Paperback. Condition: Very Good. We are taught to study, to learn, and to let ourselves grow Jewishly. But where does being the "people of the book" get us in the real world? David Wolpe's collection of essays responds to this question by exploring how Jewish values, such as scholarship and compassion, together with Jewish practice, enhance an individual's private and public life. How does Shabbat help deflect us from the pressures of the societal rat-race? How can Jewish learning subdue political unrest? Rabbi Wolpe draws the lessons of this collection from a variety of religious and historical sources, finding the importance of Israel in a Robert Frost poem, the nature of God in the words of Beowulf, and parenting lessons in the fatherly techniques of King David. The essays address diverse topics ranging from assimilation to Zionism to Jewish concepts of life and death. Rabbi Wolpe asks the questions, sometimes profound, sometimes light-hearted, that challenge us to consider how we live as Jews, how our Jewish lives are influenced by our secular surroundings, and how we can develop our Jewish souls by continuing to learn from new sources while remaining open to spiritual growth. Some of these questions include: Is it wrong to admire Kant, Voltaire, and Roald Dahl if they were anti-Semitic? How can we reconcile our American family traditions with our Jewish family traditions? In an evolutionary debate, do God and Steven Pinker stand behind opposite podiums? Do we need such a thing as a Jewish home? A Jewish homeland? Why does Walt Whitman think we should stay awake during the rabbi's sermon? What lessons of aging gracefully can we learn from Rabbi Akiba and Grandma Moses? An ideal gift for teachers, Confirmation students, grads, and new families that join the congregation. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Straathof, Alette (illustrator). Hardcover. "A compelling introduction to Hank Greenberg for a new generation of baseball fans." --Kirkus ReviewsStory of MVP and Hall-of-Famer "Hammerin" Hank Greenberg, one of the greatest hitters of all time, and the first openly Jewish sports star."Greenberg's example stood, and still stands, as inspirational for all players experiencing racial or religious prejudice." --BooklistIndiana Library Federation "2024 Ageless Read Aloud List"A Junior Library Guild SelectionIn 1934 young Hank Greenberg had his dream job--playing first base for the Detroit Tigers. Unlike some other Jewish baseball players of that time, Hank had not changed his name to disguise his Jewishness--he was not going to pretend he was something he wasn't. But there were many people who did not want to see a Jewish baseball player on the field. They booed and jeered and called him names, and most of his teammates were just standing by and letting it happen.But Hank knew what he liked--baseball. So he played his best, kept quiet, and let his batting average speak for him instead.In 1934, however, when the Tigers were leading the league, both Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur fell on game days. Hank consulted a local rabbi, and decided he could play on Rosh Hashanah, a day of celebration, but refused to play on Yom Kippur. He went to synagogue services instead.The Tigers lost that game, and Hank was blamed by many fans. A poem in the newspaper, however, recognized Hank's achievements and that, despite everything, more people were coming to accept him as a Jewish baseball player. "We shall miss him on the field and shall miss him at the bat. But he's true to his religion, and I honor him for that!"An end note with historical photo explains more about Hank's baseball career as the first Jewish superstar in American team sports.In the face of prejudice, "let it spur you on to greater achievement, rather than accept and be licked by it." --Hank Greenberg "A story about the baseball player Hank Greenberg: how he balanced his love of baseball with his Jewish heritage, and how he stood up for his beliefs"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
