The next video to a series about the jewish Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha books. This video offers a brief explanation of the Apocryphal & Pseudepigraphal Books In Christian Scripture.

During the birth of Christianity, some of the Jewish apocrypha that dealt with the coming of the Messianic kingdom became popular in the rising jewish-Christian communities. Occasionally these writings were changed or added to, but on the whole it was found sufficient to reinterpret them as conforming to a Christian viewpoint. Christianity eventually gave birth to new apocalyptic works, some of which were derived from traditional Jewish sources. Some of the Jewish apocrypha were part of the ordinary religious literature of the early Christians.

What are good books that have Jewish main characters / "jewish themed" books? I’m Jewish and I just want some good books to read during winter break. What are your suggestions?
I’m 16 years old

Hi Hannah (the Jewish Princess)

What age-range are you looking for?

A classic, no matter what age, I would say is Number the Stars by Lois Lowry (http://www.loislowry.com/number_stars.html) I’m sure you know it, but if you haven’t heard of it I’ll cut and paste a short synapsis:

"How brave are you, little Annemarie?" Uncle Henrik asks his ten-year-old niece. It is 1943, and to Annemarie Johansen, life in Copenhagen is a complicated mix of ordinary home and school life, food shortages, and the constant presence of Nazi soldiers. Bravery seems a vague virtue, one possessed by dragon-slaying knights in the bedtime stories she tells her younger sister, Kirsti. Too soon, she herself is called upon for courage.

As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, the Johansens take in Annemarie’s best friend, Ellen Rosen, and pretend she is part of the family. Ellen and Annemarie must think quickly when three Nazi officers arrive late one night and question why Ellen is not blond, like her sisters.

Through Annemarie’s eyes, we see the Danish Resistance as they manage to smuggle almost the entire jewish population, nearly 7000 people, across the sea to Sweden. In this tale of an entire nation’s heroism, Lois Lowry reminds us that there is pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war.

For more sophisticated books that will last longer than two or three days a good source of books is http://www.eichlers.com/ where you could look up some interesting titles, then go to http://www.amazon.com to maybe read a few pages to see if you like it.

I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll love!

Good luck!

Is it the same as going up to J.K. Rowling and telling her that your interpretation of the Harry Potter books is better than hers?

I think it is supremely arrogant for anyone to impose their interpretation of anything onto anyone else. There is nothing wrong,however, in studying, and living by your own interpretations.
And btw, your example of J.K. Rowling, is not a good one. I’ve been to a number of events where authors speak, and take questions from the audience. A good number of them are interested in hearing how the readers interpret their work.
Peace and Namaste!
