For millennia, two biblical verses have been understood to condemn sex between men as an act so abhorrent that it is punishable by death. Traditionally Orthodox Jews, believing the scripture to be the word of God, have rejected homosexuality in accordance with this interpretation. In 1999, Rabbi Steven Greenberg challenged this tradition when he became the first Orthodox rabbi ever to openly declare his homosexuality. Wrestling with God and Men is the product of Rabbi Greenberg's ten-year struggle to reconcile his two warring identities. In this compelling and groundbreaking work, Greenberg challenges long held assumptions of scriptural interpretation and religious identity as he marks a path that is both responsible to human realities and deeply committed to God and Torah. Employing traditional rabbinic resources, Greenberg presents readers with surprising biblical interpretations of the creation story, the love of David and Jonathan, the destruction of Sodom, and the condemning verses of Leviticus. But Greenberg goes beyond the question of whether homosexuality is biblically acceptable to ask how such relationships can be sacred. In so doing, he draws on a wide array of nonscriptural texts to introduce readers to occasions of same-sex love in Talmudic narratives, medieval Jewish poetry and prose, and traditional Jewish case law literature. Ultimately, Greenberg argues that Orthodox communities must open up debate, dialogue, and discussion - precisely the foundation upon which Jewish law rests - to truly deal with the issue of homosexual love.

Although speech is the primary behavioral medium by which humans communicate, its auditory basis is poorly understood, having profound implications on efforts to ameliorate the behavioral consequences of hearing impairment and on the development of robust algorithms for computer speech recognition. In this volume, the authors provide an up-to-date synthesis of recent research in the area of speech processing in the auditory system, bringing together a diverse range of scientists to present the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective. Of particular concern is the ability to understand speech in uncertain, potentially adverse acoustic environments, currently the bane of both hearing aid and speech recognition technology. There is increasing evidence that the perceptual stability characteristic of speech understanding is due, at least in part, to elegant transformations of the acoustic signal performed by auditory mechanisms. As a comprehensive review of speech's auditory basis, this book will interest physiologists, anatomists, psychologists, phoneticians, computer scientists, biomedical and electrical engineers, and clinicians.

The human species is largely defined by its use of spoken language, so integral is speech communication to behavior and social interaction. Despite its importance in everyday life, comparatively little is known about the auditory mechanisms that underlie the ability to understand language. The current volume examines the perception and processing of speech from the perspective of the hearing system. The chapters in this book describe a comprehensive set of approaches to the scientific study of speech and hearing, ranging from anatomy and physiology, to psychophysics and perception, and computational modeling. The auditory basis of speech is examined within a biological and an evolutionary context, and its relevance to applied domains such as communication disorders and speech technology discussed in detail. This volume will be of interest to scientists, engineers, and clinicians whose professional work pertains to any aspect of spoken language or hearing science.

Toda família guarda segredos, mas alguns são muito mais obscuros, penetram muito mais fundo e magoam muito mais do que outros.De Telavive aos becos de Praga, a busca implacável de Vanessa para solucionar o mistério do diário que o pai manteve durante a guerra, e do que ele e o avô faziam durante a ocupação nazista na Tchecoslováquia, revela um segredo obscuro de 70 anos.Vanessa Neuman é filha de sobreviventes do Holocausto e sua infância na familiaridade caótica do sul de Telavive é obscurecida pelas experiências não mencionadas dos pais durante a guerra. Para ela, o passado era um livro fechado… até o pai morrer e o livro cair literalmente aberto. Vanessa agora tem que solucionar o mistério do diário que recebeu – e do estranho símbolo dentro dele –, custe o que custar.Ambientado contra o pano de fundo da ocupação nazista e do Museu Judaico de Praga – O Museu de uma Raça Extinta de Adolf Eichmann –, Galeria é um suspense de ficção histórica nos moldes do livro A Chave de Sarah, de Tatiana De Rosnay. Do centro de pesquisa sobre o Holocausto, Yad V’Shem, em Jerusalém até as ruelas de Praga, e depois para dentro do antigo “gueto paradisíaco” de Theresienstadt, a jornada de entendimento de Vanessa revelará um passado familiar mais obscuro do que ela jamais imaginaria – um segredo mantido vivo por mais de meio século.
