BOOK
Ein Yaakov: The Ethical and Inspirational Teachings of the Talmud
Rabbi Yaakov ibn Chaviv
$71.95

About this product:
Aggadah is the non-legal part of the Talmud. Scattered among the more than 2700 pages of the Talmud, the majority of which deal with the legal intricacies of halachah (Jewish law), aggadah focuses on the ethical and inspirational aspects of the Torah way of life. While halachah appeals to the intellect, aggadah touches the heart and rouses emotions. It is a vast reservoir of Torah thought, logic, and wisdom. Through a wealth of homilies, anecdotes, allegories, pithy sayings, and interpretations of biblical verses, it has been said that aggadah brings you closer to God and His Torah. As the Sages put it, "If you want to become acquainted with your Creator, you should go and learn aggadah. If you do, you will get to know the Holy One, blessed be He, and cling to His ways."

As you study aggadah you stand in awe of the profound wisdom of the Sages of the Talmud. Every sphere of life is touched upon, from ethics to astronomy, from mysticism to marriage to medicine. Their insight into the human psyche is truly breathtaking. When they discuss life's inevitable problems, its joys and tragedies, you sense that they are addressing you personally. When they offer guidelines for constructing a proper life, their ancient words are as relevant today as they were when they were spoken eons ago. You are told in dry categorical fashion what your duties to your Creator are. You actively participate in the thought processes that led to them. Phrases like, "From where do we know?" "On what essential point do they disagree?" and "But what is the reason?" abound on every page of the Talmud. This is what makes the study of Talmud so invigorating and animated.

Aggadah tells us a great deal about the lives of the Sages, and fascinating stories they are. The rabbis are vibrantly alive as they expound, and encourage the downtrodden, negotiate with Roman emperors and generals, and help the poor, the sick, and the oppressed. These anecdotes are intended to show that the Sages were not just thinkers and philosophers but saintly individuals whose qualities we should try to emulate.

By studying Ein Yaakov, you become a member of the vast legion of students of the Talmud that spans the globe and the centuries. You will surely enjoy the exhilaration of learning aggadah, the inspirational part of the Talmud, and you will feel richly rewarded by it.

BOOK
How to Design Your Own Clothes and Make Your Own Patterns.
Claudia Ein
$25.00

About this product:
I was disappointed in this book. It is really a big book on how to modify commercial patterns. It does NOT show you how to take measurements and make your own patterns or slopers.

BOOK
Literatur Eins
Robert Spaethling
$30.00

About this product:
When I first studied German, I am certain I experienced the same frustration as many first-year German students -- how many times can you translate banal statements such as, 'I come from England' and 'I study in America' and retain any interest?

Fortunately, we quickly graduated from such simple mechanics exercises to doing actual reading, and that is where 'Literature Eins' was introduced. This is a good, diverse collection of pieces of German literature, not rewritten, not watered down, but actual German literary pieces selected for ease and interest. The editors Spaethling and Weber selected poems, short stories, fairy tales, and plays that had constructions easy enough for fairly beginning German study, but also authentic enough and interesting enough to give the students a sense of really mastering some of the language.

Included in this collection are writings from the Brothers Grimm, Peter Bichsel, Bertolt Brecht, Franz Kafka, and Friedrich Durrenmatt (Der Doppelganger). The part on poems includes good pieces form Goethe, Heine, and Hesse.

Each chapter includes an English introduction to the pieces, side-glossary entries to save thumbing-to-the-back time, and lots of exercises. The exercises run the whole range of types -- fill in the blank, construction of sentence, translation from English, short answer in German, conversation patterns. This book is intended not only to give the student a reading knowledge of German, but a conversational ability in German based on the literature selections. The selections are arranged from easiest to hardest; the editors suggest that memorising a poem is also a good exercise, and the concluding section of poems has many good possibilities.

This is a good book with which to learn German (accompanied by a good grammar), or reacquaint oneself with German.
