A Few Little Books Online ShoppingEverything You Always Wanted To Read

In which books of the Old Torah can you read about Lilith?

I already know that she was Adam’s first wife, that she refused to be sexually submissive and that she left the Garden of Eden to form a race of Vampires and other Demoniac folk. I know that she is often used to represent Jewish feminism and I also know that she is a powerful pagan icon. I don’t know, however, any great detail of what happened to her after she left the Garden of Eden or where you can find copies of the Old Testament where she is still featured. Can any of you fabulously learned people help?

Lilith is mentioned in the Bible, but her origins come from the Book of Genesis::

Genesis 2:20-23 And Adam gave names to all
cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every
beast of the field; but for Adam there was not
found an help meet for him. 21 And the Etrnl Gd
caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he
slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up
the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which
the Etrnl Gd had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said,
This is at last bone of my bones, and flesh of my
flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was
taken out of Man.

When Adam said, ‘..at last..’ it was taken to mean that Eve was not the first woman made for Adam. The first made was Lilith. When Adam rejected her, she became enraged (hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!), and became the stuff of legend. After she left, she became the ‘demon’ blamed for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in the versions where she becomes evil, and in those stories where she was more of a trickster, she was portrayed as being the one responsible for taking one of a pair of socks out of the dryer, that kind of thing.

The Book of Jewish Books $5.98 This book is in Used condition

Jewish Wisdom $12.99 When, if ever, should lying be permitted? If you’ve damaged a person’s reputation unfairly, can the damage be undone? Is a person who sells weapons responsible for how those weapons are used? if the fetus is not a life, what is it? How, as an adult, can one carry out the command to honor one’s parents when they make unreasonable demands? What are the nine biblical challenges a good person must meet? What do the great Jewish writings of the last 3,500 years tell us about these and all other vital questions about our lives? Rabbi Joseph Telushkin has devoted his life to the search for answers within the teachings of Judaism. In Jewish Wisdom, Rabbi Telushkin, the author of the highly acclaimed Jewish Literacy, weaves together a tapestry of stories from the Bible and Talmud, and the insights of Jewish commentators and writers from Maimonides, Rashi, and Hillel to Einstein, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Elie Wiesel. A richer source of crucial life lessons would be hard to imagine. Accompanying this extraordinary compilation is Teluslikins compelling commentary, which reveals how these texts continue to instruct and challenge Jewsand all people concerned with leading ethical livestoday As he discusses these texts, Rabbi Telushkin addresses issues of fundamental interest to modern readers: how to live with honesty and integrity in an often dishonest world; how to care for the sick and dying; how to teach children to respect both themselves and others, how to understand and confront such great tragedies as antisemitism. and the Holocaust; what God wants from humankind. Within Jewish Wisdom’s ninety chapters the reader will find extended sections illuminating Jewish perspectives on sex, romance, and marriage, what kind of belief in God a Jew can have after the Holocaust, how to use language ethically, the conflicting views of the Bible and Talmud on the death penalty, and much, much more. Jewish Wisdom adds a new dimension to the many widely read contemporary books that retell the stones and reveal the essence of classic religious and secular literature. Possibly the most far-ranging volume of stories and quotations from Jewish texts, Jewish Wisdom will itself become a classic, a book that not only has the capacity to transform how you view the world, but one that well might change how you choose to live your life.

Burnt Books $12.99 Rodger Kamenetz, acclaimed author of The Jew in the Lotus, has long been fascinated by the mystical tales of the Hasidic master Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. And for many years he has taught a course in Prague on Franz Kafka. The more he thought about their lives and writings, the more aware he became of unexpected connections between them. Kafka was a secular artist fascinated by Jewish mysticism, and Rabbi Nachman was a religious mystic who used storytelling to reach out to secular Jews. Both men died close to age forty of tuberculosis. Both invented new forms of storytelling that explore the search for meaning in an illogical, unjust world. Both gained prominence with the posthumous publication of their writing. And both left strict instructions at the end of their lives that their unpublished books be burnt.   Kamenetz takes his ideas on the road, traveling to Kafka’s birthplace in Prague and participating in the pilgrimage to Uman, the burial site of Rabbi Nachman visited by thousands of Jews every Jewish new year. He discusses the hallucinatory intensity of their visions and offers a rich analysis of Nachman’s and Kafka’s major works, revealing uncanny similarities in the inner lives of these two troubled and beloved figures, whose creative and religious struggles have much to teach us about the significant role played by the imagination in the Jewish spiritual experience. From the hardcover edition.
