Beyond the Golden Rule

 

A Jewish Perspective on Dialogue & Diversity
Rabbi David A. Kunin

“Erudite, subtle, careful, but also courageous, intimate and honest, David Kunin’s Beyond the Golden Rule points the way beyond ‘kumbaya’ celebrations of religious similarities toward more authentic, more complex and more respectful engagement with religious traditions other than our own. He also calls on Jews to re-examine and emend parts of our own liturgy and our own thinking about non-Jews. If not now, when?”—Andrew Gow, Professor of History and Director of the Program in Religious Studies, University of Alberta.

Defying Odds

Theodore H. Lehman

This is a compelling historical novel about the experience of a teen-age Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz who was sent into the SS slave labor system. It is written for adult and young adult readers and tells the dramatic story of how this young man was not allowed to complete elementary school, have a Bar Mitzvah, nor attend high school. This is a story of hope by a teen-ager who defied the odds and lived even though he was a prisoner in the political whirlwind of one of Europe’s most powerful and sophisticated countries turning into an evil empire. This moving story narrates his life as a laborer in a Krupp Industries’ artillery factory, as he learned to survive constant SS brutality and death threats.
