British Jewry, Zionism, and the Jewish State, 1936-1956
Stephan E. C. Wendehorst explores the relationship between British Jewry and Zionism from 1936 to 1956, a crucial period in modern Jewish history encompassing both the shoah and the establishment of the State of Israel. He attempts to provide an answer to what, at first sight, appears to be a contradiction: the undoubted prominence of Zionism among British Jews on the one hand, and its diverse expressions, ranging from aliyah to making a donation to a Zionist fund, on the other. Wendehorst argues that the ascendancy of Zionism in British Jewry is best understood as a particularly complex, but not untypical, variant of the 19th and 20th century's trend to re-imagine communities in a national ...
A Lifetime in Jerusalem
This autobiographical account of the career of Edwin Herbert Samuel, the second Viscount and son of the famous Liberal politician, is distinguished both for the historical importance and for the content and incisiveness of the writing. The book will prove fascinating to readers who enjoy good autobiography, especially those interested in following the saga of Palestine and Israel as told by one who has observed it closely for more than fifty years. The current volume presents material on Julius Simon's Zionist life and activity from the beginning of the century until the establishment of the state of Israel. Selected letters and documents, a chronological table, and an index are included.

The Laws of Deuteronomy
Professor Carmichael here proposes a convincing solution to a perplexing problem in biblical studies--the order and arrangement of the Deuteronomic laws. He shows that Deuteronomy is not a haphazard collection of fragments, but rather a carefully constructed, coherent literary work with a definite purpose. Through his analysis, many of the peculiar features of the code are made intelligible, for example, the relationship between the laws and earlier stories, sagas, and historical narratives. Opening up a new approach to the interpretation of the laws, this book makes an important contribution to the understanding of biblical material.
Jerusalem Transformed
The symposium that kicks off the latest volume of Studies in Contemporary Jewry focuses on the city that is at the very center of contemporary Jewish life, both geographically and culturally. Jerusalem is an extremely engaging and beautiful city as well as a source of continual controversy and contestation. The authors in the symposium discuss a wide range of topics, with a focus on politics and culture, offering readers provocative views on the city over the last 120 years. Essays by historians and cultural scholars in the volume engage with such issues as visions of the city among Jews and non-Jews and musical and literary imaginings of the city, while other scholars bring original interpretations of the city's political evolution in the past century that will both surprise and intrigue readers. The extensive book review section illustrates the consistent interest in modern Jewish history and culture.
THE TRUTH ABOUT FREEMASONS, ILLUMINATI, AND NEW WORLD ORDER
"Two Books In One" The New World Order's Letter to Every Citizen of the World warning Resistance is Futile. According to this letter addressed to everybody in America, it's useless to resist a one world takeover, as the program is in its final stages. The Very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society, and we are as people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excesive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify. "If you have the privilege to know, you have the duty to act"
