Yussel's Prayer: A Yom Kippur Story
by Barbara CohenWhen Yussel asks to accompany Reb Meir and his sons to the synagogue, he is answered kindly but firmly by Reb Meir. The eldest son pokes fun at the poor, uneducated orphan, because Yussel cannot read; therefore, how could he pray? While Yussel fasts and watches the cows, Reb Meir and his sons mouth the words while thinking about making money, taking trips, and getting home to the boiled potatoes and herring. Can a ragged, dirty, unlearned, orphaned cowherd offer God a true prayer? In this gentle retelling of a Jewish folktale, Cohen draws the reader into the minds and hearts of the rich landowner and the poor, orphaned cowherd. Older children will enjoy Reb Meir's humor, and younger children will relax into the beauty of the story. Although Cohen introduces some jewish terms and traditions, meanings are always obvious from the actions of Reb Meir's family. Best of all, piety is not rewarded, true-heartedness is. This is a fine bedtime story as well as an excellent Sunday-School reading.

Yves Congar's Vision of the Church in a World of Unbelief
by Gabriel FlynnYves Congar (1904-1995) was one of the chief architects of a remarkable renewal in Roman Catholic ecclesiology in the twentieth century. His vision for ecclesial renewal led to a profound transformation of the Roman Catholic Church, its relationship with other churches and the world. This book considers the contribution made by Congar to that transformation. Situating Congar’s ecclesiology in the context of his whole theology, the book presents for the first time a comprehensive study of two related aspects of Congar's thought - unbelief and the notion of 'total ecclesiology'. Dr Flynn shows how unbelief provides the common inspiration for Congar's thought on the Church and constitutes the raison d’être for his entire programme of ecclesial reform at the Second Vatican Council. This study demonstrates how Congar's 'total ecclesiology' contributes to the restoration of unity and helps to redress unbelief. Congar's vision for the future and his programme for ecclesial renewal, centering on a church committed both to the preservation of its heritage and an openness to true reform, is shown to be still pertinent to the churches in the third millennium, a point accented by Pierre-Marie Gy, OP in his Preface to the work.

Zaddik
by David RosenbaumA former detective investigates a deadly diamond heist among New York&’s Hassidic community in this &“big, bright and successfully old-fashioned&” thriller (Publishers Weekly). Dov Taylor is an ex-cop. He&’s also an ex-husband, ex-drinker, and ex-observant Jew. The way he sees it, he doesn&’t have much to offer anybody. So he&’s surprised when he gets a summons from a rabbi in Brooklyn: A Hassidic man has been murdered during the theft of a priceless diamond, and the rabbi believe Dov is the man to solve the crime. Why Dov? Generations ago, his ancestor was a famous Polish mystic—a zaddik—revered for his ability to discern the truth. Perhaps some of that wisdom would whisper down the decades and help Dov see what others cannot. Despite his skepticism, Dov soon finds himself heading deep into Manhattan&’s Diamond District, the feuding of rival Hassidic clans, and a family connection to the missing diamond that reaches back to Napoleonic Poland.
Zainab’s Traffic: Moving Saints, Selves, and Others across Borders (Atelier: Ethnographic Inquiry in the Twenty-First Century #16)
by Emrah YildizWhat is the value—religious, political, economic, or altogether social—of getting on a bus in Tehran to embark on an eight-hundred-mile journey across two international borders to the Sayyida Zainab shrine outside Damascus? Under what material conditions can such values be established, reassessed, or transgressed, and by whom? Zainab’s Traffic provides answers to these questions alongside the socially embedded—and spatially generative—encounters of ritual, mobility, desire, genealogy, and patronage along the route. Whether it is through the study of the spatial politics of saint veneration in Islam, analysis of cross-border gold trade and sanctions, or examination of pilgrims women’s desire for Syrian lingerie accompanying their pleas with the saint in marital matters, the book develops the idea of visitation as a ritual of mobility across geography, history, and category. Iranian visitors’ experiences on the road to Sayyida Zainab—emerging out of a self-described "poverty of mobility"—demonstrate the utility of a more capacious anthropological understanding of ritual. Rather than thinking of ritual as a scripturally canonized manual for pious self-cultivation, Zainab’s Traffic approaches ziyarat as a traffic of pilgrims, goods, and ideas across Iran, Turkey, and Syria.
