segregation from gentile societies combined with resource competition and conflicts of interest with segments of gentile societies. This cultural and genetic separatism combined with resource competition and other conflicts of interest tend to result in division and hatred within the society.Nevertheless, as Leslie White (1966, 3) wrote many years ago in his discussion of the Boasian school of anthropology as a politically inspired cult, "One who follows procedures such as these incurs the risk of being accused of indulging in non-scholarly, personal attacks upon whom he discusses. Such a charge is, in fact, expectable and completely in keeping with the thesis of this essay. We wish to state that no personal attacks are intended."No personal or ethnic attacks are intended here, either. Nevertheless, the charge that this is an anti-Semitic book is, to use White's phrase, expectable and completely in keeping with the thesis of this essay. A major theme of this volume, found especially in Chapters 6 and 7, is that intellectual defenses of Judaism and of Jewish theories of anti-Semitism have throughout its history played a critical role in maintaining Judaism as a group evolutionary strategy. Parts of the book read as a sort of extended discourse on the role of Jewish self-interest, deception, and self-deception in the areas of Jewish historiography, Jewish personal identity, and Jewish conceptualizations of their ingroup and its relations with outgroups. This is therefore first and foremost a book that confidently predicts its own irrelevance to those about whom it is written.MacDonald, K. B.

First published in 2004, The Jewish Study Bible was hailed as a landmark.

This book is designed to cover one year's work in Hebrew leading up to a full understanding of the language. It has been used by the author with his students for many years and the published text is the result of testing and refining over these years. Every attempt has been made to make the grammar clear and simple. For example, all Hebrew words are transliterated, as well as being given in the original for the first three-quarters of the book. The grammatical discussion is made as unsophisticated as possible for it is the author's intention that this book should also be of use to those who study Hebrew without a teacher.

Begyndelser – det er, hvad Første Mosebog handler om: Verdens, menneskets og folkeslagenes begyndelse. Skurke og fromme folk imellem hinanden. Nogle af dem begge dele på én gang. Fortællingerne er indgangsportalen til hele resten af Bibelen. Sørens Holsts kommentar til Første Mosebog dykker ind i, hvad de berømte fortællinger i Bibelens allerførste bog dybest set handler om. Det er en velskrevet indføring i Bibelens univers for både fag- og lægfolk – og bogen er også velegnet til brug for en studiekreds. Sidste kapitel er viet til et indblik i nogle af de mange måder, fortællingerne lever videre i litteratur, musik og billedkunst. Søren Holst (f. 1963) er ph.d. i Det Gamle Testamente og har som lektor undervist i mange år på Københavns Universitet. Han har skrevet bøger, deltaget i oversættelsen af Bibelen 2020 og i 2021 modtaget Bibelselskabets Pris.
