Science and religion embrace to inspire an open future that is creative, compas-sionate and honest.This challenging integration of science and faith is aimed at those seeking to reconcile their religious beliefs and modern science, as well as readers who are seeking a deeper understand-ing of the intersection of Judaism and Process Thought. Theologian Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson explores our actions through Judaism and the sciences as dynamically interactive and mutually informative. He shows us how integrating human knowing with human living can help us arrive at a plausible and likely account of what we can know about the beginning and unfolding of our cos-mos. He offers us new ways to find fresh insights in the cultural and spiritual resources of the Jew-ish tradition—Torah, midrash, philosophy—and new possibilities for human wholeness.

Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, DHL, an inspiring speaker and educator, holds the Abner and Roslyn Goldstine Dean’s Chair of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies and is vice president of American Jewish University in Los Angeles. He is a member of the philosophy department, supervises the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program and men-tors Camp Ramah in California.

6 x 9, 208 pp (est), 978-1-58023-833-5 Hardcover $24.99


You no longer have to choose between what you know and what you believe—an accessible introduction to a theological game-changer. Presents an overview of what Process Theology is and what it can mean for your spiritual life. Rabbi Artson explains how Process Theology can break you free from the strictures of ancient Greek and medieval European philoso-phy, allowing you to see all creation not as this or that, us or them, but as related patterns of energy through which we connect to everything. Armed with Process insights and tools, you can break free from outdated religious dichotomies and affirm that your religiosity, your spirit, your mind and your ethics all strengthen and refine each other.

“ Undertakes the daunting challenge of spelling out a theology that will speak to the mind and soul of the modern reader, and succeeds.”

A powerful, life-affirming new perspective on the Holocaust.

“ Will make you sad, angry and revitalized.”—alan m. DeRSHoWiTZ

“ A moving, unforgettable book.”—SUSan eiSenHoWeR

“ critically important and compelling ... must reading.” —WolF bliTZeR

“ A monumental achievement.”—ambaSSaDoR STUaRT e. eiZenSTaT

Almost ninety children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors—spiritual leaders, theologians, scholars, authors, artists, political and community leaders and media personalities—from sixteen countries on six conti-nents reflect on how the memories transmitted to them have affected their lives. Profoundly personal stories explore faith, identity and legacy in the aftermath of the Holocaust as well as our role in ensuring that future genocides and similar atrocities never happen again.

There have been many books and studies about chil-dren of Holocaust survivors—the so-called second and third generations—with a psycho-social focus. This book is different. It is intended to reflect what they believe, who they are and how that informs what they have done and are doing with their lives.

From major religious or intellectual explorations to shorter commentaries on experiences, quandaries and cultural, political and personal affirmations, contributors respond to this question: how have your parents’ and grandparents’ experiences and examples helped shape your identity and your attitudes toward God, faith, Juda-ism, the Jewish people and the world as a whole?

For people of all faiths and backgrounds, these pow-erful and deeply moving statements will have a profound effect on the way our and future generations understand and shape their understanding of the Holocaust.

Menachem Z. Rosensaft is general counsel of the World Jewish Congress. He teaches about the law of genocide and war crimes trials at the law schools of Columbia and Cornell Universities. He was appointed by Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to the US Holocaust Memorial Council.

Leave your loved ones a legacy of blessings, wisdom, gratitude and hope.Ethical wills are precious spiritual documents, windows into the souls of those who write them, and are often a treasured part of a family’s history. This book—a unique combination of “what is” and “how-to”—offers a step-by-step process to help you prepare an ethical will of your own, and provides a wide range of contemporary ethical wills to help you do it. The emotional power of the nearly one hundred last letters collected here, written by both famous and ordinary Jewish people, will inspire you to live more fully now, and to record your own blessings for the generations to come.

“ this remarkable volume will enrich all those who will read it and meditate upon its infinite wisdom.”

—elie WieSel, nobel peace prize laureate

Rabbi Jack Riemer, a well-known author and speaker, has conducted many workshops and seminars to help people learn about the inspir-ing tradition of ethical wills and to prepare their own. Dr. Nathaniel Stampfer served Spertus Institute in Chicago for many years.

Learn how to live life inspired by the timeless wisdom of Jewish ethical values.Jewish ethical literature is a genre that has been centu-ries in the making—and yet the wisdom and guidance offered in these classic texts has transcended the gap between ancient and medieval worlds and our own society today.

They give us clear explanations of the historical context of each writ-ing and thoughtful applications of their wisdom on the problems we grapple with today.

“ this is the book every rabbi and teacher has been waiting for to help stem the tide of apa-thy and assimilation among Jews who are not aware of how powerful the ethical thrust in Jewish traditional literature truly is.”

—Rabbi Dov peReTZ elkinS, author, the Wisdom of Judaism: An Introduction to the Values of the talmud

Challenges you to go beneath the simple, shocking story of the Akedah and ask: who is the tester, who is the tested and what motivates the test?

By applying this tale’s lessons to everyday events, you will be compelled to pay closer attention to your life and, through your priorities, responsibilities, mindfulness and faith, ask yourself if you are passing your own tests.
