Knowing he must avoid being assigned to Auschwitz’s manual labor detail if he wants to survive, Moshe gives away the very last of his possessions in return for a job as an electrician in one of Auschwitz’s factories.

When Abigail is taken from her family in Judea to be sold as a slave to Janus, a wealthy Greek philosopher, she vows not to be the submissive servant he expects.

Sure enough, her sharp mind and even sharper tongue soon catch Janus’ eye, and he quickly discovers that she is far more suited to challenging his wit in heated philosophical debates than carrying out any mundane household chores. And the more passionate their arguments become, the more he begins to fall for the fiery, intelligent woman who stormed unexpectedly into his life.

But Abigail is torn between two worlds. In one, she is Janus’ equal, his partner and friend. In the other, she is no more than a slave, kept from her home and family against her will. And when word comes of the bloody rebellion unfolding in her motherland, she pleads with Janus to set her free.

Desperate not to lose her, he makes her a deal. If, after one year, he has not convinced her that she should stay – she will be free to go. Abigail accepts, determined not to be swayed.

1960s, Lárida. In the tight-knit Jewish Latin American community of Lárida, everyone knows everyone and nobody’s business is their own. León Edri’s own history as an immigrant has taught him the importance of belonging to a community, and in his well-respected family, their Jewish heritage is above all else.

But among the younger generation of the little colony, heritage and history make way for other more important concerns, like independence. And love.

The colony is very important to León – but how much of what happens in it is he privy to? Even between his very own walls?

When forbidden love affairs and criminal pasts come to the surface, and the fractures in the façade begin to grow, Leon and the leaders of the community will have to face reality and accept, once and for all, the ultimate fate of their colony.

A comprehensive exploration of our search for life in the cosmos and its implications on understanding where we came from — and where we are headed.

Are we alone in the universe?

In mid-2021, the US Congress was presented with an unprecedented report on possible encounters with objects of unexplained origin, officially dubbed “Unidentified Arial Phenomena.”

With the official backing of scientific and defense communities, the possibility of a cosmos crowded with intelligent life grows ever more likely. But what would intelligent life beyond Earth look like? Could we even begin to comprehend it? How far are we from the definitive answer we’re looking for?

By examining the latest in cutting-edge astrophysical research, renowned astrophysicist Hagai Netzer and science author Ami Ben Bassat paint a uniquely comprehensive picture of the scientific revolution regarding the search for life on distant exoplanets: from the origin of biological life in our galaxy to the expanding search for extraterrestrial life, the far-reaching repercussions of space travel, and possible encounters with alien civilizations.

To save the Earth, they must first land on the Red Planet.

Mars. The next frontier. When people talk about the Red Planet and human salvation, they talk about colonization [transference] – as if that is mankind’s only hope of surviving the ecological threats facing Earth.

Rather, it is the Red Planet’s gold.

An astronomical discovery on the precipice of global calamity has set two scientists on the path to human salvation. Using their newfound knowledge, they are certain they can utilize Martian resources to solve Earth’s greenhouse crisis and spare the planet – and humankind along with it. But reaching Mars proves to be just one obstacle out of many, and their time is running out.

Poland, 1948. It’s been years since the Second World War ended, but life in Poland hasn’t quite settled for Maria Zaneski.

He takes up residence in Maria’s rental apartment, where he and Anna quickly develop a unique partnership – further tightening the secret history that binds them.

Because aside from looking into his family’s fate, Olek’s homecoming has a darker, secret reason. One he cannot risk sharing with anyone—not even with Anna.

Most couples know what they want. But they don’t know how to want it.

“Monogamy is the end of great sex.” Pop culture is always telling us about dreary monogamous partnerships – cheating husbands, reluctant wives, and zero passion. We’re inundated with clichés about long-term relationships and communication. Experts focus on what couples should want, but not on how they should get there.

For David, it was supposed to be just another commercial gig: pick up the talent, film the commercial, and get paid.

Or he can be recruited.

Learn how to negate resistance, circumvent defenses, and disarm excuses by harnessing the most influential power in sales – the subconscious mind.

Experience teaches us that the only notable difference between a successful and unsuccessful sale has nothing to do with the product – but with communication.

He needs to convince their subconscious.

By understanding how the subconscious mind works and learning to tap into its power, salespeople can more effectively persuade potential customers and close deals.

Global humor expert Shai Gelber reveals the #1 tool to dealing with all the things you should – and shouldn’t laugh about.

No one denies the incredible power of laughter and humor, with extensive research showing its beneficial properties to our well-being. It boosts confidence, diffuses stress, and is a massive part of our social structure.

So why aren’t we using it where it counts?

In Laugh it Up, professional humor expert Shai Gelber draws on years of research, practical experience, and inspiring accounts of success from across the globe to demonstrate just how crucial humor is to our general well-being and, more importantly, how we can apply it to promote our health, wealth, and our happiness and satisfaction.

Far more than a simple coping mechanism, humor can be the greatest tool in your arsenal for almost any situation in life. With (most) jokes aside, Gelber takes a serious approach to the subject and unpacks several underlying theories: Why we laugh at some things but not others; how humor moves and connects people; what mechanisms comedians use that we can apply; and how to develop your own “humoristic” philosophy.

We all strive to move up in the world. We want to be happier, richer, healthier – but worrying is not what will help get us there. Whether you’re looking to improve your communication skills, boost your creativity, or simply have more fun – laughter is the best way up.

A revolutionary approach to free will and the human consciousness.

For centuries, the question of free will has been at the forefront of philosophical thought, tackled and questioned endlessly by humanity’s greatest thinkers. Science claims that information isn’t lost in the universe. On the other hand, it doesn’t accept the assumption that there is life after death. So, where does all the information man accumulate during his life, go?

We all want to believe that we are responsible for our own actions and have a measure of control over our lives. And yet, science, philosophy, and even religion thus far have not offered a satisfying explanation. It might be surprisingly simpler than we think.

In a refreshing and illuminating new take on a subject so central to human life, The Question of Choice delicately examines free will through a broad spectrum of disciplines – integrating history, philosophy, science, and metaphysics to provide a groundbreaking explanation that will challenge everything we’ve thought to this day.

A thousand years ago, a savior was born to unite a broken realm. She failed.

Five elements, five kingdoms. The delicate balance governing the magical land of Terah was hard-won by the blood of its people. But greed can be a dangerous ally, and when peace was finally within their reach, the cold-hearted king of Navara betrayed the rest – usurping the magical powers of all other kingdoms for himself. His tyrannical rule lasted a millennium.

Lexi and Jimmy live in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, completely unaware of Terah’s woes and its people’s plight. When a mysterious artifact finds its way to them, the two childhood friends discover the important role they must play in the liberation of Terah’s kingdoms. Guided by the fabled Eye of Truth, and surrounded by surprising allies and fearsome foes alike, Lexi and Jimmy’s choices tie their fates with that of Terah and its magical inhabitants.

But a secret kept deep within the icy peaks of Navara threatens to extinguish Lexi’s resolve. A secret of a prophecy, a thousand years in the making. Because much like Terah, Lexi too is much more than meets the Eye.

One of Debbie Matzkin’s earliest memories is her mother’s attempt to murder her while she slept.

Ever since she was a little girl, Debbie Matzkin lived a double life. In one, she lived the perfect life as the pampered only child of a European-born aristocratic family, never wanting for anything. But in the other, she was living in the deep, dark shadow of her mother. Her violent, abusive, torturing mother.

Only the years and her mother’s passing helped her put things in perspective, opening up a unique path of healing.

How the looming war between Beijing and the White House threatens every citizen of the world – and what they can do about it.

The power struggle between the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China is decades-old but more relevant than ever. The battleground between the red giant to the east and the blue giant to the west has grown to encapsulate all manner of political agendas – from the Chinese manufacturing revolution to climate policies, global military and defense strategies, and nuclear and economic development. In the next hundred years, it will slowly but surely devolve into a full-fledged war.

Global economic expert Eran Nitzan has worked with both Chinese and American authorities during his decades-long career as an Israeli diplomat and economic attaché to the US. Having a unique vantage point on both parties’ mindsets and incentives, The Next Hundred Years’ War offers an unbiased, in-depth look into the many direct and indirect influences of the conflict of the 21st century. Nitzan sheds light on these critical issues and demonstrates how both countries challenge and transform each other; what truly lies at the base of their enmity; and exactly how and why even countries that don’t actively take part in their struggle are not exempt from its consequences.

In 25 inspiring and heartwarming stories, the incredible and almost forgotten life and educational work of Janusz Korczak, the father of orphans, come to light. With little to no resources in one of the darkest of times, Korczak built an educational system based on respect, trust, and cooperation, which we have much to learn from, even today.

If you wish for peace… Be ready for vengeance.

Gideon Ben-Ari is officially retired, trading the exciting life of global counterterrorism for a career as an international security expert. He is confident that the fate of Israel and the free world is safe in the hands of his successors – his innovative daughter Noam, her genius husband Dan, and their common friend “Erik” – son of Iranian doctor Nimer al-Khaldi, Gideon’s nemesis-turned-collaborator.

But in a world like Gideon’s, nothing lasts forever – especially peace.

Still recuperating from its failure in the Vatican, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps decides to enlist a new deadly ally in its quest for revenge against the Mossad – and against Gideon himself. Led by Dr. Madani, who heads a secret missile program, they turn to one superpower with enough military strength to help challenge the West – Russia.

Upon learning of the new axis surrounding the Middle East, the CIA and Mossad enlist Gideon and his company to foil a dangerous plot that might cost millions of lives. Combining new technological advancements and page-turning political drama, Gideon Ben-Ari’s new adventure puts him dead in the center of his most perilous mission yet – stopping an unstoppable force from assassinating both agencies’ top brass.

She fought for freedom. She fought to survive. But she also fought for love.

1939. As tensions in Europe rise, young and outspoken Eva prepares for her second year at the Institute of Jewish Studies in Warsaw. Witnessing the rising danger for Jews everywhere, her only hope was that war would not come to her small community in western Poland, right by the German border. But when the war ultimately breaks out, it’s Eva’s courage and resourcefulness that pave her way to freedom.

At a time when most are expected to give into their fates, Eva decides to take the reins into her own hands.

But war is not the only challenge they need to overcome, and as Eva’s reputation as a partisan grows, so does the relationship between Mirka and David.

That tore the world apart

A mother wants a son

A daughter needs a mother

Her secret is their salvation, but what Danusha remembers most is the solitude, with only her baby brother and the girl in the mirror for company.

Turn struggles into success with a revolutionary new approach to raising children with ADHD.

Children with ADHD are no strangers to frustration – and neither are their parents. Raising kids with ADHD is a true struggle, especially when we can’t seem to “fix” the traits that we sometimes see as “broken.”

However, when we praise focus, organization, and academic abilities as the most important skills, we lose sight of equally important things like intelligence, curiosity, and creativity. Our children need to focus on success, not on failure, and these are exactly the qualities that are the blessing of ADHD. When nurtured and encouraged, these children can do more than just manage – they can thrive.

Author Zipi Kobrinski, a long-time ADHD coach and mother herself, encourages readers to stop thinking about how our children can succeed despite ADHD, and start imagining just what they can achieve thanks to ADHD.

Optimistic and down-to-earth, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Success offers a refreshing approach to provide parents and professionals with practical tools such as:

• How to create a supportive home environment for your child
• How to embrace the gifts and advantages that come with a scattered mind
• How to encourage children with ADHD to realize their full potential
• And how to overcome the stigmas and turn struggles into success

With decades of experience coaching children and families with ADHD, Zipi Kobrinski’s knowledge and expertise is a beacon of hope for any parent or therapist looking for a contemporary, effective approach to help children with ADHD reach their fullest potential.

A revolutionary idea. A peerless investigator. And a race to find the truth about God on Earth…

Veteran investigative journalist Ilana Perez has seen her fair share of the unusual and the unexplained. As the reporter and producer of “As a Matter of Fact”, TV’s number one investigative expose’ program, she deals with bizarre occurrences and strange incidents in the same eloquent and well-groomed manner as she does her personal life.

When a freak plane crash leaves five people dead without explanation, Perez’s journalistic instincts push her to question its causes.

Five anonymous graves, a DNA test, and a blood-red trail lead Perez and her team to the best kept secret in history locked deep inside the holy land’s hidden vaults. Surrounded by intelligence officers, high-ranking clergymen, and unprecedented political powers, Perez and her team slowly learn how some secrets are better left undisturbed.

Jean-Pierre Lévy’s love affair with Israel began in 1962 and lasts to this day. In his book, the former marketing executive, Harvard alumnus, and war veteran discusses Israel, the “gigantic, small country,” while directing his words to those who are too often unaware of what the Holocaust was and know little about the toils of the only Jewish state. In a relationship that is both historical and educational, the author presents them with Israel’s greatest achievements. A man of dialogue, he also endeavors to offer this book as a message of peace to Holocaust deniers and anti-Zionists.

Trained in marketing at HEC and then at Harvard business school, Jean-Pierre Lévy works tirelessly to raise Israel’s profile across the globe. As a member of the French Committee for Yad Vashem, he helps preserve the memory of the victims of the Holocaust throughout France and Europe.

I Don’t Know How She Does It meets The Big Short in a smart and racy debut with a uniquely brazen heroine.

It’s the end of the sweet, sweet 1990s, and I’m surrounded by success. Meaning, everyone around me is successful. I’m just the one who builds them up, so to speak. I’m caught in the middle of the emerging (testosterone-filled) hi-tech bubble, having to climb figurative (and literal) mountains just to get a “thank you.” Don’t you worry, though – I’m down with handling other people’s money for profit. You think I got it made? You try juggling a company, a husband, a family, clients, children, contractors, and an especially talkative cat in the middle of a global crisis.

Biting and uncompromising, D.R. Braun’s take on the power of assertive women in a male-dominant industry and the economic struggles that led to the 2008 crisis holds no punches, shining a bright light on the dramatic life of a modern working mom.

Education innovator and international expert Maya Wizel showcase the dramatic “full-scale change” required for designing better, more relevant education systems for all.

The so called “formal” and “nonformal” education systems are seemingly polar opposites. Where one system is didactic and academically oriented, the other is more flexible, and oriented towards problem-solving and social skills. Both systems can undoubtedly work simultaneously toward the same goal – but can they coexist together under one roof? What can formal educators in schools and in higher education adopt and learn from the experience of non-formal educators?

Through her methodical yet poignant research, lifelong education innovator Dr. Maya Wizel demonstrates how the values of youth movements, summer camps, and other non-formal educational settings can help guide the new generation of educators and policy makers. She brings the voices of educators who “crossed over” from the non-formal to the formal system, carrying with them values and practices that help fulfill and advance the current goals of formal education systems.

In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Wizel draws upon her extensive 25+ years of experience in various global education systems to demonstrate how the practical tools of non-formal education can have a profound impact by:

• Increasing learner engagement and motivation through providing more choice.
• Developing competencies, including creativity and teamwork, that are essential for the 21st century.
• Empowering students to become self-directed learners.
• Expanding the range of teaching methods through promoting active learning.
• Improving communication skills and fostering positive relationships through enhanced dialogue.

Appealing and engaging for any educationally inclined reader, The Neckerchief Revolution is a concise, comprehensive look on the cutting-edge practices at the foreground of independent learning and futureproof education.

Her illness almost destroyed her life. It ended up giving her hope.

At the height of her professional career, groundbreaking immunologist Dr. Tamar Jehuda Cohen was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain aneurism. While doctors debated where and how they will operate, open, and remove parts of her brain, Tamar’s thoughts wander on the procedure’s effects on her mind – and her soul.

In the blink of an eye, Tamar’s professional life as a researcher, inventor, entrepreneur, lecturer, and scientist, built over twenty long years – was lost. In its place came epilepsy, severe pain, loss of speech, and other impossible obstacles imposed by complex brain surgeries.

Yet for Tamar, the aneurism was a godsend and a revelation. In the light of the struggles it brings, she found the energy and strength to grow, develop—and eventually, heal. With remarkable resilience, tenacity, vision, and hope; with plenty of compassion and zero self-pity, The Light of Reason is a life-affirming, courage-inspiring road through a mind faced with its own mortality, and the inner peace that lies within every single one of us.

War tore them apart. Family brought them together.

September, 1939. The six Zaks siblings watch in silent horror as the Wehrmacht marches into their quiet hometown in southern Poland. Concerned for their survival, Yisrael Zaks leads his wife Haiya and his brothers Volf and Avraham towards the Russian border.

But their escape does not go unhindered; and as they are captured by the invading German forces, they can hear their father’s last commandment still echoing behind them: “Never break the family apart. And whatever you do: never, ever leave any one of your siblings behind.”

Thus begins the Zaks family’s saga of survival under some of the worst conditions imaginable. Reunions and tragedies follow as the Zaks brothers: Yisrael and his wife Hayia, Volf, Yossef and Avraham, and their sisters Miriam and Batya witness firsthand the horrors of Auschwitz IV, Buchenwald, and Bergen-Belsen, with only each other to protect them from the greatest evils man has ever known.

The Zaks family story is a unique and gripping tale of the powers of brotherly love, unflinching unity, and unwavering faith against the insurmountable odds of war.

Who stole millions from banks around the Middle East, and for what purpose?

Who leads millions of `freedom fighters` worldwide?

Who is behind the dreaded “doomsday” scenario?

Who is The Assyrian?

Forbidden memories. Family lost and found. And a secret, kept for 60 years, about to be revealed.

Zahava knew very little about her parents before her birth in a German DP camp after World War II, or of her father’s childhood in Chortkiv, Poland. After he passed away, her father left her with many questions unanswered – and many questions that were yet unknown.

Then her phone rang.

What starts as an innocent inquiry from a fateful stranger, quickly becomes a lifechanging experience. Years after his death Zahava embarks on a journey to rediscover her father’s chronicles before the holocaust, learning more about her father’s history than she ever thought possible; Enough to reshape her understanding of his life, the war, and his relationship with his family – the one he started with her mother, and the unspoken one he left behind.

A modern classic that sails between childhood and adulthood, praised by bestselling author Galila Ron-Feder as “wonderful and pleasantly original.”

As a boy, Bonny Hood wandered the streets of his hometown, pursuing the villains of an imaginary world. Seeking escape from a broken home and the harsh reality of real life, he saw himself as the brave hero of his own story, out to save the world – though he felt he had no one to save him.

As an adult, Bonny’s yearning to escape to a world of his own and find peace from the childhood traumas that plague him, leads him to the relative quiet of the desert. But a chance encounter with a stranger causes him to wonder – can peace truly be gained among the silent desert sands, or does it reside deep within, just waiting to be found?

Bonny’s adventures merge the urban with the rural, fantasy with truth, and the naïveté of childhood with the unforgiving reality of adulthood. In gentle prose and thoughtful reflection, author Yossi Ovadia weaves a whimsical tale you won’t be able to resist.

On tonight’s menu: the real stories (and popular myths) behind the culinary world’s famous dishes!

Which poisonous soup saved the life of its inventor? What made a certain dough-based dish catch the eye of an Italian queen? And how did Napoleon Bonaparte’s infamous conquest forever change the European kitchen?

Over three decades of culinary expertise brought Paris-trained Chef Rafael Agam to frequently ponder the nature of the famous dishes he prepared. More often than not, his questions were left largely unanswered; As Agam puts it, “Historians of the past tended to focus on subjects more “important” than food – like war and famine to name a few.”

From the musky prison cells of the Isle of Man to turbulent Chinese dynasties and lavish French castles, Agam crosses centuries and continents to pen the history surrounding the big names behind fine dining’s most famous cuisines. Armed with a chef’s knife and intuition, Foods That Made History is a captivating, entertaining, highly satisfying full-course menu for foodies and history lovers alike.

Acting Mossad Chief David Avivi faces a new nuclear threat from democracy’s greatest enemy, in the newest installment of this white-knuckle suspense series.

The trade sanctions imposed by the US and the West are crippling Iran’s economy. The high living costs and the staggering unemployment rate have led to widespread social unrest, only to be swiftly and ruthlessly crushed under the heels of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

To save their crumbling regime from succumbing to the demands of western powers, the Iranian leadership adopts a daring plan – a sophisticated disinformation campaign designed to intimidate world leaders into submission. As both the White House and UN are dumbfounded in the face of a new nuclear threat, David Avivi moves to formulate a response. Battle-hardened from years of service, Avivi has only so much time before the atomic clock strikes midnight, with one standing question at the heart of the operation:

Is the Iranian threat a bluff, or is nuclear war truly imminent?

A veteran Mossad spymaster faces the fallout of vengeance from every direction, as multiple strands of history and espionage converge in the most realistically grounded intelligence novel in recent years.

The son of a Holocaust survivor, Ben uses every trick of the trade to try and outsmart his adversaries. As his mission unfolds, critical information comes to light concerning a notorious Nazi war criminal 70 years on the run, an international ring of art thieves, and a ticking time bomb in the heart of a major European city. Set against the backdrop of the Iranian nuclear crisis, The Rome Assignment sets itself apart with a layered and grounded portrayal of real-life espionage, terror, and the consequences the protagonists must face.

As they go deeper into the interior of the house, the boundaries between the possible and the impossible blur. Inside, they discover peculiar rooms, a talking cuckoo clock, giant toys and a handsome prince who invites Sharon to join his dreamland kingdom.

When her faith becomes a threat, her very existence is an act of defiance.

Fiume, 1938. Italy slowly falls as Mussolini rise to power. Feeling the tide shift, Simone and Rebecca Schmidt escape under the cover of night to the remote village of San-Daniele, disguised as Christian refugees. It is there they hope to keep their four children, especially their youngest daughter Liliana, safe from the oppression of war.

San-Daniele, 1942. After years of living in hiding, Liliana Schmidt makes two lifechanging promises on her loving mother’s deathbed: she will bury her in the Jewish cemetery besides her family after the war ends, and she will hold on to her Jewish faith – no matter the cost.

A lone Jewish girl in occupied Italy, Liliana finds refuge in the most unlikely of places – a village abbey. Its promise of safety is enticing, but the price of a peaceful life might be too much to bear. It is there she will learn the true meaning of faith, and what is more important – the sanctity of life, or the promise we make to the dead?

Set during World War II, The Girl From San-Daniele is a moving story of one girl’s bravery, inspired by an unbelievable true story of mercy and compassion.

A veteran midwife and psychotherapist shares inspiring journeys of birthing women who labor to transform their traumas into positive and healing experiences. Birth Days weaves together the knowledge that world-renowned midwife Mindy Levy accumulated while caring for hundreds of pregnant women for three decades.

As she draws the connection between trauma and labor, Levy recounts her experiences before, during, and after each birth. She shares the life lessons they imparted upon her and does not shy away from examining her own weaknesses – often leading to greater understanding and insights into the healing potential surrounding the birth process.

The women in Levy’s book come from all walks of life, distinct in every possible aspect, including their birth experiences. Via Levy’s unique position as a midwife, educator and psychotherapist, we witness midwifery in its highest form: combining psychological, educational, holistic, feminist, trauma-sensitive and developmental approaches that encapsulate the miracle of giving life – and the chance of being born anew.

Munich, 1945. Max Fischer cannot remember anything from his life before the concentration camp. Not his family, not his occupation, not even his own name. All he is left with is the sickening, maniacal laugh that echoes in his head. More than haunting his every waking moment, the laugh is Max’s only connection to his lost past. For a holocaust survivor, recalling the past comes with a heavy toll.

Just months after the allied forces liberated the camp that interned him, Max is introduced to the beautiful and wealthy Alexandra Brecholdt. The former Berlin actress seems adamant on taking Max into her care, but there is something she is too ashamed, or too afraid to tell him. The secret of her fortune, her survival—and her son.

As Max’s memories begin to unravel, it becomes clear that the laugh is the key to his lost past. Restless, Max takes it upon himself to uncover its origins as Alexandra vows to protect him from the horrible truths it hides. Their mutual hunger for life shows them the true meaning of courage, love, and hope – and the ultimate secret behind the laugh.

She was liberated from hell on Earth. But will she ever be free from Auschwitz?

Poland, 1943. Dark skies and barbed wire fences were all Bluma Plaskovsky saw as she stepped down from the train onto the main platform of Auschwitz-Birkenau. After surviving the Wehrmacht’s decimation of her hometown, Bluma and what remained of her family were finally put on the long, harsh train ride through inhuman conditions that seemed to last an eternity.

Then the freight doors opened, and their fates were sealed.

For years Bluma was living her worst nightmare, as Auschwitz prisoner 31119. Working as a “blue scarf”—designated for the hard, menial labor around the camps—she witnessed firsthand the hope and kindness humanity is capable of, even under worst conditions of horror and despair. After the camp is finally liberated, Bluma takes whatever family she has left to try and rebuild their lives. But as she soon learns, escaping Auschwitz is harder than she thought. And her experiences will be tattooed on her for the rest of her life.

This is the shocking survival story of Bluma Plaskovsky, Auschwitz prisoner number 31119, as told to her son Yitzchak with touching humility and admirable willpower. Her story is intertwined with Yitzchak’s own quest for justice, not only for his mother, but to all survivors and their families who were, and still are, touched by the trauma of the holocaust.

Caught up in a global terrorism plot, a covert agent must make the choice between his faith in the people who trained him and his oath to save lives.

He looks just like the neighbor from across the hall. Like the friendly tourist at the shop. For all they know, he is. Trained by the Organization to gather the intel on some of the most dangerous men in the modern world, Yoav has been working as a field agent for the past five years. He’s the man the man on the ground. Invisible, able to change identities in the blink of an eye. He’s saving lives.

Or so he thinks.

When his latest target turns out to be a known terrorist who slipped through his assassination attempt once before, Yoav sets out on the hunt. His mission to infiltrate one of the most dangerous extremist groups in the world takes an unexpected turn, involving his young and talented protégé and a beautiful French newscaster, who knows a lot more than meets the eye.

What starts out like just another assignment quickly turns into a lifechanging experience with shocking repercussions. Death, torture, and morality get mixed together with Yoav’s ever-shifting aliases as he slides in-and-out of countries, warzones, and international terror cells.

Can he make the ultimate choice?

A provocative manifesto that challenges the false notion of “coexistence” between Arabs and Jews in Israel and offers a groundbreaking blueprint for a truly shared society.

In this moving memoir, lifelong activist Shuli Dichter traces his own ideological transformation From an Israeli kibbutznik who as a Jew was raised to be a master of the Promised Land, to someone who now seeks complete and full equality for Jews and Arabs there. In twelve moving stories and six powerful reflections, Dichter takes readers along the bumpy path that is required for shaping fair and equal relations between Israel’s Jewish and Arab citizens. His insights and conclusions stem from his decades of daily experience as a Jew practicing partnership with Arab colleagues in the realm of civil society organizations.

Following a thorough and painful examination of the first century of Jewish-Arab relations, he suggests a profound conceptual change of Zionism, one that would draw on some of the valuable lessons learned by Diaspora Jewy in living among the nations. This transformation, Dichter argues, is a vital condition for the future of collective Jewish life in Israel.

Can Israel learn from this account? Can Diaspora Jews reshape their view of Israel after years of being shown a reality that never really existed?

Shuli Dichter – lifelong activist, formally executive director of shared society NGOs, has been researching and promoting equality and integration between Arab and Jewish citizens in Israel for over 30 years.

Sharing the Promised Land redefines what it means to be a Zionist in the 21st century. Dichter’s thoughtful insights and innovative proposals offer a controversial yet compelling argument for honest, lasting solutions to the power imbalance plaguing the two peoples living in the State of Israel.

Four tormented souls. Two impossible love stories. One inescapable fate.

The Middle Between Us delicately unfurls the love stories of two sets of couples, detached by time but brought together by fate. Where one is set in the artisanal streets of a 21st-century city life, the other depicts the breathtaking wild mountains of eastern Europe as it’s set ablaze by the religious zealotry of World War I. Where one revolves around two men coming to term with their own sexual identities, the other forces its two young lovers apart in the face of insurmountable odds. Seemingly unrelated at first, the two star-crossed couples find out they are not only parallel – but deeply intertwined.

Itamar S.N. delicately but unapologetically weaves the complexities of modern-day romance with conflicts as old as time, finding the middle between love and acceptance, intimacy and desire, obsession and art.

How do you cope with an ill system, in desperate need of human attention?

We all depend on the healthcare system to keep us and our loved ones safe, healthy, and alive. But what does it mean for us if the very system responsible for our welfare is in desperate need of attention itself?

In Careless, practicing physician and medical educator Dr. Aviva Elad delves into how and why doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals are caught in a system that renders them unintentionally careless – and harmful.

Dr. Elad highlights a collection of potentially life-saving tips and recommendations for patients and their loved ones as they interact with their caregivers, drawn from her decades of experience from both sides of the healthcare system.

Combining specific case studies with her own personal experience, she demonstrates firsthand how overworking, understaffing, unreasonable expectations, and detachment, all contribute to the sickness of modern-day healthcare.

We deserve to live in a world where we can depend on our doctors to care and treat us more effectively – and while we may never be able to guarantee perfection, there are most certainly improvements within our reach.

1930. 18-years-old Jenia Levkowitz stands alone on the bow of a ship, a single suitcase in her hands. Dissatisfied with being married off to her parents’ chosen suiter, she leaves everything behind for a life of adventure in a newly formed Israeli Kibbutz. It is where she has her children. Where she makes her home. Where she falls in love.

Until the unthinkable happens.

1977. Carmit struggles to find her place among her friends, at school, or at home – where she cares for her mentally estranged mother. When she is urged to write a paper on one influential figure from her Kibbutz, her choice raises more than a few eyebrows. Ignoring the constant attempts to dissuade her, Carmit begins her inquiry into one of the Kibbutz most scandalous founders – an infamous night guard named Jenia Levkowitz.

Instant crowdfunding success! • Hope and human compassion envelope this inspiring, eye-opening and heart wrenching true story exposing the systematic oppression and persecution of medicinal cannabis patients, and the group of underground “angels in disguise” fighting to bring the medicinal herb to those who need it most.

Early into his 40s, Tom Wegner received the one piece of news everybody fears; his father was diagnosed with cancer. Just like that, Wegner’s life course evaporated: One day he was living the life of a hotshot political campaigner, and the next he became the only caregiver for a terminal cancer patient.

The attempts to alleviate his father’s constant pain were Wegner’s first steps into the absurd, wonderful, mind-boggling world of medical cannabis. Cannabis Wars chronicles not only Wegner’s experiences with the medicinal herb, but the story of an entire movement that spurred out to fight for patients’ rights while facing bloody red tapes and stone-faced bureaucracy.

Dozens of activists, patients and professionals have shared their story and knowledge with Wegner’s book. From an underground movement of selfless angels to world-renowned doctors and researchers who sacrificed their names and livelihood for the good of others, Cannabis Wars gives a unique, never-seen-before glimpse into the medical world’s backyard: the draconic cannabis laws and their infuriating consequences, the special interest groups backing them, and the lives of those who are willing to pay a heavy price to help complete strangers in need.

This beautifully illustrated rendition of Malka Adler’s acclaimed The Brothers of Auschwitz is a child-friendly retelling of one of history’s most important stories, specially adapted for young readers.

Itzhak is a young teen in Hungary when the Nazis barge into his home one day and force him and his family to leave everything behind and get on a train to a concentration camp. When Itzhak is separated from his entire family, he is left feeling scared and alone.

With no one to talk to and no one to look after him, Itzhak knows that he will have to be strong – and very brave – to survive the war and be reunited with his family. But can he manage to do it on his own?

Taken as a prisoner of war, his survival depends on one thing only – the secret of his Jewish identity.

At the height of World War II, Yaakov-Jacques Kalderon is a Jewish soldier in the Yugoslavian army, fighting against the German forces. When he falls captive at the hands of the enemy Yaakov knows that in order to survive, he will have no choice but to hide his identity from everyone – even the closest of allies.

In constant danger of discovery and subsequent death, Yaakov must rely on his wits, skills, and no little luck to endure the tortures of war and hold on to his deepest hope – making it out of the war alive and reuniting with his family.

Years later, after Yaakov-Jacques’s death, his daughter happens upon an old diary written in a foreign language. As she works to interpret it, the truth of her father’s incredible story finally begins to come to light, after years of being shrouded in secrecy. It is a tale of strength, resilience, and miraculous escapes from death, from the eyes of a secret Jewish soldier.

A young girl’s dream of escaping the circumstances of her birth and lineage takes form in this new literary voice.

There are a lot of things 5-year-old Yanina Lishanski doesn’t understand. She doesn’t understand why she only sees her family in old photographs, or why she must never talk about her parents’ life in Germany before 1950. She doesn’t understand why the neighborhood children mock her accent, or why she has to go to sleep hungry each night.

But Yanina also understands many things. Like how she always wants more out of life. More from her education, more from her emotionally abusive mother and her violent father. More from her friends and loved ones.

Encapsulating the immigrant experience of the 1950s through the eyes of a child born to a world she will forever be a stranger to, Yanina’s complex relationships with her family, her sister, and her childhood romances all pose a fascinating question. How much are we really slaves to our upbringing, and the circumstances into which we’re born? Can Yanina escape her fate, and become something more? Or will she be forever haunted by the words of her mother, “One day you’ll thank me for this”?

Adaptive teaching does not endeavor to “fix” anything, because no one is broken. Its purpose is to accommodate education so that it is suited to all students, in light of goals, needs, and characters.

When educators are asked about inclusion and acceptance of all students, their honest response is that inclusion is an important part of the educational assignment, but the understanding of how to apply such a concept to the classroom is often lacking and considered the domain of special education teachers alone.

However, as social and educational awareness to this issue grows, winds of change are blowing. Educators must adapt their strategies and approaches, their methods and means to the needs and singularity of each of their students.

Adaptive Teaching offers a new, relevant, realistic approach to inclusive education. It includes both theory and practical tools, but is dependent on educators’ willingness to contemplate themselves through this new attitude and adapt themselves to their students’ needs and today’s educational reality.

Dr. Gilat Trabelsi is a researcher, educational counselor, and senior teacher training expert. In her book, she shares crucial information that will help educators:

*Reduce the anxiety surrounding the demands of adaptive teaching

*Form awareness and opinions regarding adaptive teaching as a worldview

*Learn how to design functions and skills in all fields of knowledge, based on accumulative experience

Is the COVID-19 pandemic simply a devastating turn of events… or is there a far deeper meaning behind it?

COVID-19 shook the world like nothing ever before. For the first time in a long time, a pandemic spread globally, and no one was safe from its wrath. While scientists have been busy with how, when, where, and what can be done to stop it, few have stopped to think about a far more important, fundamental question: why?

Just like the flood in Noah’s time, COVID-19 is a warning to the world. It is a stop sign, a plea to take a step back and look at what we have become – as individuals, as societies, as a whole. Through the wisdom and teachings of the bible, this book endeavors to explain the cause and meaning behind the virus, and to guide humanity on its path to redemption.

This book, based on wide-ranging research on water, views the world through the rippling, complex lens of water. It looks at the emergence of civilizations and their decay, delves into creation myths, ponders the place of water in the human psyche as expressed in art and poetry and folklore, considers its role as a factor of production, a source of energy, a conduit of transportation, and a consumer good, examines changing concepts of physical and spiritual cleanliness, and notes the magical powers of springs and wishing wells and rainmakers.

It reveals how this colorless, tasteless, and odorless substance has made such an impact on our bodies and our souls. Like water itself, it meanders far and wide, and it may, just possibly, restore our sense of wonder at this elixir of life.

Nina Selbst’s pellucid and friendly style of writing and her overflowing enthusiasm for her subject assure the reader not only an enlightening experience but also a pleasurable one.

Fascinating journey into the hidden and dramatic period between the Bible and Christianity

The Judean Mountains, 166 BCE. Apollonius, Governor of Samaria, leads a military campaign whose objective is to crush the incipient Maccabean Revolt.

His army counts highly trained veteran soldiers and officers. Opposite them, an uprising is
being conducted by farmers and priests, people lacking any kind of military preparation and experience in battle.

Priests of War allows us a glimpse into the heart of the dramatic events that took place in the Land of Israel as a result of King Antiochus IV’s decrees to end Jewish tradition.

The author of the historical novel series Lions of Judea helps us get acquainted with some of the main characters who played the leading roles, together with a taste of the wonderful pace and action typical of his work.

He was caught taking the yellow patch off his clothes and trying to sneak back into the city.

Many books have been written about the experiences of Europe’s Jews during the Second World War, but few stand comparison with this account.

Based on the author’s own experience, as a teenage partisan interned in a concentration camp in his native Bulgaria, this book paints a vivid picture of the harsh realities of the daily routine. A varied cast of characters – ranging from sadistic paramilitaries to skeletal inmates engaged in a grotesque struggle for survival – is brought vividly to life. The style is terse, direct and uncompromising, making no concessions to sentimentality and eschewing conventional literary flourishes. Interspersed in the text there are quotations from various religious sources – Jewish, Christian, and mystical – underlining the author’s belief in the survival of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

The most important things you should know and no one told you about childbirth

Birth and early motherhood are often painted as beautiful, natural, magical experiences. While this is true, there is so much more to the process – and often, new mothers find themselves unprepared and overwhelmed, simply for the lack of knowledge.

It was not so long ago that we lived in clans, and before that in tribes. The wisdom of the tribe flowed through our veins. By the time a woman became pregnant, she already knew what she was getting into, and was surrounded with support.

Nowadays, most women are exposed to only a fragment of this great wisdom and mostly in real time – when they are pregnant. Though we live in an information age, new mothers are often unaware of crucial things they should know about childbirth and experience a huge gap between how they imagine early motherhood and what their actual day-to-day looks like.

Following her birthing experience, Keren Boyko embarked on a journey to help expecting mothers fill that gap of crucial knowledge. She gathered twenty-two new moms and well-known birth specialists, to share their professional wisdom, and their brave, honest and humor-filled testimonies. Together, they have created a modern tribal wisdom which will guide you through this wondrous, challenging and powerful time in the best way possible.

In children’s fairytales, love is magic. In real life, love is magic you have to work hard for.

Every romantic relationship begins with the spark of falling in love, magnetizes two hearts of a prince and a princess, and then moves on to the Big Bang of routine and children, followed by a long, cold winter: the hearts close off, the sexuality shuts down, and the love freezes. The exhausted prince and princess morph into a dragon and a witch, and the relationship becomes an arena of battle and pain.

If they can make it through the struggles along their path – get through the boggy marsh of arguments, accept the long silences, the boredom, the suffocation, and the burning need to escape – if they make it through fire and ice without breaking up, they will discover the final stage of their evolution: the phase of the king and queen.

The king and queen know everything about each other, acknowledge their weaknesses and strengths, the beautiful and the ugly, the good and the bad in themselves and in their partner, and choose to focus on the good. Their relationship contains the initial infatuation together with the struggles of the journey and creates depth and development. This is ripe, mature, fulfilling love.

Happily Ever After is written with humor meant to capture the hearts of its readers. It is filled with accurate descriptions of daily scenes and arouses in (almost) every couple a sense of empathy, the calming feeling that everything will be ok, and the hope of compensation after the hard work of maintaining their relationship. This book teaches readers how to work on challenges in their romantic relationships, instead of running from them.

May 1944, Poland. Just a few short days before his 15th birthday, Eli Reismann is sent with his entire family to Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp.

The dogs bark as dogs do, and the SS soldiers bark orders – “Out, out, leave your luggage and belongings on the carriage and get in rows of three! Women on one side, men on the other side, elderly, children, and mothers with their babies separately.”

Imperative Strike is a fast-paced espionage thriller which will keep you riveted from start to finish.

Our true nature is simple and beautiful, thoughts are complicated and intricate. Learn to know the difference.

Our true nature is always present, in each moment, as it is now. We didn’t create it and we can’t stop it. Yet we’ve been taught that what we can’t perceive with our mind and senses is not real, that intuition is unreliable and living like this is dangerous, immature and irresponsible.

The truth is contrary to this. Our thoughts and understandings are by their very nature temporary and fragile. They come from the assumption that we can actually know or control things. And so we defend, attack, withdraw, and even kill or die for these beliefs. But when we do, the essence of our true spirit is brutally pushed aside and we lose so much of life.

What Really Is comes to convey life and the world, not as the interpreting mind describes them, but in their original form – the essence is to know the difference.

Just days before Itay Evron completes his training with Israeli Security Agency, a savage terrorist group brazenly abducts a young corporal who, with his extraordinary memory, could give the murderous faction an unfathomable advantage — with terrifying consequences.

A former soldier distinguished for his bravery, but also a man broken by the brutalities of war — Evron meets and falls in love with Donna, a stunning university student with a magnetic smile and a full-bodied energy that brightens his very existence — to the depths of his fractured, war-ravaged soul.

Now she faces an impossible dilemma: stay in the society that has been forced upon her, raise her child and presumably many more in it, or leave everything behind and run?

14-year-old Shiraz was forced to wed a boring and conservative man who is 20 years her senior.

How did the State of Israel evolve from a marginal economy to one of the significant players in the global trade market?

For many years following its establishment, the small State of Israel was an impoverished country and suffered from great trade deficit, but since the 1980’s it has risen up into a productive, trading country with a thriving economy. How was all this possible despite intricate political challenges?

During the years of technological revolutions and virtual cross-continent domains, the world was slowly globalized. New trade blocs and trade accords were formed, traditional political alliances fell apart, and a long process of peace in the Middle East began.

Zohar Peri served in many positions in the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade – commercial attaché in Bonn, Representative in the international economic organizations in Geneva, Switzerland, head of the Foreign Trade Department and Israel’s Economic minister to North America. He was involved in every one of the crossroads that led Israel to its position as a leading player in international trade.

This memoir is interwoven with stories of both edifying and amusing events experienced by the author.

It’s never too late to make dreams come true – even at the age of 70.

At the age of 68 Dr. Zeev Gilkis, a cancer survivor, decided to gift himself an unusual present for his 70th birthday – to run his first full marathon.

In his previous book “Running Back in Time” the author, writing at the time at age 69, told the story of the first half of his journey. Beginning with two injuries and 5 km runs and ending with achieving his interim goal of running a half-marathon.

“The Beautiful Addiction” relates the second part of his journey, through which Zeev gradually increases the distance of his runs from 21km to 42km while sharing his thoughts about life and becoming ageless, all the way to the surprising ending.

This book is about making dreams come true, setting ambitious goals, persistence, performance, achievement, and joy. There is also some life philosophy and of course, a lot of running.

Read and discover that you too can realize your dreams!

Lietuenant General Gadi Eizenkot, former 21st IDF Chief of Staff: “’Night Raiders’ chronicles the background for the reprisal operations and lays out a profound analysis of their contribution to Israel’s security. The book is of incredible historical value, but even more importantly – it is crucial for the present and future commanders of the IDF, who can use it to learn about the spirit, initiative, and expertise of the fighters and commanders of the past.”

In the years following the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, its Jewish citizens suffered from perpetual terror acts courtesy of their Arab neighbors, who infiltrated its borders with the purpose of destroying property and even taking lives.

At first, Israel employed a passive strategy, guarding its borders, observing its enemy, placing ambushes on their path, and holding political discussions about ceasefires. But the attacks did not cease, on the contrary, they multiplied, and the IDF was forced to take an active approach.

This is the fascinating story of the fighters and commanders of Paratrooper Unit 101 of the 890th Battalion, and of 202nd Brigade. The heroic reprisal operations which they carried out over the border between 1953 and 1956 allowed the IDF to give Israel’s citizens relative peace.

The fast-paced descriptions laid out in the book are reminiscent of a true thriller, and it is impossible to put down. It brings to life the unique operational tactics employed by the fighters who would later become legends, among them Ariel Sharon, commander of the 890th Battalion and 11th Prime Minister of Israel.

Uzi Eilam was among the first Israeli paratroopers and served as deputy to Meir Har-Tzion, one of the establishers of the special unit. Eilam was awarded the Medal of Courage for his bravery and resourcefulness during Operation Black Arrow, and in 2002 was awarded the Israel Defense Prize.

It is well known that time is one of the biggest scientific mysteries of life. But what if time is not at all what we think it is?
