The Loudest Thing
This book is a love letter. It is a love letter to family and the complex history of blood; to failed relationships and the magic left behind; to the dance of a happy marriage across the decades; to friendship; to travel; to coming home. Funny and unpredictable, honest and seductive--Joshua Levy uses poetry as a conduit for the exploration of love in its countless manifestations. He finds the silver lining in even the darkest subject matter with a sense of wonder that is refreshing and infectious. We journey with him as he visits the crooked streets of Lisbon, a kibbutz in Israel, the hollow of a guitar on a beach somewhere in Venezuela, and even an alien planet. But Levy is most fascinated with his hometown: these poems brim with affection for the city of Montreal and the things that keep him anchored here. In The Loudest Thing Levy adds his unique and vital voice to the grand chorus of Montreal Jewish writers such as Leonard Cohen, Mordecai Richler, Irving Layton, and A.M Klein, who came before him.
The Agony of the Promised Land
"The Agony of the Promised Land" is an excellent introduction to the fascinating and complex history of Israel and Palestine. Starting with the story of Abraham, it guides the reader through each era of Israeli and Palestinian history in concise sections, written in a compelling and accessible style. Using a wide variety of sources, Joshua Levy demonstrates an excellent understanding of the historical and political problems from the early Biblical period to today and skillfully analyses the main obstacles for peace and suggests a beam of hope for the future. --Dr. Joanna Newman--Historian As in the case of Solomon, two peoples holding a tiny peace of land and each claiming it is theirs. But ...

Finn and Ezra's Bar Mitzvah Time Loop
Finn and Ezra’s bar mitzvah weekend takes on a Groundhog Day twist in this hilarious and magical middle grade novel from Joshua S. Levy. Finn and Ezra don’t have a lot in common—except, of course, that they’re trapped in a bar mitzvah time loop, reliving their celebrations in the same New Jersey hotel over and over and over again.

Ezra comes from a big family—four siblings, all seeming to get more attention than him, even on his bar mitzvah weekend.

A Biographical Dictionary of Early American Jews
A remarkable reference for those interested in American Jewish history, comprising approximately four thousand names and supplemental data. Here is a near complete list of persons identifiable as Jews in America by 1800, the result of a thorough search of manuscript materials and published literature for the names of Jews who lived in America (including Canada up to 1783) during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. No other study provides comparable information for such an ethnic group in this country. The result of a years-long effort that began as a rabbinical thesis for the Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of Religion and was eventually expanded, it serves as an essential reference for historians and other researchers.
