Service Books of the Orthodox Church
Expand Messages
- Since we are always talking about how the services of the Church speak to
her theology (lex orandi est lex credendi) I thought it might be useful to
provide a few resources on the services of the Orthodox Church. Of course,
nothing replaces actually attending the services and understanding the
actions that take place with and alongside these texts (Byzantine liturgical
rubrics are, as would be expected, byzantine and notoriously difficult to
comprehend; so the bare texts aren't all that helpful in understanding how a
service is to be structured apart from experience in the services and what
basically amounts to an apprenticeship in the choir or with a priest - and
even they get confused when things depart from the normal week to week
Here is a one stop shop representing the practice of the Russian Orthodox
churches in the US around the turn of the 20th Century produced with the
approval of St. Tikhon, later Patriarch of Moscow and martyr:
*Service Book of the Holy Orthodox-Catholic Apostolic (Greco-Russian) Church
Translated and Compiled by Isabel Florence Hapgood
Published by Houghton, Mifflin and company, 1906
615 pages
Here is a fuller, modern translation of most of the regular liturgical texts
of the Orthodox Church - more generally representing Greek practice -
translated by Archimandrite Ephrem Lash of Manchester, UK and posted to his
Anastasis <http://anastasis.org.uk/liturgic.htm>
>The Horologion is the basic outline of the services from the POV of the
> Paraklitiki <http://anastasis.org.uk/oktoich.htm>
> Triodion <http://anastasis.org.uk/triodion.htm>
> Pentecostarion <http://anastasis.org.uk/pentecos.htm>
> Menaion <http://anastasis.org.uk/menaion.htm>
> Horologion <http://anastasis.org.uk/horologion.htm>
> Euchologion <http://anastasis.org.uk/eucholog.htm>
> Lectionary <http://anastasis.org.uk/lectionary.htm>
laity and choir (excluded the more detailed instructions and prayers for
priests and bishops) ans is likely the most useful for understanding the
services. An explanation of a couple of these books:
The Horologion is the book which serves as the basic guide for readers and
> chanters in the cliros. The Horologion contains the unchanging parts of alland,
> the daily services, except for the Liturgy. The Book of Needs is the book
> which includes the order of services for the various Mysteries, except for
> the Mysteries of Holy Communion and Ordination. Other services included in
> the Book of Needs are the Order of Burial of the Reposed, the Order of
> Blessing of Water, the Prayers for the Birth of a Child, the Naming of a
> Child and his "Churching," as well as blessings for other occasions.
> The Octoechos, or Book of the Eight Tones [*Paraklitiki*], contains all
> the hymns in the form of verses, troparia, kontakia, canons, and so forth.
> They are divided into eight groups of melodies, or "tones." Each tone
> contains the hymnody for an entire week, so that the complete Octoechos is
> repeated every eight weeks throughout most of the year. The arrangement of
> ecclesiastical chanting into tones was entirely the work of the famous
> hymnographer of the Byzantine Church, St. John of Damascus (eighth century).
> The text of the Octoechos is ascribed to him, although one should note that
> many parts of it are the work of St. Metrophanes, bishop of Smyrna, St.
> Joseph the Hymnographer, and others over the centuries.
> The Monthly Menaion contains the prayers and hymns in honor of the saints
> for each day of the year, as well as the solemn festival services for the
> feasts of the Lord and the Theotokos which fall on fixed calendar dates.
> Following the number of months, it is divided into twelve volumes.
> The General Menaion contains the hymnography common to an entire category
> of saints, for example, in honor of prophets, or apostles, or martyrs, or
> monastics. It is used when a special service to a particular saint is not
> available.
> The Festal Menaion contains all the services for the immovable great
> feasts, as extracted from the Monthly Menaion.
> The Lenten Triodion contains all the special parts of the services for the
> course of the Great Fast prior to Pascha. It also contains the Sunday
> services before Pascha, beginning with the Sunday of the Publican and the
> Pharisee. The Lenten Triodion derives its name from the Greek word "triod,"
> which means tri-hymned. This is because in the usual services, there are
> nine odes, based on nine great hymns from the Old and New Testament.
> However, for each day of the Fast the canons chanted do not comprise the
> usual nine, but only three.
> The Pentecostarion contains the hymnography used from the feast of Holy
> Pascha through the first Sunday after Pentecost, the Sunday of All Saints.
> http://www.orthodoxphotos.com/readings/divine/divine.shtml
> The Greek word ���������� literally means "book of prayers." The Slavonic
> word *Trebnik* literally means "book of needs." This type of service book
> varies widely in contents and arrangements. The most comprehensive edition
> is the ���������� �� ���� or *Great Euchologion* contains the prayers of
> the priest <http://orthodoxwiki.org/Priest>, deacon<http://orthodoxwiki.org/Deacon>,
> and reader <http://orthodoxwiki.org/Reader> for Vespers<http://orthodoxwiki.org/Vespers>,
> Orthros <http://orthodoxwiki.org/Orthros>, and the Divine Liturgy; the six
> remaining sacraments, and other services of blessings (which in the west are
> often referred to as *sacramentals*).
> The Slavonic Great Book of Needs consists of two parts:
> 1. The sacraments and other sacred rites, which accompany a man from
> birth and counsels him at his departure into eternity.
> 2. Short prayers for various needs. There is also a calendar and the
> "Alphabetic Classification of Names," the latter being a list of Christian
> names.
> There are also a variety of more concise editions, that contain only the
> most commonly done of these services. These texts are often called the *Small
> Euchologion* (*mikron euchologion*), and usually contains the forms for
> the mysteries (sacraments <http://orthodoxwiki.org/Sacraments>) other than
> the Eucharist <http://orthodoxwiki.org/Eucharist> and ordination<http://orthodoxwiki.org/Ordination>,
> and other common services.
> The Small Book of Needs is excerpted from the Great Book of Needs for the
> purpose of convenience, in order to have a small book for the performance of
> needs, especially those needs which must be served outside the temple.
> There is also a Supplemental Book of Needs in Slavonic, which contains
> within services such as the orders for the consecration of a temple and the
> consecration of things pertaining to the temple, such as the church
> utensils <http://orthodoxwiki.org/Liturgical_objects>, vestments<http://orthodoxwiki.org/Vestments>,
> icons <http://orthodoxwiki.org/Icons>, and so forth. This Supplemental
> Book of Needs is often combined into one book with the Small Book of Needs.
> What distinguishes the services found in the Euchologion is that they are
> generally services that are not appointed to be done at any given time
> according to the Church calendar, but are done as the need arises (e.g.,
> funerals, weddings, baptisms, the consecration of a new church, etc.). Some
> services are associated with the liturgical calendar, however, such as the

Britt Picks A Handful Of ACEs

The Oregon Arts Commission handed out grants to help minority and other students learn about arts careers.
The grants include one to the Britt Festivals for its "ACE" program, Arts Career Exploration.
Step one: name the students, which Britt just did. We hear what the year ahead holds for them.

I'm getting so old that I can remember Mindy McCready in her twenties looking pretty hot, dating dudes like Dean Cain, in between her secret teenage affair with Roger Clemens, natch, and before the sex tape (and, no, today is not the day to be viewing that), but, here's a valuable lesson I suppose in drugs and the people who love them. That's an affair that never lasts for too long.

CPU fixing bracket failure

M4A78LT-M LE + Phenom II x2 560 BE (A3 socket) Well, after spending time & money (Jan 2011) rebuilding my desktop machine, I am very disappointed that the CPU connector plate failed yesterday.
I was having physiotherapy and heard a clunk from my desk. I couldn't see anything fallen over, so carried on with the physio'. I was about to take the panel off the machine, when it shut its-self down.
When I did open it, I was dismayed to see that the heat-sink & cooling fan had dropped off & was resting across a couple of expansion cards. On closer inspection, I see that one of the fixing lugs on the adapter/fixing plate had snapped off. I've never seen this before, even on cheaper stuff, so feared the worse.
I've dropped DABs a line to see about returning it, but now it looks like they want me to send it to Asus. Doesn't that go against UK Law ?
I have now seen that you can buy these adapter plates – so I guess it's a more common occurrence than I thought. As I am disabled, I do rely on my machine, possibly more than most, and of course I can't run it at all at the moment.
1/ For the sake of speed: does anyone know where I can get such a plate (A3 socket – bearing the word: AMCO) ? I've looked on an auction site, but the only A3 I come up with is from Hong Kong –(400294708174)- and that isn't quite like mine. Mine is more 'open plan' – just the outer frame. Have also Googled it, but can't seem to get anywhere.
2/ I am concerned about any damage caused by this thing falling apart. If I do have to return it – should I insist that DABs take it back, and not Asus ?
PS: I don't see any formatting tools or preview on this version of PCA. Have I logged onto an older version by mistake ? I arrived here via Google, on a friends machine.

Not wishing to hijack your conversation, but I had cause to ask the FE to pass my details on a few months ago and mentioned the loss of functionality of the 'envelope'. Apparently it was removed as a result of abuse, so whether we will get it back I'm unsure.

Not complaining, I just didn't want you thinking that I'd received it & said nothing.

Is the Verizon-Nokia "Dark Knight" tie-in evidence of smart marketing or simply a turnoff for those being left out?
My motivation for doing things is sometimes random and, frankly, a little twisted. Case in point: I'm not really a fan of superheroes or comics, but I found it impossible to ignore the hype surrounding the release of "The Dark Knight."
I opted for a Saturday afternoon showing, in part to satisfy my crush on Christian Bale (which I've had since "Newsies" and "Swing Kids"), and to see how many true fans would come to opening weekend dressed in full character. I wasn't disappointment with the performance of Bale or the crew of super fans three rows back and to my left. Although the little munchkin in his Batman PJs and face mask could have probably been left home with a sitter.
There was another reason I saw the movie. Movie studios and record labels were among the first to embrace mobile programs as extensions of prerelease promotion, and well-hyped movies are a great source of fodder for cataloguing mobile content, applications, and text programs that result from big-budget marketing partnerships between studios and brands. "The Dark Knight" didn't disappoint here, either. For weeks now, the connection between Verizon, Nokia, and "The Dark Knight" has become more evident.
Mobile content generates billions of dollars each year, and some say it's one of the biggest reasons Apple got into the device game in the first place. Unsurprisingly, then, one of the biggest marketing tie-ins of this movie centers on the leading domestic wireless carrier and a handset manufacturer looking to increase share in the U.S.
Just over a month before the caped crusader premiered, Nokia announced the launch of the 6205 "Dark Knight" limited-edition phone. While seemingly a standard flip device, it comes fully loaded with a trailer, Batman logo, and embedded content features users can download. While fanboys can appreciate the special packaging and box in which the handset comes, I doubt this would ever be considered a collector's item. Further, a carrier contract is required for activation.
The benefit to Nokia isn't necessarily in sales of the 6205, but in the high-profile shots of a yet-to-be released touch handset. If you see the movie, keep your eyes open for a dramatic scene in which a device exchanges hands (there are, in fact, a few of these moments, but you'll know the one when you see it).
Verizon users are also the only ones who can experience and download any of the content available at Verizon's Batman site. It should have come as no surprise when I saw the ad in Us Weekly -- the Verizon branding was all over it. But I wasn't prepared for the lame text from a random short code that I got back after sending in my keyword: "Sorry, but the Grab game for a Batman Pack is not available to Cingular customers." No video, wallpapers, committing of my friends to the asylum, contest eligibility, or tones and ring backs for me.
While the Nokia-Verizon marketing tie-in smacks us non-Verizon customers in the face, it's not all bad for Batman fans who aren't on that carrier network. Warner Brothers did a decent job of establishing other relationships that will allow "The Dark Knight" mobile content to exist among non-Verizon customers.
The Glu catalogue of assets is a good example of globally reaching content centered on the movie. It includes games, voice tones, wallpapers, animated screensavers, and music tones (I found evidence of the distribution deal several layers deep on my CrackBerry).
IPhone users can get a new application through the AppStore that frankly reminds me of why I fear clowns. It combined a Joker-esque makeup application via the multi-touch screen with a photo taken from the iPhone's camera. The end result is really kind of a mess, but entertaining nonetheless, especially if you like to invoke nightmares of clowns upon others.
Take the time to experience all the Batman mobile content you can. There's a bit of a double-edged sword in here, and the question remains: is the Verizon-Nokia "Dark Knight" tie-in evidence of smart marketing or simply a turnoff for those being left out?

with Bhavani Marcia Miller, E-RYT 500
As we age, we change, and so should our yoga. Whether you are a longtime practitioner or a beginner, this workshop will offer you ways to meet your changing body and life just as you are, in a community of your peers.
When we are over 50, we have many skills and life experiences and also different questions than we had in our 20s. How do I best meet this next phase of my life? What do I need to add to my life and what should I let go of? What is the balance between self-care and service to others? And when did I start feeling so stiff in the morning?
Practices will include asana that respects our joints and chronic sore places but will also safely build physical strength, balance, suppleness and stamina. We'll focus on practices that are sustainable for aging bodies with youthful hearts. We'll move all body parts each day and then rest deeply in poses that leave us feeling open, refreshed and ready for the next adventure. With many years of therapeutic yoga experience, Marcia will help you identify ways to care for your tight (or sore) shoulders, hips, knees or back. Meditation and breathing practices will bring us clarity, attention and integration. Spring in rural Virginia will also nourish and delight us.
This weekend workshop is appropriate for men and women over 50 who want to continue caring for themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually as they age. People of all yoga traditions and experience levels are welcome including those new to yoga. For this workshop you must be able to get up and down off the floor (but it need not be graceful!)
"Marcia was very knowledgeable and informative but also fun and real."
"I didn't want it to end so I think that means it was terrific."
"The most valuable part of the workshop was the positive attitude toward the experience of aging along with very specific instruction regarding care of the joints and injury prevention."
"I thought Marcia was very passionate and thoughtful about teaching correct alignment for the body so as not to hurt ourselves. I really appreciate her care and gentle knowledgeable approach."
"Marcia made the topic approachable and enjoyable to all experience levels. I value her wisdom and knowledge."
Marcia (Bhavani) Miller has been a yoga teacher her entire adult life. She has taught all types of students including beginners, yoga teachers, prisoners, seniors, ballet dancers, war veterans and cancer patients. One of the founders/owners of Yoga on High, she is the co-director of its advanced Teacher Training Programs including a Therapeutic Teacher Training. She designed and taught the yoga protocol for two research studies at the Ohio State University studying the effects of yoga on the immune system and on women healing from breast cancer. She is also one of a handful of Master Teachers in the Urban Zen Integrative Therapy (UZIT) Program created by Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee and Donna Karan. In addition to leading trainings, she offers UZIT in the largest medical center in Columbus, working with nurses, patients and their families. Visit: www.yogaonhigh.com
In 2008 Marcia took the lead in founding the Yoga on High Foundation, a fund at the Columbus Foundation as a way to serve all populations of people in her community including low income kids, people with diabetes, homeless veterans, and survivors of cancer and sexual abuse. She is also known for the clarity and compassion of her language, having studied and taught Nonviolent Communication for many years. In her 6th decade, she is well aware of the aging process, its challenges and its many blessings.

text: Marcio Cruz, also known by his nickname "Pe de Pano" is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Carlos Gracie Junior, being unanimously considered one of the best to have ever competed in the sport. Mario Cruz was one of the biggest stars of the Gracie Barra Academy in the early 2000's, having conquered numerous titles being his biggest achievements the two open weight black belt world championships in 2002 and 2003. Pe de Pano fought also in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) having reached the pinnacle of the sport by competing in the UFC. Originally from Brazil, Marcio Cruz moved to the United States where made a career as a jiu jitsu instructor. Marcio Cruz Jiu Jitsu Full Name: Márcio Ribeiro da Cruz Nickname: The name Pé de Pano is what Sugarfoot, the character from the 80´s cartoon show "Woody the Woodpecker", is called in Brazil. Márcio Cruz was called this due to his lanky and somewhat clumsy nature, specially as a teenager. Lineage: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie Sr. > Carlos Gracie Junior > Marcio Cruz Main Achievements (BJJ/Grappling): ADCC Champion (2003) World Champion (1999 purple, 2000 weight & absolute brown, 2002 weight & absolute, 2003 absolute) Pan American Champion (1999 weigh & absolute blue, 2003 weight & absolute, 2005 weight & absolute) Brazilian Champion (1998 blue, 2000 weight & absolute, 2001) Brazilian National Silver Medallist (1999 brown, 2001 absolute) World Bronze Medallist (1998 blue, 2001 weight & absolute, 2012) Favorite Technique: Triangle Choke Weight Division: Super-heavy Weight Team/Association: Gracie Elite Team (Formerly Gracie Barra) Marcio Cruz "Pe de Pano" Biography Marcio Cruz was born on the 24th of April, 1978 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He started training Martial Arts at the age of 12, with a short run at Karate in a dojo close to were he lived. Pe de Pano lived part of his early teenage years at his grandfathers house, a time when he was introduced to Jiu Jitsu by a friend. Although he loved the sport straight away, there was no jiu jitsu academy were he lived, as such he joined a Judo club while he couldn't find a BJJ academy nearby. It was in 1996, when Marcio was 17, that jiu jitsu became a part of Marcio Cruz' life. In Brazil if you want to become a professional jiu jitsu competitor (which Pe de Pano wanted with all his heart) 17 is an old age to start off your career as a white belt, however, Marcio had his goals set and he trained harder then anyone else at the gym, putting all his spare time on the mats. All that work combined with the raw talent running through Marcio's veins, helped him achieve success very fast winning his first major title, the Pan American Championship in 1999 as a blue belt, followed by a World Championship in the same year this time in the Purple Belt Division. His amazing run didn't stop here, and Pe de Pano went on to win the Brazilian National Championship as a Brown Belt in the end of that year, making this path to black belt one of the fastest ever recorded (Marcio Cruz received his black belt in 2001). In 2001 Marcio Cruz won the World Championships at his weight and the absolute divisions, submitting everyone on his path, being given his black belt there and then by "Carlinhos" Gracie. On that same year Marcio won the Brazilian Nationals again in his weight and absolute divisions, this time as a black belt. Marcio Cruz has never been known to be a man that keeps his thoughts to himself. Cocky and somewhat arrogant he is one of those fighters you either love or hate and his antics against Jeff Monson, Terere and many others are well documented and have been the subject of heated forum discussions throughout the internet. Although his attitude might have been questioned by some, no one can deny he is one of the most gifted fighters the BJJ world has ever produced. Even though he may not look like the stereotypical fighter with the cauliflower ears, broad back and tattoos, his deceiving physique and his guard is game have made him a true master of the art and a delight to watch by any BJJ lover.

Brubeck died of heart failure on his way to a regular medical
exam at Norwalk Hospital, in Norwalk, Conn., said Gloyd.
His Dave Brubeck Quartet put out one of the biggest selling
jazz songs of all time: "Take Five," composed by alto
saxophonist Paul Desmond. Like many of the group's works, it
had an unusual beat -- 5/4 time as opposed to the usual 4/4.
"We play it differently every time we play it," Brubeck told
The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2005. "So I never get tired of
playing it. That's the beauty of jazz."
"Take Five" was the first million-selling jazz single.
Brubeck injected classical counterpoint, atonal harmonies and
modern dissonance into his music, hinting at composers such
as Debussy, Bartok, Stravinsky and Bach.

Naples chamber program helping small businesses expand, learn
NAPLES - Everything Aimee Schlehr learned at a Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce program prepared her to expand the Naples Art Association's educational offerings.
Now, for the first time, the Naples Art Association at The von Liebig Art Center has a business plan.
"I think it's a beneficial program for any small business looking to go through a growth phase," said Schlehr, executive director of the Naples Art Association.
Small businesses and nonprofit organizations, such as the Naples Art Association, are learning how to grow and develop their organizations by participating in the chamber's FastTrac GrowthVenture. The 10-week business development program was developed for chief executive officers of existing Collier County companies with sales of less than $1 million and that have from four to 10 employees.
The Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce assumed the FastTrac GrowthVenture, an interactive program of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, when the Economic Development Council of Collier County dissolved about a year ago.
The program is designed to improve businesses.
Schlehr, who participated in the program from March through May, said it enabled her to learn how to analyze if the business was ready to handle additional educational enrollment.
She took a look at the organization's staff and financial resource structure to determine if the Naples Art Association should increase enrollment to its existing programs, or to add additional programs for those people it already serves.
Regarding the chamber program, Schlehr said the information on how to grow a business or nonprofit and the best way to do it was most beneficial to her, but that wasn't the only topic of the training program. It also covered business marketing and branding, policies and procedures, and staffing resources, among others topics.
Since completing the program, Schlehr said, the Naples Art Association decided to add additional educational courses for the community, as well as expand the advertisement to a broader audience.
Cotrenia Hood, the chamber's vice president of business development, said the chamber hopes to host the FastTrac GrowthVenture program once a year.
The next class is slated from March to May 2013.
The total program cost is $650, but just $300 of that is paid by the participant. Wells Fargo scholarships pay the remaining $350, which goes to the Kaufmann Foundation facilitator.
If it's not this particular program, Hood said, the chamber plans to host a similar program, focused on helping small businesses grow and develop.
"We are trying to make sure that the program fits the community," said Hood, who is responsible for all programs under The Partnership for Collier's Future Economy, focused on helping existing businesses grow.
Hood said the chamber is in the process of formulating a program — based on information generated from focus groups — that addresses the needs of the community's industries.
Since chamber officials formulated The Partnership for Collier's Future Economy, Hood said, their goal has been to focus on existing businesses through business climate and business development.
Schlehr, who attended the program in March with about 16 other business participants, said the ideas from fellow classmates helped them network and formulate new ideas for everyone's business.
Justin Henderson, finance manager of Bay Electric of Collier County Inc., had always wanted to focus on the larger picture of his business, but never had time to do it, until he took the program.
"It's a really valuable program," said Henderson, who has been the finance manager of Bay Electric of Collier County Inc. for seven years. "Most specifically, because for 10 weeks you set aside three hours to sit down with a group of other business people and look at your business."
In the middle of handling daily operations, he said, it's difficult to structure one's day to formalize a long-range business plan.
Henderson shared the information he learned with his fellow co-workers at Bay Electric of Collier County Inc., a Naples-based electrical contractor company with 17 employees.
Henderson echoed Schlehr about the benefits of networking with fellow classmates and business owners.
"I really enjoyed the interactive nature of it," he said. "It's just a wonderful learning opportunity."

After catching some serious heat in her native Poland for posing in ESPN The Magazine's Body issue, Agnieszka Radwanska did what all athletes seem to do these days when they're angry: She vented on social media.
A reader in Warsaw looks at a reprint of ESPN Magazine's nude photo of Polish tennis star Agnieszka Radwanska.AFP PHOTO/JANEK SKARZYNSKI
In response to Catholic group called Youth Crusade distancing itself from Radwanska because of her "immoral behavior," the 24-year-old tennis pro took to Facebook to offer a rebuke.
"The pictures are certainly not meant to cause offense and to brand them as immoral clearly does not take into account the context of the magazine," she wrote. "Moreover, they do not contain any explicit imagery whatsoever. I train extremely hard to keep my body in shape and that's what the article and the magazine is all about. If you read the interview, it only discusses my job as an athlete and what I have to do physically to be able to participate at the highest level of sport."
The images showed the No. 4 player in the world floating in a pool around tennis balls and and sitting near the pool as well, but though she was nude, the photos aren't considered lewd by the masses. Many other athletes pose in the issue, Radwanska pointed out on her page.
WORKS OF ARTDidn't know tennis and tattoos go together? Here's the physical evidence.
"Other athletes photographed include San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, 77-year-old golf legend Gary Player, and Olympic volleyball gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings — during and after her pregnancy. My tennis colleagues Serena Williams, Daniela Hantuchova and Vera Zvonareva have all participated in the past,"
she wrote.
Two years ago, Radwanska participated in Youth Crusade's campaign called "I'm not ashamed of Jesus." Clearly, she isn't ashamed of her body, either, and isn't afraid to say so.

Biographer Followed in Subject's Footsteps
Hillel Halkin tells Liel Liebovitz of his 'Halevian' decision
Hillel Halkin, author of Nextbook Press biography of Yehuda Halevi, talked to Tablet's own Liel Liebovitz for Alef, the new online magazine from Birthright NEXT. Halevi, says Halkin, along with being a poet, physician, and philosopher, was "the first Diaspora Jew to insist that life in Exile was so psychologically and morally intolerable that it had to be abandoned at all costs."
Halkin describes his own decision to move to Israel from the U.S. in 1970 as "very much a Halevian one." Although he wasn't nearly as familiar with his future subject then, looking back he can't help but relate: "For Halevi, living in the Land of Israel was a matter of inner necessity. It was something he had to do for his own integrity, and the failure to do it left him feeling incomplete and inconsistent. Judaism was for him above all a religion of action—and living in the Land of Israel was the ultimate act, the abstention from which undermined the meaning of all else."
Interested in hearing more? Halkin's book tour begins tomorrow. Check out the schedule here.

Former NBA swingman Hayes helps Qatar beat Japan
More News from Mark Giongco
MANILA, Philippines – Qatar overcame an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter to edge Japan, 75-74, in Group B of the 27th FIBA-Asia Championship Thursday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Yasseen Ismail Musa notched a double-double with 12 points and 15 rebounds as Qatar climbed back from a 53-61 hole to start the final frame.
Ex-NBA veteran Jarvis Hayes also came through for Qatar late — knocking down a baseline jumper that made it a two-possession game, 74-70, before splitting on his charities to seal the game with only 5.4 ticks left.
