Written for a general audience, the essays collected here present refreshing and often humorous glimpses of various topics in Jewish history and traditional religious literature. Inspired by the diversity of Jewish thought, author and scholar Eliezer Segal sheds light on the social and political forces that have brought the Jewish community together in the past and still speak with familiarity to a modern western culture. Enlightening and entertaining, Professor Segal's writing is a rare blend of scholarship and wit, highlighting contemporary experiences that bring the rich heritage of Jewish civilization to life for the everyday reader. With an extensive and broad knowledge of ancient and medieval Jewish social and religious traditions, Segal deftly crafts anecdotes and explanations that address the tribulations of contemporary life. From topics as diverse as panhandling, tennis, vampires, and the history of the tomato to themes as universal as weddings, charity, and taxation, the essays presented here, some for the first time in English, all include detailed notes on sources for further reading. Equally suited to those after a light-hearted romp or those on a serious quest for knowledge, Ask Now of the Days that Are Past is sure to satisfy anyone who has ever wondered how the past still influences us today.

The Book of the Pomegranate is a Hebrew edition of an important work by the Spanish kabbalist Moses de Leon (ca. 1240-1305). Sefer Ha-Rimmon, which was written in 1287, is particularly significant for study of the Zohar and the development of a theory of the commandment (mitzvot) and why one should do them.

This study seeks to uncover Tractate Peah's meaning by explaining its laws as they were understood by their authors around 200 C.E. Brooks offers both a new translation of the tractate as well as a commentary and study of it, throwing light on both the individual parts of the Mishnah and the general outlook embedded in the tractate as a whole. The study takes both a diachronic and synchronic approach, allowing us to see how the framers of the Mishnah understood their biblical heritage in light of their own contemporary situation.

L'Europe a-t-elle eu le monopole de la Renaissance ? Pour répondre à cette question, le célèbre anthropologue de Cambridge mène une enquête d'une profondeur peu commune depuis le monde islamique jusqu'à la Chine en passant par le judaïsme et l'Inde. Cette approche comparée et globale aboutit à des conclusions inédites : toutes les sociétés à écriture connaissent des retours au passé qui peuvent constituer autant de bonds en avant, que ce soit dans le domaine des arts ou celui des sciences. Pourtant, il y a bien une singularité de la Renaissance européenne, mais celle-ci a peu de chose à voir avec le récit enchanté qu'on en fait habituellement. Jack Goody écrit ici un chapitre essentiel, salué par Peter Burke, d'une histoire émancipée de tout eurocentrisme qui constitue le prolongement indispensable d'une réflexion entamée dans Le Vol de l'histoire. Si la qualité d'un livre se définit moins par sa capacité à susciter une adhésion aussi immédiate que béate que par son pouvoir de faire réfléchir ses lecteurs, alors il ne fait nul doute que celle de Renaissances est très grande.

In Out of the Shtetl: Making Jews Modern in the Polish Borderlands, Nancy Sinkoff examines some of the thinkers, particularly Mendel Lefin and Joseph Perl, who as part of the Jewish Enlightenment movement (Haskalah) of the nineteenth century attempted to articulate a vision and plan for how the Jews of Eastern Europe could become modern while remaining Jews. The book contains a new preface by the author.
