Soon, teenagers from all over Lodz join the group in the forest, and they name themselves the Lions of Lodz, derived from a battle in World War I between Germany and Russia where the combats were described as lions. The Lions of Lodz carry out two daring operations: a successful raid on a German village headquarters and the destruction of a German night train carrying supplies. Soon after, the Lions of Lodz join the underground Polish Home Army and become fully trained solders of the Intelligence Platoon. They continue aiding against the German army, including digging an underground tunnel into the ghetto to transport food, medical equipment, and clothing. Their strength, intelligence, and bravery persevere until the liberation of Poland, when they choose to bring their fighting spirit to Palestine. This historical novel brings to life the action and suspense of the post-Wolrd War I era as it follows Nathan and his daring cohorts.

The Nebbish Principle

In the Yiddish language, a nebbish is a person whose life is dictated by the simple proposition: "If it can go wrong it will go wrong, and it will happen to me." 
These clever, humorous illustrations perfectly describe those secret moments in all our lives when we wished that the earth would open up and swallow us, whole.

The Creation According to the Midrash Rabbah

Shuchat, Wilfred

Here, for the first time, are dozens of previously untold accounts gleaned from the records of thousands of Jewish families whose lives were destroyed when Tsar Nicholas of Russia conscripted Jewish children into his army -- for up to 25 years! The Tsar's declared goal was to convert these children to Christianity. This book also reveals the struggle of these youngsters -- ages 12 and above -- to maintain their Judaism against impossible odds.

In the Book of ESTHER, the Jews of the Persian Empire are threatened with death but given eleven months’ notice of their day of destruction, is that credible? On RUTH, the Midrash quotes Rabbi Ze’ira, of the Third Century CE, as saying, "this Scroll tells us nothing of ritual purity or impurity, of prohibition or permission…" but is that correct? And the wretched JONAH, tossed on the high seas, is swallowed by a great fish, spewed back onto dry land, and thus forced to go to Nineveh. Can this really be believed? Stephen Gabriel Rosenberg gives rational answers to these and other difficult questions and in doing so, forces the reader to re-think many of his pre-conceived notions about these books, no matter how many times he has read them or how well he thinks he understands their meaning.
