Shmuel Boteach Ordre des livres

With the publication of his runaway bestseller Kosher Sex, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach gained instant fame as a sage and savvy commentator on public and private life. Now he turns his outspoken energy and vast erudition to the core teachings of Judaism itself. During his years as Rabbi of Oxford University and founder of the university's Jewish outreach organization, the L'Chaim Society, Boteach began to realize how well-matched the foundational beliefs of Judaism are to the broad human needs of the modern world. Unlike the dualist credo of other religions—in which the material and spiritual are always in conflict—the Jewish faith uniquely represents a spiritual philosophy concerned about life in this world, rather than in the hereafter. In Judaism for Everyone, this most unorthodox of orthodox rabbis explores the Jewish and Biblical origins of civilization's seminal moral ideas and presents Judaism as a program of action for people of all faiths. Boteach's interpretations and commentary are a vibrant celebration of the dynamism that is Judaism. Whether he's peppering his points with stories from his childhood, promoting feminism, decrying boredom, or extolling the virtues of leisure and solitude, Shmuley Boteach never fails to inform, inspire, and surprise. Judaism for Everyone is for anyone who seeks a universal moral creed to maximize human goodness and inner potential.

Focusing on the themes of grief and healing, the book offers a heartfelt meditation that addresses the emotional aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic. Rabbi Shmuley shares personal reflections and insights, aiming to uplift readers as they navigate their own experiences of loss and recovery. The narrative is both poignant and moving, providing comfort and understanding during a time of collective hardship.

The book addresses the alarming rise of misogyny in contemporary culture, highlighting its manifestation in reality TV, advertisements, and music that often depict women as shallow or objectified. Through critical analysis, the author aims to awaken readers to the pervasive negative stereotypes and societal attitudes that contribute to this issue. The work serves as both a commentary and a call to action, encouraging a reevaluation of how women are represented and treated in media and society at large.

In Kosher Sex, his celebrated international blockbuster, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach pioneers a revolutionary approach to sex, marriage, erotic attraction, and personal relationships, drawing on traditional Jewish wisdom. Using his experiences counseling individuals and couples, the author breaks down sexual taboos and openly, yet respectfully, discusses the meanings, emotions, and hidden power of sex. With his unique anecdotal style, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach illustrates each and every point, using real couples who have discovered the joys of "Kosher Sex"- sex that blends passion and intimacy. He profiles the two most common types of couples - best friends and passionate lovers- and suggests revolutionary ways of synthesizing the best that each type has to offer. At a time when half of all marriages fail and one third are sexless and platonic, Kosher Sex will have an astonishing and electrifying impact.

This book is dedicated to the proposition that Israel can and will win the argument in the marketplace of ideas because her greatest commodity is the minds and souls of those who care enough to learn the truth and then, armed with that truth, the courage to take a stand.

Challenging traditional beliefs, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach explores profound questions about God's presence during human suffering, such as in the events of 9/11 and the Holocaust. He argues that questioning God is not only acceptable but essential, countering Rabbi Harold Kushner's views on suffering. By drawing from biblical confrontations and contemporary examples, Boteach offers a transformative perspective that empowers individuals to confront their pain and reject victimhood, presenting a compelling action plan for those feeling abandoned by God.

Jesus of Nazareth is the most famous Jew who ever lived, yet remains profoundly alienated from his own people. At best he is viewed as the founder of a new religion which for millennia was hostile to Judaism. At worst he is seen as the source of world anti-Semitism, with the charge that the Jews were responsible for his death being the impetus for the murder of countless Jews throughout the ages. But the historical Jesus is also foreign to most Christians who are oblivious to the life he lived as a Jew, his real mission in ancient Judea, the source of most of his celebrated teachings, and his firm attachment to his people. Shmuley Boteach offers us a view of Jesus, based on Jewish and Christian sources, that will serve as a bridge between two faith communities.

A brilliant synopsis of the Jewish faith by the bestselling author of Kosher Sex.

Michael Jackson gewährte seinem geistlichen Berater ungewöhnlich neue, entwaffnend ehrliche Einblicke in sein Innenleben und ließ wieder einmal erkennen, wie einsam er sich trotz seines Erfolgs fühlte. Er berichtet ihm, er habe sogar Schaufensterpuppen in seinem Haus aufgestellt, weil er Gesellschaft brauchte. Mit Frauen hatte er nur unglückliche Beziehungen: Tatum O Neal, Tochter des Schauspielers Ryan O Neal, wollte Jacko schon als Teenager verführen. \"Ich war 16, sie war 13\", erinnert er sich in den Aufzeichnungen: \"Sie Brooke Shields, die mit Jackson eine sehr innige Freundschaften pflegte, wollte ebenfalls mehr: \"Einmal wurde es recht intim, doch ich drückte mich. Das war ein Fehler.\" Mit Madonna hatte sich Michael über den Ort für ein Rendezvous gestritten: Er wollte nach Disneyland, sie in einen Strip Club. Seine Ex-Frau Lisa Marie Presley wollte (entgegen vorherigen Versprechen) keine Kinder. \"Ich weinte oft, so groß war mein Wunsch nach Kindern\", erzählte Jacko Shmuley Boteach. Auch seine Familie ist Thema des Buches, vor allem sein Verhältnis zu seinem Vater und seiner Mutter, aber auch das zu seinen Geschwistern. Dieses Buch versammelt eine Fülle neuer autobiografischer Details aus dem Leben der verstorbenen Popikone!
