It's a classroom for spiritual growth. Read Article 2) Posted Aug 19 2010 Title: Rabbi Meir Kahane - His Life and Thought - Volume One: 1932-1975 (Hebrew Edition) By Rabbi Aaron I. Reichel Anyone reading this well-researched and objective biography (just translated into Hebrew) has to be struck by how the focus of Rabbi Meir Kahane's life was on promoting Jewish identity, pride, values, knowledge, and even music, and how minimal a role that actual violence played even in the "militant" Jewish Defense League. Even the limited violence was for deterrence and limited primarily to property damages. Read Article 3) Posted Aug 19 2010 Title: Second Sight By Yocheved Golani The soft, laughter-inflected voice of psychiatrist Dr. Judith Orloff narrates her autobiography. It keeps readers glued to the pages describing Orloff's formerly tumultuous life as an adolescent intuitive - a correct observer of human emotions - then catches up with her highly respected present. Read Article 4) Posted Aug 11 2010 Title: Crown of Aleppo: The Mystery of the Oldest Hebrew Bible Codex By Zalman Alpert The Jewish people are known as the "people of the book," and over the centuries it has sacrificed much not only to live by that book, the Torah, but to maintain the integrity of its text as well. Read Article 5) Posted Aug 11 2010 Title: Women at the Crossroads: A Woman's Perspective on the Weekly Torah Portion By Bracha Goetz Over 30 years ago, Rebbetzin Chana Bracha Siegelbaum had not yet found the world of wisdom in the Torah. Read Article 6) Posted Aug 04 2010 A World After This: A Memoir Of Loss And Redemption By Mayer Jacobovits It is not often we find a Holocaust memoir where the author contributed to the saving of the saintly Bobover Rebbe, Shlomo Halberstam, met the infamous and controversial Kasztner and faced the devil Eichmann. Furthermore, she encountered gentiles that helped or contributed to her and her husband's survival; from the Polish mayor of Niepolomice, the Nazi commander of the Bochnia ghetto, Polish expatriates in Budapest, a Hungarian janitor in Debrecen to a Hungarian doctor in Budapest. Read Article 7) Posted Jul 28 2010 Title: Shabbat The Right Way: Resolving Halachic Dilemma By HaRav Meir Kadosh Shabbat The Right Way: Resolving Halachic Dilemma is the latest book of Rabbi J. Simcha Cohen, a Jewish Press columnist and recognized posek, as well as the author, previously, of How Does Jewish Law Work, vol. 1-2 and The 613th Commandment. Read Article 8) Posted Jul 28 2010 Title: The Mind of the Mourner Individual and Community in Jewish Mourning By Prof Oscar Mohl Grief is a universal experience. But mourning, which is the religious and cultural expression of that grief, reflects the specific community's values and world· view. In this important volume, the author analyzes the halachic ritual framework of avelut, exploring how it was constructed to reflect the values and importance of the community and at the same time to address the emotional and psychological needs of the individual mourner with understanding, sensitivity, and compassion. It shows how the corpus of rabbinic literature on the subject expresses a consistent and coherent Jewish theology of death and mourning. Read Article 9) Posted Jun 30 2010 Title: No Such Victim: A Book About Divine Providence and How to Work with It By Yocheved Golani With a title such as this, Rabbi Winston's new book belongs in every Jewish home and institution. Page 180 holds a delicious, psychologically satisfying insight and answer to your confusion about the purpose and function of personal suffering. Read Article 10) Posted Jun 23 2010 Title: The Jewish Home - A Guide to Jewish Family Life By A. Y. Sofer Rabbi Eliyahu Kitov lived through turbulent times, whether as a young man in war-torn Poland in the middle of the last century, or as an early settler in the fledgling State of Israel during its formative years. In Israel, he developed into an exceptional educator and outstanding writer, and these two skills merged remarkably well when he authored a series of innovative texts that still resonate strongly throughout the Jewish world. Read Article 11) Posted Jun 23 2010 Title: The Equation of Life: Making Your Life and History Add Up By Yocheved Golani Twenty five plus 11=36. That is "the equation of life, since it is the operating principle of all Creation," writes Rabbi Pinchas Winston. A former Aish HaTorah professional, the teacher, public speaker and author proves that these numbers indicate what should have happened in Gan Eden: history would have come to a glorious, painless end and we'd be better off for it. Read Article 12) Posted Jun 09 2010 Title: From the Four Winds By Rivkah Teitz Blau Jews would be the most populous group on Earth today if our numbers when we left Egypt more than 3,000 years ago had been allowed to grow in a natural, unimpeded way. But we know from the history of massacres and laws against our people that the rate of Jewish population growth has been anything but natural. How have we survived so many enemies over so many years? How can we have any hope for the future? Read Article 13) Posted Jun 02 2010 Title: Joyous Torah Treasures By Shlomo Greenwald In Joyous Torah Treasures, an enjoyable collection of essays on the weekly sidrah, Dr. Sam Friedman provides a smorgasbord presentation of observations and analysis, ranging from classical to modern, on many of the most talked about discussions on each and every parshah. Read Article 14) Posted May 26 2010 Title: Breslav Children's 5-Booklet Set By Yocheved Golani Ever-smiling Rav Shalom Arush is a beloved figure in Israel and beyond. A powerhouse for chesed and decent living, his Breslav-based Shlom Bonaich school for underprivileged children in Jerusalem has produced a series of five children's booklets in Hebrew, English and soon-to-be Yiddish. Read Article 15) Posted May 12 2010 Title: In-Laws: It's All Relative By Gabriella A. Rosenfeld In-laws: It's All Relative, a new book by psychiatrist Dr. Abraham Twerski and Leah Shifrin Averick, LCSW, offers insights into common issues affecting all in-laws. They include the first meeting between the new couple and his parents and hers (machatonim), what to call the in-laws, making wedding plans, divided loyalties over where to spend holidays, sibling-in-law relationships, gifts and monetary aid, and others. Read Article 16) Posted May 05 2010 Title: There Are No Basketball Courts In Heaven By D. Heyman Rabbi Dovid Landesman jokes that one of his former students used to refer to him as General Eclectic because he could never safely predict how he would come down on various issues. Another talmid reminds me that the rabbi was sometimes referred to as the "adderaba" (Aramaic for "on the contrary") because he could usually be counted upon to present a viewpoint that never feared challenging the establishment. The most cogent appreciation, however, is that offered by a ninth grader who, after listening to a talk on parashat hashavua, approached him and said, "Rebbi, I don't like the way you speak!" Somewhat taken aback, Rabbi Landesman asked him to explain his criticism. The student replied, "You always want us to think!" Read Article 17) Posted May 05 2010 Title: A Green Fantasy: Ruthie Discovers The Secret To Noah's Ecosystem By Dvora Waysman Noah's Ark. Do we believe it really happened or was it a kind of Biblical legend, allegory or parable? The author, an anthropologist as well as a barrister and criminologist, has done an amazing amount of research into ecology, and come up with a fascinating theory and a gripping children's story of how it really might have been. Read Article 18) Posted May 05 2010 Title: Annie's Ghosts, A Journey into a Family Secret By Aharon ben Anshel As any psychologist can tell you - no two people who see an event come away with the very same experience. Criminologists and detectives who question people who may have witnessed a crime experience the fact that several different people will report various versions of the event. Read Article 19) Posted May 05 2010 Title: The Garden of Spices; Recipes for Life By Yocheved Golani Beloved nutritional counselor a.k.a. naturopath Shoshanna Harrari lives in Israel and hops around the globe helping clients to live healthier lives. With an impressive record for reversing disease, the author is an in-demand speaker and consultant. Her recipe book is a tool for resting her voice and a great addition to many kitchens. Photos by Shoshanna's husband Micah Harrari show the bounty of blessings upon our plates, if only we'll put them there. Read Article 20) Posted Mar 17 2010 Title: Unlocking the Torah Text: An In-Depth Journey into the Weekly Parsha - Vayikra By Rabbi Hayyim Angel There are many books being written today on the Torah. A smaller number display a commitment to the basic straightforward messages of peshat - the plain sense of the text - and how the voice of the Torah, as elucidated by our classical commentaries, has much to teach a contemporary audience.
