A Kosher Christmas
Christmas is not everybody’s favorite holiday. Historically, Jews in America, whether participating in or refraining from recognizing Christmas, have devised a multitude of unique strategies to respond to the holiday season. Their response is a mixed one: do we participate, try to ignore the holiday entirely, or create our own traditions and make the season an enjoyable time? This book, the first on the subject of Jews and Christmas in the United States, portrays how Jews are shaping the public and private character of Christmas by transforming December into a joyous holiday season belonging to all Americans. Creative and innovative in approaching the holiday season, these responses range ...

The Balanced Bride
The Balanced Bride, by house author Leah Ingram (The Portable Wedding Consultant, Your Wedding Your Way, You Shouldn't Have, etc.) concerns an oft-neglected aspect of being engaged; namely, the bride's mental, spiritual, and physical health. While spending hours researching and securing the perfect reception site, invitation, ceremony wording, attire, honeymoon, gift registry, and so on, many brides scrimp on taking care of themselves and their relationship with the groom. All of this often results in a stressed-out bride who does not truly enjoy her engagement, barely remembers the joy of her ceremony and reception, and--worst of all--misses the larger, more meaningful, picture of what it means to get married. Even top bridal designer Vera Wang recently confessed that she was so stressed walking down the aisle in 2001 that she didn't know if she'd remembered her veil! The Balanced Bride is a unique guide to navigating an engagement and laying the groundwork for a strong and lasting marriage. In this book, veteran bridal author Leah Ingram breaks down the topic of nurturing the bride into three main areas: Mind, Body, and Spirit. Writing in the friendly, accessible tone for which
American Jewry
Understanding the history of Jews in America requires a synthesis of over 350 years of documents, social data, literature and journalism, architecture, oratory, and debate, and each time that history is observed, new questions are raised and new perspectives found. This book presents a readable account of that history, with an emphasis on migration patterns, social and religious life, and political and economic affairs. It explains the long-range development of American Jewry as the product of 'many new beginnings' more than a direct evolution leading from early colonial experiments to latter-day social patterns. This book also shows that not all of American Jewish history has occurred on American soil, arguing that Jews, more than most other Americans, persist in assigning crucial importance to international issues. This approach provides a fresh perspective that can open up the practice of minority-history writing, so that the very concepts of minority and majority should not be taken for granted.
