| Title: A Philosophy of Havruta |
| Sub-title: Understanding and Teaching the Art of Text Study in Pairs |
| By (author): Elie Holzer, Orit Kent |
| ISBN10-13: 1618113852 : 9781618113856 |
| No longer confined to traditional institutions devoted to Talmudic studies, havruta work, or the practice of students studying materials in pairs, has become a relatively widespread phenomenon across denominational and educational settings of Jewish learning. However, until now there has been little discussion of what havruta text study entails and how it might be conceptualized and taught. This book breaks new ground from two perspectives: by offering a model of havruta text study situated in broader theories of interpretation and learning, and by treating havruta text study as composed of textual, interpersonal and intra-personal practices which can be taught and learned. We lay out the conceptual foundations of our approach and provide examples of their pedagogical implementation for the teaching of havruta text study. Included are illustrative lesson plans, teachers' notes and studentsâ reflections, exercises for students, and other instructional materials for teaching core concepts and practices. |

| ISBN10-13: 1644690780 : 9781644690789 |

Readers are often left tantalized but uncertain how to understand its rich meanings. To what extent is it political? Or religious? And how should we interpret the Satanic Woland? This readerâ s companion offers readers a biographical introduction, and analyses of the structure and the main themes of the novel. More curious readers will also enjoy the accounts of the novelâ s writing and publication history, alongside analyses of the workâ s astonishing linguistic complexity and a review of available English translations. |

| Title: Avant-Garde Art in Ukraine, 1910â 1930 |
| Sub-title: Contested Memory |
| By (author): Myroslav Shkandrij |
| ISBN10-13: 1644696274 : 9781644696279 |
| Many of the greatest avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century were Ukrainians or came from Ukraine. Whether living in Paris, St. Petersburg or Kyiv, they made major contributions to painting, sculpture, theatre, and film-making. Because their connection to Ukraine has seldom been explored, English-language readers are often unaware that figures such as Archipenko, Burliuk, Malevich, and Exter were inspired both by their country of origin and their links to compatriots. This book traces the avant-garde development from its pre-war years in Paris to the end of the 1920s in Kyiv. It includes chapters on the political dilemmas faced by this generation, the contribution of Jewish artists, and the work of several emblematic figures: Mykhailo Boichuk, David Burliuk, Kazimir Malevich, Vadym Meller, Ivan Kavaleridze, and Dziga Vertov. |

| Title: Between Hitler and Churchill |
| Sub-title: Two Jewish Agents and the Attempt by the British Counterintelligence Service to Prevent a Secret Agreement between the Polish Government-in-Exile and Nazi Germany |
| By (author): Yaacov Falkov Translated by: Michael Sigal |
| ISBN13: 9798887196848 |
| Between Hitler and Churchill exposes an unknown facet in the World War II history: the attempt of a senior official in the Polish government-in-exile to collude with the Third Reich and a successful British intelligence operation which thwarted this move in its infancy. This surprising and fascinating event is described through the personal stories of its two main protagonists, Polish Jews. One of them mediated the said Polish-German contacts, while the other assisted the British in capturing the mediator in the Middle East and murdering him there without trial. Although it reads like a historical thriller, the book is based on British, Polish, German and Russian diplomatic and intelligence reports, many of which are revealed and analyzed here for the first time. |

| Title: Daughters of Israel, Daughters of the South |
| Sub-title: Southern Jewish Women and Identity in the Antebellum and Civil War South |
| By (author): Jennifer Stollman |
| ISBN10-13: 1618112066 : 9781618112064 |
| Daughters of Israel, Daughters of the South examines southern Jewish womanhood during the Antebellum and Civil War eras. In an overwhelmingly Protestant South, Jewish women created and maintained unique American Jewish identities through their efforts in education, writing, religious observance, paid and unpaid labor, and relationships with Christian whites and enslaved African-Americans. This book examines how southern Jewish women fought proselytization through their religious convictions, challenged anti-Semitism using public and private writing, maintained a distinctive southern Judaism, promoted their own status and legitimacy as southerners, and worked diligently as Confederate ambassadors. |

| Title: Dreams of Emancipation |
| Sub-title: A Transnational History of Revolutionary Russia |
| Edited by: Norihiro Naganawa |
| ISBN13: 9798887196589 |
| Given Russiaâ s invasion of Ukraine, why do emancipation messages that emanated from Russia count? Navigating multilingual sources, this book addresses the role of Russiaâ s multiethnic society and borderlands in generating kaleidoscopic repercussions of its 1917 Revolution. It also sees the USSRâ s interactions with its neighboring countries as a crucible of the Soviet modality of communism. The book shows how the collapse of the Russian Empire further released a vast range of liberationist projects and dreams, far from confined to the goals of Bolshevism, in its borderlands and beyond, and how the Soviet Union became a highly ambiguous source of emancipatory inspiration in the long twentieth century overshadowing todayâ s global politics. |

| Title: Education after October 7 |
| Sub-title: Essays about Teaching and Learning in the Jewish Diaspora |
| Edited by: Matt Reingold |
| ISBN13: 9798897830695 |
| Education after October 7: Essays about Teaching and Learning in the Jewish Diaspora is the first book dedicated to exploring how the October 7, 2023, terror attacks affected teaching and learning about Israel in the Jewish diaspora. The first three sections of the edited volume bring together quantitative, qualitative, and ethnographic research conducted at schools and camps by scholars from a diverse set of disciplines. These studies consider the perspectives and experiences of learners, parents, teachers (North American and Israeli), and camp directors and counsellors to reveal how terror and war necessitated changes in teaching and learning. The concluding section of the volume contains three chapters that offer educational models that chart new directions for the future of Jewish and Israel education. |
