In Jewish Pride: Rebuilding a People, Ben M. Freeman, inspired by his experiences with LGBTQ+ pride, aims to educate, inspire and empower Jewish people to reject the shame of antisemitism imposed on Jews by the non-Jewish world as well as non-Jewish perceptions of what it means to be a Jew, enabling them to begin the process of defining their own identities as proud Jews through Jewish experience, Jewish history, and Jewish values.

Sparkling with suspense and vulnerability, Tap Dancing on Everest is a true survival story about the risks we take to become our most authentic selves. In this inspiring coming-of-age travel memoir that includes solo hiking through Nepal, Zieman weaves her childhood as the daughter of Jewish immigrants raised in 1970's New York City, her father a Holocaust survivor, with adventure, medicine, and empowerment. She captures the curiosity and awe of a young woman as she faces down messages to stay small and safe and ventures into the unknown.

The conflict between Palestine and Israel is one of the most highly publicized and bitter struggles in history. In this accessible and stimulating Very Short Introduction, Martin Bunton clearly explains the history of the problem, reducing it to its very essence - a modern territorial contest between two nations and one geographical territory.Providing a clear and fair exploration of the main issues, Bunton explores not only the historical basis of the conflict, but also looks at how and why partition has been so difficult and how efforts to restore peace continue today.

Revisionist and biased account of the topic
Revisado: 03-06-24
Lots of detail is s impressive. The history shows an anti Israel account. There are much better reads on this topic. Not recommended.

'Can’t you just explain the Israel situation to me? In, like, 10 minutes or less?' This is the question Daniel Sokatch is used to answering on an almost daily basis as the head of the New Israel Fund, an organization dedicated to equality and democracy for all Israelis, not just Jews. Can We Talk About Israel? is the story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, grappling with a century-long struggle between two peoples that both perceive themselves as (and indeed are) victims.

Are these really the facts?
Revisado: 08-28-23
Well written and performed, this book proposes fairness in its reporting. In my opinion, it describes events from an extremely biased stance. Though it is true that both sides have errored in many ways, the writer washes over Arab led atrocities, and violence while heavy handedly focusing on Israel’s wrongdoings and acts of aggression. The rigid unwillingness to negotiate honestly on the part of the Palestinians is not discussed and this is curious to me. To pose that this book clearly outlines the “facts” and events is misleading and disturbing. The author’s bias is clear if one has some knowledge of history but if not can go unnoticed. Very problematic in my opinion.

When the Jewish families of Berlin start disappearing in nightly raids, 21-year-old Jacob Kagan knows it’s only a matter of time before the trucks come for him. Along with his family and best friend, he flees the country he’s always called home to find shelter in a Dutch refugee camp. Before long, the Netherlands falls to the Nazi war machine - Jacob’s new home is transformed into a transit camp with weekly trains bound for the horrors of the Eastern concentration camps.
