Описание:
How Judaism and food are intertwined Judaism is a religion that is enthusiastic about food. Jewish holidays are inevitably celebrated through eating particular foods, or around fasting and then eating particular foods. Through fasting, feasting, dining, and noshing, food infuses the rich traditions of Judaism into daily life. What do the complicated laws of kosher food mean to Jews? How does food in Jewish bellies shape the hearts and minds of Jews? What does the Jewish relationship with food teach us about Christianity, Islam, and religion itself? Can food shape the future of Judaism? Feasting and Fasting explores questions like these to offer an expansive look at how Judaism and food have been intertwined, both historically and today. It also grapples with the charged ethical debates about how food choices reflect competing Jewish values about community, animals, the natural world and the very meaning of being human. Encompassing historical, ethnographic, and theoretical viewpoints, and including contributions dedicated to the religious dimensions of foods including garlic, Crisco, peanut oil, and wine, the volume advances the state of both Jewish studies and religious studies scholarship on food. Bookended with a foreword by the Jewish historian Hasia Diner and an epilogue by the novelist and food activist Jonathan Safran Foer, Feasting and Fasting provides a resource for anyone who hungers to understand how food and religion intersect.

Though ancient rabbinic texts are fundamental to analyzing the history of Judaism, they are also daunting for the novice to read. Rabbinic literature presumes tremendous prior knowledge, and its fascinating twists and turns in logic can be disorienting. Rabbinic Drinking helps learners at every level navigate this brilliant but mystifying terrain by focusing on rabbinic conversations about beverages, such as beer and wine, water, and even breast milk. By studying the contents of a drinking vessel--including the contexts and practices in which they are imbibed--Rabbinic Drinking surveys key themes in rabbinic literature to introduce readers to the main contours of this extensive body of historical documents.

There may be eight million stories in the Naked City, but there are also nearly three million dwelling places, ranging from Park Avenue palaces to Dickensian garrets and encompassing much in between. The doorways to these residences are tantalizing portals opening onto largely invisible lives. Habitats offers 40 vivid and intimate stories about how New Yorkers really live in their brownstones, their apartments, their mansions, their lofts, and as a whole presents a rich, multi-textured portrait of what it means to make a home in the world’s most varied and powerful city. These essays, expanded versions of a selection of the Habitats column published in the Real Estate section of The New York Times, take readers to both familiar and remote sections of the city—to history-rich townhouses, to low-income housing projects, to out-of-the-way places far from the beaten track, to every corner of the five boroughs—and introduce them to a wide variety of families and individuals who call New York home. These pieces reveal a great deal about the city’s past and its rich store of historic dwellings. Along with exploring the deep and even mystical connections people feel to the place where they live, these pieces, taken as a whole, offer a mosaic of domestic life in one of the world’s most fascinating cities and a vivid portrait of the true meaning of home in the 21st-century metropolis.
How the new conspiracists are undermining democracy--and what can be done about it
Conspiracy theories are as old as politics. But conspiracists today have introduced something new--conspiracy without theory. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. In A Lot of People Are Saying, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum show how the new conspiracism differs from classic conspiracy theory, how it undermines democracy, and what needs to be done to resist it.

Land Whisperer A Guide to Partnering Energetically with Any Environment reintroduces readers to the land-human partnership, our oldest partnership on Earth and one many of us have become disconnected from, and clarifies our place within it and responsibility to it. The book presents a pragmatic approach to land healing but is about far more than technique. It's about a way of sensing and communicating with the multidimensional world in which we live for the benefit of all lifeforms. Through concepts, processes, and stories drawn from the author's practice, this guide shows how the land-human partnership is a living, interactive, energetic relationship and how to actually conduct that relationship -- the essence of "whispering."
Most land whispering centers on clearing patterns of disharmony held within the environment, often for long periods, and resetting a fresh energetic baseline that frees the land to attract to it a more balanced set of behaviors and patterns and, in effect, redirect its storyline. Other aspects of the work include conducting soul retrieval for the land in areas devastated by human-caused trauma or natural events. The practice may be done proactively to help avoid creating imbalances, or reactively to redress existing imbalances, many of which developed because no one was aware enough to be proactive in the first place.
This book is valuable not only to people who want to become practitioners, but also to those interested in shamanic healing, co-creative processes, other intuitive arts (such as plant spirit medicine and sacred geometry), energy medicine, esoteric lore, and wisdom traditions. Landscape architects, land managers, property developers, urban designers and planners, realtors, farmers, ranchers, gardeners, and environmentalists may find this guide eye-opening and the practice applicable to their work. Business owners and those responsible for public spaces may find that their land-whispered environments support smoother interactions and greater productivity and, in the case of retail businesses, improved customer relations and sales. Community activists seeking "out of the box" approaches to help mitigate complex social problems such as violence, drug abuse, and displaced populations may find land whispering a promising tool where conventional solutions have been inadequate or failed entirely.
Wendell Berry tells us there are no sacred and unsacred places, only sacred and desecrated places. Land whispering offers a powerful and, for some, life-altering way to partner with Nature to help redress desecration.
