American Priestess: The Extraordinary Story of Anna Spafford and the American Colony in Jerusalem ReviewFor anyone with mid-western ancestors, this phenomenal religious and protestant work ethic mentality makes me ever more curious about my great grandparents and their beliefs and life style. It's simply fascinating. From the Chicago fire, to the strong belief in retuning all Jews to Palestine and converting them to Christianity ---an incredible piece of our past. And so very exciting to discover.
For anyone who was taken by "the devil and the white city", this is a must read!American Priestess: The Extraordinary Story of Anna Spafford and the American Colony in Jerusalem Overview

Dreamland: Europeans and Jews in the Aftermath of the Great War ReviewThis tour de force covers the oft overlooked period of 1918-1939 when Europeans democracies oen by one disappeared, overun by communism and fascism. This is the story of the Jews, but more then that it is a story of Europe, the times, the culture, the politics, the arts, and of minority rights in a continent torn by ideas. This is the essential work for the period and covers such an array of personalities as to both suprise and stun. From Poland's Pisudski, to Kafka, Freud, and Bela Kun. All the major actors are here, painted in a wonderful matter and shown in the times and places that made them, the context of their relations within or with the Jewish community is the crowning acheivement in this excellent study.
This book takes us inside the worlds of Poland, where Jews amounted to 10 percent, inside the congresses in AMerica where concerned Jews lobbied on behalf of their ancestors in easter europe. Here we learn of forgotten genocides in Ukraine in the 1920s and of the situation of German Jews and also of the oft not studied Jews of Bulgaria and Hungary. THis book will be of interest to anyone, especially those looking to learn about the history of Europe between the wars and the situation of Jews, a situation which made Israel so neccesary.

Faith for Beginners: A Novel Reviewthis is actually a rather decent first novel for Aaron Hamburger. Although the figure of the ill father isn't developed as fully as I would have liked to see and there were some odd devices thrown in (such as the father/husband appearing as a ghost when he isn't dead, etc). This was a pretty clever book in that we get to look at several different people's search for meaning and transcendence from typically boring and superficial lives. Faith for Beginners isn't meant to be wholesome or completely satisfying, it's meant to highlight the bitter and confusing struggle of people finding their places (or inability to find a place) in the modern world. Oh, and the sex scenes that previous reviewers have complained about really aren't particularly graphic. However, I wouldn't recommend reading this for a church or otherwise religious discussion groupFaith for Beginners: A Novel Overview
