Esther’s Magical Mystery Torah
Young Esther is terribly upset. She has spent her entire life in Brooklyn, New York, and now, her family is moving to far away San Francisco. But Esther doesn’t like change. She likes her New York friends, home, and synagogue. On Shabbat, at her family’s going away party, Esther decides to play a game of hide-and-seek to try and hide from the future. That’s when she hears a voice calling for her attention. Esther is amazed to find it’s a Torah doing the talking! Together, they discover a mysterious door in the back of the Ark and go on an incredible journey that will change Esther’s life forever.

Derby argues that the most pernicious aspect of the dictatorship was how it appropriated quotidian practices such as gossip and gift exchange, leaving almos...
Reading Jewish Women
In this extraordinary volume, Iris Parush opens up the hitherto unexamined world of literate Jewish women, their reading habits, and their role in the cultural modernization of Eastern European Jewish society in the nineteenth century. Parush makes a paradoxical claim: she argues that because Jewish women were marginalized and neglected by rabbinical authorities who regarded men as the bearers of religious learning, they were free to read secular literature in German, Yiddish, Polish, and Russian. As a result of their exposure to a wealth of literature, these reading women became significant conduits for Haskalah (Enlightenment) ideas and ideals within the Jewish community. This deceptively ...
