Baseball, Nazis & Nedick’s Hot Dogs: Growing up Jewish in the 1930s in Newark
Jerry Izenberg has been a sports reporter and a columnist at the New Jersey Star-Ledger for over seventy years.
One of only two daily newspaper columnists to have covered the first 53 Super Bowls, Izenberg also covered 54 consecutive Kentucky Derbies and the last five Triple Crown-winning horses. And no one has covered more of Muhammad Ali's fights than he, dating back to the 1960 Olympics. A recipient of the Red Smith Award for sportswriting, he has been named the New Jersey Sportswriter of the Year five times. He is an inductee in 17 Halls of Fame, including the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame, the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
In his memoir, Baseball, Nazis & Nedick's Hot Dogs: Growing up Jewish in the 1930s in Newark, the nonagenarian author looks back on his first two formative decades of life. Somehow, during a fraught period of antisemitism, Depression, and World War, Izenberg finds love, community, and purpose. Today, he lives Henderson, Nevada, with his wife Aileen. He continues to contribute columns to the Star Ledger and is working on several books.
One of the great Chassidic masters of the early nineteenth century, Rav Avraham Dov Ber Auerbach of Avritch, the Bat Ayin, was a disciple of some of the premier students of the Maggid of Mezritch, and served for many decades as a rabbinic authority and Chassidic leader in various Ukrainian towns and cities. Ultimately, he settled in Eretz Yisrael, where he became a heroic and legendary leader of the Jewish community of Tzefat.
With each passing year, an ever-growing number of people discover the teachings of the Bat Ayin and receive tremendous inspiration from his deeply thoughtful lessons. Now, for the first time, in clear and annotated English, readers can delve into the deep and moving teachings of the Bat Ayin on the parashiyot and holidays, encountering a veritable guide to avodat Hashem.
Bava Kamma - Schottenstein Daf Yomi (Midsize) Talmud Bavli
During the many years of publishing the Schottenstein Edition of the Talmud, students of Gemara asked for a smaller, lighter version of the full-size text. We listened and responded with the Daf Yomi edition. Every word, indeed every feature, of the full-size edition is here in a compact 7" x 10" size - and printed on lighter, thinner paper.
Like the full-size edition, the Daf Yomi edition of the Schottenstein Talmud Bavli is available in 73 volumes. The Daf Yomi edition is popular with travelers as well as with Torah students on a budget. Besides its appealing size, it's also a great value-priced at about 1/3 less than the full-size edition. In Talmud classes and congregations throughout the English speaking world, the Daf Yomi edition of the Talmud Bavli has become a very popular resource.
Torah learning is everywhere today - "when you are at home or on the road." So, in addition to your full-size Gemara at home, you can have a "travel Gemara" for times when you need something more portable.

“Be a blessing, my child, be a blessing.” They were words whispered from a father to his child as she confronted the horrors of the Holocaust. That child would grow up to be the world’s beloved Rebbetzin, Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis.
Be a Blessing shows us how she chose to “be a blessing” in the darkest of times and most horrific of places. In Bergen-Belsen. In a Swiss boarding school, as a penniless refugee, separated from her family. In a hospital bed in San Diego.
Written as she recovered from a difficult and painful accident, Be A Blessing sings out with faith, hope, even in times of despair.
In these pages we will hear Rebbetzin Jungreis speaking in Madison Square Garden, in a U.S. Airforce base, in a hospital room where she lies in terrible pain. We will hear her speaking to individuals looking for help or comfort. We will hear her speaking to herself, a young Holocaust survivor. And, most importantly, we will hear her speaking to each one of us, our concerns, our hopes and fears and questions.
From the Rebbetzin we will gain tips for a better marriage and for being better parents. We will learn how to find the mission our Creator has chosen for each individual, and how to make room for Hashem in our hearts. And we will discover how to take our personal mission, use it to “be a blessing” and convert darkness to rays of light.
In Jewish tradition, before parents journey to the next world, they bless their children. In this, the Rebbetzin’s final book before her passing, she has blessed all of us – because she felt all of G-d’s people were her children –with the greatest blessing of all: To be a blessing.
Be Fruitful! The Etrog in Jewish Art, Culture, and History
The etrog is a curious fruit. The Bible (Leviticus 23:30) commands its readers: “And you shall take for yourselves on the first day beautiful tree-fruit (peri etz hadar), palm fronds, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.” Native to the Far East and adapted to the culture of the eastern Mediterranean, the rituals of the etrog are among the very few that are dependent upon a particular environment for growth that Jews have maintained in their vast dispersal from the origins of their law, heritage, and collective existence in the Land of Israel. In their wanderings across the globe, the etrog has remained part of Jews’ practices, an indispensable part of the annual rhythms of the Jewish harvest festival, Sukkot, the Feast of Booths.
This collection of essays by leading scholars of Jewish studies explores the long and engaging story of the etrog from Biblical times to the present, with explorations from medieval and early modern Europe, the Ottoman lands, the United States, and Israel. Together they tell a tale of home-away-from-home, of wandering and belonging, of tradition and adaptation. The etrog’s story is one of environment, climate, and agriculture; of religious law and change; of commerce and cooperation; of borders and crossings; of fine art; of experimentation and innovation in Jewish art, culture, and history.
Be'er Yosef: Selected Writings Of Rav Yosef Tzvi Salant Adapted Into English
You hold in your hands a hidden gem ― a sefer whose insights a young Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbachwould eagerly hear directly from their author. He was so enthralled that he implored Rav Salant to put these powerful lessons into print.
Be’er Yosef is a treasure trove of unique insights on the parashah. The simplest questions, often left unaddressed by earlier authorities, are given the most profound yet intuitive answers. Rav Yosef Tzvi Salant provides a unique combination of his mastery of Midrash with his mesorah from the mussar giant Rav Yitzchak Blazer, the primary student of Rav Yisroel Salanter.
Now available in English for the first time, Rav Salant’s teachings can finally be enjoyed by a greater and varied audience.

Beis HaLevi on Ahavas Yisrael: The Classic Essay of HaGaon Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik of Brisk
Learn How to Really Love Your Fellow Jew!
In his brilliant essay on ahavas Yisrael, the Beis HaLevi, Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, beautifully explains the mitzvah of loving your fellow Jew. Who does the mitzvah apply to? When does it apply? What do I need to do to fulfill it properly? The Beis HaLevi also provides incentives to help us do the mitzvah in the best possible way.
Translated and elucidated by Rabbi David Sutton, author of ArtScroll’s bestselling Beis HaLevi on Bitachon, Beis Halevi on Ahavas Yisrael contains wonderful insights, uplifting stories, and in-depth appendices, as well as a special section of touching anecdotes about gedolim from a range of generations and communities.
When the new rav of Brisk, Rav Yosef Dov Ber Soloveichik, known as the Beis HaLevi after his renowned three-volume work of responsa, focused his matchless genius on derash and aggadah, the result was the classic sefer, Beis HaLevi, on Bereishis and part of Shemos. Combining his analytic eye and his awesome mastery of the entire spectrum of Torah sources, Rav Yosef Dov Ber created an essential text of Torah hashkafah. He applies his penetrating analysis to such major topics as the nature of exile and the Jewish people’s acceptance of the Torah.
Every woman dreams of a good life, a happy home, meaningful relationships, joyous celebrations ⦠but do we know the way to make those blessings materialize? How often do we feel our deepest desires bottled up in our hearts, hoping that God hears our silent yearning? There is a better way to draw down blessings for us and for all Israel. When you want something, pray for it! This precious volume of prayers, in English and Hebrew, drawn from the words of Rav Noson's Likutey Tefilot, gives expression to the hopes and dreams of each Jewish woman. Organized by topic, here are prayers to sing with, to cry over, to believe in and to soar with. Use them to discover parts of yourself you never knew existed, and to clarify the values you hold dear. Above all, let them open your heart to receive the greatest blessing: a new closeness to the Provider of all.
BETWEEN THE MOUNTAIN AND THE LAND LIES THE LESSON
In his latest book of poetic Midrash, Abe Mezrich breathes new life into the last third of the Torah. This third act, beginning with Moses sending spies into the Land, becomes the setting for poetry that fully engages the mind and the heart.
With clarity and beauty, Between the Mountain and the Land is the Lesson explores fundamental Jewish questions: What does it mean to be sacred? To be a community? And, especially, what does it mean to be a sacred community that both flees from and longs for Revelation?

BIRTH of the Spoken Word is a master class on the art of prayer and the prayerful relationship. Emotionally written, yet well-sourced, BOTSW presents a richly textured analysis of five key passages from the opening chapters of Sefer Bereishis (Genesis), placing tefillah (prayer) at the heart of the creation story. The book integrates a wide range of Jewish scholarship—from the Tanach to the Talmud, the early and later biblical commentaries, and the Masters of Chassidus and Jewish thought (the Maharal, the Ramchal, Rebbe Nachman, the Ba’al HaTanya, Rav Tzadok, Rav Kook, Rav Dessler and Rav Soloveitchik to name a few)—packing a spiritual punch and revitalizing our relationship with Hashem and with others from the inside out.
