This new book will be of interest to some:

Kosher ADHD: Surviving and Thriving in The Torah-Observant World

Kosher ADHD offers a practical yet creative approach how to transform the
chaos of ADHD into a fulfilling Torah-observant lifestyle. Synthesizing
Jewish insight and sensitivities with contemporary psychological theories
and research, Drs. Chesner and Markowitz provide all who struggle with ADHD
- parents, teachers, children, adults, and therapists - with structured
guidelines to empower the ADHD individual to thrive personally, and within
the family, school, and community. It includes detailed strategies for how
someone with ADHD can overcome difficulties with prayer, Shabbat, Torah
study, and other central aspects of Judaism. This book is a revolution in
guidance for Jewish families living a Torah-based life and struggling with
the challenges of ADHD.

[ha-Safran] New Book Series on Basics of Jewish Belief and Faith

2021-10-31 Thread Stuart Schnee via Hasafran

I think some here will find this of interest:

New Book Series on Basics of Jewish Belief and Faith

Three volumes reinforce belief, increase passion and deepen commitment.

The Unbroken Chain

In this fascinating book, master-educator and author Rabbi David Sapirman
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mosaicapress.com/sapirman/__;!!KGKeukY!iBbVYbldsmYultNAYvdcTJmdSll4mbDt-_29RVGX6dSK5TcA423Wjve9FoMOcL9cu6I$
> illustrates that the Oral Torah we
have today is the original, authentic one that was given to Moshe on Mount
Sinai. This unique and essential book explains many perplexing issues, and
will undoubtedly bring considerable clarity to understanding and belief in
the Oral Torah.

The Unbroken Chain offers everyone, young or old, the opportunity to
comprehend the system of the Oral Torah and answer its related questions
with ease. Considering its subject, depth, and comprehensive explanation,
this unique work is sure to be classic.

Emunah

The Torah has been transmitted to us with extreme care and precision. The
Rambam believed in it and passed it on. The Vilna Gaon believed in it and
passed it on. Our grandparents believed in it and passed it on. While
receiving a tradition handed down from generation to generation can be
enough for us to trust and live by, substantiating faith with one's own
thinking and intellect offers huge advantages. It provides excitement - a
passion and an enthusiasm that make the Torah alive and vibrant. It helps
tailor our Torah lives to our individual minds and souls. It helps make
Judaism real.

No magical "leap of faith" is necessary in order to believe. All we need is
clear thinking - as demonstrated in this incredible book. In this 'refresher
course' to emunah, we will rediscover why we believe, and will be able to
pray and learn with ever-increasing levels of emunah and connection to
Hashem.

Tranquility and Travail

Common sense seems to dictate that the world should be run simply and
clearly: good people should be rewarded and bad people should be punished.

However, that's just not the way things are. Naturally, we wonder why. Why
did that wonderful person go through such pain? Why do innocent children
die? And why do evil people sometimes seem to succeed?

This question is as ancient as the world itself. King
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David__;!!KGKeukY!iBbVYbldsmYultNAYvdcTJmdSll4mbDt-_29RVGX6dSK5TcA423Wjve9FoMOzMiNLSs$
> David addressed it in chapter 73 of
Tehillim, saying that this question often knocks people off their feet and
drives them off the path of Hashem. Shlomo Hamelech writes repeatedly in
Koheles that this is one of the main reasons why people sin, since the
difference between good and bad is not apparent to them in this life. And
this was one of Moshe's main questions to Hashem.

Indeed, throughout the millennia, this gnawing question continues to
frustrate and discourage people from serving the Creator properly. However,
while we cannot fully understand G-d's ways, Tanach and the statements of
Chazal do offer glimpses into the ways of Divine providence. There are
answers to much of the mystery. This comprehensive and easy-to-read book
shares core information and key insights from Torah sources.

About the Author
Rabbi Dovid Sapirman is a former student of the Philadelphia, Ponevezh, and
Lakewood Yeshivot. Over the course of his career in education, he has been a
teacher, author and public speaker. He is passionate about offering chizuk
in emunah to bnei Torah of all ages and backgrounds. Rabbi Sapirman's
popular audio and video lectures have enhanced the lives of tens of
thousands of people across the globe. Rabbi Sapirman has taught and lectured
in the yeshiva and kiruv world for almost 4 decades. He has developed an
expertise in presenting the fundamentals of Jewish faith - to a wide range
of listeners. He has spoken to hundreds of educators and tens of thousands
of students in schools across the spectrum all over the world.

[ha-Safran] New book commemorates 50th anniv. of Six Day War

2017-06-01 Thread Stuart Schnee

 

 

 

A Diary Helps Commemorate

50th Anniversary of Six Day War

 

The dramatic, day-by-day journal of an American family

in Israel during the Six Day War.

 

A Riveting Firsthand Account 

 

In advance of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Six Day War, Feldheim
Publishers is proud to reissue Rabbi Emanuel Feldman's bestselling firsthand
account of life on the Israeli home front before and during the war.

 

Rabbi Feldman was on a sabbatical in Israel with his family in the time
before and during the Six Day War. His decision to keep a daily account of
the tense weeks before the war and during the war itself led to a dramatic,
day-by-day journal telling the story of an American family and an entire
nation who lived through the frantic and historical days of June 1967.

This is an honest and candid portrayal, without frills or embellishments
allowing readers to relive it as it was: the fear, agony, and despair, as
well as the joy, triumph, and laughter. And you will meet the Israelis as
they were, not romanticized or idealized, but as flesh-and-blood people -
the heretics and the pious, the sinners and the saints, the cowards and the
brave. 

This engaging volume will enable readers to live this exciting moment in
Jewish history which took Israel from the brink of disaster to that moment
of miraculous triumph which stunned the world on the 28th of Iyar, 1967.

[ha-Safran] A Historical Cliffhanger.....on Masada

2016-03-09 Thread Stuart Schnee

Dear Librarians,

 

Menorah Books is pleased to announce the publication of The Scroll by Miriam
Feinberg Vamosh. Information on the book follows below. 

Libraries ordering from the publisher received a 40% discount. Order can be
placed by calling 702-763-5781 or writing:

The Scroll

A Historical Cliffhanger.on Masada

 

A sensational but little known archaeological find, the divorce document of
a woman named Miriam issued at the desert fortress of Masada is the basis
for this new historical page turner. Beginning with a fateful decision by
Miriam, a strong-willed survivor on Masada's final, horrific day, the tale
spans three generations of her descendants.  This saga extends from the
depths of her despair on a barren desert plateau to the glittering city of
Alexandria where Miriam sought love and a future, and back to the Holy Land,
where, amid the clashing cultures at Beit Guvrin, the storied city of
Zippori and, finally, at the emerald oasis of Ein Gedi, the past continues
to stalk her, threatening to devour her children.

The Scroll is an adventure-rich voyage through the ancient customs and
beliefs of Judaism and early Christianity and the challenges both faced in a
hostile world.  Readers are transported to the very roads and markets,
palaces and hovels, synagogues and village squares of ancient Judea, where
The Scroll's characters choose between nation and family, and finally,
between life and death.  Will Miriam's descendants learn the lessons of her
life, or will enemies - within and without - rob those lessons from them? 

Although The Scroll deals with events that took place two millennia ago, it
sheds light which helps make sense of the complexities of today's Israel and
the choices its leaders make.

About the Author

Miriam Feinberg Vamosh was born in Trenton, NJ and has lived in Israel since
1970.  Her love for the Bible and ancient texts deepened over many years
working as a tour educator.  Miriam's interest in the New Testament led her
to weave together Jewish literary sources, traditions and beliefs with the
origins of Christianity, and teach about them on-site throughout Israel.
Miriam has published a number of books, including: Teach it to Your
Children: How Kids Lived in Bible Days, Daily Life at the Time of Jesus,
which has been translated into 32 languages, Food at the Time of the Bible,
Women at the Time of the Bible, the award winning Reflections of God's Holy
Land: a Personal Journey Through Israel and hundreds of articles about
Israel's history, archaeology and tour sites.  Miriam translates and edits
the works of scholars and has worked for the Ha'aretz news desk for the past
decade.

[ha-Safran] Author available for speaking events - Running From Giants, Dr. Margareta Ackerman

2015-07-14 Thread Stuart Schnee

I am pleased to inform you that the author of Running From Giants
http://amzn.to/1HZxw2f , Dr. Margareta Ackerman
http://www.runningfromgiants.com/ is available to speak on a variety of
topics to groups throughout North America. There is no honorarium to host
Dr. Ackerman - travel expenses only.

 

Running From Giants is a memoir of an 8 year old boy who survives the
Holocaust by running from the Nazis. This boy became the authors
grandfather. The book is geared for younger readers and contains original
illustrations. There is also a study guide for teachers. More can be seen
here: http://www.runningfromgiants.com/ 

 

Dr. Ackerman speaks on a variety of topics including: What can be learned
from the resilience and optimism of holocaust survivors, the Holocaust
through art, bullying, bigotry etc.

 

Her speaking events have been received very nicely (see testimonials below).
Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss an event or contact
Dr. Ackerman directly at:   mailto:i...@runningfromgiants.com
info@runningfromgiants.

 

TESTIMONIALS:

 

 

I invited Dr. Margareta Ackerman to speak at a meeting of our local
Freethinkers' Forum for which I am a co-director.  She gave a wonderful talk
which was well attended and well received by our group.  She was very
organized and articulate.  She blended facts of history and psychology with
personal anecdotes in an informative and entertaining way.  She spoke not
only from the mind but also from the heart.  The story of her grandfather's
experience during the Holocaust was riveting.  We hope to have her back for
another talk, and I definitely recommend her as a speaker to other groups.  

 

~Gary Whittenberger Ph.D.

-

It was my pleasure and honor to hear Margareta Ackerman's outstanding
presentation titled Faith and Hope After the Holocaust. Margareta's
presentation covered the unique perspectives of some survivors of the Nazi
holocaust...   Margareta's presentation also covered how her grandfather, a
holocaust survivor, had the resilience to survive and retain a positive
outlook on life.  I talked to many people after the presentation, the praise
I heard was unanimous, that it was a powerful and moving presentation.  

~ Jon Lutz

---

Dr. Ackerman's book is a tribute to her grandfather, Srulik Ackerman, and
humanity... Her lectures about her grandfather's epic story bring out deeply
felt personal emotions as she describes the horrific experiences her
grandfather endured struggling to survive and escaping death at the hands
the Nazis.  Running from Giants also conveys a ... profound message about
the incredible strength of the human spirit.

[ha-Safran] 500 Years of Jewish Publishing - The People of the Book

2015-05-17 Thread Stuart Schnee

Dear colleagues.

 

I am pleased to share information about a book which covers 500 years of
Jewish publishing which I thought many here would find of interest. 

 

More information is below and a link to the book page is here:
http://www.feldheim.com/people-of-the-book.html

 

 

 

500 Years in the Making: People of the Book

The Hebrew Book from the Beginning of Printing 

to the Twentieth Century

 

The invention of the printing press created a revolution for Jews
everywhere. Who could imagine at that time the extraordinary benefits that
printing would bring to world Jewry?

People of the Book vividly describes the invention itself, and then takes
readers through five hundred years of Hebrew printing, from the earliest
products of fifteenth-century printers to those of modern times.

Author Akiva Aaronson introduces readers to the first printed editions of
the most well-known and classic Jewish books: The Talmud, the Rambam,
Shulchan Aruch and many more. Meet the famous Hebrew printers of previous
generations: Soncino, Bomber, Romm, Heidenheim, Bak and others. Visit the
Jewish communities where Hebrew printing took place, from its earliest days
until the present: Venice, Salonika, Prague, Amsterdam, Slavita, Warsaw and
Vilna, to name a few.

Weaving lively text with over two hundred magnificent, full-color
photographs of original Hebrew volumes, People of the Book is truly a
journey through time - Jewish time - over five centuries of Hebrew printing.
Follow its odyssey, from persecution and censorship to survival and triumph,
set against the phenomenal history of the times in this beautiful
coffee-table edition.

[ha-Safran] Powerful Photography and Old Text Create New Jewish Prayer Experience

2013-02-18 Thread Stuart Schnee

I am pleased to inform you about the publication of Nehalel beShabbat - the
full Shabbat siddur in the new Nehalel series  in which photos give focus to
the meanings of prayer.

 

A free download of Kabbalat Shabbat excerpted from Nehalel is now available
at: http://www.nehalel.com/kabbalat_shabbat.html

 

 

 

 

Powerful Photography and Old Text Create 

New Jewish Prayer Experience

 

Series of Prayer Books Launched

 

Purchase information: http://www.nehalel.com/buynehalelbeshab.html 

 

 

Nehalel beShabbat is the full Shabbat siddur (prayer book) in the new
Nehalel series.  Modeled on the vastly popular, photographically illustrated
Nevarech bencher (Grace after Meals book), which has sold nearly half a
million copies, Nehalel brings its groundbreaking format to the
siddur-awakening readers to the content of their prayers by juxtaposing
stunning photos, which not only decorate, but also powerfully portray the
meanings in the liturgy. 

 

The wholly traditional, beautifully set Hebrew text is superbly readable,
and the new English translation, while remaining faithful to the Hebrew,
boldly reveals the prayers as elegant and vividly contemporary.
Painstakingly assembled from a wide variety of archives and other sources,
the photos match the text against reality in a way never before seen in a
prayer book.  Spanning over a hundred years, the images highlight the large,
intersecting themes within the siddur: petitioning and celebrating the
Creator for this beautiful world, for the State of Israel, for the overall
redemption of the Jewish people and of humanity as a whole.

 

With over 650 awe-inspiring pages, Nehalel beShabbat is robustly modern yet
thoroughly committed to tradition.  The focusing of our thoughts achieved by
its combination of word and image make it, first and foremost, a siddur for
praying with.  The series will soon include the equally inspiring volumes
for weekday and holiday prayer (Nehalel beChol  Nehalel beRegalim),
continuing the encounter with meaning and majesty first strikingly evoked by
the Nevarech bencher.  More on Nehalel beShabbat at www.nehalel.com
http://www.nehalel.com/ . 

 

About the Editor/Translator

Conception and development of Nehalel, as well as its new English
translation, are the work of Michael Haruni.  Haruni's academic research
background in Philosophy led him to examine the nature of kavanah (the
directing of thought) in prayer.  He is the creator of the innovative
Nevarech bencher, while his stage plays, especially The Stonemason and
STaM, have explored the relation between faith and identity.  He lives in
Jerusalem with his family.

[ha-Safran] New Book: The Jewish Art of Self Discovery

2012-12-12 Thread Stuart Schnee

I am pleased to notify you about the new title The Jewish Art of Self
Discovery by Benjamin Rapaport.

 

This book is available via Ingram, Baker  Taylor, the publisher as well as
Amazon and Jewish book stores everywhere.

 

Enjoy, Stuart Schnee

 

 

 

 

The Jewish Art of Self Discovery

 

.a major contribution to Torah-oriented psychology   -Rabbi Abraham J.
Twerski, M.D.

 

The Jewish Art of Self Discovery gives readers, in as clear and concise a
way as possible, a broad spectrum of the Torah's insights into
self-knowledge. People are busier than ever and need a work that enables
them to connect to an insight that is deeply meaningful, thought and emotion
provoking, and highly relevant in just a few minutes. The eighty pieces that
make up The Jewish Art of Self-Discovery, its stories and reflection
questions, are an attempt to meet this need. 



Rabbi Benjamin Rapaport understands that self-knowledge allows us to access
our inner resources, recognize and shape the lens through which we see the
world, and navigate a course to actualize our highest potential. The Jewish
Art of Self Discovery is a guidebook for entering the gates of this wisdom
of self discovery. This work uses the timeless insights into human nature
contained in Torah literature as its compass. Through the use of concise
essays, stories, and reflective questions, the author brilliantly escorts
the reader along their path.

 

About the Author

Benjamin Rapaport grew up in Great Neck, NY, the son of a famous surgeon and
scientist. Following high school, he decided to take a six-month trip to
Israel that turned into a twenty-year career of study. Ben received semicha
(Rabbinic ordination) from Beth Medrash Govoha of Lakewood, N.J.  in 2002,
taught in the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem for six years, and lectured at a
number of introductory programs to Judaism. More recently, his activities
have included earning a master's degree in Clinical Sociology and
establishing a clinical practice in counseling. Ben currently lives with his
family in Jerusalem, where he works with individuals and groups, helping
them to discover and develop their unique talents and abilities.

[ha-Safran] Understanding the Greatest Bible Translator. In English.

2012-10-15 Thread Stuart Schnee

 

 

 

 

Understanding the Greatest Bible Translator. In English.

 

At last, the English speaking world will be able to understand why our
Sages mandated the weekly reading of Onkelos and why it is imperative for us
today to understand the Torah through the eyes of the most accepted and
popular translator of the Bible in Jewish History.

- Rabbi Yonah Metzger, Chief Rabbi of Israel

 

.an important work for all those who want to take Torah seriously

- Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm, Chancellor, Yeshiva University

 

More than one thousand translations of the Bible have been written; none
achieved the prominence and importance of the Targum Onkelos, an Aramaic
translation of the Pentateuch, written more than 1600 years ago. During the
last decade, Bible scholars Rabbi Dr. Stanley M. Wagner and Rabbi Dr. Israel
Drazin published a five volume translation of the Targum with a running
English commentary.  Understanding Onkelos is a companion volume that, by
Torah portion, provides fifty four lessons that clarify the uniqueness and
brilliance of Onkelos in understanding the biblical text.

 

This is a must read text for all lovers of Torah.

 

About the Authors

Rabbi Dr. Stanley M. Wagner is Professor Emeritus at the University of
Denver and Founding Director and Director Emeritus of its Center for Judaic
Studies; and Founding Director and Director Emeritus of the Mizel Museum in
Denver. He received six degrees of higher learning from Yeshiva University,
including a doctorate in Jewish History. He has written, edited or co-edited
ten volumes and many scholarly articles.

 

Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin is the author of eighteen books, eleven of which are
on the topic of Onkelos.  He was the first scholar to recognize that the
Targum took hundreds of items from the Tannaitic Midrashim - those that were
edited around 400 CE - and even incorporated many words found in these
Midrashim in his translation. He received a number of Rabbinic ordinations,
and earned a B.A. in Theology, an M.Ed. in Psychology, an M.A. in Hebrew
Literature, a J.D. in Law and a Ph.D. in Aramaic Literature. He is currently
working on three forthcoming titles.

[ha-Safran] New for Kids: One Hero. Three Stories. Tzaki and his Holiday Miracles

2012-09-11 Thread Stuart Schnee

Kids will love this colorful and fast moving book. Available via Amazon.

 

 

Tzaki and his Holiday Miracles

 

Three adventure packed stories lead young readers through Jewish holidays as
they share the exploits of Tzaki, an 11 year old Israeli boy as he uses
imagination and ingenuity to help the Israeli army out of difficult
predicaments that seem to have no solution! 

 

Tzaki and his Sukkah

Tzaki is asleep in his Sukkah. He is awakened by mysterious sounds from his
lulav and etrog.  They warn him about Israeli soldiers trapped behind enemy
lines.  Is he ready for a miraculous adventure with his sukkah - a sukkah
that flies?

 

Tzaki's Sukkah and his Magic Dreidel

An Israeli gunboat is grounded by accident on the Saudi Arabian coast.  How
can the gunboat and its crew be rescued without starting a battle?  Will
Tzaki and his younger sister Yonit - like the ancient Maccabees -- be able
to perform a modern-day Hanukkah miracle?

 

Tzaki and the Frozen Helicopters

New up-to-date helicopters have been ordered and shipped from the United
States to Israel.  But a fierce snowstorm has grounded these helicopters
deep in the mountains and gorges of the Austrian Alps.  These helicopters
must reach Israel for a special Passover mission.  The Israeli Air Force
calls upon Tzaki to help!

[ha-Safran] New materials for learning Hebrew.....crafted by bestselling Israeli Children's author

2012-06-07 Thread Stuart Schnee

Dear Librarians –

Menucha Publishing of NY announces new materials for the teaching of Hebrew
crafted by bestselling Israeli Children's author Menucha Fuchs.

A Revolution in עברית Study in Torah Schools

With the program”אנחנו אוהבים עברית by Menucha Fuchs – produced in
conjunction with Torah Umesorah.

This new series was developed especially for North American children,
and aims at teaching children through precision and excitement. Children
taught with this method will master conversational skills with a 180-word
vocabulary after Level 1. They will acquire this through games; films;
stories; grammar, spelling and language exercises… all intended to get
children to love the language.

In the coming school-year, תשעג, primary grade children will be able to
learn via the new method. Levels 1 and 2 are intended for children with
minimal reading and writing skills. Some schools might teach Level 1 and
part of 2 during the first year, depending on the achievement of children.

For the following school year, 4 additional levels will be ready, such
that most elementary grades will have been completely immersed in the
program in a short time.

The series אנחנו אוהבים עברית will constitute a real revolution in
the understanding of Hebrew outside of Eretz Yisrael.

Special emphasis was placed on quick and effective learning, and this
in consideration of the fact that many schools assign only a few hours each
week to learning the language.

Note to Menahalim/os

Torah Umesorah Publications has commissioned the world-renowned Mrs.
Menucha Fuchs to produce, with assistance of TU’s Walder Education Pavilion
(Chicago), a program for teaching עברית in our schools.

The result is a magnificent, multi-faceted and all-encompassing
curriculum, comprised of numerous components, and geared specifically to the
North American chinuch scene. The אנחנו אוהבים עברית program is written
with unparalleled expertise; it is produced completely על פי רוח התורה; and
it is filled with beautiful color illustrations and creative design. The
program, which by next year will include components to Grade 6 and High
School offers all that is necessary for a complete and pervasive study. We
are proud of this achievement and we strongly encourage principals to
explore the program’s implementation in their institutions.

Promotion price : $11.00 /child. This includes all materials— a $35.00
value.

Special emphasis is placed on positive study – no tests, no pressure,
no forced memorization – only learning through enjoyable, positive
reinforcement. Special focus was also placed on the study of speech and
comprehension, before language and grammar rules. According to the new
method, the child should succeed in conversing before learning the complex
grammar rules and without becoming confused by information overload.

Two important goals impacted on the creation of the series: One: that
it shall lead to easier study of Torah by children. Two: to make the child
the “emissary of Hebrew language” at home… to enrich himself, members of the
family and the community around in Hebrew skills.

Each level of the program is augmented by learning components that
speak to a child’s heart, so to speak. All of a child’s senses are addressed
in this method, in order to foster the child’s understanding and love. At
the first level, the child will quickly internalize reading and writing
processes in a fascinating way, making him/her active in the learning
process and to use natural potentials in effectively pursuing the goal.

Program Components:

The reader.

Writing and review workbook.

“Library” readers for strengthening skills

Colored and attractive pocket Dictionary for each level

Teacher’s guide, with detailed activities

Card games to reinforce material

Audio-CD with songs based on the material

DVD with songs and stories.

Figures for easy teacher demonstration in class

Cardboard figures for children

Gifts for children

And much more

More great news! Hebrew-language study at the HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL will
also be revolutionized by a secondary-level אנחנו אוהבים עברית series, by
Menucha Fuchs – also in conjunction with Torah Umesorah. The first level,
for the 9th Grade, will בעזרת ה' be available around Chanukah of the coming
year. After the beginning of the coming school year, details will be
forthcom

[ha-Safran] This is America - new novel on US Jewish immigrant experience

Israel Bookshop Publications is proud to announce the publication of the new
novel This is America by Henya Meyer.

THIS IS AMERICA

 

The Jewish Immigrant Experience ..As it Really Was

 

Before you go to bed.

Mamme stopped Tatte. I've unpacked our good Shabbos tablecloth. Where do I
put it away? Where do you keep yours?  Tatte looked uneasy. He hesitated.
We... ah, we didn't have much use for one, he said at last.  There was a
long silence. Finally Mamme said, Zelig. Tell me the truth. Do you work on
Shabbos? 

 

When the Gordons escaped pogrom-ridden Russia and washed up on the shores of
Ellis Island, little could they have fathomed how the course of their lives
was about to change. Forever. With bustling tenements, endless sweatshops,
and throngs racing madly to work. this was definitely the New World. New
opportunities - and bitter choices. 

In this vivid and well-researched saga, originally seri-alized in the
Hamodia Magazine, gifted author Henye Meyer relives the East Side of the
early 20th century in all its flavor and complexity. We enter the pulsating
realm of pushcarts, labor union strikes.and divided loyalties. 

And so, inundated by waves of financial struggle, social unrest, and
spiritual conflict, this colorful family struggles to stay afloat. 

 

The characters:

 

Tatte: He's determined to support and integrate his immigrant family- but at
what price? 

Mamme: A bedrock of faith and love, will her influence override the great
American Dream? 

Elya: He may have survived his stint in the Russian army, but the
temptations beckoning from the streets of New York are just irresistible. 

Bina-Gittel: Bright and spirited, will she soon resemble her classmates at
PS 137? 

Hershel: Warm-hearted, thoughtful, and still impressionable - he's at the
crossroads. 

 

About the Author

Henye Meyer was born in Phoenixville, PA, and graduated from Brandeis
University.  Although she detests history as it is generally taught, she
loves historical research. She has published two previous novels, with
another in an agent's hands, and has written for various Jewish publications
and the BBC. Mrs Meyer says she has a respectable number of children and
believes she has at least a couple of dozen grandchildren.  She lives in
