Show Me the Way of the Hebrews: The Making of an African American Rabbi

By J. Lester Feder

…h,” it is written in Deuteronomy 28, then the “Lord will bring you back to Egypt in ships…. And there, you will seek to be sold to your enemies for slaves and handmaids … [and] serve other deities unknown to you or your forefathers.” The ships were the clincher—why would Jews be carried back to slavery in ships if they were living in the desert? This could only refer to the ships that carried Africans to the New World. This didn’t wash with the ad…

Sex and the Ummah

By Amina Wadud

…ng these lines not to give it a shot myself. One of them was a report that Egypt was second for online porn inquiries. I didn’t read all the details—like second to which country? Actually, I thought it would have been second to Pakistan, which I had read a similar report about some time ago. I know, you probably thought it would be some where in the Gulf, but it’s not. I’m not sure what that says (about you, or,) about the Gulf. Because then there…

Muslim Women Go Public

By Fatemeh Fakhraie

…ni. It’s the first country in the Arabian Peninsula to do so. This follows Egypt’s decision to appoint Amal Suleiman to the same position a few months ago. India also saw a woman preside over marriages as early as last August. Al-Awani’s appointment and those like it look to be following a wider trend of women playing a more public role in religion. While women have always played a large role in religion by leading halaqas and organizing pilgrimag…

Foreclosure, Fraud and Pharaoh

By Daniel Schultz

…inciple, stories likes always put me in mind of scripture: But the king of Egypt said to them, ‘Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their work? Get to your labors!’ Pharaoh continued, ‘Now they are more numerous than the people of the land and yet you want them to stop working!’ That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, as well as their supervisors, ‘You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks…

Ramadan: Third Day is the Charm

By Amina Wadud

…se things will not get done very efficiently. I was amazed when I lived in Egypt how government workers came to the offices several hours late each day of Ramadan, and then left for home and a nap several hours early. Obviously, you can’t have it both ways: up and about all night and then up and about all day. Something has to give. I guess they reason that since the fast prevents full force in the day, the night becomes full force. The offices ar…

National Association of Evangelicals Supports Immigration Reform, But Elsewhere Discord Reigns

By Donna Schaper

…; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” (Leviticus 19:33 – 34) Consensus could come around the need to deal with the immediate human crisis. There is a human reality right in front of our noses. There are thousands of children of undocmented immigrants who don’t sleep at night because they are afraid of losing their father or mother; other thousands have already lost their father o…

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…of early Christian ascetics. Brown explains that the physical geography of Egypt suggested a certain theological geography—a way for ascetics to imagine both the cultured city they were leaving and the brutal desert they were going to. The city and the desert were near each other, thanks to the physical characteristics of the Nile delta. Both the earth’s physical features, and human beings’ built environments, marked a boundary between the two. Th…

My God, David Brooks

…ntal ingredients.” A week after this claim (the occasion being the coup in Egypt, and the object of ire being ‘Islamists’) Brooks engaged in a differently controversial topic—Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age. The implication of choice, however, remained the same. “Taylor’s investigation begins with this question: ‘Why was it virtually impossible not to believe in God in, say 1500, in our Western society, while in 2000 many of us find this not only e…

Mercy and Justice Can Meet at the Border

By Michael Brendan Dougherty

…Church sees in refugee families a reflection of the Holy Family fleeing to Egypt, and naturally is solicitous of the needs of immigrants. Reflecting on this image in a 1952 encyclical, Exsul Familia Nazarethena, Pope Pius XII wrote: In order that this example and these consoling thoughts would not grow dim but rather offer refugees and migrants a comfort in their trials, and foster Christian hope, the Church has to look after them with special car…
