The Prophet of the Andes
The remarkable true story of how one Peruvian carpenter led hundreds of Christians to Judaism, sparking a pilgrimage from the Andes to Israel and inspiring a wave of emerging Latin American Jewish communities “If Gabriel García Márquez had written the Old Testament, it might read like Graciela Mochkofsky's staggering true account of a humble Peruvian carpenter's spiritual odyssey from a shack in the Andes, via the Amazon, to the Promised Land of Israel with a community of devoted followers." —Judith Thurman, award-winning author of Isak Dinesen Segundo Villanueva was born in 1927 in a tiny farming village perched in the Andes; when he was seventeen, his father was murdered and Segundo ...
Once
ONCE es el retrato de una tragedia que puso en crisis a un gobierno que había ganado las elecciones cuatro meses antes con el 54 por ciento de los votos. ONCE es la explicación de por qué, con sus 51 muertos y 795 heridos, el impactante choque en la estación Once del tren de la línea Sarmiento, el 22 de febrero de 2012, desnudó un drama cotidiano y un sistema perverso, corrupto y cínico que puede volver a matar en un mes, una semana, mañana, ya mismo. ONCE es el relato vertiginoso de las víctimas, que, en un caleidoscopio de historias, sufren el viaje y el horror del choque, protagonizan la cobardía y la solidaridad, padecen la inoperancia del Estado y enfrentan solos decisiones de...

Portraits of Adult Jewish Learning
What do we mean by “adult Jewish learning”? Where is contemporary adult Jewish learning taking place? What kinds of learning matter to adult Jewish learners in the twenty-first century? Portraits of Adult Jewish Learning boldly tackles these questions through the exploration of various learners’ experiences in diverse circumstances: couples exploring a Jewish museum, actors co-creating a Jewish-themed play, social justice activists consolidating their Jewish values and identities, Jewish preschool educators visiting Israel, Jewish and non-Jewish staff at a Jewish social service agency studying traditional texts together, Latinx converts seeking to understand “how to be a good Jew,”...
Ryszard Kapuscinski
Reporting from such varied locations as postcolonial Africa, revolutionary Iran, the military dictatorships of Latin America and Soviet Russia, the Polish journalist and writer Ryszard Kapu?ci?ski was one of the most influential eyewitness journalists of the twentieth century. During the Cold War, he was a dauntless investigator as well as a towering literary talent, and books such as The Emperor and Travels with Herodotus founded the new genre of ‘literary reportage’. It was an achievement that brought him global renown, not to mention the uninvited attentions of the CIA. In this definitive biography, Artur Domos?awski shines a new light on the personal relationships of this intensely c...

El profeta de los Andes
La increíble historia real de cómo un carpintero peruano llevó a cientos de cristianos al judaísmo. Una no-ficción fascinante, que recorre un capítulo poco conocido de la religión moderna. El conmovedor relato de una épica personal y colectiva. El profeta de los Andes recorre el increíble periplo del peruano Segundo Villanueva, quien, al leer por primera vez una Biblia que había pertenecido a su padre asesinado, emprendió una búsqueda que lo llevaría de la Iglesia católica a una sucesión de sectas protestantes, incluyendo una que él mismo fundó, hasta desembocar, finalmente, en el judaísmo. Ese recorrido espiritual, que inspiró a cientos de seguidores, lo condujo desde el ...

Attacks on the Press
The world's most comprehensive guide to international press freedom From Aleppo to Zacatecas, Beijing to Brasilia, the past decade has seen a sharp rise in the number of journalist imprisonments, assassinations, and disappearances worldwide. Caught between warlords and religious extremists, corrupt police and drug cartels, and hemmed in by increasingly oppressive censorship laws, journalists have never been at such peril, nor asked to pay such a high price for the ethical practice of their profession. Begun as a simple typewritten list in 1986, Attacks on the Press has grown to become the definitive annual assessment of press freedoms globally. Compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalist...
Between Two Homelands
Examines the experiences of thousands of Jewish Argentines who migrated to and from Israel Emigration from Israel to other parts of the world has not yet received significant scholarly attention, as the subject is a sensitive one in Israeli society. Zionist ideology has long compelled Israelis to approach emigration from Israel through a biased lens. The Hebrew words aliyah and yerida, which mean, respectively, "ascent" and "descent," are often used to refer to immigration and emigration. These ideological terms, which are charged with religious meaning, are heavily loaded with praise for immigrants and scorn for emigrants. Yet, thousands of Jews from all over the world have lived between tw...
