Free Download Celia E. Rothenberg, "Serious Fun at a Jewish Community Summer Camp: Family, Judaism, and Israel"
English | ISBN: 1498540775 | 2016 | 144 pages | EPUB | 23 MB
Unique in the literature on Jewish camping, this book provides an in-depth study of a community-based, residential summer camp that serves Jewish children from primarily rural areas. Focused on Camp Ben Frankel (CBF), established in 1950 in southern Illinois, this book focuses on how a pluralist Jewish camp constructs meaningful experiences of Jewish "family" and Judaism for campers-and teaches them about Israel. Inspired by models of the earliest camps established for Jewish children in urban areas, CBF’s founders worked to create a camp that would appeal to the rural, often isolated Jewish families in its catchment area. Although seemingly on the periphery of American Jewish life, CBF staff and campers are revealed to be deeply entwined with national developments in Jewish culture and practice and, indeed, contributors to shaping them. This research highlights the importance of campers’ experiences of traditional elements of the Jewish "family" (an experience increasingly limited to time at camp), as well as the overarching importance of song.

Free Download Robert Hanning, "Serious Play: Desire and Authority in the Poetry of Ovid, Chaucer, and Ariosto"
English | 2010 | pages: 312 | ISBN: 0231152108 | EPUB | 2,2 mb
Ovid, Chaucer, and Ariosto, premodern Europe’s three greatest comic poets, found abundant cause for laughter in the foibles and follies of human desire. Yet they also excelled at the dangerous game of skewering the elites on whom they depended for patronage. The resulting depictions of addled lovers and rattled rulers create a unique dynamic of trenchant critique wrapped in amusing, enlightening, and disturbing fantasy, an achievement hailed as serio ludere, serious play, by Renaissance theorists.

Free Download J.H. Overton, "A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life"
English | 2013 | pages: 336 | ISBN: 048649800X | EPUB | 0,9 mb
This examination of the Christian life constitutes one of the most remarkable books of devotion ever written. William Law’s book dates from 1728, a decade before England’s great evangelical revival, during which it exercised a significant influence on the movement’s leaders. A Serious Call has been praised by readers as varied as Samuel Johnson, Edward Gibbon, and John Wesley. "If Mr. Law finds a spark of piety in a reader’s mind, he will soon kindle it into a flame," declared Gibbon, and Wesley pronounced Law’s work as one of the books that formed his "explicit resolve to be all devoted to God."
