Rabbi Amy Eilberg was not fazed by conquering both in her book From Enemy To Friend: Jewish Wisdom and the Pursuit of Peace. Rabbi Eilberg first decided to write her book on conflicts between faiths when she noticed her synagogue fighting ferociously about the events going on between Israel and Palestine, both in person and on a listserve. Horrified at how her peers were discussing the tragedy, she…

It is an undeniable aspect of human nature to wonder at – and even dream of possessing – the life styles of the fabulously rich. In his “WINTER DREAMS” F. Scott Fitzgerald, an outsider to that class and a wonderer himself, reminds us to be careful for what we wish. All is not necessarily what it seems behind those golden portals. Dexter Green, Fitzgerald’s dreamer, by name and talent – unlike his more famous and mysterious brother in fiction, Jay Gatsby – is certainly dexterous at working…

‘It seems that poems about the break-up of love are much more common than those which extol its joys, poems that give a fairly bleak picture of love and reflect on relationships that for one reason or another are at an end’ [Croft, 2000:71]. The aim of this essay is to compare and contrast Michael Drayton’s ‘The Parting’ (c. 1593), Lord Byron’s ‘When We Two Parted’ (1815) and Letitia Elizabeth Landon’s ‘Love’s Last Lesson’ (c.1838) paying close attention to the prevalent themes of the loss of a…

The film uses powerful imagery of Hitler himself and adoring crowds to emphasize his deity like leadership and the people’s love for him.

As to his wife’s name and/or proof of any other…

The tickling heat of his breath lingers on her neck for longer than she would have liked. She’s not used to that sensation anymore, to the feeling of being hugged by muscular arms, pressed against a flat chest. She’s not used to the Spanish words murmured in a baritone, gruff inflection. The once familiar sensation of his stubble tickling her cheek is almost unpleasant now, and Costia can’t prevent a grimace of discomfort from clouding her face for a moment. They loosen the hug and she looks…
