[ha-Safran]: Book release In-laws/ Its all Relative
In-Laws: It's all relative, by Dr.Rabbi Abraham Twerski, MD (psychiatristand) co-author, Leah Shifrin Averick, LCSW, (clinical social worker.) Reviewed by Ariella Einstein The Gemara in Yevamot views it as natural that a mother-in-law will hate her daughter-in-law and go to extreme measures to break up her son's marriage. The optimistic view of book, In-Laws/ Its All Relative, is that while this is natural, it is not necessary. While not pretending that all people or families are alike (we all know what Tolstoy said), this book brings to bear Torah wisdom and experience of both psychiatrist and social worker to suggest ways to avoid problems before they occur, solve them when they occur, or ameliorate their severity when they can't be solved. Especially significant are the final chapters that discuss forthrightly how to look for outside help. However, the joy of this book is its body. It is like a gentle touch of an older friend, who has seen it all before, who can give you the view from a higher elevation (and we all know what the Messilat Yesharim said). Our older friend has anecdotes and advice, ways of showing us the other view, advice for turning either/or into also/both, of making two cakes so you can have one and eat one, too. This thought provoking and useful book made me happier for having read, and more optimistic, in general, about the possibilities of positive human interactions no matter how high the stakes (and what's more important to people than the trivia of their loved ones' lives?). The authors must be wonderful people. In fact, I wonder if Mrs. Averick has an available son? --- Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: hasaf...@osu.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org

THE ORIGINS OF THE SEDER: THE PASSOVER RITE AND EARLY RABBINIC JUDAISM New York, JTS Press 2002 ISBN: 0873340876. Paperback, xix, 188 pages, illustrated, 24 cm. New Edition (Originally published in hardback in 1984). The Passover and its rite are central in the history of Judaism and Christianity. Explaining how the Passover evening celebration, the seder, became one of the most popular Jewish rituals, Baruch M. Bokser shows how it was based on and transformed a biblical sacrificial meal. Bokser demonstrates the significance of the motif of Passover in ancient Judaism, indicating why Jews and Christians employed it to express hopes for redemption. And he also illuminates the process of historical development through the interaction of a traditional heritage with contemporary and outside cultural influences. This is a fascinating book which will add much to our understanding of Judaism and Christianity and of the nature of religion in a changing world. Baruch Bokser was ordained as a rabbi at Jewish Theological Seminary and also received a Ph.D. in religious studies from Brown University. Beginning in 1974, he taught at the University of California at Berkeley, leaving in 1982 for Dropsie College in Philadelphia (now the Annenberg Research Institute for Judaic and Near Eastern Studies). Then in 1986, Bokser returned to the Jewish Theological Seminary to join the faculty and where, at his early death at age 44 in 1990, he was the director of the program in ancient Judaism.

The hypothesis and argument are clearly spelled [out] and and then supported by detailed references to various Talmud and Mishnah sections which are reproduced as necessary. Although...reprinted in 2002, it is current and consistent with more recent works. I read the book in the weeks leading up to 2009 Passover holidays and found much in Dr. Bokser's work to work into the actual Seder and ignite the interest of those present. In essence, Dr. Bokser makes a very persuasive case that the Passover Seder, as molded in the Hagaddah, was one of the key pillars for the survival of Judaism after the catastrophic destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E. Certainly, he establishes that the basics of the Seder as we know it today with its emphasis on freedom, community and symbolic ritual owes its genesis to the Tanna and the Amora of the centuries following the destruction (Jerome Hoffman, Amazon review). $25.00 We have a limited supply on hand, please order your copy today.
