Products:
* Siddur Mesorath Moshe*
A Hebrew prayerbook based on the liturgy recorded by the famed halakhist and rabbinic scholar, Maimonides, in his magnum opus, the Mishne Tora. Contains prayers for the entire year, including weekdays, Sabbaths, and holidays. An ideal book for those interested in gaining a comfortable familiarity with the most basic and acceptable halakhic liturgy, unencumbered by the oft-perplexing additions of later pietists.

* Goy*
by Ranjit Chatterjee.
This captivating autobiography explores one man's international search for a religious identity. Every step along this spiritual-cultural journey is redolent with existential metaphor and meaning; as the author is slowly drawn to the hidden Judaism of the post-modern philosophers and linguists, his relationship with God unfolds in an unexpected pattern.

* We are All God's Children*
by Joseph Haddad.
In a world riddled with xenophobia, materialism, and cynicism, many people are searching for the solution to the ills of modernity. This book proposes an "unorthodox" answer - a return to the ancient narratives and core values of the Hebrew Bible may be the key to restoring harmony and fellowship to the human race. In this open and insightful exploration of the Hebrew Bible in its most universal aspects, the author uncovers the basic messages and themes that are truly relevant to all of humanity.

* What is the Meaning of Life*
by Just Marino.
Evocative of the Beat generation's cry for the victims of an empty and self-destructive culture, the pages of this book deliver the next generation's answer to that piercing howl. Combining breathtaking poetry with social commentary penned by a prodigal teenage revolutionary, this book is a must-read for all who are troubled by the slow decay of the American spirit. Features the acclaimed "Allen Ginsberg, Are You Lonely? / Where Have You Gone, Friedrich Nietzsche?"

* From Ibri to Igbo: The 40 Million Jews of West Africa*
by Remy Ilona.
A groundbreaking, comprehensive study of the history and culture of the Igbo Jews of Nigeria, a remarkable Jewish community which has tirelessly kept the traditions and beliefs that were passed on to them by their ancestors - members of the "lost" tribes of Israel.

* The Naked Crowd: The Jewish Alternative to Cunning Humanity*
by José Faur.
Few scholars and rabbinic writers have addressed as many contemporary issues and thinkers in their work as the hakham, Professor José Faur. In this latest volume, he identifies the role rhetoric and philosophy play in manipulating truth in Western and pagan societies and the sociological alternative offered by Judaism. The last section address Pauline Christianity as a pagan distortion of Jewish (and Jesus') teachings born of the Oedipal tension common in Greek society.
