I do not cast these tales in an educational, religious, or aca- demic light but, rather, present them as texts that have the power to move people. That is, I present them as literature. The Talmud contains hundreds of stories about rabbinic sages and other historical fi gures who lived during the late Second Temple and rabbinic periods, which spanned the fi rst few centuries of the Common Era. The stories were recorded long after the events they recount, and thus they are literary rather than historical accounts. For generations these stories were neglected by literary audiences and were considered the province of rabbis and academics alone. But this is no longer the case. In the past decades readers of diverse backgrounds have devel- oped an openness and a willingness to engage this literature on their own terms.

It is uniquely durable and plastic. It is a substance sourced from the earth that has been manipulated in numerous ways and used for a variety of purposes for thousands of years. Despite this, art therapy research is heavily focused on art making using two-dimensional materials. Research is lacking regarding the use of clay as a medium in art therapy. This literature review revealed many therapeutic benefits and qualities about clay. These qualities include increasing mood in psychiatric patients, increasing progress in self-development for patients with schizophrenia, increasing self- expression with older adults, and healing from trauma.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 773 ) Thesis Abstract Judaism is a religion that emphasises the importance of a set of practical commandments and in the history of Jewish philosophy various attempts have been made to rationalise or justify these commandments. In this thesis I try to establish a general model for the justification of practices through a critical examination of two such attempted rationalisations. However, the study is framed within the more general question of whether or not there can be such a thing as Jewish Philosophy as a genuinely substantive discipline. Thus, I take the particular topic of rationalising the commandments as a ‘case study’ in order to see whether we can do substantive Jewish philosophy at least in the practical sphere. In the main body of the thesis I look at the methods of rationalisation of Moses Maimonides and Joseph Soloveitchik and argue that despite being based on very different scientific models they share a central methodological presumption that I term the Priority of Theory (PoT).

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

    CLASSIC PALESTINIAN CUISINE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Christiane Dabdoub Nasser | 208 pages | 24 Jul 2013 | SAQI BOOKS | 9780863568442 | English | London, United Kingdom Classic Palestinian Cuisine PDF Book Sayadiah , a golden fish and rice dish, with fragrant spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and coriander. A journalist traveling in Palestine and living in the West Bank looks at the plight of the Palestinian people and the comments on the current state of Jewish-Arab relations in the region. It consists of a roasted chicken over taboon bread that has been topped with pieces of fried sweet onions, sumac, allspice and pine nuts. Battir is the antithesis of industrial farming, because its crops evolved according to real conditions: topography, microclimate, water, and most importantly for Sansour, people. Kassis is working on her second book, about modern Arabic cooking, and found examining the past — how recipes evolved in Palestine and the surrounding regions — crucial to giving shape to the notion of a people and its food. Masgoof is made with fire grilled "shabbout" fish unique to the Tigris River, served with lemon slices. Before we know it, a tray laden with fresh-looking starters arrives, carrying more than what we ordered, testament to Palestinian generosity and hospitality. Ramadan is the only period during which the restaurant is primarily visited by Egyptians, who come in large numbers to break-fast there with Palestinian food. A dish native to the Gaza area is sumaghiyyeh , consisting of water-soaked ground sumac mixed with tahina. I know now not to let anyone interpret for me what it means to be Palestinian.
