Many Americans recall Frank's lacerating wit, whether it was directed at the Clinton impeachment (\"What did the president touch, and when did he touch it?\") or the pro-life movement (some people believe \"life begins at conception and ends at birth\"). But the contours of his private and public lives are less well-known. For more than four decades, he was at the center of the struggle for personal freedom and economic fairness. From the battle over AIDS funding in the 1980s to the debates over \"big government\" during the Clinton years to the 2008 financial crisis, the congressman from Massachusetts played a key role. In 2010, he coauthored the most far-reaching and controversial Wall Street reform bill since the era of the Great Depression, and helped bring about the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this feisty and often moving memoir, Frank candidly discusses the satisfactions, fears, and grudges that come with elected office. He recalls the emotional toll of living in the closet and how his public crusade against homophobia conflicted with his private accommodation of it. He discusses his painful quarrels with allies; his friendships with public figures, from Tip O'Neill to Sonny Bono; and how he found love with his husband, Jim Ready, becoming the first sitting member of Congress to enter a same-sex marriage. He also demonstrates how he used his rhetorical skills to expose his opponents' hypocrisies and delusions.

From the transformation on the road to Damascus of the Jew Saul into the Christian evangelist Paul to a twenty-first-century “religious marketplace” in which half of Americans have changed faiths at least once, nothing has been more important in the struggle for reason than the right to believe in the God of ones choice or to reject belief in God altogether.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on the long, tense convergence of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—each claiming possession of absolute truth—Jacoby examines conversions within a social and economic framework that includes theocratic coercion (unto torture and death) and the more friendly persuasion of political advantage, economic opportunism, and interreligious marriage. Moving through time, continents, and cultures—the triumph of Christianity over paganism in late antiquity, the Spanish Inquisition, John Calvins dour theocracy, Southern plantations where African slaves had to accept their masters religion—the narrative is punctuated by portraits of individual converts embodying the sacred and profane. The cast includes Augustine of Hippo; John Donne; the German Jew Edith Stein, whose conversion to Catholicism did not save her from Auschwitz; boxing champion Muhammad Ali; and former President George W. Bush. The story also encompasses conversions to rigid secular ideologies, notably Stalinist Communism, with their own truth claims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, Jacoby offers a powerful case for religious choice as a product of the secular Enlightenment. In a forthright and unsettling conclusion linking the present with the most violent parts of the Wests religious past, she reminds us that in the absence of Enlightenment values, radical Islamists are persecuting Christians, many other Muslims, and atheists in ways that recall the worst of the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/2.jpg?v=1747072654\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40701666754717,"sku":"9780375423758","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/products\/strange-gods-9780375423758-5289588.jpg?v=1769969526"},{"product_id":"maus-ii-and-here-my-troubles-began","title":"Maus II And Here My Troubles Began by Art Spiegelman","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaperback, 144 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Art Spiegelman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcclaimed as a quiet triumph and a brutally moving work of art, the first volume of Art Spiegelman's Mausintroduced readers to Vladek Spieglman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist trying to come to terms with his father, his father's terrifying story, and History itself.

At every level this is the ultimate survivor's tale—and that too of the children who somehow survive even the survivors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopnmajh.com\/products\/maus-i-ii-7-847384012691?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=51e2b4f0e\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComplete Maus in Spa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopnmajh.com\/products\/complete-maus-7-847384013327?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=51e2b4f0e\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eComplete Maus in English\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopnmajh.com\/products\/maus-i-my-father-bleeds-history?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=51e2b4f0e\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaus, Vol 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/2.jpg?v=1747072654\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin-Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40702001479837,"sku":"9780679729778","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/maus-ii-and-here-my-troubles-began-by-art-spiegelman-846140.jpg?v=1762461209"},{"product_id":"the-borscht-belt-revisiting-the-remains-of-americas-jewish-vacationland","title":"The Borscht Belt: Revisiting the Remains of America's Jewish Vacationland by Marisa Scheinfeld","description":"\u003cp\u003eby Marisa Scheinfeld (Photographer), Stefan Kanfer (Contributor), Jenna Weissman Joselit (Contributor)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardcover, 200 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday the Borscht Belt is recalled through the nostalgic lens of summer swims, Saturday night dances, and comedy performances. But its current state, like that of many other formerly glorious regions, is nothing like its earlier status. Forgotten about and exhausted, much of its structural environment has been left to decay. The Borscht Belt, which features essays by Stefan Kanfer and Jenna Weissman Joselit, presents Marisa Scheinfeld's photographs of abandoned sites where resorts, hotels, and bungalow colonies once boomed in the Catskill Mountain region of upstate New York.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book assembles images Scheinfeld has shot inside and outside locations that once buzzed with life as year-round havens for generations of people. Some of the structures have been lying abandoned for periods ranging from four to twenty years, depending on the specific hotel or bungalow colony and the conditions under which it closed. Other sites have since been demolished or repurposed, making this book an even more significant documentation of a pivotal era in American Jewish history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Borscht Belt presents a contemporary view of more than forty hotel and bungalow sites. From entire expanses of abandoned properties to small lots containing drained swimming pools, the remains of the Borscht Belt era now lie forgotten, overgrown, and vacant. In the absence of human activity, nature has reclaimed the sites, having encroached upon or completely overtaken them. Many of the interiors have been vandalized or marked by paintball players and graffiti artists. Each ruin lies radically altered by the elements and effects of time.

For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annex” of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/2.jpg?v=1747072654\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin-Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40702037622941,"sku":"9780385480338","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/anne-frank-the-diary-of-a-young-girl-definitive-edition-paperback-reprint-523221.jpg?v=1762461281"},{"product_id":"leonard-bernstein-an-american-musician","title":"Leonard Bernstein: An American Musician by Allen Shawn","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA fresh appreciation of the great musical figure that gives him his due as composer as well as conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeonard Bernstein stood at the epicenter of twentieth-century American musical life.

Along the way, Schram enjoys close encounters with such luminaries as Noble Laureates Elie Wiesel and Isaac Bashevis Singer, as well as famed Yiddish-theater actress Molly Picon, actor Jeff Goldblum, singer\/ethnomusicologist Ruth Rubin and others.\u003cbr\u003eWritten by storytelling studies professor and performer Caren Schnur Neile, the stories are in a form tailor-made to enjoy and share aloud. At the same time, theyserve as models for all those interested in creating their own life and family stories, whatever their background, whether on the page, on the stage, or among neighbors and loved ones.\u003cbr\u003eWelcome to Peninnah’s World.

José can read and write and is called “an educated freak.” He is a kid trying to figure out where he fits in and becomes even more confused when he finds out from his father that he is Jewish. His father fled Portugal to escape the Inquisition. However, the inquisitor has followed them to Santo Domingo and goes after Jose’s father. In fleeing for his life, José boards the pirate ship the Laqish and discovers that the captain is also Jewish, and he has a vendetta against the inquisitor. Jose stays aboard the Laquish, learning to be a pirate, and helping Captain Toldedano in his quest for revenge. The graphic novel format highlights all the exciting swashbuckling adventures.

A passion for perfection, a keen business sense, cutthroat competitive instincts, and devotion to their customers led four generations of Zabars to create the Upper West Side shrine to the cheese, fish, meat, produce, baked goods, and prepared products that heralded the twentieth-century revolution in food production and consumption.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLori Zabar—Louis’s granddaughter—begins with her grandfather’s escape from Ukraine in 1921, following a pogrom in which several family members were killed.

She paints a delectable portrait of Zabar’s as it is today—the intoxicating aromas, the crowds, the devoted staff—and shares behind-the-scenes anecdotes of the long-time employees, family members, eccentric customers, and celebrity fans who have created a uniquely American institution that honors its immigrant roots, revels in its New York history, and is relentless in its devotion to the art and science of selling gourmet food.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e240 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6.26 x 1.06 x 9.02 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/2.jpg?v=1747072654\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin-Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43010099118237,"sku":"9780805243390","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/zabars-a-family-story-with-recipes-981838.png?v=1762463449"},{"product_id":"the-ivy-hero-7-847384018964","title":"The Ivy Hero: The Brave Life of Sergeant William Shemin","description":"\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"b2bUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"7zmbpy-mj7hy0-yrqwx5-z1qg1g\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1947951645\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"b2bUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"b2bUpsell\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"b2bUpsell\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003e8-12 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"b2bUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"7zmbpy-mj7hy0-yrqwx5-z1qg1g\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1947951645\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"b2bUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"b2bUpsell\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"b2bUpsell\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003e120 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"b2bUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"7zmbpy-mj7hy0-yrqwx5-z1qg1g\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1947951645\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"b2bUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"b2bUpsell\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"b2bUpsell\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"b2bUpsell_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"a-normal a-spacing-small couponTable\"\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Ivy Hero\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e is the true story of Sergeant William (Bill) Shemin, child of immigrants, an American soldier who fought in World War I.  Dedicated, fearless, and brave, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously in 2015 by President Barack Obama.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"9fenc3-xzjm4p-2w7zhx-u30tuw\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1947951645\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"bookDescription\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"bookDescription\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-height: none; height: auto;\" class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-spacing-base a-expander-partial-collapse-container\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"140\" data-a-expander-name=\"book_description_expander\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Ivy Hero\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e?

Like Bill, Henry Johnson’s bravery in saving his fellow soldiers’ lives went unrecognized with a Medal of Honor in his lifetime, even though his actions certainly called for one. William Shemin was discriminated against because he was a Jewish American, and there was a pronounced mood of anti-Semitism in the United States in 1918. Henry Johnson was discriminated against because he was African American at a time when African Americans were severely discriminated against in the U.S. Army and throughout American life.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/1.jpg?v=1746735216\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44032144802102,"sku":"9781947951648","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/the-ivy-hero-the-brave-life-of-sergeant-william-shemin-511572.png?v=1762463587"},{"product_id":"martin-luther-king-the-peacefu-7-847384019017","title":"Martin Luther King: The Peaceful Warrior by Ed Clayton","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eFollow the inspiring life of Martin Luther King Jr. in a moving, vital, and informative book by an author and an illustrator with close ties to Dr. King’s family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to helping people, first as a Baptist minister and scholar and later as the foremost leader in the African-American civil rights movement.

Joe Cherry was 20. Mary Mitnick, the belle of South Philadelphia, was 17. That kiss between the author's parents ignited a remarkable love story, the subject of Cherry Delight. Starting married life with little but grit and determination, Joe and Mary survived the Great Depression and World War II. In post-war America, they thrived: Joe built successful food businesses-among them the business that created the iconic Slim Jim; Mary filled the family with good food (Jewish and American) and good values. Generous and big hearted, they shared their success and love, enriching many lives around them-none more than the author's. Robert Cherry, the acclaimed biographer of Wilt Chamberlain, spent three years writing his own parents' inspiring story, gathering material from government and synagogue archives in the Ukraine, his father's diaries, family letters, and interviews with friends and relatives. (And even if, unlike Wilt, the author's parents never led the NBA in rebounding or scoring, they are well worth reading about and spending time with.) However, this book is more than a memoir. It is a tribute to the Greatest Generation, a chronicle of courage, devotion and mettle. Yet the story also includes the dark days that inevitably intrude on even the sunniest of lives. Beginning in the Russian Empire and unfolding in Philadelphia, this narrative spans the late nineteenth century to the first decade of the twenty-first. The story of one family, in truth it is a story that will resonate with anyone whose ancestors built a life in America. Or who just enjoys a well-told tale. Come meet Joe and his beloved Mary-a Cherry Delight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e230 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 x 0.52 x 9 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/2.jpg?v=1747072654\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram\/Perseus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44305774903606,"sku":"9780991386413","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/cherry-delight-9780991386413-6661319.jpg?v=1770402386"},{"product_id":"one-nation-under-god-7-847384009824","title":"One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America by Kevin M.

Judaism understands that not only does it have to adapt as part of its cultural dance, but it also has to choose and to create in order to complete its mission: to help modern Jews, the children of Spinoza, and the disciples of Einstein, to stay on course, to see the poetry written into the cosmos, and to help one another on the road to contentment with kindness, with concern and with love.

They sought not mere sovereignty, but the creation of a “national home for the Jewish people,” where Jewish life would be transformed and where a “new Jew” would take root. Did they succeed?

Using the country’s Declaration of Independence as his measure, he provides a thorough, balanced perspective on the ways in which the Israel of today exceeds the country’s original aspirations, but also the ways in which it has fallen short. In a deft and multifaceted assessment of Israel, he discusses the often-overlooked reasons for Israel’s creation, the flourishing of Jewish and Israeli culture, Israel’s economy and its transformative tech sector, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the distinctly Israeli form of Judaism that has emerged in the Jewish state, Israel’s complex relationship with the Diaspora, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGordis offers new angles of thinking about Israel that bring moderation and clarity to the prevailing discourse.

He counted as close friends a profoundly influential group of artists—Leonard Bernstein, Truman Capote, James Baldwin, Harold Brodkey, Renata Adler, Sidney Lumet, and Mike Nichols—who shaped the cultural life of the American twentieth century.

While their affluence made them unusual, their story mirrors that of the largely forgotten population of mixed African and Jewish ancestry that constituted as much as ten percent of the Jewish communities in which the siblings lived, and sheds new light on the fluidity of race--as well as on the role of religion in racial shift--in the first half of the nineteenth century.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003eHardcover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e320 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9.45 x 1.34 x 6.3 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/2.jpg?v=1747072654\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0197530478\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"ce7lhy-url7qj-sd8k08-r8gy51\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0197530478\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"uv3cut-l6tlz6-eti8fh-tfb0ez\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0197530478\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"lq48wy-iec6cz-a3ngwi-pcwbd3\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-2\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"k42sts-o5zw5j-a3a9hn-ehkfoy\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstancepo7reguzGKIF2vkctccNtg\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_1\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"0197530478\" data-marketplace=\"ATVPDKIKX0DER\" data-logged-in=\"true\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51829165064502,"sku":"9780197530474","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/once-we-were-slaves-885147.jpg?v=1762467380"},{"product_id":"a-promised-land-1","title":"A Promised Land: Jewish Patriots, the American Revolutioin, and the Birth of Religious Freedom by Adam Jortner","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eA new history that centers Judaism at the dawn of the United States\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJews played a critical role both in winning the American Revolution--fighting for the Patriot cause from Bunker Hill to Yorktown--and in defining the republic that was created from it. As the most visible non-Christian religion, Judaism was central to the debate over religious freedom in America at a critical juncture. During the war every city with a synagogue fell to the British-with the exception of Philadelphia, birthplace to the Declaration of Independence and a core of resistance. Jewish patriots throughout the colonies flocked to the city, where they re-founded the local synagogue as a distinctively American organization. After the war, Jews began to press for full citizenship in the hope that liberty would apply to everyone, and that the limits to freedom imposed on Jews in the Old World would be removed in the New.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Adam Jortner shows in this eye-opening account, the decision to extend citizenship to all religions was not a twentieth-century phenomenon prompted by immigration and Supreme Court rulings, but a debate the Founding generation itself had had-unambiguously deciding against the idea of nation defined exclusively by Christianity. Instead, the Founders, Jewish patriots, and their allies, sought and achieved the broadest possible definition of religious liberty, and the separation of church and state. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eA Promised Land\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sheds new light on this key struggle in early America and the driving forces behind it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover, Published: 30 August 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e344 Pages, 6 1\/8 x 9 1\/4 inches\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/2.jpg?v=1747072654\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51829168439606,"sku":"9780197536865","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/a-promised-land-923944.jpg?v=1762467383"},{"product_id":"night-memorial-edition","title":"Night: Memorial Edition by Elie Wiesel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA memorial edition of Elie Wiesel’s seminal memoir of surviving the Nazi death camps, with tributes by President Obama and Samantha Power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen Elie Wiesel died in July 2016, the White House issued a memorial statement in which President Barack Obama called him “the conscience of the world.” The whole of the president’s eloquent tribute serves as a foreword to this memorial edition of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. “Like millions of admirers, I first came to know Elie through his account of the horror he endured during the Holocaust simply because he was Jewish,” wrote the president.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1986, when Wiesel received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wrote, “Elie Wiesel was rescued from the ashes of Auschwitz after storm and fire had ravaged his life.
