Sinossi

In a world where languages come and go, Yiddish stands as a testament to the enduring power of human expression. Born from the fusion of Germanic, Slavic, and Hebrew elements, Yiddish has captivated hearts and minds for centuries, serving as a vibrant and expressive voice for the Jewish people.

This book is an invitation to embark on a journey into the world of Yiddish, a language steeped in history, culture, and tradition. Through its pages, you will discover the origins and evolution of Yiddish, from its humble beginnings in the shtetls of Eastern Europe to its global reach in the 21st century. You will delve into the intricacies of Yiddish grammar and syntax, unlocking the secrets of its distinctive vocabulary and expressive idioms.

Yiddish is more than just a language; it is a window into a vibrant culture. Through Yiddish, we can access a world of literature, music, theater, and cuisine, all infused with the unique spirit of the Yiddish-speaking people. This book will take you on a journey through the cultural landscape of Yiddish, exploring its role in Jewish identity, its use in religious texts and rituals, and its enduring legacy in the face of adversity.

You will also discover the profound impact Yiddish has had on the broader cultural landscape. Yiddish words and phrases have found their way into English and other languages, enriching our vocabulary and adding a touch of Yiddish charm to our everyday speech. Yiddish humor and wit, with its self-deprecating nature and wry observations on life, have tickled funny bones across the globe.

However, the survival of Yiddish is not guaranteed. The Holocaust and other historical events have decimated Yiddish-speaking communities, and the forces of assimilation and modernization continue to erode its vitality. Yet, there are signs of hope. Yiddish is experiencing a revival in some quarters, with young people taking an interest in learning and preserving the language. Yiddish schools, cultural centers, and festivals are springing up around the world, offering opportunities for people to connect with Yiddishkeit and keep the language alive.

This book is a celebration of the enduring spirit of Yiddish. It is an invitation to explore the depths of this remarkable language, to appreciate its beauty, and to celebrate its contributions to culture and society. Whether you are a native Yiddish speaker, a student of the language, or simply someone curious about the world's rich linguistic heritage, this book is for you. Join us on a journey into the world of Yiddish, and discover the treasures that await you.

    Judeophobia - A History

    Throughout the history of the Western world, Jews have suffered various forms of exclusion, stigmatization, and discrimination that have forced them always to be aware of their particular situation. The Jews became a community under siege and, as Shlomo Sand argues, Judaism was shaped by the hostile gaze of Christian civilization. While the forms of hostility endured by the Jews have varied over the centuries, it is impossible to understand twentieth century anti-Judaism, or Jewish identity itself, without taking account of the sediments of mental hatred, fueled by religious belief, which have survived the passage of time. 
     
    While antisemitism is the term commonly used today, Sand prefers 'Judeophobia', which predates the appearance of 'antisemitism' and is more precise. Looking back over the centuries, he seeks to identify some of the stages in the age-old, incandescent hatred of the Jews and tries to understand what remains today of this trenchant hostility. He also questions whether Zionism, born as a distressed response to modern Judeophobia, has ended up mirroring it. To what extent has Zionism inherited the ideological foundations that have always been characteristic of the persecutors of the Jews? This history of anti-Jewish hatred will be of interest to anyone concerned with one of the most insidious and persistent features of Western civilization.

    J.B. Rhine (1895 - 1980), widely considered to be the "Father of Modern Parapsychology," was the world’s leading investigator of psychic phenomena, ESP and the paranormal. He founded the parapsychology research lab at Duke University and the Journal of Parapsychology. Dr. Rhine, who coined the term "extrasensory perception" (ESP) to describe the apparent ability of some people to acquire information without the use of the known five senses), wrote several books on ESP and the paranormal. Rhine investigated ghosts, telepathy, poltergeists, and other unseen parapsychology phenomena from 1927 to 1965 at his Duke laboratory, and for several years after that at a private laboratory. The following was recorded from a Rhine lecture on psychokinesis and his ESP experiments.
