The Jewish Catalog
The First Jewish Catalog is an exciting collection of far-ranging topics that should aid any Jew - whether steeped in the tradition or just discovering Judaism - to become personally involved in aspects of Jewish ritual life, customs, cooking, crafts, and creation. What makes The First Jewish Catalog different from any other Jewish reference book you have ever read is that in this book the emphasis is not only on knowledge or theory but on the pratical side of things as well. Frequently lighthearted, the material is presented with a love and honesty that make this book a joy to read.

Crisscrossing genres, they explore the outer bounds of imagination and artistic freedom, exposing the reader to a kaleidoscope of human emotions and experience. In The Night Archer, the acclaimed historian, political commentator, and statesman Michael Oren is revealed as a writer of bold versatility.

In doing so, he rethinks such concepts as God, the origins and meaning of existence, human nature, and revelation to construct a new Judaism for the twenty-first century.

"Jewish Megatrends offers a vision for a community that can simultaneously strengthen the institutions that serve those who seek greater Jewish identification and attract younger Jews, many of whom are currently outside the orbit of Jewish communal life.
