Jerusalem Curiosities

Publisher: Jewish Publication Society
Release Date: 1990
Jerusalem is a holy city for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. It is a city of strange contradictions and astonishing curiosities. This book seeks to help readers grasp Jerusalem’s unique role in the history of mankind, as it charts the “curiosities” of the city—not to be confused with “trivia” about the city—through the centuries, and right up to the late 20th century.
Anti-Semitism and Its Metaphysical Origins

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2015-02-09
This book articulates a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of Jew hatred as a metaphysical aspect of the human soul. Proceeding from the Jewish thinking that the anti-Semites oppose, David Patterson argues that anti-Semitism arises from the most ancient of temptations, the temptation to be as God, and thus to flee from an absolute accountability to and for the other human being.
