"The Oxford Dictionary of the Jewish Religion has been the go-to resource for students, scholars, and researchers in Judaic Studies since its 1997 publication. Now, The Oxford Dictionary of the Jewish Religion, Second Edition focuses on recent and changing rituals in the Jewish community that have come to the fore since the 1997 publication of the first edition, including the growing trend of baby-naming ceremonies and the founding of gay/lesbian synagogues. Under the editorship of Adele Berlin, nearly 200 internationally renowned scholars have created a new edition that incorporates updated bibliographies, biographies of 20th-century individuals who have shaped the recent thought and history of Judaism, and an index with alternate spellings of Hebrew terms. Entries from the previous edition have been be revised, new entries commissioned, and cross-references added, all to increase ease of navigation research." -- Provided by publisher.

In Poland and elsewhere there has been a noticeable increase of interest in various aspects of the Polish-Jewish past which can be explained, the author argues, in terms of a broader intellectual need to explore the "blank spots" of Poland's national history. This quest begins and ends with Polish anti-Semitism and the Shoah, during which most of Europe's Jews were annihilated on Polish soil, but also focuses on the events of 1946-1968, the years of pogroms, anti-Semitic campaigns, and mass emigration of the Jews from Poland. All these became main issues of public reflection in Poland after a silence for almost forty years and led to the widespread view that Polish-Jewish relations are irredeemably poisoned by anti-Semitism. If this is the case, how is it possible then, the author asks, that Jews still play an important role in the cultural expressions and the consciousness of the Polish people? To find an answer, she explored Polish-Jewish relations in a small Galacian town from the early 19th century to the end of World War II. Detailed analysis of archival materials as well as interviews with Polish inhabitants of this town and Jewish survivors living elsewhere reveal a pattern of Polish-Jewish interdependence that has led to a far more complex picture than is generally assumed.

Jews have long employed a rich, intricate, image-filled Hebrew vocabulary to express both their deepest beliefs and the specific details of their daily religious lives. The Language of Judaism is a lively and unique exposition of that vocabulary's most central terms and concepts. Responding to the news of today's non-Hebrew speakers, Rabbi Glustrom provides the terms in Hebrew, notes their English transliterations, and supplies the closest translations available. He then discusses the deeper meaning and significance of the terms, examining how they relate to various aspects of Jewish life. The Language of Judaism is exciting and unique for a variety of reasons. Certain it reveals the meaning of many terms and concepts that are vital to an understanding of Judaism. But more important, Rabbi Glustrom's vast knowledge of the material allows him to present each term in the precise context required to allow even beginners to understand it fully. Concepts from Mitzvah to Midrash, Teshuvah to Tanakh, Kol Nidre to Kibbutz come alive as Rabbi Glustrom explains their origins, histories, and derivations. The Language of Judaism is, on one level, a dictionary of terms. On another level, it is a complete exposition of the context and significance of those terms. But, when read at its highest level, The Language of Judaism is an examination and discussion of Jewish life itself.

Many Christians believe and have been taught that the bride of Christ is the church, and this presupposition is widely held by scholars, ministers, and laity alike as though it were a biblical precept. Yet this view actually owes its origins to pagan heresy and mysticism that infiltrated the church over the centuries. In fact, the scriptures tell us who Jesus will marryand it is neither the Christian church nor Israel. Shekinah Unveiled examines and irrevocably dismantles the ages-old traditions that maintain that the church is the bride of Christ and that Israel was Yahwehs wife. Author and theologian John Whitman proves, from scripture, who the true bride of Christ and the wives of Yahweh are, and he explains why it matters to know the identity of the bride of Christ. Knowledge of the true identity of the bride of Christ affects multiple core doctrines of faiththe imago Dei, marriage, sexuality and the family, sin, Christology, ecclesiology, eschatology, judgment, bridal theology, and theology proper. And because the latter is itself the bedrock upon which not only systematic theology but each of these other attendant doctrines are founded, the very heart of Christianity is affected by knowing the identity of Christs bride.
