Can Robots Be Jewish?
$24.95 – $34.95Price range: $24.95 through $34.95
Should we edit our children’s genes? Are there things that can’t be forgiven? Are Jews still expecting a messiah? Is Judaism good for women? Should Jews strive to be happy? Do Jews believe in the afterlife? Can robots be Jewish? In this book, rabbis spanning the range of modern Jewish thought, from Humanist and Reform to Orthodox and beyond, consider these difficult and provocative questions and many others. Sometimes they agree – but not often. Editor Amy E. Schwartz provides delightful commentary, celebrating the rabbinic impulse to question every assumption and highlighting the many and sometimes surprising ways ancient texts can speak to us today.
The Religion News Service says: “The most intriguing books on religion we read this year,” Can Robots Be Jewish? is a must read!

Spiritual Bathing
In their book Spiritual Bathing, Rosita Arvigo and Nadine Epstein explore traditions—many lost or forgotten—that have been intertwined with religion, spirituality and culture since ancient and medieval times. From mikvahs to baptism to charity baths, these traditions can serve as a way to reconnect with nature or God; rejuvenate the mind, body and soul; and help relieve anxiety, insomnia and depression. Encompassing knowledge from 15 world traditions, this beautifully illustrated guide features detailed instructions to create nurturing and restorative spiritual bathing rituals both at home and elsewhere.

Theodore Bikel’s The City of Light
Based on a story by the late movie actor, folk singer, musician, composer, unionist, and political activist, this children’s book is by his widow Aimee Ginsburg Bikel and illustrated by Noah Phillips. It poignantly recounts moments from Theodore Bikel’s childhood in Vienna, when he experienced anti-Semitism as Nazi influence grew—and dreamed of a Jewish superhero, Judah Maccabee who could rescue the Jews. Includes favorite Jewish recipes and a glossary of Yiddish words. (MomentBooks)
