"If the Jews wish to become a nation of ‘Jewish Culture,’" Eliezer Ben-Yehuda wrote in 1904, "they must first become truly a nation." Throughout the subsequent decade, Ben-Yehuda and other Zionist activists in Palestine attempted to transform the small, divided, economically depressed, and demographically declining Yishuv – the pre-state Jewish community – into the foundation of a modern nation. In this book, Arieh Bruce Saposnik tells the story of this transformation.

Free Download Choi, "Patterns of Movement in the Hebrew Psalter "
English | ISBN: 1433179431 | 2021 | 304 pages | EPUB, PDF, RAR | 10 MB + 18 MB + 28 MB
The author re-examines the movements in the Hebrew Psalter as a whole, "from laments to praises" and "from psalms of individual to those of community," indicated by Westermann (1977) and Gottwald (1985). In general, these movements are widely observable, however, there are some contradictory data upon closer inspection. Namely, some laments are assembled at the end and in fact many psalms of community appear in the middle. This motivated the author to launch a holistic structural study. In this book, the author demonstrates that the movements are not specified in a linear design but a progressive parallel pattern, crossing over the fivefold doxological division. The movements foreshadowed between Psalms 1 and 2 unfold in the specific psalms-groups and in the tripartite division. Each psalms-group exhibits the movements "from distress (lament) through deepest sorrow to joy (praise)," "from individual (through Israel) to nations," "from present/past to future," "from (the city of) Israel through Sheol/death to Zion," "from Mosaic covenant to Davidic one" and "from the flawed human (Davidic) kingship through Messianic to YHWH’s kingship." The "answer and certainty" of Psalms 1-2 reappear at the end of each group. A psalms-group, Pss 69-87, was selected as an exemplar to demonstrate the regularity of the movements.

Free Download Diana Dolev, "The Planning and Building of the Hebrew University, 1919-1948: Facing the Temple Mount"
English | ISBN: 0739191616 | 2016 | 186 pages | EPUB | 16 MB
Since the construction of the first Holy Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem in 957 BCE, the site became one of the holiest places for Jews, Christians, and Muslims around the world. Once the Dome of the Rock was built during early Islam, the edifice replaced the temple and for centuries pilgrims, travelers, and locals would climb up to the Mount Scopus summit for the magnificent view it afforded. Hence, planning and building an institute of national importance on Mount Scopus could not disregard the implications of that view of the Temple Mount-in terms of beauty, religious sentiments, and the link to a historic golden age.

Free Download Elizabeth W. Goldstein, "Impurity and Gender in the Hebrew Bible"
English | ISBN: 1498500803 | 2015 | 148 pages | EPUB | 1477 KB
Impurity and Gender in the Hebrew Bible explores the role of female blood in the Hebrew Bible and considers its theological implications for future understandings of purity and impurity in the Jewish religion. Influenced by the work of Jonathan Klawans (Sin and Impurity in Ancient Judaism), and using the categories of ritual and moral impurities, this book analyzes the way in which these categories intersect with women and with the impurity of female blood, and reads the biblical foundations of purity and blood taboos with a feminist lens. Ultimately, the purpose of this book is to understand the intersection between impurity and gender, figuratively and non-figuratively, in the Hebrew Bible. Goldstein traces this intersection from the years 1000 BCE-250 BCE and ends with a consideration of female impurity in the literature of Qumran.

Free Download Samuel Hildebrandt, "Vast as the Sea: Hebrew Poetry and the Human Condition"
English | ISBN: 1506485499 | 2023 | 252 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1402 KB + 12 MB
The poetry, imagery, speeches, and emotions readers encounter in texts like Job, Psalms, and Jeremiah are abundant resources for articulating the painful experiences of the human condition. These compositions are sacred scripts that normalize and articulate the anxiety, loneliness, and despair that mark life on earth. In Vast as the Sea, Samuel Hildebrandt presents an accessible, exegetical study of these scripts that demonstrates how the Bible’s ancient poetry speaks today. In conversation with current psychological research, Hildebrandt’s poetic analyses invite readers to discover the personal and expressive contours of the biblical text, as well as its liberating and healing potential.

Free Download Mohamed A.H. Ahmed, "Arabic in Modern Hebrew Texts: The Stylistics of Exophonic Writing"
English | ISBN: 1474444431 | 2019 | 200 pages | PDF | 5 MB
In the late 1950s, Iraqi Jews were either forced or chose to leave Iraq for Israel. Finding it impossible to continue writing in Arabic in Israel, many Iraqi Jewish novelists faced the literary challenge of switching to Hebrew. Focusing on the literary works of the writers Shimon Ballas, Sami Michael and Eli Amir, this book examines their use of their native Iraqi Arabic in their Hebrew works. It examines the influence of Arabic language and culture and explores questions of language, place and belonging from the perspective of sociolinguistics and multilingualism.
