Book Description
"While rabbinic literature enables us to know more about the rabbis than any of the other members of the Jewish population of Roman Palestine, the social structure of the rabbinic movement remained largely unexplored. In the present study Catherine Hezser combines a critical analysis of the available literary, legal, and epigraphic evi-dence with a selective employment of sociological models. She examines the definition of the boundaries of the rabbinic movement, deals with the nature of the relationships amongst rabbis, and investigates the relationship between rabbis and their contemporaries, that is students, the community, and the patriarch."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Italy is a wonderful country to explore and experience. Its geography, from the lower peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean to the north and into the heartland of Europe, makes it an ideal setup to travel. Each area of the country has a unique and special identity so the traveler experiences a range of styles that reflects the unification of this special country and people. Visiting Italy is a unique experience for me. Its history, culture, architecture, people, and food combine to provide an extraordinary experience. My review and description of the cities I visited represents months of travel and my examination of the different aspects of each city. As I've done with regard to each city in the world about which I wrote a review, the template I adopted offers a panoramic approach to appreciate its multi-faceted presence. The first section reflects the country’s and each city’s History, followed by Jewish History and Presence, and My Visit. In March 2016, I visited Civitavecchia, a beautiful city overshadowed by Rome, but a short train ride away. I then visited Naples and Pompeii. This visit was while I was aboard the Rotterdam, a beautiful Holland America cruise ship, while on a 91-day voyage from the city of Rotterdam to the Far East. I was aboard the ship as clergy, offering me the wondrous opportunity of meeting incredible people as we voyaged through the international waterways of exotic adventure. I returned to Italy on a personal visit in April 2017. This time, I stayed in Rome, Siena, Verona, Livorno, Florence, Padua, and finally in Vicenza, staying for about a week in each city, leisurely exploring each of these beautiful cities. I hope these descriptions and reviews offer travelers the opportunity to examine these beautiful cities.

Book Description
Finalist for National Jewish Book Award for Writing Based on Archival Material 2022. Jewish political and cultural behaviour during the first half of the twentieth century comes to the fore in this portrayal of a forgotten movement with contemporary relevance. Commencing with the Zionist rejection of the Uganda proposal in 1905, the Jewish Territorialist Movement searched for areas outside Palestine in which to create settlements of Jews. This study analyses the Territorialists’ ideology and activities in the Jewish context of the time, but their thought and discourse also reflect geopolitical concerns that still have resonance today in debates about colonialist attitudes to peoplehood, territory, and space. As the colonial world order rapidly changed after 1945, the Territorialists did not abandon their aspirations in overseas lands. Instead, in their attempts to find settlement solutions for Europe’s ‘surplus’ Jews, they moved from negotiating predominantly with the European colonizers to negotiating also with the ever more powerful non-Western leaders of decolonizing nations. This book reconstructs the rich history of the activities and changing ideologies of Jewish Territorialism, represented by Israel Zangwill’s Jewish Territorial Organisation (the ITO) and, later, by the Freeland League for Jewish Colonization under the leadership of Isaac Steinberg. Via Uganda, Angola, Madagascar, Australia, and Suriname, this story eventually leads us to questions about yidishkeyt, and to forgotten early twentieth-century ideas of how to be Jewish.

Book Description
No generation in the history of Jewry has been so roundly, universally condemned by posterity as that of Yohanan ben Zakkai. A crisis was taking place in Palestine Ð a conflict between the Romans' need for expanding their empire, trade, and strategic locale, and the Jews' need for continuing to serve God with their laws and their holy land. Beginning with the destruction by the Romans of the second temple in A.D. 70, we have a continuing picture of Pharisee Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai, leader of Jewish reconstruction and founder of contemporary Judaism as we know it today: how the Torah affected Yohanan's education, war activities, social problems, and theological issues. Especially important to Jews and Christians alike is the picture of Pharisees and Pharisaism that emerges and the enlightening story of what happened to the many Jews of this first-century who did not become Christians. First-Century Judaism in Crisis is a popularized version of the author's prize-winning biography of Yohanan ben Zakkai (Leiden, E.J. Brill, 1970).
