The Confessions of a Jewish Priest are the reminiscences of Gabriel Weinreich, a secular Jew who was born in Poland and moved to the U.S. as a young adolescent during World War II thus narrowly escaping the Holocaust. The book follows Weinreich as he becomes an American, twice-husband, father, and an award-winning scientist, and shows how his subsequent journey toward Christianity and ordination to the Episcopal priesthood do nothing to impair his sense of "Jewishness."In addition to telling a compelling life story of a boy from an eminent Jewish family, the book takes us on a journey into Christianity as perceived by a Jew who began as a complete atheist--but realizes later in life that he never really was an atheist after all.

Download Confessions of the Shtetl Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Over the course of the nineteenth century, some 84,500 Jews in imperial Russia converted to Christianity. Confessions of the Shtetl explores the day-to-day world of these people, including the social, geographic, religious, and economic links among converts, Christians, and Jews. The book narrates converts' tales of love, desperation, and fear, tracing the uneasy contest between religious choice and collective Jewish identity in tsarist Russia. Rather than viewing the shtetl as the foundation myth for modern Jewish nationhood, this work reveals the shtetl's history of conversions and communal engagement with converts, which ultimately yielded a cultural hybridity that both challenged and fueled visions of Jewish separatism. Drawing on extensive research with conversion files in imperial Russian archives, in addition to the mass press, novels, and memoirs, Ellie R. Schainker offers a sociocultural history of religious toleration and Jewish life that sees baptism not as the fundamental departure from Jewishness or the Jewish community, but as a conversion that marked the start of a complicated experiment with new forms of identity and belonging. Ultimately, she argues that the Jewish encounter with imperial Russia did not revolve around coercion and ghettoization but was a genuinely religious drama with a diverse, attractive, and aggressive Christianity.

Download Confessions of a Secular Jew Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
What it means to be a Jew lies at the very heart of Confessions of a Secular Jew, a provocative memoir and a thoughtful speculation on the nature of Jewish identity and experience in an increasingly secular world. The legacy bequeathed to Eugene Goodheart was a "progressive" secular Yiddish education which identifi ed Jewish struggles against oppression with working class struggles against exploitation. In the vanguard was the Soviet Union. Goodheart's heroes were Moses, Bar Kochbah, Judah Maccabee, Karl Marx and that strange honorary Jew, Joseph Stalin, whose anti-Semitism would later become known to the world. Confessions of a Secular Jew is the story of Goodheart's disillusionment with the naive, even false, progressivism of that education. At the same time, it is an attempt to rescue and come to grips with the positive remains of that education and heritage.

Download Confessions of a Jewish Shiksa Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Confessions of a Jewish Shiksa is more than an autobiography or a memoir. It's a powerful confession... it is a trip worth taking“Compelled to tell her story and create shows from frantic chaotic moments in her life and relationships, Sheridan created a confes- sional piece that is pithy, involving, sassy and sometimes just a bit rude...a lively inspection of self, life, and the process involved in cultivating good feelings against all odds, shattering old paradigms and patterns of loss, grief, and negativity that inject the descendants of the Holocaust with a form of ongoing PTSD.”

Download Confessions of a Jewish Hillbilly Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy Billy's confessions. You just have to be a little sentimental and somewhat curious. All of our lives are made up of a series of short stories, each adding to our wealth of knowledge and experiences, ultimately shaping who we are today. Some would call it - reminiscing - others just - looking back - while others might enjoy - recalling - stories from their past. We all do it. Billy, in a light hearted way shares with you his unique life experiences in Confessions of a Jewish Hillbilly. Set in the hills of Appalachia just before the outbreak of World War II, Billy's stories, other than being set in another time and in another place are perhaps not much different than stories you would recall when looking into the rear view mirror of your youth. Among the over 100 short stories in Confessions...are Stories I Never Told My Mother. If at least one story comes to mind, for you, this unique book is a must read. Be prepared to reminisce, look back and recall or just smile a lot. Confessions of a Jewish Hillbilly is an unabridged, tell-all book about Billy's first 17 years, growing up in a small West Virginia town, as seen through the eyes of a four to six year old, an eight to 10 year old, a 13 and 17 year old. Included are many fascinating stories about a grade school kid learning about life during an amazing period in our country's history: the Second World War and the post war years that followed. The story ends as Billy, the teenager, enters the mid-century modern era of the 1950s and is faced with dealing with a major event that would change his life forever.
