In twenty three concise chapters, this book adds layer upon layer of meaning and interpretation, exploring the Sabbath through the basic sources of Jewish inspiration, and adding depth to our appreciation of this sacred space in time. It is a treasure chest of learning opportunities for adult studies, confirmation classes, and all who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of Judaisim.

Forty years ago, FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover recruited a band of professional killers for his private execution squad. 
He found them in organized crime families, the armed forces, and in other intelligence services. He called them the unknowns, and they did jobs so dirty even the CIA was afraid of them. 
Now, for the first time anywhere, Mike Milan, a member of the Squad, tells the true story of Hoover's private war. Milan, who "made his bones" for the Lucchese Family on New Yorks Lower East Side, served in the OSS during World War II, executed ex-Nazis and Soviet KGB agents after the war, and conducted Hoover's deep-cover counter-intelligence program inside the Ku Klux Klan. 
He wiped out a KGB spy ring in New Orleans, supplied gold for the US government's secret war in Southeast Asia, and was part of a hit team that mopped up "embarrassing" witnesses to the JFK assassination in Dallas. 
For over forty years Mike Milan led a double life, walking the tightrope between the Department of Justice and organized crime families. The Squad is his true story. 
Fascinating and frightening, The Squad reveals: 
 The masterminds behind the Kennedy Assassination coverup. 
 J. Edgar Hoover's friendship with Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello. 
 The desperate World War II collaboration between Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, General "Wild Bill Donovan" of the OSS, and the infamous Lucky Luciano. 
 Hoover's private war against the C.I.A. 
 Hoover's counter-intelligence program against Phillip and Daniel Berrigan. 
 The secret assassination plot against President Gerald Ford. 
The Squad is a must-read for fans of conspiracy thrillers and for people who want the truth about the US government's most secret intelligence operations.
