| Title: Tzadaka Mimeni |
| Sub-title: The Jewish Ethic of Personal Responsibility |
| By (author): Rabbi Steven Pruzansky |
| ISBN10-13: 965229649X : 9789652296498 |
| The notion of personal responsibility sounds so obvious that for generations it was self-understood. It was associated with maturity, reasoned decision making, acceptance of consequences for one s actions, admissions of guilt and wrongdoing when appropriate, thrift and decency, concern for others and for society at large. But the rise of the entitlement generation has transformed the way we live and look at the world. Too many feel that others i.e., the rest of society are responsible to raise them, feed them, clothe them, educate them, find them spouses, jobs and homes, give them health care, defend them, and satisfy all their physical and emotional needs. That mindset debilitates both the individual and the society; the ethic of personal responsibility needs to be revived for the welfare of both. Fortunately, personal responsibility is at the very heart of the Torah. Rooted in the fundamental doctrine of free choice, the Torah compels us to take responsibility for ourselves and others and shape our personal and national destinies accordingly. This unique book, in the format of essays on each Torah portion, extracts from the Torah itself applications of the Jewish ethic of personal responsibility in areas as diverse as ethics, dating, marriage, parenting, family life, employment, divine service, military service, acts of kindness, repentance, private property ownership, wealth, Torah study, mitzvot, modesty, justice, gratitude, sensitivity, Jewish national life, holiness and more, leaving us with a profound vision for modern man and his search for meaning and happiness. |

| Title: (IN)SIGHTS |
| Sub-title: Thirty Years of Peacemaking in the Oslo Process |
| By (author): Ari Afilalo, Gideon Grinstein |
| ISBN10-13: 9657801486 : 9789657801482 |
| Gidi Grinstein was the youngest delegate at the Camp David summit in July 2000 with the participation of President Clinton, Prime Minister Barak, and Chairman Arafat. Serving as secretary of the Israeli delegation and assistant chief negotiator, Gidi wore many hats for the Israeli team, including note taker, writer of policy papers, co-drafter of agreements, junior negotiator, and sometimes just a "fly on the wall." He was a witness â in person or through the reports of his bosses and colleagues â to almost every development during that historic period. |

“A Bit of Wit, A World of Wisdom, is a small book in page numbers, but a big book in content. From beginning to end it has only 162 pages, but each page is a gem. The book is easy to read and accomplishes its goal. Each essay begins with a short witty piece, and then a longer piece of wisdom expressing a lesson on life - the two pieces, the wit and the wisdom are generally connected, though in some essays more loosely than in others. The wisdom portions are truly wise, and even though some of them contain ideas many of us probably already know or have heard before, Kurland expresses them with a clarity and style that makes the reader open to absorbing them. A Bit of Wit, a World of Wisdom by Yehoshua Kurland is definitely worth a read, and it will be an enjoyable and thought-provoking one!” – lifeinisrael/blogspot.co.il

"Wish I’d been endowed with wit; wish I’d had wisdom. Bereft of both, I revel in Yehoshua Kurland’s delightful compendium of humor and ethics. As a lecturer of Talmud, the rabbi (in Far Rockaway, NY) begins each essay with a joke, hoping to engage and inspire his students and readers. In an essay about the importance of communication in marriage, the author quotes a famous jokester: "It first occurred to me that our marriage might be in trouble when my wife won an all-expense-paid trip for two to Hawaii, and she went—twice!" Lesson to be learned, Kurland says, "In those moments of dissension, a wrong word, even unintended, can go straight to the nerve, or even worse, can stab through the heart." What’s called for is ongoing support to allow these painful moments to dissipate through the bond of your love and respect." - Tim Boxer, 15minutesmagazine.com July 2014

“Our sages teach us that a shiur should begin with a joke. Doing so will get the students into a good mood, and the message will be better received. And so it is with A Bit of Wit, A World of Wisdom (Volume 2). The book is a delightful compilation of mussar and self-help messages that all begin with a joke or funny story.” - Rabbi Ari Enkin, Torah Book Reviews blog

| Title: A Brief and Visual History of Anti-Semitism |
| By (author): Israel B. Bitton |
| ISBN10-13: 9657801109 : 9789657801109 |
| The world is in crisis: antisemitism, the "longest hatred," is rearing its ugliest heads, again. Although much has been written about the subject, very little has been done to educate the public specifically about antisemitismâ existing curricula are either outdated or not comprehensive, and none are designed to be engaging, especially to the younger audiences that need to learn this subject most.A Brief and Visual History of Antisemitism aims to fill that glaring gap, not merely as a history textbook but as an epidemiological study that analyzes the pathology of the antisemitism virus from ancient to modern times: when, where, and how did antisemitism first emerge?How did the disease of Jew-hatred spread so far and wide? Why has the hateful virus proven so resilient over time? The goal of this highly visual book is thus not merely to informof what has already transpired, but to empower individuals to make sense of the avalanche of anti-Jewish invective in real-time. As anadded feature, Augmented Reality technology allows readers to use their phones (and a free app) to scan highlighted areas and reveal a trove of bonus contents such as archival footage, animations, official documents, and 3D objects that offer immersive perspectives on historical landmarks. |

| By (author): Yissakhar BenYaacov |
| ISBN10-13: 9652295396 : 9789652295392 |
