Most Jewish communities continue to cite intermarriage as the most serious threat to Jewish continuity. Contrary to this view, The A–Z of Intermarriage reveals that intermarriage is a force for good in the lives of Jewish families and communities. 
Written by Rabbi Denise Handlarski, an intermarried rabbi, The A–Z of Intermarriage is part story, part strategy, and all heart. Fun to read and full of helpful and practical tips and tools for couples and families, this book is the perfect “how-to” manual for living a happy and balanced intermarried life.

The Conflict over the Conflict chronicles one of the most divisive and toxic issues on today’s college and university campuses: Israel/Palestine.
 Some pro-Palestinian students call supporters of Israel's right to exist racist, and disrupt their events. Some pro-Israel students label pro-Palestinian students terrorists, and the Jews among them traitors. Lawsuits are filed. Legislation is proposed. Faculty members are blacklisted and receive death threats. Academic freedom is compromised and the entire academic enterprise is threatened. How did we get here and what can be done?
 In this passionate book, Kenneth S. Stern examines attempts from each side to censor the other at a time when some say students, rather than being challenged to wrestle with difficult issues and ideas, are being quarantined from them. He uniquely frames the examination: our ability to think rationally is inhibited when our identity is fiercely connected to an issue of perceived social justice or injustice, and our proclivity to see in-groups and out-groups – us versus them – is obvious. According to Stern, the campus is the best place to mine this conflict and our intense views about it to help future generations do what they are supposed to do: think. The Conflict over the Conflict shows how this is possible.

Review\n"For business leaders whose education and experience have focused only on profit and end results, Weitzner’s book, as well as other works that he mentions, can provide some guidance in how to change the office dynamic." -- Sheryl Pockrose ― The American Israelite\n“Mamesh, there’s some good stuff in here!” -- Rabbi Tzvi Freeman, senior editor at Chabad.org and author of Wisdom to Heal the Earth\n“At first glance, one might worry about what David Weitzner’s integration of business with spirituality might mean for religion. But what they should really be wondering about is how this truly spiritual approach to commerce will make ‘business as usual’ utterly impossible.” -- Douglas Rushkoff, Professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics, Queen's College, City University of New York, and author of Team Human, Present Shock, and Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus\n“David Weitzner does an impeccable job of connecting the spiritual with the corporate, explaining how the new workplace is better served by the bridging of these two seemingly disparate disciplines. The result is a roadmap for improvement that leaders need to understand.” -- Michael Solomon, co-founder of 10x Management and 10x Ascend, and co-author of Game Changer: How to Be 10x in the Talent Economy\n"A timely and enlightening book on how to bring our whole selves to work. Written from a Jewish perspective, this book will be of interest to anyone searching for meaning in business. David Weitzner’s focus on connection and wonder will resonate with all spiritual seekers. The book is both inspiring and practical. It brings the ancient Jewish tradition into conversation with some of today’s most pressing and important issues and does so in a readable, lively, and compelling way.” -- Moses L. Pava, Alvin H. Einbender University Professor in Business Ethics, Yeshiva University\n"I enjoyed reading David Weitzner's provocative book. Even though I strongly believe that capitalism and competition has provided significant benefits to society, I agree that a successful business also relies on trust and cooperation in its relations with its customers, workers, and suppliers. Weitzner argues that we should think of work within a concept of ‘"connected capitalism.’". The best part of this argument is related to spiritualism – we should not be spiritual but do spiritualism. He ties this in with the Jewish concept of chavrusa – taking personal responsibility to fix things in our daily lives." -- Jack M. Mintz, President’s Fellow of the School of Public Policy, University of Calgary\n"David Weitzner’s voice is a measured, compassionate one as it rises above the din of knee-jerk opinion and judgement. Listen: the man has ideas and he knows how to communicate them." -- Nels Cline, Wilco guitarist, composer\n"What a book! I find myself nodding and smiling, clenching my fists, gnashing my teeth, and laughing while I read. A vital, significant, and deeply personal book, Connected Capitalism looks at how we can redeem ourselves as a species, a culture, and a society." -- Sunshine Jones, electronic musician\n"David Weitzner brilliantly draws from Jewish wisdom in Connected Capitalism to align our workplaces with our values." -- Tiffany Shlain, author of 24/6: Giving up Screens One Day a Week to Get More Time, Creativity, and Connection and founder of The Webby Awards\nIn our present state of disconnect and loss, Connected Capitalism offers us a deeper and more satisfying approach to both work and life. 
What should our post-COVID work world look like? 
In Connected Capitalism, David Weitzner shows us how to draw from the classic teachings of Judaism in order to positively transform our workplaces and our working lives. He outlines a philosophy that will empower the disenchanted to build a stable future in a world of crony capitalism, global pandemics, racial injustice, and social disconnect.

Review\n"The superb, heart-rending book But I Live: Three Stories of Child Survivors of the Holocaust collects the testimonies of four survivors in a graphic narrative format for new generations. It is a powerful and indispensable educational tool not just for high school students, for whom it was designed, but for anyone. Readers can now carry these indelible stories forward." -- Quill & Quire\n"I'm convinced that we need more books like this, so that we can preserve a terrible history in a way that makes it easily accessible on the one hand, but also allows a different, very personal access to the stories on the other. I think that this book belongs with Maus in every bookcase." -- Tobi Dahmen, comic artist and illustrator ― www.tobidahmen.de\n"The graphic narratives in But I Live are powerful and relate the Holocaust stories in profound and intense ways that words alone cannot. Created for middle readers, this book is suitable for adults too." -- Beverly Cramp ― BC BookWorld\n"In this beautiful, one-of-a-kind volume, Charlotte Schallié brings together three exquisitely illustrated and narrated testimonies by four child survivors of the Holocaust. Each of these graphic novellas captures the distinct memories and experiences of its child-witnesses in a different style and register, all expertly hand-rendered by different teams of graphic artists. Together with deeply insightful reflections by the artists on their process, by the child survivors as adults, and by historians of each region, But I Live is the most powerful collection of non-fiction graphic novellas of the Holocaust since Art Spiegelman’s Maus." -- James E. Young, author of The Stages of Memory and At Memory’s Edge\n"But I Live is a path-breaking book that elucidates the complex relationships between story and image in Holocaust recounting. It is equally a book about relationships themselves: between the artists and the survivors and then all of us who are – literally – drawn into their vital conversations." -- Henry Greenspan, author of On Listening to Holocaust Survivors\n"In 'A Kind of Resistance,' Libicki’s use of wide round eyes express the innocence and terror of a small child. 'Thirteen Secrets' immediately grabbed me with Gilad Seliktar's beautiful style of artwork. There is a particular haze, the fog of memories of childhood long ago. 'But I Live' welcomed me into the story with a warm familiarity. That I know these people. That I know their stories. I know the one spoon left from everything after the war. The lighting of innumerable cigarettes. The bit of ‘taking’ that is stealing without bad conscience. The not wanting to remember but unable to forget. The fear that left behind showing up in their walks of life, however rich and safe." -- Miriam Katin, graphic novelist and author of We Are on Our Own and Letting It Go\n"But I Live – a beautiful title – offers the stories of four survivors who shared their traumatic memories with three talented artists who have created three outstanding visual journeys. Readers discover not only the survivors personal experience but also the emotion of creation. Libicki, Seliktar, and Yelin take on the responsibility to continue the chain of transmission. Their graphic novels are an act of resistance against forgetting, denying, or not willing to face the truth. Too many survivors left us taking their untold testimony to eternity. But I Live transforms memory into accessible beautiful images in one of the most popular art forms." -- Michel Kichka, author and illustrator of Second Generation\n"A unique and compelling experience. These unimaginable tales of survival and loss, told through testimony, the combined narrative power of words and pictures, and historical facts, gave me an immensity of feeling – quiet, loud, raging, pensive, but most of all, true. The art is captivating, from the bright, saturated inks of 'A Kind of Resistance' to the subdued, almost mid-century modern graphics of 'Thirteen Secrets' to the rich,

Graphic Novels

Shortlisted - 2023 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards for Best Reality-Based Work An intimate co-creation of three graphic novelists and four Holocaust survivors, But I Live consists of three illustrated stories based on the experiences of each survivor during and after the Holocaust. David Schaffer and his family survived in Romania due to their refusal to obey Nazi collaborators. In the Netherlands, brothers Nico and Rolf Kamp were separated from their parents and hidden by the Dutch resistance in thirteen different places. Through the story of Emmie Arbel, a child survivor of the Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps, we see the lifelong trauma inflicted by the Holocaust. To complement these hauntingly beautiful and unforgettable visual stories, But I Live includes historical essays, an illustrated postscript from the artists, and personal words from each of the survivors. As we urgently approach the post-witness era without living survivors of the Holocaust, these illustrated stories act as a physical embodiment of memory and help to create a new archive for future readers. By turning these testimonies into graphic novels, But I Live aims to teach new generations about racism, antisemitism, human rights, and social justice.

Internationally renowned and award-winning historian Dr. Robert Jan van Pelt's The Evidence Room is a chilling exploration of the role architecture played in constructing Auschwitz - arguably the Nazis' most horrifying facility. The Evidence Room is both a companion piece to, and an elaboration of, an exhibit at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, based on van Pelt's authoritative testimony against Holocaust denial in a 2000 libel suit argued before the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
