Mordecai Joseph Leiner of Izbica was a unique thinker in the history of Hasidism with a highly personal vision of Judaism. His teachings, partially derived from the Przysucha-Kotsk school, adopted the concept of absolute divine providence as a cornerstone.

"During the long nights in the attic, Jan and I told each other about our lives, what we'd done and what we expected to do. We excluded present time, the war, its ferocity, its irrationality; the hours spent in the attic seemed borrowed, not real, because they were unbidden." "What an unlikely pair we made; a Ukranian shoemaker and a Jewish high school girl! We had begun to think of ourselves as a couple, each one finding in the other someone to confide in, a person with whom to share an impermissible yearning or a strange dream." "I told him uncensored stories in the belief that if I didn't offer them now, no one might ever hear them." Strange and Unexpected Love is a dramatic and intensely detailed account of one family's survival during the four-year Nazi occupation of the Ukraine. It is a moving and lyrical account of a young woman's emotional and physical awakening and her first experience with love. Fanya Heller was raised in a traditionally observant middle-class Jewish family in the town of Skala in Eastern Poland. Despite starvation, disease, restrictive and squalid hiding places, and constant danger of arrest by the Nazis, Fanya and her family lived through the war thanks to the courage of two Christian rescuers. One was Sidor, a Polish peasant who hid them on his farm. The other was Jan, a young, handsome Ukrainian shoemaker turned militiaman. Fanya had not known Jan before the war, but he had loved her from afar. When the Nazis occupied Skala, he came to the rescue, protecting her and her family by finding them secure hiding places and providing them with food and other supplies. In time, touched by his devotion and self-sacrifice, Fanya reciprocated Jan's love. With life totally dismantled, their love created an island of sanity and safety in an otherwise chaotic existence. Heller has an exceptional eye for detail and does a dextrous job of giving the reader an intimate sense of the day-to-day lives of her family under siege. As Rabbi Irving Greenberg describes in the Foreword, "Scene after scene lacerates our souls and hearts, Who can ever forget the description of the murderous aktsia, the frantic race to hide, fetid air, choking, being unable to breathe..., as the dogs came closer? Read this account and you will experience its integrity and truth and understated power."

Poetry. LGBT Studies. "A work of rich clear sensual language, of 'thermal tremble and juice,' these poems and photos pull the weaver's threads together, bring focus to 'wherein we can be a root to the sea.' Sinewy lines are constantly 'quoting my biology back to me as vow' and display a 'multi-creative musculature' we desperately need and desire. j/j is the real deal, reclaiming a space for engendered anarchy, opening Pandora's secret treasure trove, playing with fire, sound and love"&mdash;Anne Waldman.

The reality of sexual abuse in the Jewish community has necessitated a guide for parents, mental health professionals and community leaders outlining practical approaches to prevention and intervention. The focus of this book is on helping parents and professionals understand the distinctive ways that Orthodox Jewish culture, beliefs and practices can result in a unique presentation in child and adolescent sexual abuse victims. Practical approaches to prevention and protection that are culturally sensitive to the unique needs of the Orthodox community include chapters which will serve as a guide to parents, teachers, and community leaders on how to effectively implement prevention efforts in homes, schools and communities. The book also contains sections describing the impact of abuse in the voices of survivors, a summary of how traditional Jewish law views the responsibility of the community in dealing with sexual abuse, and a section for mental health professionals that details psychotherapeutic approaches in work with victims and perpetrators. This volume should serve as an essential resource for parents, educators, professionals and community leaders interested in learning how to better fulfill our responsibility to protect and nurture the next generation.
