Yiddishkeit: Jewish Vernacular & the New Land
by Harvey Pekar and Paul BuhleA “fascinating and enlightening” collection of comics and writings that explore the Yiddish language and the Jewish experience (The Miami Herald).We hear words like nosh, schlep, and schmutz, but how did they come to pepper American English? In Yiddishkeit, Harvey Pekar and Paul Buhle trace the far-reaching influences of Yiddish from medieval Europe to the tenements of New York’s Lower East Side. This comics anthology contains original stories by such notable writers and artists as Barry Deutsch, Peter Kuper, Spain Rodriguez, and Sharon Rudahl. Through illustrations, comics art, and a full-length play, four major themes are explored: culture, performance, assimilation, and the revival of the language. “The book is about what Neal Gabler in his introduction labels ‘Jewish sensibility.’…he writes: ‘You really can’t define Yiddishkeit neatly in words or pictures. You sort of have to feel it by wading into it.’ The book does this with gusto.” —TheNew York Times“As colorful, bawdy, and charming as the culture it seeks to represent.” —Print magazine“Brimming with the charm and flavor of its subject…a genuinely compelling, scholarly comics experience.” —Publishers Weekly“A book that truly informs about Jewish culture and, in the process, challenges readers to pick apart their own vocabulary.” —Chicago Tribune“A postvernacular tour de force.” —The Forward“With a loving eye Pekar and Buhle extract moments and personalities from Yiddish history.” —Hadassah“Gorgeous comix-style portraits of Yiddish writers.”––Tablet “Yiddishkeit has managed to survive, if just barely…because [it] is an essential part of both the Jewish and the human experience.” —Neal Gabler, author of An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood, from his introduction“A scrumptious smorgasbord of comics, essays, and illustrations…concentrated tastes, with historical context, of Yiddish theater, literature, characters and culture.” —Heeb magazine
Yiddishlands: A Memoir, Second Edition
by David G. RoskiesThis lively and irreverent memoir explores the settings where Yiddish—a language of song, rebellion, and eternal longing—has thrived: in the cabaret and café, the kitchen and classroom, the literary salon and mystical commune, the partisan brigade and on pilgrimage to Poland. Inspired by his mother’s recitations of their family saga in his youth, author David Roskies uncovers a tale of survival, intrigue, sacrifice, and divided loyalties that began over 4,000 miles away and two generations ago. A careful reconstruction of the details of his parents’ escape from Europe at the outbreak of the Second World War is juxtaposed with his personal odyssey in the postwar center of Yiddish culture that was Montreal. Roskies embarks on a search for other speakers of his mother tongue with very different stories to tell, which takes him on a journey through the upheavals of 1960s America, the struggle for Soviet Jewry, the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War, the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the revival of Jewish life here, there, and everywhere. Along the way, he encounters great Yiddish poets and their widows, survivors of the Holocaust, artists, actors, scholars, and teachers. Yiddishlands is essential reading for students of the recent Jewish past and the living Yiddish present.

The Yield: Kafka's Atheological Reformation
by Paul NorthThe Yield is a once-in-a-generation reinterpretation of the oeuvre of Franz Kafka. At the same time, it is a powerful new entry in the debates about the supposed secularity of the modern age. Kafka is one of the most admired writers of the last century, but this book presents us with a Kafka few will recognize. It does so through a fine-grained analysis of the three hundred "thoughts" the writer penned near the end of World War I, when he had just been diagnosed with tuberculosis. Since they were discovered after Kafka's death, the meaning of the so-called "Zürau aphorisms" has been open to debate. Paul North's elucidation of what amounts to Kafka's only theoretical work shows them to contain solutions to problems Europe has faced throughout modernity. Kafka offers responses to phenomena of violence, discrimination, political repression, misunderstanding, ethnic hatred, fantasies of technological progress, and the subjugation of the worker, among other problems. Reflecting on secular modernity and the theological ideas that continue to determine it, he critiques the ideas of sin, suffering, the messiah, paradise, truth, the power of art, good will, and knowledge. Kafka's controversial alternative to the bad state of affairs in his day? Rather than fight it, give in. Developing some of Kafka's arguments, The Yield describes the ways that Kafka envisions we can be good by "yielding" to our situation instead of striving for something better.
Yijing, Shamanic Oracle of China: A New Book of Change
by Richard BertschingerFor the Chinese, the destiny of each individual and the cosmos have always been inextricably linked, and for two thousand years the Yijing, or the Book of Change, has exercised the best minds in the Orient. Richard Bertschinger, author of The Secret of Everlasting Life (the first translation of The Can Tong Qi), has worked from the classical commentaries to make a fresh and up-to-date translation for the modern world. Marriage, business ventures, journeys, military ventures, disputes, world affairs, personal problems, health or money issues, all are grist for the mill of the Book of Change. Through pondering the lines, studying their poetry, and devoting ourselves to its meaning, the heart of the ancients is clear. We pick up perhaps in a way we never could have conceived of, how to guide and direct our lives. With an introduction that explains the underlying structure and philosophy of the Book of Change, as well as its history, and a detailed explanation of how to throw the yarrow sticks, or the coins, the novice reader is given everything they need to take their first steps in consulting the ancient oracle, and those already familiar with established translations will find this fresh translation from the original texts clear and illuminating.

Every night, the villagers meet to watch the lighting of a candle on the menorah.

What will they do? Finally, on the last night of Hanukkah, Yitzi has an idea to orchestrate the surprise thank you gift.
YIVO and the Making of Modern Jewish Culture
by Cecile Esther KuznitzThis book is the first history of YIVO, the original center for Yiddish scholarship. Founded by a group of Eastern European intellectuals after World War I, YIVO became both the apex of secular Yiddish culture and the premier institution of Diaspora Nationalism, which fought for Jewish rights throughout the world at a time of rising anti-Semitism. From its headquarters in Vilna, Lithuania, YIVO tried to balance scholarly objectivity with its commitment to the Jewish masses. Using newly recovered documents that were believed destroyed by Hitler and Stalin, Cecile Esther Kuznitz tells for the first time the compelling story of how these scholars built a world-renowned institution despite dire poverty and anti-Semitism. She raises new questions about the relationship between Jewish cultural and political work and analyzes how nationalism arises outside of state power.

Yo hablo con los muertos
by Lilian Elizabeth Quiñonez de VáldezLily de Valdez nos cuenta, a través de una serie de anécdotas, su camino por un mundo espiritual de aprendizaje y su disposición de ayudar, constituyéndose como mediadora entre quienes viven y quienes ya han muerto. Nacida en el año 59 en el seno de una familia de 6 hijos. Desde pequeña ve y escucha a personas que se quieren comunicar con ella y que sólo ella percibe. Esta situación le causa incomprensión y negación de un don que heredo de su familia materna por lo que decide no seguir compartiendo sus vivencias. Busca tranquilidad y orientación en las iglesias. No quiere pasar por loca. Durante la niñez y adolescencia varios sucesos la acercan a su realidad, pero es hasta los 23 años que toma consciencia de cuál es su misión al entrar en comunicación con una persona fallecida a la que nunca en vida conoció. En este momento comprende que los dones que posee están destinados a ayudar a sus semejantes. Es así como empieza y 20 años después decide escribir Yo hablo con los muertos con la finalidad de compartir sus experiencias y aprendizajes y para aquellos que se han negado a enfrentar los dones especiales que se les encomendaron, no se sientan locos ni indiferentes.

Yo os salvaré a todos
by Emilie FrècheDos diarios: Uno, de unos padres que no logran comprender qué llevó a su hija Eléa, de 17 años, a unirse al Estado Islámico. Otro, de Eléa, que nos irá descubriendo poco a poco cómo llegó a cruzar la frontera entre la influencia y la convicción. <P><P>Debido a que no tiene noticias de Eléa, su hija de 17 años reclutada por el Estado Islámico y desaparecida en Siria hace seis meses, Laurence comienza a escribir un diario. Escribir le impide entregarse por completo al dolor que la roe todos los días, a la rabia de no haberlo visto venir, y no haber sido capaz de entender que todo iba a cambiar. Laurence le habla a su hija y le cuenta todos los días su tristeza y su participación en grupos de desradicalización, su lucha para crear conciencia, tratando de impedir la salida de otros adolescentes... para de alguna manera contrarrestar la falta de su hija, para noperderlo todo por completo... <P><P>A sus palabras responden las del diario personal de Eléa, escrito un año antes. Y así descubrimos poco a poco cómo los sueños de futuro, el primer amor, las amistades, fueron reemplazados por la manipulación, la sumisión, el extremismo...

Yog Vashishtha: योग वासिष्ठ
by Badrinath Kapoorभारतीय मनीषा के प्रतीक ग्रंथों में एक ‘योग वासिष्ठ’ की तुलना विद्वत्जन ‘भगवद् गीता’ से करते हैं। गीता में स्वयं भगवान मनुष्य को उपदेश देते हैं जबकि ‘योग वासिष्ठ’ में नर (गुरु वशिष्ठ) नारायण (श्रीराम) को उपदेश देते हैं। विद्वत्जनों के अनुसार सुख और दुख, जरा और मृत्यु, जीवन और जगत, जड़ और चेतन, लोक और परलोक, बंधन और मोक्ष, ब्रह्म और जीव, आत्मा और परमात्मा, आत्मज्ञान और अज्ञान, सत् और असत्, मन और इंद्रियाँ, धारणा और वासना आदि विषयों पर कदाचित् ही कोई ग्रंथ हो जिसमें ‘योग वासिष्ठ’ की अपेक्षा अधिक गंभीर चिंतन तथा सूक्ष्म विश्लेषण हुआ हो। अनेक ऋषि-मुनियों के अनुभवों के साथ-साथ अनगिनत मनोहारी कथाओं के संयोजन से इस ग्रंथ का महत्त्व और भी बढ़ जाता है। स्वामी वेंकटेसानन्द जी का मत है कि इस ग्रंथ का थोड़ा-थोड़ा नियमित रूप से पाठ करना चाहिए। उन्होंने पाठकों के लिए 365 पाठों की माला बनाई है। प्रतिदिन एक पाठ पढ़ा जाए। पाँच मिनट से अधिक समय नहीं लगेगा। व्यस्तता तथा आपाधापी में उलझा व्यक्ति भी प्रतिदिन पाँच मिनट का समय इसके लिए निकाल सकता है। स्वामी जी का तो यहाँ तक कहना है कि बिना इस ग्रंथ के अभी या कभी कोई आत्मज्ञान प्राप्त नहीं कर सकता। स्वामी जी ने इस ग्रंथ का सार प्रस्तुत करते हुए कहा है कि बिना अपने को जाने मोक्ष प्राप्त नहीं हो सकता। मोक्ष प्राप्त करने का एक ही मार्ग है आत्मानुसंधान। आत्मानुसंधान में लगे अनेक संतों तथा महापुरुषों के क्रियाकलापों का विलक्षण वर्णन आपको इस ग्रंथ में मिलेगा। प्रस्तुत अनुवाद स्वामी वेंकटेसानन्द द्वारा किए गए ‘योग वासिष्ठ’ के अंग्रेजी अनुवाद ‘सुप्रीम योग’ का हिन्दी रूपांतरण है जिसे विख्यात भाषाविद् और विद्वान बदरीनाथ कपूर ने किया है। स्वामी जी का अंग्रेजी अनुवाद 1972 में पहली बार छपा था जो निश्चय ही चिंतन, अभिव्यक्ति और प्रस्तुति की दृष्टि से अनुपम है। लेकिन विदेश में छपने के कारण यह भारतीय पाठकों के समीप कम ही पहुँच पाया। आशा है, यह अनुवाद उस दूरी को कम करेगा, और हिन्दी पाठक इस महत्त्वपूर्ण पुस्तक का लाभ उठा पाएँगे।

Yoga: The Greater Tradition
by David FrawleyYoga: the Greater Tradition introduces the reader to the greater universe of Yoga and to the principles that animate this rich tradition. Yoga, according to its Indian origins, is not just a physical practice but an ancient and comprehensive sacred science of right living and higher awareness. This holistic practice encompasses physical health and well-being, psychological and emotional harmony, and general balance in life. More importantly, Yoga is a spiritual quest to know the inner truth of the universe - the Divine, God, the Absolute or whatever other name one may use to refer to this highest value. Providing an overview of this traditional way of life, Yoga: The Greater Tradition is a primer for all thoughtful readers interested in embarking on this spiritual quest.
Yoga: Discipline of Freedom
by Barbara MillerDating from about the third century A.D., the Yoga Sutra distills the essence of the physical and spiritual discipline of yoga into fewer than two hundred brief aphorisms. It is the core text for any study of meditative practice, revered for centuries for its brilliant analysis of mental states and of the process by which inner liberation is achieved. Yet its difficulties are legendary, and until now, no translation has made it fully accessible. This new translation, hailed by Yoga Journal for its "unsurpassed readability," is by one of the leading Sanskrit scholars of our time, whose Bhagavad Gita has become a recognized classic. It includes an introduction to the philosophy and psychology underlying the Yoga Sutra, the full text with explanatory commentary, and a glossary of key terms in Sanskrit and English.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Yoga and the Art of Mudras
by Teixeira NubiaA unique yoga guide that fuses traditional asana with mudra and storytelling from the bhakti yoga traditionYoga and the Art of Mudras is a guided journey into the alchemy of asana (yoga pose) and mudra (symbolic hand gesture). Brazilian-born yogini, dancer, and author Nubia Teixeira has been practicing and teaching traditional yoga and classical Indian Odissi dance for over twenty-six years. In this book, she fuses her passion for yoga and dance with her love for bhakti (devotion). In so doing, she has created a unique and contemporary yoga system that encompasses all three healing arts. Through beautiful photographs of each yoga pose, Nubia guides the reader in a meaningful union of hand gestures with asanas. Drawing, in particular, on expressions and hand gestures found in Indian dance, these newly developed poses will help transform a person&’s hatha yoga practice into an embodied devotional and artistic yogic experience. Nubia&’s yoga-mudra system combines expressions that are deeply rooted in the heart of traditional yoga, classical Indian Odissi dance, and inspirational bhakti yoga storytelling. Honoring the gifts of all three systems, Nubia Teixeira shares a didactic, beautiful, and truly original voyage into the heart of devotional yoga practice.
