Book cover of Judeo Arabid Parody

A Judeo-Arabic Parody of the Life of Jesus : the ‘Toledot Yeshu’ Helene narrative. Miriam Bayla Goldstein. Tübingen : Mohr Siebeck, 2023.
https://huc.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1376248867  
Miriam Goldstein provides the first-ever examination of the Judeo-Arabic versions of Toledot Yeshu (TY), the notorious parody of the life of Jesus originating in Late Antiquity, as well as a full edition and translation of Judeo-Arabic TY texts from their earliest fragmentary witnesses through their early modern copies. Goldstein considers the function of the narrative in the religiously diverse Arabic-speaking milieu and traces the existence of TY in a variety of languages in later Jewish Near Eastern story collections. – Provided by publisher

Book cover of Soul Seeks its Melodies“The soul seeks its melodies” : music in Jewish thought. Dov Schwartz ; translated by Batya Stein. Brighton : Academic Studies Press, 2022.
https://huc.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1351688049
The connection of Judaism to music has been a lively discourse topic in recent years, and the musical awakening in religious circles is one expression of it. This book is the first comprehensive research project on the encounter of music and Judaism in the theological and philosophical realms, tracing the historical evolution of the music motif in Jewish thought. It describes the course of music as a tool serving religious, psychological, and instrumental goals until it developed into an independent aesthetic experience. – Provided by publisher

Book Cover of Jewish Woemn in ComicsJewish Women in Comics : bodies and borders. Edited by Heike Bauer, Andrea Greenbaum, and Sarah Lightman. Syracuse, New York : Syracuse University Press, 2023.
https://huc.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1348394073
In this groundbreaking collection of essays, interviews, and artwork, contributors draw upon a rich treasure trove of Jewish women’s comics to explore the representation of Jewish women’s bodies and bodily experience in pictorial narratives. Spanning national, cultural, and artistic borders, the essays shine a light on the significant contributions of Jewish women to comics. The volume features established figures including Emil Ferris, Amy Kurzweil, Miriam Libicki, Trina Robbins, Sharon Rudahl, and Ilana Zeffren, alongside works by artists translated for the first time into English, such as artist Rona Mor. Exploring topics of family, motherhood, miscarriages, queerness, gender and Judaism, illness, war, Haredi and Orthodox family life, and the lingering impact of the Holocaust, the contributors present unique, at times intensely personal, insights into how Jewishness intersects with other forms of identity and identification. – Provided by publisher.

Book cover of First Fifty YearsThe First Fifty Years: a jubilee in prose and poetry honoring women rabbis. Sue Levi Elwell, Jessica Greenbaum, Hara E. Person, editors.
https://huc.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1351688049 
The ordination of Rabbi Sally J. Priesand in 1972 was a watershed moment in Jewish history. In The First Fifty Years, contributors from across the Jewish and gender spectrums reflect on the meaning of this moment and the ensuing decades, both personally and for the Jewish community. In short pieces of new prose, authors- many of them pioneering rabbis-share stories, insights, analysis, and celebrations of women in the rabbinate. These are intertwined with a wealth of poetry that poignantly captures the spirit of this anniversary. – Provided by publisher.
