A historical tour de force that demolishes the myths and taboos that have surrounded Jewish and Israeli history, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a new account of both that demands to be reckoned with. Was there really a forced exile in the first century, at the hands of the Romans?

Umfassend und gut verständlich erklärt er die historischen Wurzeln des Konflikts zwischen Juden und Arabern, der bis in die Gegenwart nichts von seiner Brisanz verloren hat.

Michael Wolffsohn setzt sich, ausgehend von der aktuellen Politik, in seinem neuen Buch mit dem Verhältnis von Judentum, Christentum und Islam–gestern, heute und morgen–auseinander. In gewohnt pointierter Weise zieht er dazu Geschichte und Theologie heran. Seine illusionslosen und dennoch teils humorvollen und immer messerscharfen Analysen gelten insbesondere Terror, Krieg und Gewalt. Seine große mediale Präsenz als Talkshowgast, Interviewpartner und Publizist erklärt sich durch seine Fähigkeit zu faktengesättigten und allgemeinverständlichen Statements, die auch dieses Buch prägen.

For generations, the Old Testament has shaped Western culture—etched into our laws, language, and morality. But what if we've misunderstood it all along? Beneath the familiar tales of creation and commandments lies a far more unsettling truth: these texts weren't written to enlighten, but to persuade. Crafted by priests and kings, they served as political tools to assert power, justify violence, and shape collective memory.

Theodor Herzls Buch zur praktischen Gründung und Durchführung eines modernen Judenstaates nahm viele Geschehnisse vorweg, die schließlich am 14. Mai 1948 in der Ausrufung des Staates Israels ihre Erfüllung finden sollten. Als einen Bestseller konnte man das 1896 in Leipzig und Wien veröffentliche Buch "Der Judenstaat" allerdings nicht bezeichnen. Das schmale Bändchen erschien gerade einmal in einer Auflage von 3000 Exemplaren.

»Er vertraute auf den Herrn, den Gott Israels, und nach ihm ist seinesgleichen nicht gewesen unter allen Königen von Juda noch unter denen, die vor ihm waren.« Das ist ein einmaliges Prädikat Gottes über die Person und das Leben des Königs Hiskia! Doch trotz dieser außergewöhnlichen Auszeichnung scheint er doch häufig im Schatten anderer Personen der Bibel zu stehen. Dabei gibt es Grund genug, die eindrückliche Geschichte dieses Mannes zu studieren, da sie wichtige Lektionen und gesegnete Herausforderungen enthält.

To this end, Rav Berg includes historical milestones, as well as insights about master kabbalists, whose lives and deaths provide a basis for learning and connection.

Auf diesem Hörbuch wird die jüdische Kabbala in eindringlicher und gut verstehbarer Form erläutert. Die jahrtausende alte mystische Tradition des Judentums hat ihre Wurzeln in der Tora, zeigt aber in ihren Bezügen zum Neuplatonismus, der Gnosis und den mystischen Strömungen der anderen abrahamitischen Religionen auch einen universalen Charakter. Das grundlegende Motiv der Kaballah offenbart sich in dem tiefen Wunsch nach einer Unmittelbarkeit im Erleben des Göttlichen und dessen Ausstrahlung auf das praktische Leben.

This incisive history upends the complacency that confines anti-Judaism to the ideological extremes in the Western tradition.

Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; Christians and Muslims of every period; even the secularists of modernity have used Judaism in constructing their visions of the world.
