Aprašymas

"ISRAEL is the heart of mankind." -YEHUDAH HALEVI.

Dr. Joseph H. Hertz held the position of Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom in a period encompassing both world wars and the Shoah (1913-1946). A book of Jewish Thoughts is a selection of Jewish wisdom through the millennia and is immensely popular. The book is filled with Jewish history, poetry, stories and statements. It is a wonderful book of thoughts to ponder and learn from to both Jew and Non-Jew alike.A very worthwhile read!
"THIS Book of Jewish Thoughts brings the message of Judaism together with memories of Jewish martyrdom and spiritual achievement throughout the ages. Its first part, 'I am an Hebrew', covers the more important aspects of the life and consciousness of the Jew. The second, 'The People of the Book', deals with Israel's religious contribution to mankind, and touches upon some epochal events in Israel's story. In the third, 'The Testimony of the Nations', will be found some striking tributes to Jews and Judaism from non-Jewish sources. The fourth part, 'The Voice of Prayer', surveys the Sacred Occasions of the Jewish Year, and takes note of their echoes in the Liturgy. The fifth and concluding part, 'The Voice of Wisdom', is, in the main, a collection of the deep sayings of the Jewish sages on the ultimate problems of Life and the Hereafter."
