JPS B’nai Mitzvah Torah Commentary RABBI JEFFREY K. SALKIN A pivotal book for teens For too many Jewish young people, bar/bat mitz- vah has been the beginning of the end of their Jewish journeys. When students perceive the Torah as incomprehensible or irrelevant, many form the false impression that Judaism has noth- ing to say to them. Enter the game-changer: The JPS B’nai Mitzvah Torah Commentary shows teens in their own language how Torah addresses the issues in their world. The conversational tone is inviting and dignified, concise and substantial, direct and informative. The narrative summaries, “big” ideas, model divrei Torah, haftarot commentaries, and discussion questions will engage teens in studying the Torah and haftarot, in writing divrei Torah, and continuing to learn Torah throughout their lives—making it the book every rabbi, can- tor, parent, and tutor will also want to have. Jewish learning—for young people and adults— will never be the same. “Rabbi Jeff Salkin has enabled b’nai mitzvah Rabbi Jeffrey K.

Saving One’s Own Jewish Rescuers during the Holocaust MORDECAI PALDIEL

Righting the wrongs of Holocaust history In this remarkable, historically significant book, Mordecai Paldiel recounts in vivid detail the many ways in which, at great risk to their own lives, Jews rescued other Jews during the Holocaust. In so doing he puts to rest the widely held belief that all Jews in Nazi-dominated Europe wore blinders and allowed themselves to be led like “lambs to the slaughter.” Paldiel documents how brave Jewish men and women saved thousands of their fellow Jews through efforts unprecedented in Jewish history. Encyclopedic in scope and organized by country, Saving One’s Own tells the stories of hundreds of Jew- ish activists who created rescue networks, escape routes, safe havens, and partisan fighting groups to save beleaguered Jewish men, women, and children from the Nazis. The rescuers’ dramatic stories are “The first of its kind . . .

Justice for All How the Jewish Bible Revolutionized Ethics JEREMIAH UNTERMAN

Biblical ethics vs. Ancient Near East thought Justice for All demonstrates that the Jewish Bible, by radically changing the course of ethical thought, came to exercise enormous influence on Jewish thought and law and also laid the basis for Chris- tian ethics and the broader development of modern Western civilization. Jeremiah Unterman shows us persuasively that the ethics of the Jewish Bible represent a signifi- cant moral advance over Ancient Near East cultures. Moreover, he elucidates how the Bible’s unique conception of ethical monotheism, innovative un- derstanding of covenantal law, and revolutionary messages from the prophets form the foundation of many Western civilization ideals. Justice for All connects these timeless biblical texts to the per- sistent themes of our times: immigration policy, forgiveness and reconciliation, care for the less “Take notice.
