Religion, charity and human rights
\"For the first time in 400 years a number of leading common law nations have, fairly simultaneously, embarked on charity law reform leading to an encoding of key definitional matters in charity legislation. This book provides an analysis of international case law developments on the ever growing range of issues now being generated by clashes between human rights, religion and charity law. Kerry O'Halloran identifies and assesses the agenda of 'moral imperatives', such as abortion and gay marriage that delineate the legal interface and considers their significance for those with and those without religious belief. By assessing jurisdictional differences in the law relating to religion/human rights/charity the author provides a picture of the evolving 'culture wars' that now typify and differentiates societies in western nations including the USA, England and Wales, Ireland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand\"-- Provided by publisher.

Gendered Health Outcome Among Somali Refugee Youth in Displacement: A Role of Social Support and Religious Belief
This study examines the factors influencing physical health status, specifically focusing on the gender differences in risk and promotive factors affecting health outcomes among Somali refugee youth displaced in Nairobi, Kenya (n = 227). A survey was used to assess participants’ physical health along with psychosocial factors, somatic symptoms, and demographic characteristics. The study shows that religious belief and somatic symptoms among the total sample were significant predictors in influencing the outcome of physical health. A moderated mediation analysis and logistic regression analyses also revealed gender differences in associated factors as well as health status; female participants reported higher somatic symptoms, associated with a decline in physical health, whereas the protective effect of social support and religious belief promote was found only among male counterparts. Future studies and interventions would be benefited from a gender-specific approach to health promotion and coping mechanisms in this population.

‘MIGRANT’ JEWISH WRITERS IN THE ANGLOPHONE DIASPORA
The traditional notion of diaspora is Jewish – invoking the dissemination of a people forced from a biblical, ancestral homeland. Every Shabbat, the reminder of this undesired exodus is invoked in prayer when the doors of the Ark are opened and a request is made to rebuild the Temple walls of Jerusalem: ‘tivneh chomot Yerushalayim’. For nearly two millennia after the Fall of the Second Temple, the scattered Jewish diaspora established new names and communities, while knowing the home ‘back then, back there’ in biblical Israel was gone.
Migration and exile precede diaspora. Jewish migrant literature has often embedded historical
