of Israel |

Marc |
$50
|
| Published in honor of the 350th anniversary of Jewish communal
life in North America, Remnant of Israel provides a remarkable
portrait of America’s first Jewish synagogue, Congregation
Shearith Israel, founded in 1654. Written by Rabbi Marc Angel,
spiritual leader of the synagogue for over 30 years, the book
reveals how the story of the congregation is intertwined with
the development of the American Jewish community and their adopted
city and nation. This heavily illustrated volume is rich with
documents and photos that recreate both the synagogue’s
and its members’ past. |

| The Search Committee |
| Angel,
Marc |
$19.95
|
A powerful story about two rabbinical scholars who seek to become head of a leading Lithuanian-type Yeshiva. The novel unfolds as a series of presentations to the Search Committee—by the candidates, their wives, colleagues, students, and philanthropic supporters. The struggle is not just between two men, but between two very different views of Judaism, Torah education, modernity, the role of women, and freedom of thought and expression. |
