Jewish Holidays, Jewish Values invites students to explore Jewish values through the lens of our holiday traditions and stories. Following the calendar year, each of the ten chapters focuses on a Jewish holiday or period of holidays, and explores one or two Jewish values through the rituals and themes of that holiday. For example, the traditions of Hanukkah and the story of the Maccabees are used as a discussion starter for the Jewish value of gevurah (courage). The chapter on Shabbat is used to explore the value of shalom (peace). By showing how these values are rooted in the Jewish holidays, students will be able make connections between their Jewish traditions and their everyday lives.

Passport to Heaven (RLE Women and Religion): Gender Roles in the Unification Church (Routledge Library Editions: Women and Religion)

This book focuses on the gender roles within the Unification Church, and on particularly the gender roles as expressed through the vows of marriage. It examines the more widely shared patriarchal assumptions about women in a circumscribed socio-religious environment, with the Church’s gender role system being investigated largely on the level of its theological explanations for gender roles. The Church’s ethos, its lived reality, is also examined, and for this many interviews have been conducted with the ‘blessed’, the married couples. First published in 1992.
