A Well-Spiced Life
What happens when the nice Jewish boy you end up marrying comes not from New York but from Casablanca? Who considers chicken soup little more than flavored water and grew up eating the head of a lamb--teeth and all--on Rosh Hashanah? A Well-Spiced Life is the warm, charming, often hilarious account of the author's foray into a brave new Sephardic world. As her family grew, the author absorbed the culture and cuisine of a variety of Sephardic cultures--so well, in fact, that she laments that some of it is still clinging to her waistline. Be prepared to savor this lively combination of anecdotes, culinary tips, humor, and a trove of tempting recipes you'll designate as "keepers."
A New Song
" Like Harry Potter, Melody Wheaton is an orphaned kid who doesn't fit in--not into her freezing Midwestern town or the even colder relatives she lives with.

But then life hits rock bottom. When a mysterious letter arrives out of the blue, Melody finally finds a way to answer some of her many questions, and a path to escape into a new world she finds often baffling and sometimes magical. In the process, she discovers a new family and her own true self. "

The Recovery of Palestine, 1917
By mid-1917, with the world war going badly on all fronts, and casualties burgeoning, Prime Minister David Lloyd George met with General Edmund Allenby, fresh from France. Lloyd George wanted “Jerusalem for Christmas” as a holiday “present” for the increasingly disillusioned British people. Its seizure would also eliminate the Ottomans, who had inflicted the dismaying disaster at the Dardanelles, as a factor in the war. As Allenby departed, the PM handed him George Adam Smith’s Historical Geography of the Holy Land, remarking that it was a better guide to reaching Jerusalem than anything “in the pigeon holes of the War Office”. Having been raised on the Bible, Allenby, as this narrative illustrates, did indeed exploit it. He would also have unanticipated expertise from an unknown and unmilitary officer, T. E. Lawrence, who turned his Arabian “sideshow” into campaigns distracting the Turks and their German military leadership. The desert war would be hard-fought, but, that December, after centuries in Muslim hands and with its sacred sites intact, Jerusalem fell.
