Rabbi Kerry M. Olitzky and Rabbi Avi S. Olitzky Foreword by Dr. Ron Wolfson Afterword by Rabbi Dan Judson

Transform your synagogue membership model and make it a financial and spiritual success. The concept of the “duesbased membership model” in synagogues was once an innovation.

Now that model is in decline and sweeping change is required in order to reverse the downward trend in synagogue participation.

This groundbreaking book provides synagogue and communal leaders with a useful process and the ingredients necessary to consider important changes in the synagogue, including thoughtful new models for membership and synagogue finance and examples from successful synagogues, bolstered by illustrations from the private sector.

“ Practical…. Synagogues are well advised to think through these issues with the Olitzkys as their guide.”

Science and religion embrace to inspire an open future that is creative, compassionate and honest.

This challenging integration of science and faith is aimed at those seeking to reconcile their religious beliefs and modern science, as well as readers who are seeking a deeper understanding of the intersection of Judaism and Process Thought. Theologian Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson explores our actions through Judaism and the sciences as dynamically interactive and mutually informative. He shows us how integrating human knowing with human living can help us arrive at a plausible and likely account of what we can know about the beginning and unfolding of our cosmos. He offers us new ways to find fresh insights in the cultural and spiritual resources of the Jewish tradition—Torah, midrash, philosophy—and new possibilities for human wholeness.

science & Religion

Process Theology is and what it can mean for your spiritual life. Rabbi Artson explains how Process Theology can break you free from the strictures of ancient Greek and medieval European philosophy, allowing you to see all creation not as this or that, us or them, but as related patterns of energy through which we connect to everything. Armed with Process insights and tools, you can break free from outdated religious dichotomies and affirm that your religiosity, your spirit, your mind and your ethics all strengthen and refine each other.

Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, DHL, an inspiring speaker and educator, holds the Abner and Roslyn Goldstine Dean’s Chair of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies and is vice president of American Jewish University in Los Angeles. He is a member of the philosophy department, supervises the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program and mentors Camp Ramah in California. He is also dean of Zacharias Frankel College in Potsdam, Germany, ordaining rabbis for the European Union. A regular columnist for the Huffington Post, he is author of many articles and books

Edited by Menachem Z. Rosensaft Prologue by Elie Wiesel

A powerful, life-affirming new perspective on the Holocaust.

“ Will make you sad, angry and revitalized.”

—Alan M. Dershowitz

“ A moving, unforgettable book.”

—Susan Eisenhower

“ Critically important and compelling ... must reading.”

—Wolf Blitzer “ A monumental achievement.”

—Ambassador Stuart E. Eizenstat

Jewish Identity

F e at u r ed i n:

Almost ninety children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors—spiritual leaders, theologians, scholars, authors, artists, political and community leaders and media personalities—from sixteen countries on six continents reflect on how the memories transmitted to them have affected their lives. Profoundly personal stories explore faith, identity and legacy in the aftermath of the Holocaust as well as our role in ensuring that future genocides and similar atrocities never happen again.

There have been many books and studies about children of Holocaust survivors—the so-called second and third generations—with a psycho-social focus. This book is different. It is intended to reflect what they believe, who they are and how that informs what they have done and are doing with their lives.

From major religious or intellectual explorations to shorter commentaries on experiences, quandaries and cultural, political and personal affirmations, contributors respond to this question: how have your parents’ and grandparents’ experiences and examples helped shape your identity and your attitudes toward God, faith, Judaism, the Jewish people and the world as a whole?

For people of all faiths and backgrounds, these powerful and deeply moving statements will have a profound effect on the way our and future generations understand and shape their understanding of the Holocaust.

Menachem Z. Rosensaft is general counsel of the World Jewish Congress. He teaches about the law of genocide and war crimes trials at the law schools of Columbia and Cornell Universities. He was appointed by Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to the US Holocaust Memorial Council.

Learn how to live life inspired by the timeless wisdom of Jewish ethical values.

A new edition of the Jewish Lights classic Creating an Ethical Jewish Life.

They give us clear explanations of the historical context of each writing and thoughtful applications of their wisdom on the problems we grapple with today.

Leave your loved ones a legacy of blessings, wisdom, gratitude and hope.

The emotional power of the nearly one hundred last letters collected here, written by both famous and ordinary Jewish people, will inspire you to live more fully now, and to record your own blessings for the generations to come.

“ This remarkable volume will enrich all those who will read it and meditate upon its infinite wisdom.”

Rabbi Michael Strassfeld

A book that charts a clear path to a more spiritually rich practice of Judaism. For all the cycles of life, best-

selling author Rabbi Michael Strassfeld presents traditional Jewish teachings as a guide to behavior and values. Where the tradition is replete with rituals (for example, the Sabbath), he describes them and shows how they can enrich spiritual living. Where rituals are sparse or nonexistent (for example, returning home at the end of the workday), he suggests new ones gleaned from his own study and experience.

This easy-to-use handbook explains the why, what and how of ten specific areas of Jewish ritual and practice. Each chapter provides you with guidance and background if you are just beginning to explore Jewish ritual and practice, and offers creative ways to deepen the meaning of Judaism in your daily life, even if you are experienced with ritual observance.
