Book excerpt: In John Lennon and the Jews, Ze¿ev Maghen takes his readers on an audacious, uproariously funny Magical Mystery Tour of the mind and heart. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets Hitchhiker¿s Guide to the Galaxy in this provocative, creative and stunningly original work that the Jerusalem Post likens to a ¿dazzling intellectual amusement park.¿ A chance encounter at LAX introduces Maghen to a trio of Hare Krishna missionaries who turn out to be Israeli émigrés. They insist that Judaism is archaic, irrational, immoral and just downright stupid; that affiliating with the Jewish people in our modern, globalizing day and age is pointless and passé. Their adamant universalism and ¿everything is everything¿ rejection of their Jewish identity put the author in mind of his favorite Beatle¿s famous lyric, ¿Imagine there¿s no countries¿and no religion too.¿ John Lennon and the Jews is Maghen¿s confrontation with Lennon¿s vision of one-worldism and other in vogue beliefs that threaten Jewish continuity today. This work is a journey through centuries, countries, sitcoms, and ideas that will leave no thinking, feeling person unaffected. ¿You have never had so much fun cogitating,¿ writes one reader. ¿It¿s like sitting in a yeshiva in front of a highly erudite rabbi ¿ on mushrooms.¿

Book Synopsis John Lennon and the Jews - Edition 2 by : Zeʼev Maghen

Download or read book John Lennon and the Jews - Edition 2 written by Zeʼev Maghen. This book was released on 2011-06-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is by far the zaniest, wildest, most hilarious and pulverizing polemic on behalf of being Jewish ever penned by a human being or member of any other species. It combines mountains of information with powerful argumentation to produce a genuinely transformative intellectual and emotional experience. Far from the apologetic Bible-thumping that has become all the rage in Jewish literature of late, it is more irreverent and heretical than anything you have ever read. It will make you think, it will make you drink, it will turn you on, it will drive you nuts. Buckle up and blast off...

Book excerpt: Menachem Kellner is an American-born scholar of Jewish philosophy, an educator, and a public intellectual who lives in Israel. For over three decades he taught at the University of Haifa, where he held the Sir Isaac and Lady Edith Wolfson Chair of Jewish Religious Thought as well as several high-level administrative positions. Currently he teaches Jewish philosophy at Shalem College, Israel’s first liberal arts college, which seeks to integrate Western and Jewish texts. Trained in ethics and political philosophy, Kellner specializes in medieval Jewish philosophy, arguing that Maimonides’ rationalist universalism should serve as the ideal for contemporary Jewish life. Creatively fusing Zionism, modern Orthodoxy, and democracy, his vision of Judaism is open to and engaged with the modern world.

Book Synopsis All We Are Saying by : John Lennon

Download or read book All We Are Saying written by John Lennon. This book was released on 2021-01-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last major interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, conducted by New York Times bestselling author David Sheff, featuring a new introduction that reflects on the fortieth anniversary of Lennon's death. Originally published in Playboy in 1981 just after John Lennon's assassination, All We Are Saying is a rich, vivid, complete interview with Lennon and Yoko Ono, covering art, creativity, the music business, childhood beginnings, privacy, how the Beatles broke up, how Lennon and McCartney collaborated (or didn't) on songs, parenthood, money, feminism, religion, and insecurity. Of course, at the heart of the conversation is the deep romantic and spiritual bond between Lennon and Ono. Sheff's insightful questions set the tone for Lennon's responses and his presence sets the scene, as he goes through the kitchen door of Lennon and Yoko's apartment in the Dakota and observes moments at Lennon's famous white piano and the rock star's work at the stove, making them grilled cheese sandwiches. Sheff's new introduction looks at his forty-year-old interview afresh, and examines how what he learned from Lennon has resonated with him as a man and a parent. This is a knockout interview: unguarded, wide-ranging, alternately frisky and intense.
