Book Description
Excerpt from Text-Book of the Jewish Religion The text-book of the Jewish Religion which is here with offered to the Jewish public is an outline of a larger work which the author has prepared on the same subject. It is, however, complete in itself, and con tains as much as we should like our younger children to know of our Holy Religion. Due regard has been paid to the Chief Rabbi's Code, which determined the substance and the form of this volume. A complete index shows how to use it for each standard; but the author did not deem it advisable to restrict the book exclusively to the requirements of the Code. The latter may be modified; the progress of the Hebrew classes may, and we hope will, in course of time demand a higher standard. It was, therefore, preferred to give a short but complete exposition of the principles and the precepts of our Religion, in such a manner that the book may also be used as a guide for more advanced pupils.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Jewish Religion IN presenting this volume to the public the author does not claim much originality. He merely desires to reproduce the religious principles which were sown into his heart by his parents, 5m and cultivated by the great teachers of Israel - the Prophets, the Soferim, and their successors - ih order that the blessing which he himself has always derived from these principles may also be enjoyed by his brethren. The original sources of religious knowledge, viz., the Scriptures and post-biblical Jewish Literature, are of course accessible to all, and every one may sit at the feet of our great teachers and listen to their instruction. But there are many who are in need of assistance, who require the aid of an interpreter. The present volume is intended to render that assistance and to serve as such interpreter. The author therefore addresses him self to his brethren, especially to his disciples, in the words of an ancient teacher of the Mishnah (aboth.

Book Description
Excerpt from Judaism The writer has attempted in this volume to take up a few of the most characteristic points in Jewish doctrine and practice, and to explain some of the various phases through which they have passed, since the first centuries of the Christian era. The presentation is probably much less detached than is the case with other volumes in this series. But the difference was scarcely avoidable. The writer was not expounding a religious system which has no relation to his Own life. On the contrary, the writer is himself a Jew, and thus is deeply concerned personally in the matters discussed in the book.

Book Description
Excerpt from Jewish Theology Dr. Kohler does not explain how he arrives at this division of his subject. He does not state on what principles it is based. In the absence of any clear guidance, it appears at first sight to be drawn on arbitrary lines, and the thoughtful reader finds himself compelled to come to the author's rescue. The writer's first step has been presumably to take Theology in its literal sense as theory concerning God. Therefore the first great section deals with God. But as God cannot be said to exist unless there is man to recognise. His existence, a second main division is devoted to Man. Finally, as the work isa treatise on Jewish Theology in particular, and not on Theology in general, there follows a third and final portion entitled Israel and the Kingdom of God.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Great Christian Jews Now this steadfast loyalty is a matter which calls for unqualified admiration. If the Jewish religion were an obvious falsehood or a fraud, a superstition, or a law operating in effect to foster wickedness as some ancient religions have done; if it were in some way harmful in its results, then we might admire the loyalty, while at the same time, in the interest of truth or progress or righteousness, we might depre cate it. But the Jewish religion is a true, clean, good religion. It is well for the world that Jews have been loyal to it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Zionism and the Jewish Religion I In Rabbinic phraseology. The good of all nations share in the world to come. 5 Exod. Xix. 5.call the modern way of looking at religious ideas approximates to the highest conceptions of Judaism, as stated for example by Maimonides. Maimonides above all Jewish thinkers regards God as absolute; he goes so far, when he is in his highest philosophic mood as to refuse to postulate any posi tive attributes whatsoever in regard to the Godhead, and he finally defines God in terms of negative attributes only. If we adopt this as the ultimate Jewish standpoint, we must conclude that when any relationship between God and man. Is spoken of, the process of change implied in such relationship can be referred to man only and not to God. A revelation from God to man, then, put into the language of philosophical theism, means a particular state of mind on the part of man, by which he is brought into some sort of special but indefin able contact with the Absolute perfection called God. The prophets, sages, and saints of Israel, who have been in the old language the vehicles of revelation, become in the new language those in whom the soul of the Jewish people, which is one aspect of the spirit of God, has most mightily manifested itself. This conception of Israel's national destiny, of a special relationship between God and the people of Israel, which only imposes upon it higher duties because the national sense of God in Israel is truer than that of other peoples, finds its classic expression in the Book of Amos. The history of Israel is neither more nor less a part of the Divine plan than is the history of any other nation Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Aramaeans from Kir (ix. 7) But Israel has known God as no other nation has known him, and it must take the consequences of that knowledge for good or for evil: Only you havei known of all the families of the earth, therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities (iii.
