Synopsis The Legacy of Maran Rav Aharon Kotler by : Yitzchok Dershowitz
Rav Aharon Kotler zt"l came to America from Europe in 1942, bringing with him an unprecedented level of Torah learning, a pure and uncompromising dedication to Torah, and a Torah that was truly lishmah. In just 20 years Rav Aharon transformed the face of Torah in America. A Living Mishnas Rav Ahron-The Legacy of Maran Rav Aharon Kotler offers readers an intimate glimpse into the strength and spirit of this great man, through a wealth of stories, vignettes, insights, encounters with other great Jewish leaders, and most importantly, through a vibrant sampling of his teachings - all translated, for the first time, from the classic Mishnas Rav Aharon. Included are insights into chessed, Torah study, emunah, bitachon, hashgocha protis, middos, and much more. There are also entire chapters on the Rebbetzin a"h, Rav Shneur zt"l, Rav Nosson Wachtfogel zt"l, and the Lakewood Kehilla, along with many precious photographs - over 550 pages overflowing with the integrity, character, sanctity, and spirit of this Gadol BaTorah. Meticulously researched, compiled with great care, and beautifully written by one of Rav Aharon's talmidim - an eminent Talmid Chacham - this volume reads like a fascinating book, yet it is a sefer from which you will come away awed, uplifted, and inspired.

Synopsis Emet le-Ya‘akov by : Zev Eleff
Emet le-Ya‘akov comprises a collection of essays celebrating the career and achievements of Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter, who has served the American and international Jewish community with distinction in his roles as a synagogue rabbi, university professor, and public intellectual. These articles, like the honoree, recognize the importance of both history and memory, emphasize the necessity of accuracy in historiography, and do not shy away from inconvenient truths. They are divided into three categories that help frame the discussion around “facing the truths of history”: Textual Traditions, Memory and Making of Meaning, and (Re)Creating a Usable Past. The volume also includes a brief sketch of Schacter’s life and work and a bibliography of his publications.

Synopsis Tablets Shattered by : Joshua Leifer
From esteemed journalist Joshua Leifer, a definitive look at the history and future of American Jewish identity and community from the tipping point we are living in. Tablets Shattered is Joshua Leifer’s lively and personal history of the fractured American Jewish present. Formed in the middle decades of the twentieth century, the settled-upon pillars of American Jewish self-definition (Americanism, Zionism, and liberalism) have begun to collapse. The binding trauma of Holocaust memory grows ever-more attenuated; soon there will be no living survivors. After two millennia of Jewish life defined by diasporic existence, the majority of the world’s Jews will live in a sovereign Jewish state by 2050. Against the backdrop of national political crises, resurgent global antisemitism, and the horrors of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Leifer provides an illuminating and meticulously reported map of contemporary Jewish life and a sober conjecture about its future. Leifer begins with the history of Jewish immigrants in America, starting with the arrival of his great-grandmother Bessie from a shtetl in Belarus and following each subsequent generation as it conformed to the prevailing codes of American Jewish life. He then reports on the state of today’s burning Jewish issues. We meet millennial Jewish racial justice organizers, Orthodox political activists, young liberal rabbis looking to “queer” the Torah through exegesis, Haredi men learning full-time at the world’s largest yeshiva, progressive anti-Zionists attempting to separate Judaism from nationalism, and right-wing Israeli public intellectuals beginning to imagine a future without American Jews. As it traverses today’s Jewish landscape through uncommon personal familiarity with the widest range of Jewish experience, Tablets Shattered also charts the universal quest to build enduring communities amid historical and political rupture.
