Hardcover Print: $21.50 Hardcover edition.
Largely based on personal interviews with survivors who were there, Those Who Never Yielded recounts the story of "Mati's Men" and their profoundly heroic quest for Torah-greatness in the face of Nazi brutality. Under the leadership of the youthful genius, Mattisyahu Gellmann, these chassidim of the Rebbe of Ger allowed nothing – not even the threat of death – to deter them from their immersion in Torah study and acts of kindness. Far from becoming dehumanized, "Mati's Men" used the horrors of Hitler's war to reach sublime spiritual heights.
Originally published in 1980, this hugely influential book has been out of print for decades.

Hardcover Print: $23.95 Essays on key issues from the Book of Samuel: Why did our first kings need prophecy? Can we see the real David through the muddle of individual perspectives with which we’re presented? Who took responsibility for the disastrous destruction of Nov? What did Eli’s sons really do wrong? And along the way, we’ll describe some general rules to guide us through the complexity of Torah study. When can one idea found in some distant part of Torah literature be applied to enhance our understanding of another? When does one of two seemingly unconnected Torah-events in fact change our understanding of the other? How, in other words, can we be more certain that we really understand what we're reading?

Print: $10.95 Download: $3.31 A Distant Dream by Levi Kaufman, a historical novel, is set against the vivid backdrop of Medieval Europe and the religious hostility that was its hallmark. In the year 1290, England’s twelve thousand Jews became the continent’s first community to face expulsion. Despite oppressive and unfair taxes and restrictive living conditions, the Jews had somehow managed to survive and even prosper. Now they were to be forced to abandon their homes and belongings.
Where should the uprooted families go? Would any other Christian nations welcome them? Would they be allowed to remain in any one place for more than a few years?
Perhaps some tired and idealistic English Jew dreamed of breaking away from Europe and the ever-deepening anguish of his exiled people. Perhaps he spoke to others around him and, together, they make plans. Perhaps there were some who dared to set out for some new land where they could live their lives as Jews. Where they could live undisturbed by the outside world…

Print: $11.95 Download: $4.13 "Oil and Water" is set nearly a century after the building of Jerusalem's Second Temple. Alexander the Great, the Greek conqueror, is dead and his empire is split; its Middle Eastern division contested by the Ptolemies of Egypt and the Syrian Seleucids.
Tens of thousands of Jews, taken to Egypt as slaves some decades before, have only recently been freed. Some of these Jews, though deeply changed by their difficult experiences, sought to return to a homeland many of them had never seen...a homeland which might not even want them back.
"Oil and Water," an historical novel, explores ancient political movements and fundamental struggles over power, glory and, for some, over truth. The book also probes one young man's very personal struggle to choose between idealism and assimilation; between his great thirst to drink from the waters of the Torah and the pain and loneliness of cultural alienation.

Print: $9.92 Download: $2.70 "What is this place?" asked Meir.
Yocheved was quiet. She found herself in an area surrounded on all sides by perfectly trimmed hedges. On both sides, Yocheved saw smaller, square-shaped hedges enclosing empty areas. Thirty feet directly ahead of them was another wall with a narrow gap in the middle. Whatever was on the other side of this one, they couldn't tell.
"It looks like a house with lots of rooms," said Yocheved at last.
"But there's no roof. Who would live here?"
"Ok, I think we can go back home now," suggested Yocheved. This time even Meir wasn't about to rush ahead by himself. The strange presence of first the garden, and then this house was too disturbing even for him.
"Maybe we should go back" he agreed. "But only after one quick peek."
"What if there's someone there?" asked Yocheved.
Meir walked slowly toward the gap in the far wall. "Are you coming?" came his shaky voice.
"I don't know..."
The Klein twins spend their summer exploring...
what someone else has already discovered.
