My Opa
My Opa is the diary of Rabbi Dr. Isaac Rosenberg, who lived from 1860 until 1940. This diary provides a glimpse into German Jewish life nearly twenty years before its ultimate destruction. The diary documents the pastoral life of a German Orthodox rabbi in the Jewish community of Thorn, a small city in Eastern Germany. By means of daily entries spanning the years of 1911 to 1920, the momentous events of the Great War are described. Rabbi Rosenberg provides an incisive commentary on the military and political aspects of the war. His predictions of what was to come had an uncanny prescience. My Opa is Dr. Fred Gottlieb's compilation and translation of the original volumes that comprised some 500 pages of tightly-spaced notes in German, Hebrew, Yiddish, shorthand, and Latin.
I Am Who I Am
To survive the Holocaust, there were many people who knowingly assumed new identities, or unknowingly, were given new ones. Could they change back, or even find out who they once were? In "I Am Who I Am," Eve Elovic presents two novelas that reflect the destiny of individuals who could not, by choice or by fate, be who they were, until ...
Science, Pseudo-science and Moral Values
"Every professor knows his own area, but who is able to see the whole picture?" Based on the author's background and the wide-ranging areas she has studied in the university, Gila Gat-Tilman presents articles on science, psuedo-science and moral values from an all-encompassing perspective. The first article in this book represents an overview of science and academic knowledge. Articles that follow discuss moral values, the Sabbath, experiments on animals, and the philosophical questions of certainty. Additionally, she includes the biography of two people whose influence has helped hone her viewpoint. Science has improved our lives, and pseudo-science has followed suit. But pseudo-science, bu...
York 1190
In the 11th century, York was an important northern English city. At this time, English Jews were subject to considerable religious prejudice and primarily worked from cities in which there was a local royal castle that could provide them with protection in the event of attacks from the majority Christian population. When Richard I was crowned King in 1189, there were rumours that the king had ordered that the English Jews be attacked. Shortly afterwards, in York, tensions broke out into violence and York became the location of one of the worst pogroms for Jews in England during the medieval period. In mid-March 1190, some 150 Jews of York sought protection in the royal castle, on the site k...

Judaism 3.0 examines the role of Zionism today for Jews around the world.
The Alternative
A must read on the subject of Moshiach, "The Alternative" is a halachic analysis of the unfolding global and empirical Messianic events involving Yisrael and the nations. Rabbi Yehuda Schwartz, the author, presents a significant alternative to the rallying call of "We want Moshiach Now," delving into the halachic implications of the State of Israel's resurrection in 1948 on its ancient homeland. Until now, most students of the Redemption have only been taught half the possibility for Redemption, which is the achishena, the "hastened" mode, mainly because of political exigency. Within halachic parameters, "The Alternative" describes the be'itoh probability, "in its proper time," and as verifi...
To Whom Was The Promised Land Promised?
To Whom Was The Promised Land Promised? - Some Fundamental Truths About The Arab-Israeli Conflict stands alone in its field. For anyone seeking information or guidance on the Arab-Israeli century-long conflict, this book will be the first book to consult. The object of Abraham Sion's research is to ascertain ownership of the legal right to the territory of Mandatory Palestine under international law. The two competitors were the Arab nation on the one hand and the Jewish people on the other. The author juxtaposes the legal rights of both parties to make this determination. Sion's research is concerned with the legal aspects of the conflict. He does not seek to establish who is morally right ...
Trading Power
Trading Power traces the successes and failures of a generation of German political leaders as the Bonn Republic emerged as a substantial force in European, Atlantic, and world affairs. Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, West Germans relinquished many trappings of hard power, most notably nuclear weapons, and learned to leverage their economic power instead. Obsessed with stability and growth, Bonn governments battled inflation in ways that enhanced the international position of the Deutsche Mark while upending the international monetary system. Germany's remarkable export achievements exerted a strong hold on the Soviet bloc, forming the basis for a new Ostpolitik under Willy Brandt. Through much trial and error, the Federal Republic learned how to find a balance among key Western allies, and in the mid-1970s Helmut Schmidt ensured Germany's centrality to institutions such as the European Council and the G-7 – the newly emergent leadership structures of the West.
An Odyssey of Survival
Memoirs of a Jew born in 1929 in Jánoshalma, Hungary, to a hasidic family. Pt. 1 (pp. 17-126) relates his experiences in the Holocaust. In May 1944 he, his parents, and most of his ten siblings were sent to the Bácsalmás ghetto and then to Auschwitz. In August he and his father were transferred to the nearby Golleschau labor camp. His father was sent back to Auschwitz, where he perished. In January 1945 Klein was taken on a death transport. He and two car-loads of prisoners were saved by Oskar Schindler, who redirected the cars to Brünnlitz. Of his entire family, only he and two sisters survived. After the war he settled in the USA.
