A hilarious, gorgeous, off-beat graphic version of the Bible's first five books! In the Comic Torah, stand-up comic Aaron Freeman and artist Sharon Rosenzweig reimagine the Torah with provocative humor and irreverent reverence.Prepare to meet God (referred to by the ineffable Hebrew name YHWH) imagined as a female with green skin, a love of grilling (see Leviticus for menus) and a bloody awful temper. Moses plays her romantic lead, part of a multi-ethnic cast of characters featuring celebrities such as Barack Obama playing Joshua ( Yes, we Canaan! ). Each weekly portion gets a two-page spread. Like the original, the Comic Torah is not always suitable for children. This is a Torah experience like no other.
Each week, we as a Jewish people read one Parsha, one Portion of the Torah, and we work together to find meaning within it Within these pages are the comics that I have created during the 2017 year. There is a unique comic for each week, plus discussion questions and educational reflections.
While the Jewish contribution to film, theatre, music and comedy has been well-documented, the Jewish role in the creation of the All-American superhero has been left unexplored - until now. The early comic book creators were almost all Jewish, and as children of immigrants, they spent their lives trying to escape the second-class mentality which was forced on them by the outside world. Their fight for truth, justice and the 'American Way' is portrayed by the superheroes they created. This title observes comic book heroes through historical and cultural lenses.
Jews created the first comic book, the first graphic novel, the first comic book convention, the first comic book specialty store, and they helped create the underground comics (or "Comix") movement of the late '60s and early '70s. Many of the creators of the most famous comic books, such as Superman, Spiderman, X-Men, and Batman, as well as the founders of MAD Magazine, were Jewish. From Krakow to Krypton: Jews and Comic Books tells their stories and demonstrates how they brought a uniquely Jewish perspective to their work and to the comics industry as a whole. Over-sized and in full color, From Krakow to Krypton is filled with sidebars, cartoon bubbles, comic book graphics, original design sketches, and photographs. It is a visually stunning and exhilarating history.
"Harry Brod situates superheroes within the course of Jewish-American history: they are aliens in a foreign land, like Superman; figures plagued by guilt for abandoning their families, like Spider-Man; and outsiders persecuted for being different, like the X-Men. Brod blends humor and sharp observation as he considers the overt and discreet Jewish characteristics of these well-known figures and explores how their creators integrated their Jewish identities and their creativity."--From publisher description.
This is the First Jewish Comic Book by Kids for Kids! Action! Adventure! Fun! There's a bank robbery and a kidnapping. Will Super Rabbi be able to save the day with his Jewish superpowers? Who will win the Shabbat Angels' contest? And what IS a mitzvah, anyway?!!! Here's a fun way to learn about your Jewish superpowers and the power of mitzvahs, for ages 4-10. Why We Created This Comic We looked on Amazon, the largest online bookseller in the world, and saw that there were hardly any Jewish comic books for children, so we decided to create a Jewish comic. We are students at a Jewish school but we know that not every Jewish kid is lucky enough to get to learn about Judaism, Torah and mitzvahs. We wanted to create a Jewish comic book that ALL Jewish Children would enjoy, even if they didn't know much about being Jewish and Judaism. The power behind these comics will help fuel a stronger connection to your children's Jewish identity whether they are creating them or reading about them.
The true adventures of a little-know hero of the seventh century, the last surviving prince of the House of King David. When the Persian king sets out to destroy all members of the Jewish royal family, only a newborn infant escapes execution. A strange dream convinces the king that his own fate is linked to that of the child. Bustenai eventually becomes an important leader whose bold imagination and courage help forge a bond of trust and respect between Jews and Arabs of the growing Moslem movement.
Superman is the original superhero, an American icon, and arguably the most famous character in the world--and he's Jewish! Introduced in June 1938, the Man of Steel was created by two Jewish teens, Jerry Siegel, the son of immigrants from Eastern Europe, and Joe Shuster, an immigrant. They based their hero's origin story on Moses, his strength on Samson, his mission on the golem, and his nebbish secret identity on themselves. They made him a refugee fleeing catastrophe on the eve of World War II and sent him to tear Nazi tanks apart nearly two years before the US joined the war. In the following decades, Superman's mostly Jewish writers, artists, and editors continued to borrow Jewish motifs for their stories, basing Krypton's past on Genesis and Exodus, its society on Jewish culture, the trial of Lex Luthor on Adolf Eichmann's, and a future holiday celebrating Superman on Passover. A fascinating journey through comic book lore, American history, and Jewish tradition, this book examines the entirety of Superman's career from 1938 to date, and is sure to give readers a newfound appreciation for the Mensch of Steel!
