  • Its the Gospel According to Luke
    THE BIBLE NOTEBOOK Verse By Verse Bible Studies © 2005 Johnny L. Sanders IT’S THE GOSPEL According to Luke by Johnny L. Sanders, D. Min. Copyright© 2005 Johnny L. Sanders All Rights Reserved DEDICATION To John and Mark I love you, my sons (I never get tired of saying it) INTRODUCTION TO THE THIRD GOSPEL 2 GOSPEL. The word “Gospel” is commonly defined today as “good news” - and that it is! However, according to some accounts, in pre-New Testament times it was used to denote the reward given to the bearer of good news. In the New Testament it denotes the announcement of, and the recording of good news. There is a difference between an event and the account of the event. To Luke, the Gospel is, first and foremost, what God did through Jesus Christ, and then the continuation of what He did through His church (see the Book of Acts). The Gospel According to Luke and the Book of Acts form a unit and need to be studied together for maximum benefit. It should be remembered that this is not the Gospel of Luke - it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, according to Luke. AUTHORSHIP. All evidence points to the fact that Luke, the Gentile physician and trusted friend and co-worker of Paul, was the author of both the Gospel According to Luke and the Book of Acts. Scholarship and tradition both support this claim. Luke wrote about one-fourth of all the Scripture in the New Testament, and the book that bears his name has been ranked by many among the most beautiful books ever written.

  • The New Reform Temple of Berlin: Christian Music and Jewish Identity During the Haskalah
    THE NEW REFORM TEMPLE OF BERLIN: CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND JEWISH IDENTITY DURING THE HASKALAH Samuel Teeple A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2018 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2018 Samuel Teeple All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor During the first decades of the nineteenth century, Israel Jacobson (1768-1828) created a radically new service that drew upon forms of worship most commonly associated with the Protestant faith. After finding inspiration as a student in the ideas of the Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, Jacobson became committed to revitalizing and modernizing Judaism. Musically, Jacobson’s service was characterized by its use of songs modeled after Lutheran chorales that were sung by the congregation, organ accompaniment, choral singing, and the elimination of the traditional music of the synagogue, a custom that had developed over more than a millennium. The music of the service worked in conjunction with Protestant-style sermons, the use of both German and Hebrew, and the church- and salon-like environments in which Jacobson’s services were held. The music, liturgy, and ceremonial of this new mode of worship demonstrated an affinity with German Protestantism and bourgeois cultural values while also maintaining Judaism’s core beliefs and morals. In this thesis, I argue that Jacobson’s musical agenda enabled a new realization of German-Jewish identity among wealthy, acculturated Jews. Drawing upon contemporary reports, letters, musical collections, and similar sources, I place the music of Reform within its wider historical, political, and social context within the well-documented services at the Jacobstempel in Seesen and the New Reform Temple in Berlin.

  • R. Shlomo Goren and Prime Minister David Ben Gurion Rabbi Jonathan Ziring: [email protected]
    Shlomo and David – R. Shlomo Goren and Prime Minister David Ben Gurion Rabbi Jonathan Ziring: [email protected] Biography (Wikipedia) שלמה :Shlomo Goren (Hebrew ,February 3, 1917 – October 29)גורן 1994), was an Orthodox Religious Zionist rabbi in Israel, a Talmudic scholar and foremost authority on Jewish law. He founded and served as the first head of the Military Rabbinate of the Israel Defense Forces and subsequently as the third Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel from 1973 to 1983, after which he established a yeshiva in Jerusalem, which he headed until his death. He served in the Israel Defense Forces during three wars, wrote several award-winning books on Jewish law, and was appointed .Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv in 1968 Symbolism 1. Toronto Torah, Rabbi Jonathan Ziring In 1956, a Jew visited Rabbi Goren and told him that he had had a dream. He was instructed to travel to Turkey to buy the horn of a specific type of ram to make a shofar. He was then to use this to make a large shofar for Rabbi Goren to blow on the top of Har Sinai. Rabbi Goren insisted, against the man’s wishes to pay him handsomely for the shofar, considering the expense of traveling to Turkey to acquire the horn. At the time, this was a fantastic dream, as Israel had no control over the Sinai desert. However, soon after this, Israel conquered the Sinai desert during the Kadesh campaign. When Rabbi Goren heard, despite the fact that he had no authorization, he traveled with his jeep to Jebel Musa and climbed the mountain.

  • Jewish Greetings Cheat Sheet by Interfaithfamily.Com
    Jewish Greetings Cheat Sheet By InterfaithFamily.com Ever hear someone use a Jewish greeting and aren’t sure what it means or how to respond? Happy and sad lifecycle moments, Jewish holidays and other occasions all have Jewish greetings attached. Here are some traditional Hebrew or Yiddish responses and their meanings—and a virtual pat on the back. You’re doing fine! The most common Jewish greeting is Shalom, a Hebrew word which means hello, goodbye and peace. Happy Occasions B’chatzlacha! [Pronounced be-hatz-la-ka] This means good luck! B’sha’ah tovah [Pronounced be-sha-ah toe-vah] Don’t say mazel tov when someone says they are pregnant. They don’t have the baby yet. Instead say “b’sha’ah tovah,” or “in a good hour”—meaning something like, I hope this works out perfectly. If you feel uncomfortable pronouncing that, say, “I’m so happy for you.” Mazel tov [Pronounced mah-zel tohv] Though this expression means literally good luck (or “a good sign”), it’s always used to mean congratulations. It’s something to say to couples getting married, parents of children becoming bar or bat mitzvah and new parents (but not to be said to expecting parents). It’s also a nice thing to say to someone who has a birthday, or gets a new job or a new car. One thing that makes Jewish subculture a little different from the dominant culture is that it’s typical to congratulate the parents, siblings and friends of people getting married, having a baby or watching their relative become bar or bat mitzvah.

  • Abba, Why Was Professor Higgins Trying to Teach Eliza to Speak Like
    Zuckermann, Ghil‘ad 2005. ‘“Abba, why was Professor Higgins trying to teach Eliza to speak like our cleaning lady?”: Mizrahim, Ashkenazim, Prescriptivism and the Real Sounds of the Israeli Language’. Australian Journal of Jewish Studies 19: 210-31. Abba, Why Was Professor Higgins Trying to Teach Eliza to Speak Like Our Cleaning Lady?: Mizrahim, Ashkenazim, Prescriptivism and the Real Sounds of the Israeli Language Ghil‘ad Zuckermann http://www.zuckermann.org/ 1. Introduction Language is such a sensitive issue in Israel that even politicians are involved. In a session at the Israeli Parliament on 4 January 2005, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon rebuked Israelis for using the etymologically Arabo-English expression yàla báy , lit. “let’s bye”, i.e. “goodbye”, instead of “the most beautiful word” shalóm “peace, hello, goodbye”. In an article in the daily newspaper Ha’aretz (21 June 2004), the left-wing politician Yossi Sarid attacked the common language of éser shékel as inarticulate and monstrous, and urged civilians to fight it and protect “Hebrew”. Israeli educators, as well as laymen, often argue that Israelis “slaughter” or “rape” their language by “lazily” speaking slovenly, “bad Hebrew”, full of “mistakes” (see, for example http://www.lashon.exe.co.il). Most Israelis say be kitá bet rather than the puristic be kh itá bet “in the second grade” (note the spirantization of the /k/ in the latter); éser shékel rather than asar-á shkal-ím “ten shekels” (the latter having a polarity-of- gender agreement — with a feminine numeral and a masculine plural noun), baréy mazál instead of bney mazál , lit.
