Elie Wiesel

History & Biography

“This book reminds us that a great teacher can open minds, ennoble spirits, and—most miraculously—break hearts while filling them with joy and hope. In these pages we hear the gracious, kind, caring, wise voice of Elie Wiesel—teaching, mentoring, uplifting . . . Never has a book been so utterly necessary: at a time of shrill crassness and ethical void, we are reminded of the power of grace, of speaking softly and listening to all—especially to one’s students. We are deeply grateful to the editor and contributors for this compelling, extraordinary gift.”

Leviticus as Discourse

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Distilling the insights of earlier writers such as Mary Douglas and Jacob Milgrom, Allison Hamm offers an entry into Leviticus that is deeply learned and vitally alert to contemporary significance. With discernment and clarity, Hamm guides the reader to engage Leviticus anew, opening a world at once strange, delightful, and transformative. Her finely-honed scholarly judgment leads us through difficult concepts and dense passages with suppleness and grace. Hamm’s offering shows how painstaking scholarship, pedagogic generosity, and spiritual sensitivity can yield a sparkling work that addresses readers on every level. She convincingly demonstrates that Leviticus is a worthy and enriching conversation partner and invites us to partake of its wisdom for our day.”

The Hasidic Moses

World Religions

“Aryeh Wineman’s The Hasidic Moses is a triumph on every level . . . The figure of Moses is brought alive in the words of the classic Hasidic masters and is made available for a new generation of spiritual seekers hungry to find meaning in biblical models and mystical texts. The Bible tells us that no one knows where Moses is buried—but we can say that he lives robustly in Aryeh Wineman’s sparking new book!”
