Living a Jewish Life, Updated and Revised Edition: Jewish Traditions, Customs, and Values for Today's Families pdf

在我的第一部小说《红色帐篷》中，我将圣经中女性的文化重新想象为亲密、持久和强大，尽管事实上她们在大多数情况下在身体、思想和精神上都受到限制和脆弱。我的新书，PERIOD。 END OF SENTENCE，以完全不同的方式呈现女性的身体和自由。 当电影，期间。句尾。 2019 年获得奥斯卡奖的电影制片人兼 The Pad Project 创始人梅丽莎·伯顿告诉观众：“一段时期应该结束一句话，而不是女孩的教育。”受这部纪录片的启发，我的散文集描述了月经不公的文化根源，以及它如何侵蚀自尊、限制机会甚至威胁生命。但这本书也颂扬了致力于结束经期贫困和污名化的新一代激进主义者和创新者，并探索了新兴的时代产品、广告、激进主义艺术和喜剧世界。 当我还是个孩子的时候，新泽西州纽瓦克市奥斯本露台的公共图书馆是我最先被允许独自步行去的地方之一。我每周都去，我仍然可以画一张儿童房的地图，爬上一段楼梯，当你进入时，路易莎·梅·奥尔科特的书被安排在左边。 房间中央附近的非小说类书籍装满了传记。我读了几篇关于埃莉诺和富兰克林·罗斯福、玛丽·居里、阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特和海伦·凯勒的文章，我和他们一起过生日。 但是到了我 11 岁的时候，儿童图书馆开始感到封闭了，所以我偷偷下楼到成人书架那里去拿一本《大地》。 （我无意中听到一个成年人谈论这本书，听起来很有趣。）办公桌前的图书管理员瞥了一眼书名，说我的年龄不够看小说，而且我的卡只能让我拿出儿童读物. 我为我的选择辩护。我说我父母给了我许可，这只是半个谎言，因为我父母从来没有拒绝过我任何一本书。最终，图书管理员心软了，我得意洋洋地走回家。我可以访问大图书馆。我的世界永远不会一样。

Living a Jewish Life describes Judaism as not just a contemplative or abstract system of thought but as a blueprint for living fully and honorably. This new edition builds on the classic guide, which has been a favorite among Jewish educators and students for years. Enriched with additional resources, including online resources, this updated guide also references recent changes in the modern Jewish community, and has served as a resource and guide for non–Jews as well as Jews. Addressing the choices posed by the modern world, Living a Jewish Life explains the traditions and beliefs of Judaism in the context of real life. It explores the spectrum of liberal Jewish thought, from Conservative to Reconstructionist to Reform, as well as unaffiliated, new age, and secular. Celebrating the diversity of Jewish beliefs, this guide provides information in ways that readers can choose how to incorporate Judaism into their lives. Readers will learn how to choose the right synagogue, and discover the meaning and significance of lighting Sabbath candles. "Shabbat," "Torah," "kosher," "mitzvah" and other key words are all defined in all of their complex and potent meanings. On the most basic level, this book explains the essential Jewish vocabulary, but more importantly, LIVING A JEWISH LIFE is a sensitive and comprehensive introduction that reveals the timeless nature of Jewish tradition, rich with history and relevant in the modern world.
