Trade paperback. Condition: Good. x, 277 pages. Footnotes. Tabular Data. Appendices. Maps. Selected Bibliography, Index. The cover has some wear and soiling. Sticker residue on front cover. Prepared under the auspices of the American Academic Association for Peace in the Middle East. Michael Curtis is a Distinguished Professor E…meritus of political science at Rutgers University. He is highly regarded as an expert in several fields--political theory, comparative government, European politics and the Middle East. An activist as well as a scholar, he has served as the president of American Professors for Peace in the Middle East and editor of the Middle East Review. Joseph Neyer was a long-serving professor at Rutgers (from 1947-1989). He was chair from 1953 to 1965, a key period in the department's history as Rutgers was transitioning from its private college roots to officially becoming the State University of New Jersey in 1956. Neyer had wide-ranging interests, but was particularly interested in the search for peace in the Middle East and the work of Emile Durkheim. Chaim Isaac Waxman (born February 26, 1941) is an American sociologist now living in Israel. He is the Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Rutgers University and a Senior Fellow at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. This work is the first major compendium to both document and explain the Palestinian people and their demands. It is an authoritative collection delving deeply into the complexities and ramifications of the central problem in the Middle East conflict. Prepared by specialists in the field of Middle Eastern affairs, the work covers Jews and Arabs in Palestine in a historical context, followed by discussion of the sociological and political aspects of Palestinian Arab nationalism. The volume also offers a balanced appraisal of Israeli views of the Palestinian problem and materials covering the guerrilla and political programs of the Palestinians. This work is a fundamental contribution to the study of terrorism in a modern context. Completing the volume are a series of maps, charts, and listings of terrorists acts. Presumed First Paperback Edition, First printing.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Printing [Stated]. xx, 153, [3] pages. Footnotes. Preface by Waxman, a list of Contributors, and an Index. Includes chapters on A View from the Fleshpots; Does Place Make a Difference?; The Obligation of Aliyah and the Prohibition of leaving Israel in the Contemporary Era; A Central Rabbini…c Authority: Costs and Tradeoffs; The Israeli Chief Rabbinate: A Current Halakhic Perspective. This is one of The Oxford Forum Series, A Project of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, An affiliate of Yeshiva University. The authors of the essays perceive the State of Israel as having halakhic significance for all of Judaism and Jewry. These leading thinkers from the disciplines of Halakhah, Israeli law, the social sciences, and philosophy consider such issues as the mitzvah of making aliyah--moving to Israel--and the prohibition against leaving the Holy Land; how religious Zionists face up theologically to living in Galut--the Diaspora. The contributors to this volume were participants in the Orthodox Forum, an annual gathering of scholars who meet to consider major issues of concern to the Jewish community. Chaim Isaac Waxman (born February 26, 1941) is an American sociologist. Waxman received his B.A. in sociology from Yeshiva University. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from The New School for Social Research. He was a Senior Fellow at the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute in Jerusalem until 2009. He is a Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Rutgers University. Waxman served as the president of the Association for the Social Scientific Study of Jewry from 1979 to 1981. The creation of the State of Israel has dramatically affected the status and self-identity of Jews around the world. For religious Jews, Israel has a special dimension as a religious reality. Israel is not simply a secular, sociopolitical entity that is important because it is a Jewish state. It is also the land promised to the Jewish people by God in the Torah itself. The authors of the essays in Israel as a Religious Reality perceive the State of Israel as having halakhic significance for all of Judaism and Jewry. These leading thinkers from the disciplines of halakhah, Israeli law, the social sciences, and philosophy consider such issues as the mitzvah of making aliyah - moving to Israel - and the prohibition against leaving the Holy Land; how religious Zionists face up theologically to living in Galut - the Diaspora; for observant Jewry, the advantages and disadvantages of a central rabbinic authority; the halakhic status and authority of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel; and the extent to which Orthodox Jews view their religious realities differently, depending on whether they live in Israel or in the Diaspora. According to the editor, Dr. Chaim Waxman, "The conference papers upon which the essays in this volume are based inspired much thought and valuable discussion. It is hoped that in their revised form, for this volume, they will reach an even wider audience and help stimulate new religious Zionist thought and action in the American Orthodox community as well as those worldwide." The contributors to this volume were participants in the Orthodox Forum, an annual gathering of scholars who meet to consider major issues of concern to the Jewish community. Very Good (some sticker residue on the back panel). Bill Aron (Cover photograph) (illustrator).

This is one of The Orthodox Forum Series, A Project of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, An Affiliate of Yeshiva University. Professor David Shatz is the Ronald P. Stanton University Professor of Philosophy, Ethics, and Religious Thought, editor of The Torah u-Madda Journal, and editor of the MeOtzar HoRav series, devoted to publishing manuscripts of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. After graduating as valedictorian of Yeshiva College, Professor Shatz was ordained at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary and earned his Ph.D. with distinction in general philosophy from Columbia University. He has edited, co-edited, or authored 16 books and over 90 articles and reviews on general and Jewish philosophy. His work in general philosophy focuses on the theory of knowledge, free will, ethics, and the philosophy of religion, while his work in Jewish philosophy focuses on Jewish ethics, Maimonides, Judaism and science, and twentieth century rabbinic figures. Chaim Isaac Waxman (born February 26, 1941) is an American sociologist. Waxman received his B.A. in sociology from Yeshiva University. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from The New School for Social Research. He was a Senior Fellow at the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute in Jerusalem until March 1, 2009. He is a Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Rutgers University. Nathan J. Diament is the Executive Director for the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center, where he develops and coordinates public policy research and initiatives on behalf of the traditional Jewish community. Nathan has testified before congressional committees and works closely with members of both political parties to craft legislation addressing religious liberty issues, education reform, family friendly social policies and life issues. In 2009, Nathan was appointed by President Obama to serve as one of 25 members of the President's Faith Advisory Council. In 2019, the Department of Homeland Security appointed him to its new, 11-person Subcommittee for the Prevention of Targeted Violence Against Faith-Based Communities. He is a co-editor of Tikkun Olam: Social Responsibility in Jewish Thought and Law and the author of articles and essays on issues including religion and state, constitutional law, social policy and international affairs. He is an honors graduate of Yeshiva University and the Harvard Law School. The notion that Jews not only have a message for their surrounding cultures but are obliged to convey it to their host societies and the world at large is indeed echoed by several distinguished figures of the past two centuries who advocated the integration of Judaism and culture. Jason Aronson, Inc. Publishers, founded by its namesake Dr. Jason Aronson (an American psychologist), was acquired by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. in December 2003, and since then it has operated as an imprint. Prior to 2005, Jason Aronson also released new books in the field of Jewish studies. These included titles covering Jewish life, history, theology, genealogy, folklore, holidays, and Hasidic thought. Though they no longer carry the Jason Aronson name, new books of Jewish interest are still published by The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group today under their other imprints, including Rowman & Littlefield and Lexington Books.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [10], 397 pages. Previous owner's address label on fep. The dust jacket has some wear, soiling and tears and creases at the back. Provides extended essays which discuss "the most significant arguments in the debate over the soci…al role of ideology, and to that end he has drawn on the writings of the nation's leading sociologists and political scientists." Among the contributors are: Raymond Aron, Seymour Martin Lipset, Daniel Bell, Irving Kristol, C. Wright Mills, William Delany, Michael Harriman, and Steven Kelman. Chaim Isaac Waxman (born February 26, 1941) is an American sociologist now living in Israel. He is the Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Rutgers University and a Senior Fellow at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. Waxman received a B.A. in sociology from Yeshiva University in 1963. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from The New School for Social Research. He was a Senior Fellow at the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute in Jerusalem until March 1, 2009. He is a Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Rutgers University. Waxman served as the president of the Association for the Social Scientific Study of Jewry (ASSJ) from 1979 to 1981. The essays and articles in this book constitute, in the main, a debate that began during the early 1950s and continues, to some extent, to this day. The purpose of presenting them in a single volume is for a clarification of positions with the hope that each side will gain some appreciation of the other, and that end-of-ideology debate will not congeal into a war of two dogmatically rigid ideologies. The papers are presented more or less in the order in which they were originally published because part of their flavor derives from the time during which they were written.
