Theodore Bikel’s The City of Light
Price range: $16.95 through $26.95
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)

About Can Robots Be Jewish? And Other Pressing Questions of Modern Life:
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.
