Conversations with Chaim Potok
"Writing at its best is an exalted state, an unlocking of the unconscious and imagination and a contact with sanctity." One of America's most popular Jewish writers, Chaim Potok (b. 1929) is the author of such novels as The Chosen (1967), The Promise (1969), The Book of Lights (1981), and Davita's Harp (1985). Each of his novels explores the tension between tradition and modernity, and the clash between Jewish culture and contemporary Western civilization, which he calls "core-to-core culture confrontation." Although primarily known as a novelist, Potok is an ordained Conservative rabbi and a world-class Judaic scholar who has also published children's books, theological discourses, biograph...

The Fall of a Sparrow
The Fall of a Sparrow is the only full biography in English of the partisan, poet, and patriot Abba Kovner (1918–1987). An unsung and largely unknown hero of the Second World War and Israel's War of Independence, Kovner was born in Vilna, "the Jerusalem of Lithuania."

Kovner and other defenders of the Vilna ghetto, only hours before its destruction, escaped to the forest to join the partisans fighting the Nazis. Returning after the Liberation to find Vilna empty of Jews, he immigrated to Israel, where he devised a fruitless plot to take revenge on the Germans. ...
Human Rights in Transition
At a time of intense polarisation about the value of human rights, this edited volume brings together leading scholars in international law and international human rights to reflect upon the present, the recent and distant past, and the future of human rights. Human Rights in Transition combines rich theoretical reflections with practice-informed observations about human rights and their potential futures. The book eschews the polarized and one-sided approach which can too easily dominate either side of the debate. Instead, drawing on deep learning and a range of engagements with human rights institutions, the authors develop a prognosis for contours of human rights law and politics, and its...

Coals of Fire
Coals of Fire, a novel: Time: 1962; Setting: Imaginary Old Order Mennonite community, modeled on those at Martindale and Weaverland, Lancaster County; but relocated to Mifflin and Centre Counties, in the ridge and valley province of Pennsylvania. This story involves five people: A man (Heinrich Deier) who is hiding in plain sight, hoping his good works in a new life under a new name (Henry Beiler) will help defend him in the event his enemy appears with formidable charges and, probably, several convincing forms of proof. The enemy (Gamaliel ben Asher), with a chilling indictment in hand, is, indeed, hot on the trail, intent on revenge. Very quickly the reader will want to know what Deier did...
