WORLD OF OUR FATHERS
The Journey of the East European Jews to America and the Life They Found and Made IRVING HOWE Foreword by MORRIS DICKSTEIN
A classic exploration of the American Jewish experience by one of our greatest twentieth-century intellectuals
World of Our Fathers—Irving Howe’s seminal work of cultural history—traces the story of Eastern Europe's Jews to America over four decades. Beginning in the 1880s, it offers a rich portrayal of the East European Jewish experience in New York, and shows how the immigrant generation tried to maintain their Yiddish culture while becoming American. Howe sheds new light on why the forebears to many of today's American Jews decided to leave their homelands, the challenges these new Jewish Americans faced, and how they experienced every aspect of immigrant life in the early twentieth century. The resulting history is essential reading for those interested in understanding the American Jewish experience—in the past, and today.
Irving Howe played a pivotal role in American intellectual life for over five decades, from the 1940s to the 1990s. He was the founding editor of Dissent, the journal he edited for nearly forty years.

Sexuality and the Jewish Tradition DR. RUTH K. WESTHEIMER and JONATHAN MARK
Celebrated sex expert and bestselling author Dr. Ruth Westheimer bridges the gap between sex and religion in this provocative exploration of intimacy in the Jewish faith

How often should couples have sex? Can traditional Jewish notions of sex and sexuality be reconciled with contemporary beliefs? What roles can and do dreams and fantasy play?
