Zeigt Titel in Judentum

Die bekannte Autorin und Referentin Noor van Haaften legt nach ihrem Buch über Elia nun eine weitere gründliche Bibelauslegung vor. Diesmal gewährt sie ihren Lesern tiefe Einblicke in das Leben von Samuel. Dieser kam als Kind in die Obhut des Hohepriesters Eli. Als Richter, Priester und Prophet reiste er kreuz und quer durch Israel und forderte das Volk zu Einkehr, Buße und radikaler Nachfolge auf. Eine faszinierende Geschichte, die auch heute noch aktuell ist!

For thousands of years, Jews have looked to the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Old Testament by Christians, for their origins, and have located in them the tenets of their faith. However, much of what is recognized today as Judaism does not appear in the Bible. How did Judaism develop from its biblical roots to the highly developed system we know today? What has changed - and what has remained constant? In this series of 24 spirited and provocative lectures, Professor Gafni investigates how the Jewish faith struggled to continually redefine itself during the first thousand years after the completion of the last books of the Hebrew Bible.

Tracing Yiddish civilization from its roots in the Diaspora to the present, Paul Kriwaczek combines intimate family anecdote, travelogue, historical research, and interviews with scholars to give us a rich portrait of a nearly extinguished culture as it survived across the centuries.

We see the burgeoning exile population disperse, moving outward and northward throughout the following centuries, making their mark in more far flung cities under Roman rule.

Der Herr hält allen seine rettende Hand hin. Doch du kannst sie nicht ergreifen, weil du dich von ihm abgewandt hast. Mit jedem Unschuldigen, den du töten ließest, hast du dich weiter vom Herrn entfernt. Nun, am Rand des Abgrunds versuchst du, dich zu retten. Doch dafür ist es zu spät. Dein Königtum wird dir aus der Hand gerissen werden. Und deine Armee, in die du mehr Vertrauen als in den Herrn gesetzt hast, wird im Blut untergehen.
