Book Description

The main purpose/s of this book is to attract the readers to a more creative and realistic approach about the land of Israel, the people and the Jewish religion. Much information from the media has already been projected about Israel or The Holy Land in a way that some people might be misled into thinking its a dangerous place to visit let alone live. Danny explains that Israel is like any part of the world; a mixture of good and bad. The whole point of creating a Jewish state called Israel is/was for Jewish people or Jews to go and live in peace and comfort. Of course life in Israel is also about life in the Middle East which is a volatile part of the world. The issue about war due to religion and politics has been going on for a long time; but each story; long or short, attempts to explain to the reader at why Israel is so special from various view points. The short stories are like an appetizer to give you some creativity in your free time because they will also make you laugh from time to during difficult situations or circumstances.

Book Description

The Story of Hebrew explores the extraordinary hold that Hebrew has had on Jews and Christians, who have invested it with a symbolic power far beyond that of any other language in history. Preserved by the Jews across two millennia, Hebrew endured long after it ceased to be a mother tongue, resulting in one of the most intense textual cultures ever known. Hebrew was a bridge to Greek and Arab science, and it unlocked the biblical sources for Jerome and the Reformation. Kabbalists and humanists sought philosophical truth in it, and Colonial Americans used it to shape their own Israelite political identity. Today, it is the first language of millions of Israelis. A major work of scholarship, The Story of Hebrew is an unforgettable account of what one language has meant and continues to mean.

Book Description

The best way to summarize the main issues is fact-finding, and it should be inclusive of what people need to know about becoming professional in one of the more challenging environments. I took into consideration the paid and voluntary jobs I had in the United Kingdom, Israel, and Nepal before being invited to the Far East. Creating a career out of nearly nothing is nothing short of a miracle. The Chinese people have, in effect, allowed me to (1) create or establish a new home, (2) create a new career, (3) find a soul mate, and (4) finally publish what would be my sixth book. Almost no one helped me perform this duty because each foreign teacher has his or her strategies of teaching. I am, however, truly grateful for my loving wife, Yvonne Wu, for giving me all the assistance and guidance for making this happen. In view of the ever-challenging demands of Chinese students, parents, and bilingual schools, every effort is being made to modify methods to ensure that my classes are as interesting as possible. All my lessons include the use of the modernizing IT equipment, including electronic screens. Your enjoyment in reading is my most profound pleasure.

Book Description

This book is projected mainly about Israel, which I sincerely believe would greatly open your eyes with regard to anything you didnt know about this country. I decided to call it the challenge of Aliyah, or emigration, because of the number of challenges or developments that occurred during my seventeen years in the Middle East. There were many periods when the adventures were so pulsating that there was never really a dull or boring moment with little or nothing to do. Not only is this book designed to blow your brains to bits, but this is the novel of novels, which once you pick it up, then you wont be able to put it down until its finished. It should also be clearly stressed that just before I began writing this epic saga, as to the genuine and true spiritual meaning combined with religious/cultural values. My thoughts, in being the second generation from the Nazi Holocaust in Europe are genuine to the core. However, this is not emphasized in any way as being defined like a national or international hero. This situation, I sincerely hope will develop in a positive manner, way beyond into the future: Amen.

Danny Teller is a UK national, and he was born in 1964. For most of his intrepid and industrious childhood, he lived in the UK before immigrating to Israel in the mid-1980s. In 2002 or nearly twenty years later, he left Israel and moved to America for a short and relaxing time. He subsequently moved from America to spend nearly six months teaching English in a small but very remote village in the southern part of Nepal between 2002 and 2003. By the spring of 2003, Danny decided to return to the UK, where he spent the next few years working in a new career for two large retail companies in Central London. In some of his free time, he projected considerable amounts of efforts in creative writing, online blogs, publishing and improving his overall knowledge of IT. During this time, he also made numerous but mainly pleasurable trips to the African, Asian, American, and European Continents respectively. Moreover, in recent times, such as in 2009, Danny has made another affluent move to the Peoples Democratic Republic of China. He is currently residing with his long-term companion Yvonne Wu, who, ever since the summer of 2014, became his Chinese wife. Danny is also the author of two other e-books, one of which was coauthored by Yvonne. The Eternity of Being a Global Explorer is only available as an e-book which was published in 2013; Full of Jewish Promise and Spiritual adventures, which was available in e-book format as well as in hard copy, was published in later part of 2015 or the early part of 2016.

Book Description

Being Jewish. What does it mean--today--and for the future? Listen in as Jews of all backgrounds reflect, argue, and imagine. When Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was brutally murdered in Pakistan, many Jews were particularly touched by his last words affirming his Jewish identity. Many were moved to reflect on or analyze their feelings toward their lives as Jews. The saying "two Jews, three opinions" well reflects the Jewish community's broad range of views on any topic. I Am Jewish captures this richness of interpretation and inspires Jewish people of all backgrounds to reflect upon and take pride in their identity. Contributions, ranging from major essays to a paragraph or a sentence, come from adults as well as young people in the form of personal feelings, statements of theology, life stories and historical reflections. Despite the diversity, common denominators shine through clearly and distinctly. Contributors include: Ehud Barak - Sylvia Boorstein - Edgar M.
