Ha-Meir La-Aretz Ve-la-Darim is a two sided book with an anthology of High Holy Day sermons written and delivered by Max "Meir ben Isak" Frankel on one side and and a mouth-watering collection of "Torat Imekha," Purim recipes from the kitchen of Gloria "Golda bas Shmuel Hayim HaLevi" Frankel on the other. Max Frankel Born in 1928 as the youngest of Isak and Breintze Golde Frankel's five children, Max was an exclusively Yiddish speaking twelve-year-old who immigrated to the United States after escaping Nazi occupied Austria with his parents in 1940. A graduate of Yeshiva Israel Salanter (now SAR Academy in Riverdale, New York), Max went on to attend Yeshiva University's high school and college. A cum laude graduate of the Teachers Institute of Yeshiva University and the Yeshiva College of Liberal Arts, Max served form 48 years as a master educator and educational administrator in Rochester, Erie, Boston, Philadelphia, and finally, Cincinnati. When Max retired after 25 years as the Executive Director of Cincinnati's Bureau of Jewish Education, he was the most senior in length of service of all directors of Bureaus and Central Agencies for Jewish Education in the United States. Gloria Frankel Born in 1933 and the oldest of Hyman and Jennie Hurwitz's two children, Gloria's family lived in LeRoy, New York when she was a little girl until her parents moved the family to Rochester to provide a more suitable Jewish environment. Raised in the aftermath of the Great Depression in a typically blue collar family, Gloria's Jewish education tended to reflect the norms of her generation. With little more than a melamed to teach her the fundamentals, most of Gloria's Jewish education is credited to the example of her parents and the value they placed on the other essentials of Jewish life. Married at age nineteen, Gloria proudly asserts that the entirety of her life has been dedicated to raising her family and building a true and faithful Jewish home. Living in Cincinnati since 1971, Gloria is the proud mother of four, and the even prouder grandmother of ten grandchildren.

This book features When This You See..., a 1996-99 series of thirty-one embroidered samplers by contemporary American artist Elaine Reichek. Traditionally, samplers framed truisms, homilies, and lessons within decorative patterns and motifs. Reichek replaces these familiar sayings with witty combinations of quotations from mythology, literature, science, art history, and popular culture. Most of the quotations relate to the arts of weaving, knitting, or embroidery. The astonishing results operate on myriad levels: as social critique, as commentary on the relations between the sexes, as a challenge to the traditional definitions of art itself. Punctuating the sequence of samplers are embroideries inspired by works of modernism or contemporary art that resonate with Reichek's themes; with her renditions of these works, Reichek challenges the austerity of "high" art with humor and sophistication.

What part does the land of Canaan play in the biblical conception of “Israel”? To what extent does the religion promoted by the Hebrew Bible require that Israel live its communal life in the national homeland? And how does life in the land compare in importance with other elements presented as belonging to Israel’s ultimate destiny, such as, for example, adherence to the law? To what extent must the people of Israel take hold of and settle in the “entire land of Canaan” for them to fulfill their destiny? Might the land be shared with other peoples, or must non-Israelites be expelled and subjugated, or at least kept at a safe and isolated distance?
Frankel asks these questions and others of the Hebrew Bible as a whole and of the biblical texts individually. He shows that all of these questions were addressed by various biblical authors and that diverse and even opposing answers were given to them. These issues are not completely new. Many of them have been addressed in recent times by various scholars and theologians who have taken a renewed interest in the “territorial dimension” of the Hebrew Bible. However, works of a predominantly theological or sociological orientation often suffer from a tendency to read the biblical texts holistically and to gloss over textual snags and inconsistencies. For Frankel, the snags and inconsistencies in the texts are of central importance. They allow him carefully to reconstruct the process of the growth of the texts in question and to reveal both their original forms and their final transformations at the hands of the editors. Frankel’s analysis shows that behind the present form of several biblical texts lie earlier versions that often displayed remarkably open and inclusive conceptions of the relationship between the people of Israel and the land of Canaan. Diachronic analysis of the biblical text is thus an essential component in this book’s attempt to retrieve something of the heated theological dynamic that animated the work of the authors and editors whose efforts were consummated in the formation of the Hebrew Bible.
Frankel presents here many new and previously unrecognized biblical conceptions and traditions that have significant theological implications for the contemporary religious and political situation in the State of Israel. Once the biblical conceptions have been accurately identified, analyzed, and categorized, he opens a discussion of the possible relevance of these conceptions to the contemporary situation in which he lives.
