Jewish Publication Society New York: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This is the book that American Jews and particularly American Reform Jews have been waiting for: a clear and informed call for further reform in the Reform movement. In light of profound demographic social and technological developments it has become increasingly clear that the Reform movement will need to make major changes to meet the needs of a quickly evolving American Jewish population. Younger Americans in particular differ from previous generations in how they relate to organized religion often preferring to network through virtual groups or gather in informal settings of their own choosing. Dana Evan Kaplan an American Reform Jew and pulpit rabbi argues that rather than focusing on the importance of loyalty to community Reform Judaism must determine how to engage the individual in a search for existential meaning. It should move us toward a critical scholarly understanding of the Hebrew Bible that we may emerge with the perspectives required by a postmodern world. Such a Reform Judaism can at once help us understand how the ancient world molded our most cherished religious traditions and guide us in addressing the increasingly complex social problems of our day. Dana Evan Kaplan is the rabbi of the United Congregation of Israelites in Kingston Jamaica and former rabbi of Temple B'nai Israel in Albany Georgia. He is the author of Contemporary American Judaism: Transformation and Renewal The Cambridge Companion to American Judaism and American Reform Judaism: An Introduction. Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie is president emeritus of the Union for Reform Judaism. Rabbi Rick Jacobs is president of the Union for Reform Judaism. "The New Reform Judaism is a useful resource for clergy as well as for synagogue and academic libraries."�Barbara M. Bibel Jewish Book Council "Rabbi Kaplan's accessible and compelling exploration of the makings markings and current state of Reform Judaism provides an informative comprehensive tour for both those new to the subject and those familiar with it."�Francisca Goldsmith Booklist "Judaism is at a crossroads. . . . Those eager to understand and participate in this exciting new chapter in Jewish history will find extensive background and stimulation in The New Reform Judaism a valuable contribution to this evolving discourse."�Rabbi Rick Jacobs president Union for Reform Judaism "Dana Evan Kaplan has become the chronicler of contemporary Reform Judaism. In this fascinating book he takes us on a journey through the complexities of a modern liberal faith that is now confronting a period of great upheaval . . . an upheaval that impacts all Jews and all religious Americans."�Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie president emeritus Union for Reform Judaism Jewish Publication Society, New York: 2013 hardcover

Paris: Firmin Didot 1874. Fine. Firmin Didot Paris 1874 In 4 20x297cm 4 548pp. relié. - 41431 - FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS Mention de cinquième édition. Edition illustrée de 19 chromolithographies et de 400 gravures sur bois. Cartonnage d'éditeur à l'imitation des grandes reliures à la Groslier. Demi chagrin vert sapin à plats de percaline chagrinée. Coins émoussés. Très rares rousseurs. L'intérêt de l'ouvrage se manifeste tant par son érudition que par sa facilité d'approche et de lecture anecdotes historiques. On le doit à Paul Jacob qui fut un grand bibliophile un écrivain et érudit et le conservateur de la bibliothèque de l'Arsenal. Si toute la série est devenue un grand classique dans le domaine c'est qu'elle marie heureusement un travail d'éditeur d'imprimeur de relieur d'histoire d'illustrateurs de documentations et peu de livres ont finalement réussi cet amalgame qu'on doit à Firmin-Didot à une époque où le livre était devenu bien médiocre.
