  • Rede Record Brazil's 'Os Dez Mandamentos': You Still Haven't Seen It All
    Rede Record Brazil's 'Os Dez Mandamentos': You Still Haven't Seen It All 04.04.2016 Regarded as the great sensation of Brazilian television, the biblical telenovela Os Dez Mandamentos (The Ten Commandments), returns for a second season, with a warning: you still haven't seen it all. The series, penned by Vivian de Oliveira, will premiere Monday, April 4, at 8:30 p.m. on Rede Record Brazil. The channel - considered Brazil's second-largest producer of original content with a total of more than 90 hours per week - offers programming focused on the Brazilian family. The novela's first season was exported to Argentina, where it aired on Telefe in prime time, becoming the country's most-watched program in its debut, scoring a 14.9 household ratings average. Also, the production has been turned into a film, where it became the second biggest box-office hit in the history of Brazilian cinema. The launch campaign for the show's second season builds on this phenomenon. "The great secret behind the excellent results obtained by The Ten Commandments has been selling the product as a telenovela, and not as a biblical story," says Alexandre Barbosa Machado de Souza, on-air creative promos coordinator for Rede Record. This is why since season one the communication strategy has focused "more on the plot than the biblical aspects, including the romances, the conflicts, the betrayals and the drama that all major soap operas have," Souza says. As for the show's Biblical origins, Marcelo Caetano, programming director of Rede Record, says "we have been producing this type of content since 2010.

  • The Life of Moses #25 February 2, 2020
    The Life of Moses #25 February 2, 2020 “The 10 Plagues upon Egypt” Part 5 Exodus 7-12 Introduction: Tonight, we return to the first of the ten plagues which God brought upon Egypt. This plague consisted of the water being turned into blood. This beginning of plagues would have been devastating to the Egyptians. The Nile River was the lifeline which flowed through the land. Let me review the points which we looked at last week. 1. The Reproving before the Plague Notice Exodus 7:14-16 Pharaoh was given fair warning before the plague. We considered this thought before, but I will remind you again that God always brings a warning before His judgment falls. 2. The Revelation in the Plague Notice Exodus 7:17 One of the purposes of all the plagues would be to educate the people of Egypt and Israel about God. 3. The Ruin of the Plague. Notice Exodus 7:19-21 This plague was devasting to the Egyptians. The river waters and the ponds were all turned to blood. It would affect three areas of their lives: 1. Their food supplies. 2. Their environment. 3. Their economy. Egypt was desert country. They depended completely upon the Nile for irrigation as well as soil to put upon their fields. Most of Egypt’s trade and commerce depended upon the Nile River. This plague was a great blow to every area in Egypt. 4. The Reaping of the Plague. This plague of water to blood brought upon Egypt was the reaping of that which they were guilty of in the past.

  • Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The Hebrew title of this book (we'elleh shemot) originated from the ancient practice of naming a Bible book after its first word or words. "Now these are the names of" is the translation of the first two Hebrew words. "The Hebrew title of the Book of Exodus, therefore, was to remind us that Exodus is the sequel to Genesis and that one of its purposes is to continue the history of God's people as well as elaborate further on the great themes so nobly introduced in Genesis."1 Exodus cannot stand alone, in the sense that the book would not make much sense without Genesis. The very first word of the book, translated "now," is a conjunction that means "and." The English title "Exodus" is a transliteration of the Greek word exodus, from the Septuagint translation, meaning "exit," "way out," or "departure." The Septuagint translators gave the book this title because of the major event in it, namely, the Israelites' departure from Egypt. "The exodus is the most significant historical and theological event of the Old Testament …"2 DATE AND WRITER Moses, who lived from about 1525 to 1405 B.C., wrote Exodus (17:14; 24:4; 34:4, 27-29).

  • Modernity, Marginality, and Redemption: German and Jewish Identity at the Fin-De-Siècle
    MODERNITY, MARGINALITY, AND REDEMPTION: GERMAN AND JEWISH IDENTITY AT THE FIN-DE-SIÈCLE Richard V. Benson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. Jonathan Hess (Advisor) Dr. Jonathan Boyarin Dr. William Collins Donahue Dr. Eric Downing Dr. Clayton Koelb © 2009 Richard V. Benson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Richard Benson Modernity, Marginality, and Redemption: German and Jewish Identity at the Fin-de-Siècle (Under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Hess) Modernity, Marginality, and Redemption: German and Jewish Identity at the Fin-de-Siècle explores the literary, cultural, and historical process of negotiating German-Jewish identity following the radical restructuring of German-Jewish society during the nineteenth century. Modernity, Marginality, and Redemption considers the dynamic cultural roles that writers such as Karl Emil Franzos, Martin Buber, Jakob Wassermann, Theodor Herzl, and others assigned to the image of East European Jewry and of ghetto life, to Chassidic mysticism, and to messianic historical figures. I show that the works of these authors enact a self-conscious reinvention of Jewish tradition, which weds Enlightenment ideals with aspects of Jewish tradition that the Enlightenment had marginalized, while also engaging in dialogue with the most pressing discourses of fin-de-siècle European culture, in order to proffer Jewish identities that are neither strictly national nor simply religious. As I demonstrate, these texts establish Jewish identity as a central coordinate in debates about nationalism, the limits of language, phenomenology, social progress, and cultural degeneration.

  • Lenten Journey, We Want to Spend Time Reflecting on the Scripture and in Prayer
    LENT, A JOURNEY TO DICIPLESHIP A PERIOD FOR PURIFICATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT A PERSONAL WALK ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS Jesus himself drew near and walked with them on the road to Emmaus. The unknown stranger spoke and their hearts burned. Walk with us too! Let our hearts burn within us! Their eyes were opened when he blessed and broke bread. Let us know you in the breaking of the bread, and in every person we meet. They begged him to stay with them in the village they called home. Please stay with us. Do not leave us at the end of this day, or at the end of all of our days. #1214167v1 1858-26 1 INTRODUCTION1: Each year, Lent offers us a providential opportunity to deepen the meaning and value of our Christian lives, and it stimulates us to rediscover the mercy of God so that we, in turn, become more merciful toward our brothers and sisters. In the Lenten period, the Church makes it her duty to propose some specific tasks that accompany the faithful concretely in this process of interior renewal: these are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. In this year’s Lenten journey, we want to spend time reflecting on the Scripture and in prayer. We are not unlike the disciples who were accompanied by the Lord on the road to Emmaus. They reflected on the Scripture as Jesus explained it to them. And they engaged in the most formidable type of prayer known to us, a dialogue with the Risen Lord. The materials that follow are presented to you as “signposts” on your personal walk with Jesus this Lent.

  • Moses and Miriam Praise God

In Focus “FIRE DEPARTMENT, CALL OUT!” “Over here!” Ramona cried, coughing. The smoke stung her eyes and was so thick that she couldn’t see where the voice was coming from. The disaster had been sudden. One moment, she was typing away at her desk. The next, there was a quick rumble from the ground that shook the floor and shattered the floor-to-ceiling windows. Part of the ceiling frame fell to the floor, dragging down tiles and light fixtures. Some of the sprinklers came on and drenched everything nearby, but others were broken. The way to the exit stairs was blocked with flaming debris. Ramona prayed, “Heavenly Father, please bring me to safety.” She could hear the firefighters crashing through the wreckage to get to her. “OVER HERE!” she shouted again. Ramona could see the shapes of the firefighters coming forward in the dark, knocking aside desks and chairs and filing cabinets. The water sprayed from their hoses sizzled and turned to steam as it hit the flames, adding to the chaotic scene. But after a moment, two of them emerged like ghosts and crouched next to her. “Praise God! I am so grateful to see you!” Ramona cried.

  • Passover in 75 Words Or Less
    Wow, the story of Passover in 75 words or less. But is it? If it is, then why is my haggadah 95 pages? And why do some seders last until 2 a.m.? I am not going to comment on the entire Book of Exodus in this brief space, but I will attempt to shed light on some interesting aspects of this incredible story of rescue and deliverance, and will share some songs and stories that hopefully will make your Passover a little more enjoyable. Let’s begin with another short retelling of the Passover story, this time in the form of the old spiritual, Let My People Go. When Israel was in Egypt’s land, Let My people go; Oppressed so hard they could not stand, Let My Passover - the commemoration of the deliverance people go; Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt’s land, of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt.

  • A Movie That Premiered in Cannes, an Animated Musical and Coraline Among 12Th Fest Anča’S Feature Film Programme
    A movie that premiered in Cannes, an animated musical and Coraline among 12th Fest Anča’s feature film programme Fest Anča 2019 will also bring a fanimated remake of Shrek and a revolutionary film experiment Creak in Time. Feature films are always popular attractions at Fest Anča. And this year we’ll screen some of the best features made in the last two years, but also older productions. The program includes the legendary Coraline, as well as Shrek Retold, This Magnificent Cake! and Seder- masochism. “All the films in the programme were selected with regards to this year’s central theme of Identity and they reflect this motive in many different ways,” programme director Ivana Sujová explained. The legendary Coraline is a dark animated fantasy horror about the search of one’s home. The film directed by Henry Selick was produced by the prestigious Laika Studios, based on the equally legendary eponymous novel by Neil Gaiman. This story of an adventurous little girl appeals not only to children, but to all age categories. This year, Coraline celebrates ten years since its premiere. It has won many prestigious awards (three Annies and Annecy) with Oscars and Golden Globe nominations. A fun fact related to identity: Gaiman originally intended to name the protagonist Caroline, but he made a typo and unintentionally created a unique name for his unique character. A real curiosity among feature films is the collaborative Shrek Retold created by a community of Shrek`s Internet fans. The film is a scene-by-scene remake of the popular DreamWorks movie that was produced in 2018 as a crowdsourced project involving over 200 amateur artists and professional filmmakers.
