Slideshow transcript

Slide 1: This collection of essays addresses three critical challenges posed to Judaism by modernity - the challenge of ideas, the challenge of diversity, and the challenge of statehood - and provides insights and ideas for the future direction of Judaism. 100 NIS

Slide 2: The factionalism and denominationalism of modern Jewry makes it difficult to create a definition of the Jewish people. Aiming to take readers beyond the divisions that characterize modern Jewry, this book explores the ever contentious question of \"who is a Jew.\" 100 NIS

Slide 3: This book constitutes the first attempt to address the category of Sonship in Jewish mystical literature as a whole. By this survey, not only can the mystical forms of Sonship in Judaism be better understood, but also the concept of Sonship in religion in general. 120 NIS

Slide 4: This groundbreaking book outlines a broad spectrum of answers to important questions presented in Jewish literature, covering theological as well as hermeneutical issues. 100 NIS

Slide 5: This book provides a close reading of primary halakhic texts as a key to explaining Giyyur (conversion), arguably the most radical of Judaic rituals, irrevocably turning a Gentile into a Jew. 130 NIS
