In Personal Effects, Holdstein and Bleich compile a volume that cuts across the grain of current orthodoxy. These editors and contributors argue that it is fundamental in humanistic scholarship to take account of the personal and collective experiences of scholars, researchers, critics, and teachers. With this volume, then, these scholars move us to explore the intersections of the social with subjectivity, with voice, ideology, and culture, and to consider the roles of these in the work of academics who study writing and literature. Taken together, the essays in this collection carry forward the idea that the personal, the candidly subjective and intersubjective, must be part of the subject of study in humanities scholarship. They propose an understanding of the personal in scholarship that is more helpful because more clearly anchored in human experience.

"Abraham Sutzkever is the greatest living poet in Yiddish, and one of the great poets of the twentieth century. Born in Smargon, near Vilna, in 1913, Sutzkever entered the world of Yiddish literature in the 1930s, with his first book, simply titled Lider (Poems). It was immediately recognized that he was a poet whose personality, world-view, and approach to image, sound and rhythm were unique and original. His poetry is full of love of nature and love of beauty; it deals too with the mystery of creation and the secrets of the cosmos. He was tempered by the fires of the Holocaust, during which he lost nearly all of his family, and during which he fought as a partisan in the forest near Vilna. he became a poetic witness to the Jewish people's suffering and destruction; his Holocaust poems are distinguished by their personal dimension and intimacy. Since his emigration to Israel in 1947, Sutzkever has become the poetic symbol of Jewish revival and the standard-bearer of Yiddish literature in Israel and the rest of the world; he is the editor of Di Goldene Keyt, the world's pre-eminent Yiddish literary journal." "In the present volume, Sutzkever deals with a broad range of subjects, from childhood to mature love to the beauties of nature to the Holocaust. His unique poetic presence is clearly palpable in these poems, written in deceptively simple but highly evocative language. Though a translation never quite renders the full impact of the original, enough shines through to the English reader to provide a sense of its greatness."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The e-book edition does not include the audio CD that's included with the paperback edition. The most authoritative guide on cantillation. Joshua Jacobson?s masterpiece?the comprehensive 1000-page guide to cantillation?is now available in this e-book edition. It is an ideal instructional guide for adult and young-adult students of Torah, for b?nai mitzvah students, and for cantors, rabbis, and Jewish educators of all denominations. Like the original edition, it includes an explanation of the tradition and a description of the practice of chanting, with all its regional variations and grammatical rules. There is detailed instruction, with musical notation, on chanting of Torah, and shorter instructions for chanting the haftarah, the megillot, and readings for the High Holy Days. Joshua Jacobson, professor of music and conductor of the acclaimed Boston-based Zamir Chorale, has been Torah chanting since he was 10 years old. That life-long experience, combined with an unquenchable desire to reconnect the art of cantillation with the most convincing and accurate treatment of the ancient text possible, led him to create this indispensable teaching tool. Using Jacobson?s highly acclaimed approach, the ancient words come alive in a new, deeply emotional and most accurate way.
