Only in America
"Mass merchandising, direct mail advertising, the rise of credit cards, the financing instruments that drove development to the suburbs and helped alter the inner city's manufacturing base, the productivity revolution, the coming of the superstores, the place of ethics in business, now especially so relevant - all these are part of this compelling tale of business life told by a man whose spiritual rebirth is a testimony both to mankind's astonishing resiliency and to the vibrancy of a society that has empowered so many with hope and opportunity."--Jacket.
The Spirituality of Success
The twentieth anniversary release of the classic guide that “shows us not only how to achieve emotional and financial success but also how to maintain it” (Patti Breitman, coauthor of How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty). Through the wisdom of a life spent overcoming his own adversity and helping others, Vincent Roazzi reminds us that accumulating success while maintaining a spiritual center are not mutually exclusive goals. The Spirituality of Success demonstrates that success is a science and explains its principles. The author also dispels many popular myths of achievement and reveals the reasons why success eludes most people. Why haven’t you achieved the success you desire? Here ...
Chosen Capital
At which moments and in which ways did Jews play a central role in the development of American capitalism? Many popular writers address the intersection of Jews and capitalism, but few scholars, perhaps fearing this question’s anti-Semitic overtones, have pondered it openly. Chosen Capital represents the first historical collection devoted to this question in its analysis of the ways in which Jews in North America shaped and were shaped by America’s particular system of capitalism. Jews fundamentally molded aspects of the economy during the century when American capital was being redefined by industrialization, war, migration, and the emergence of the United States as a superpower. Surve...
Reappraisals and New Studies of the Modern Jewish Experience
Reappraisals and New Studies of the Modern Jewish Experience brings together twenty scholars of Modern Jewish history and thought. The essays provide a fresh perspective on several central questions in Jewish intellectual, social, and religious history from the eighteenth century to the present in the contexts of Russia, Western and Central Europe, and the Americas.
Becoming Soviet Jews
An “endlessly rewarding” contribution to the study of Jewish life in the Soviet Union: “Fascinating . . . nuanced and respectful of human limitations” (Slavic Review). Minsk, the present capital of Belarus, was a heavily Jewish city in the decades between the world wars. Recasting our understanding of Soviet Jewish history, Becoming Soviet Jews demonstrates that pre-revolutionary forms of Jewish life in Minsk maintained continuity through the often violent social changes enforced by the communist project. Using Minsk as a case study of the Sovietization of Jews in the former Pale of Settlement, Elissa Bemporad reveals the ways in which many Jews acculturated to Soviet society in the ...
The Jewish Ethicist
The book discusses scores of actual questions on ethical dilemmas in business as well as everyday life. The author, Rabbi Dr. Asher Meir, not only gives answers but also provides a lucid and inspiring presentation of underlying ethical concepts, with special emphasis on the insights of Jewish tradition. The discussions sensitize the reader to ethical concerns in all areas of life, and build a comprehensive foundation of concepts to help resolve these concerns. In discussing topics such as marketing, human resources, and fair competition, attention is given to many up-to-date issues; and there is an entire chapter dedicated to "ethics on the Internet."

Against All Odds
A study of Holocaust survivors who came to America offers a portrait of who they were and how they picked up the pieces of their lives
Ritual Murder in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Beyond
A collection of essays exploring the history of an antisemitic accusation that haunted Jewish people in Europe and Russia, and how it spread. This innovative reassessment of ritual murder accusations brings together scholars working in history, folklore, ethnography, and literature. Favoring dynamic explanations of the mechanisms, evolution, popular appeal, and responses to the blood libel, the essays rigorously engage with the larger social and cultural worlds that made these phenomena possible. In doing so, the book helps to explain why blood libel accusations continued to spread in Europe even after modernization seemingly made them obsolete. Drawing on untapped and unconventional histori...
