The screaming continued. It barraged his ears, the loudest, most horrifying noise he could ever remember hearing. A shower of electrical sparks rained down on him from the garage door opener, but the door stubbornly remained wide open. Then a break in the bullets, the weapons fire, the explosions of drywall dust. Followed by a new burst of shots, but through suppressors, from farther out in the street.

This book explores a central phenomenon in the development of modern Jewish literature: the retelling of tradtional Jewish narratives by twentieth-century writers. It shows how and toward what ends Biblical stories, legends, and Hasidic tales have been used in shaping modern Hebrew literature. The author's impressive knowledge and careful analysis of both early and modern Hebrew texts reveal the main literary features of the genre, while making an important contribution to current discussions of the relationship between midrash and literature, the relationship between myth (and other traditional narratives) and modern literature, and the concept of intertextuality. The book also provides many fresh insights on the various issues of modern Jewish existence addressed in these works. Among these are: the revival of the Jewish tradition by reinterpreting it in light of new values, the preservation of Jewish identity entering into Western culture, the changing roles of men and women in Jewish culture, challenges to traditional Jewish views of sexuality, attempts to physically destroy the Jewish people, moral and political issues raised by the establishment of the State of Israel, and the conflict between Jews and Arabs.

What if everything you believed to be true turned out to be a lie? And everything you thought to be legend and myth was entirely real? Anna's life continues to worsen. The lives of her new acquaintances fall into deadly peril. Her parents battle each other from behind walls of bitterness and sorrow yet seek each other from within their desperate loneliness. Terrorists have attacked and blown up Jeremie's bus. David and Hannah fight to rescue him from a fiery, smoky death. News of the attack unnerves daddy such as she has never seen. Only Miriam knows why he is so disconcerted at the news, yet she battles her own mortality as her deteriorating illness becomes evident to the other team members. While the others study the Book of Shem and the Shofar of Abel, and no one is watching, Evie colors a picture that changes the direction of the entire mission-a vision from her Father. They venture into the ancient wilderness of Midian in search of the stick Yahweh gave to Adam. The Staff passed down through the Patriarchs. The Staff by which Moshe led the Israelites from captivity in Egypt. The Staff that parted the Red Sea. The Staff that brought water from the rock. The Staff that, according to legend, contains the information the team requires to complete their mission: save Karen, Anna's best friend. Anna and Evie are pushed to their limits in the continuing adventure to discover the true power, glory, and majesty of the Father and how a simple Staff of wood could change the entire world.

Ancient stories invoking contemporary questions and providing insight for an uncertain future The Road to Kingship is the second volume in the A People and a Land trilogy and presents a chapter-by-chapter interpretation of 1–2 Samuel, based on the author’s translation. Johanna van Wijk-Bos reacquaints readers with familiar stories like David and Goliath while also introducing them to lesser-known biblical personalities like Doeg the Edomite and the wily servant Ziba. She offers guidance along the path taken by the Israelites during the rise of the united monarchy. The books of Samuel unfold before us with multiple voices. One voice endorses a spontaneous charismatic form of leadership, alongside another that argues for hereditary kingship. In listening to the different voices, we will prefer some rather than others; we may turn our backs on texts that sing a melody we are no longer able to join. As readers, we enter into the text with our questions and in our very questioning tentatively find a way forward and draw closer to the presence of the Most Holy.
