Early Jewish Cookbooks
Winner of the Association of Jewish Libraries' 2022 Judaica Bibliography Award. The seven essays in this volume focus such previously unexplored subjects as the world’s first cookbook printed in Hebrew letters, published in 1854, and a wonderful 19th-century Jewish cookbook, which in addition to its Hungarian edition was also published in Dutch in Rotterdam. The author entertainingly reconstructs the history of bólesz, a legendary yeast pastry that was the specialty of a famous, but long defunct Jewish coffeehouse in Pest, and includes the modernized recipe of this distant relative of cinnamon rolls. Koerner also tells the history of the first Jewish bookstore in Hungary (founded as early...
Languages in Jewish Communities, Past and Present
This book offers sociological and structural descriptions of language varieties used in over 2 dozen Jewish communities around the world, along with synthesizing and theoretical chapters. Language descriptions focus on historical development, contemporary use, regional and social variation, structural features, and Hebrew/Aramaic loanwords. The book covers commonly researched language varieties, like Yiddish, Judeo-Spanish, and Judeo-Arabic, as well as less commonly researched ones, like Judeo-Tat, Jewish Swedish, and Hebraized Amharic in Israel today.
Juden und ihre Nachbarn
The series European-Jewish Studies reflects the international network and competence of the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European Jewish studies (MMZ). Thanks to the highly interdisciplinary character of the series, which is edited in collaboration with the Selma Stern Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg, particular emphasis is placed on the way in which history, the humanities and cultural sciences approach the subject, as well as on fundamental intellectual, political and religious questions that inspire Jewish life and thinking today, and have influenced it in the past. The CONTRIBUTIONS publish excellent monographs and anthologies on the entire spectrum of themes from Jewish studies. The series is peer-reviewed.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, 1933–1945: Volume III
Accounts of significant sites in Hungary, Vichy France, Italy, and other nations, part of the multi-volume reference praised as a “staggering achievement” (Jewish Daily Forward). This third volume in the monumental seven-volume encyclopedia, prepared by the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, offers a comprehensive account of camps and ghettos in, or run by, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Vichy France (including North Africa). Each entry discusses key events in the history of the ghetto; living and working conditions; activities of the Jewish Councils; Jewish responses to persecution; demographic changes; and details of the ghetto’s liquidation. Personal testimonies help convey the character of each ghetto, while source citations provide a guide to additional information. Documentation of hundreds of smaller sites—previously unknown or overlooked in the historiography of the Holocaust—make this an indispensable reference work on the destroyed Jewish communities of Eastern Europe.

Zsidó nők
Van-e zsidó nőiség, és ha igen, miképp reagál arra a környezet? Van-e zsidó női démon? Felhasználható-e a női vonzerő egyéni céljainkért vagy a közösség érdekében? Mit sugall a zsidó nők életpéldája? Segítette-e vagy éppen ellenkezőleg: megnehezítette a nők sikerét zsidóságuk a tudomány, a film, a költészet, a zene, a színház, a sport, a politika, a festészet, a popzene vagy az üzlet világában? A világkultúra nagyon sokat kapott a zsidóságtól: az egyistenhitet, a Bibliát, a szeretet vallását, a teljesítmények tiszteletét és a semmit sem tisztelő humort – de mit kapott a világ a zsidó nőtől? A Jákób csillagai és a Magyar menóra szerzője legújabb könyvében ezekre a kérdésekre keresi a választ.
