Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die (Bergson Group) 2011
Documentary film maker
Laurence Jarvik explores the actions and inactions of the U.S.
government as well as American Jewish leaders, exposing the political
trade offs that kept the doors closed to Jewish emigrants fleeing the
Nazi regime. Requests were made to bomb Auschwitz, set up a
Jewish army and construct rescue havens, yet no action was taken.
Containing previously classified interviews and rare newsreel
footage. A rare chronicle and much needed history lesson for
those who were too young to know or never told a reminder to those who
have forgotten. What this means in the very different but still
dangerous world we live in today.

"Listen to Her Voice: Women of Hebrew Bible" by Miki Raver
Eve, Sarah, Raqchel, Delilah,
and Ruth, their names live on, but their ancient stories have been
obscured. This newly issued paperback presents a sumptuously
illustrated retelling of the lives of 18 women in the Hebrew
Bible. Author Miki Raver pairs each vibrant and daring tale with
an eloquent meditation on their meaning for modern women.
Beautiful reproductions of classic Biblical art from such masters as
Rubens, Brueghel, Raphael, and Chagall illustrate these dramatic
stories. This rich marriage of art, literature, and spirituality
offers substantive and entertaining reading, as well as a fresh entry
into traditional faith.
