The Education of American Jewry; The Past is a Prologue (English)

Eduardo Rauch

$34.95

In The Education of American Jewry: The Past is a Prologue, Eduardo Rauch surveys the way that questions of education helped define American Jewish life in the first three decades of the 20th Century.

What are the limits of assimilation? What is the proper role for Jews of American institutions such as the public school? What institutions of the Jewish community could best help build a future in the American landscape?

These questions were at the center of Jewish communal life and helped define the future of the American Jewish community. Rauch explores many of the key crises of that period and examines the responses of major Jewish leaders such as Mordecai Kaplan, Horace Kallen, Samson Benderly and Judah Magnes.

In the final chapter Rauch takes the insights of history and applies them to his own vision of a Jewish future: How might what we learn from our past and develop new directions for Jewish life in America.

    Blood and Sweat

    Abdi-Jamil Nurpeisov

    We, the Kazakhs…

    So little is known about this people and their vast country, the world’s ninth largest, though the Kazakhs have seen much of man’s vast history. From their roots as traders and herdsmen during the Silk Route period to their modern experience with atomic bomb testing and space age triumph, the history of Kazakh culture remains relatively unexplored in the Western world.

    Even less known is author Abdi-Jamil Nurpeisov, venerated sage of Kazakh and Russian literature, though his books have been published in translation worldwide. Nurpeisov exposes Kazakh life to Western readers as Tolstoy did with Russians, and Marquez – Colombians. Nurpeisov’s eye-opening novel unveils the largely unknown history, life and customs of the Kazakhs.

  • Prison Diaries

    Эдуард Кузнецов

    In 1970 a small band of Soviet Jews, led by Eduard Kuznetsov and emboldened by the heroism of the Israelis in the Six-Day War, conceived a daring plan to escape the Soviet Union by commandeering a small civilian airplane. Beyond seeking their personal freedom, the group wanted their desperate act to ignite the world’s attention to the ongoing plight of Soviet Jews who were denied the right to emigrate.

    We, the Kazakhs…
    Western readers know little about this people or their vast country, the world’s ninth largest, although the Kazakhs have seen much of human history. From their roots as traders and nomadic herders during the Silk Road period, to their modern experience with atomic bomb testing and space-age triumph, the history of Kazakh culture remains relatively unexplored in the Western world.

    Even less known is author Abdi-Jamil Nurpeisov, venerated sage of Kazakh and Russian literature, though his books have been published in translation worldwide. Nurpeisov exposes Kazakh life to Western readers as Tolstoy did with Russians, and Marquez, Colombians.
