Alexander treats sympathetically writers like Kovner and Appelfeld who integrated the European tragedy into the Israeli imagination, but charges that some Israeli dramatists have perpetrated travesties of the Holocaust that resemble antisemetic polemics
Day of the Dead Book Two: America begins where Day of the Dead Book One: Gaza left off. ISIS is about to launch the deadliest mass-casualty terrorist attack in history against the United States, by way of drug smuggling tunnels that lead from the drug cartel-ruled hills of Tijuana, into downtown San Diego. The only thing standing between them and the people they intend to slaughter are a beautiful, Born Again Christian CIA Agent, an over-the-hill FBI counter-terrorist whose main function in life is covering up for government foul-ups, a New Mexico born-and-raised DEA Agent, a black, twenty-year veteran of the Navy SEAL Teams, and a forty-five-year-old American-born, Israeli-raised intelligen...
Moshe's Children presents the inspiring story of Moshe Zeiri, a Jewish carpenter responsible for rescuing hundreds of Jewish refugee children who had survived the Final Solution. During the liberation of Italy, Zeiri, a volunteer in the British Army in Italy, assumed responsibility for and vowed to help around seven hundred Polish, Hungarian, Russian, and Romanian children. Although these orphans of the Shoah had been deprived of a family, a home, and a language and were irreparably robbed of their past, they were able to rebuild their lives through Zeiri's efforts as he founded the largest Jewish orphanage in postwar Europe in Selvino, Italy, where he began to rehabilitate the orphans and to teach them how to become citizens of the new nation of Israel. Moshe's Children also explores Zeiri's own story from birth in a shtetl to his upbringing and Zionist education, his journey to the Land of Israel, and his work there before the war. With narrative verve and scholarly acumen, Sergio Luzzatto brilliantly tells the gripping stories of these orphans of the Holocaust and the good man who helped point them to a real future.
There are many situations that leaders in the church encounter that are curious. These situations require a patient, listening, and compassionate ear. A leader in the church should be prepared to make well-informed, responsible decisions on a regular basis while operating with only limited information.

Each case study provides the reader with enough information to make a sound decision on a case, but that doesn’t mean the decision will be easy.

This book is designed to help leaders in the church to faithfully prepare to engage the world in whatever setting they may be currently serving in!
Written over the course of a year punctuated by escalating terrorism and global turmoil, this compilation of fifty-one Divrei Torah asks the reader to confront challenging questions. What do I truly believe? How should I best fashion my conduct? Why does our world seem so random and unfair? What does Torah Judaism ask of me? How can I find meaning in my life? The one thing I ask, King David says in the book of Tehillim, is to be close to God. This single thought, central to the very existence of a Torah Jew, permeates every chapter of Tehillim. With these Divrei Torah, one for each week of the Jewish calendar, the author unpacks the wisdom of Tehillim, seamlessly integrating this wisdom with...

Ordinary Heroes recreates the sights, sounds and textures of a world gone by - a world of freedom, innocence and mystery - where boys leave home at 6:00 in the morning and return home for dinner - a world of sleep outs and midnight escapades. 14 year old Randy's life begins as a near-death experience. But - cerebral palsy aside - by 1959, he loves Sandra Dee, Sandy Koufax, the Dodgers, Wolfman Jack - and a girl named Daisy Clover - in that order. Things begin to pop when the boys poke around the crumbling Jefferson place and discover perplexing evidence - pointing to something very different than the official version of their neighborhood hero's death - confusing clues, threatening notes, phone calls - and violence. If 19 year old Scotty Jefferson's death is an "open and shut, police slam dunk" - why all the fuss? Ordinary Heroes salutes the goodness of boys everywhere!
