No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. The Nazis plotted to kill the city's Jews and to sabotage the nation's military installations: plans existed for hanging 20 prominent Hollywood figures such as Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Samuel Goldwyn; for driving through Boyle Heights and machine-gunning as many Jews as possible; and for blowing up defense installations and seizing munitions from National Guard armories along the Pacific Coast.

The moments that it took Gavrilo Princip to step forward to the stalled car and shoot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife were perhaps the most fateful of the modern era. An act of terrorism of staggering efficiency, it fulfilled its every aim: it would liberate Bosnia from Habsburg rule, and it created a powerful new Serbia, but it also brought down four great empires, killed millions of men and destroyed a civilization. What made a seemingly prosperous and complacent Europe so vulnerable to the impact of this assassination?

Part memoir, part reckoning, part argument for a different future, Peace Is the Only Final Solution for Jews asks whether Israel can survive without an external enemy and refuses to let the reader look away from the answer. Avrum Burg, a former Speaker of the Knesset raised in the shadow of the Hebron massacre and the Holocaust, traces how Israel's founding trauma hardened, over decades, into a permanent and self-justifying machinery of fear.

In 1665-1666 the messianic movement of Sabbatai Zevi (also written as Shabbetai Zevi, Shabbetai Tzvi, Shabtai Sevi, etc.) spread like wildfire throughout the Jewish communities of the Mediterranean and northern and western Europe. Some communities were so caught up in the frenzy that they changed their liturgy to reflect what they believed to be in the impending declaration of the messianic age.

Written for those who were bewildered by the conflict between religion and scientific and philosophic ideas, The Guide for the Perplexed is concerned with finding a concord between the text of the Old Testament and its commentaries, and Aristotelian philosophy. After analyzing the ideas of the Old Testament, Maimonides examines other reconciliations of religion and philosophy like the Moslem rationalists and then offers his own resolution with Aristotelianism.

Today there are two seemingly mutually exclusive notions of what “the Jews” are: either a religion or a nation/ethnicity. In this provocative book, based on his decades of study of the history of the Jews, Daniel Boyarin lays out the problematic aspects of this binary opposition and offers the outlines of a different—and very old—answer to the question of the identity of a diaspora nation. He aims to drive a wedge between the “nation” and the “state,” only very recently conjoined, and recover a robust sense of nationalism that does not involve sovereignty.

How have the Jews survived? For millennia, they have defied odds by overcoming the travails of exile, persecution, and recurring plans for their annihilation.

Long ago, on a spring morning in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate passed judgment on a mysterious preacher. Jesus of Nazareth was nailed to a cross shortly after and died in agony. The effects of this verdict have reverberated throughout the world and have shaped two millennia of history. Even so, the trial remains shrouded in mystery to this day. Killing the Messiah determines why and how Pilate deemed Jesus guilty of criminal behavior and the roles played by various people in ensuring Jesus' crucifixion.

Uncover the Most Influential Extra-Biblical Text Found in the Dead Sea Scrolls! Between 1947 & 1956, archaeologists uncovered approximately fifteen distinct copies of The Book of Jubilees in the caves of Qumran outnumbering virtually every non-canonical text found at the site, including 1 Enoch. Known historically as The Little Genesis and The Apocalypse of Moses, this sacred ancient text was revered by early believers as a direct divine revelation delivered to Moses on Mount Sinai by the Angel of the Presence.

Did Plato possess a Greek Bible centuries before the Septuagint? In the second century, Christian philosopher Justin Martyr made a remarkable accusation: Plato had taken one of his most famous statements about human freedom and divine innocence directly from Moses: “The choice makes you responsible. God is not responsible.” Known in Greek as Aitia helomenou. Theos anaitios, these words appear in Plato’s Myth of Er at the conclusion of the Republic. Yet Justin insisted that Plato had not originated the teaching.

Zionism is the nationalist movement affirming Jewish people's right to self-determination through the establishment of a Jewish national state in its ancient homeland. It is one of the most controversial ideologies in the world. Its supporters laud its success at liberating the Jewish people...

In July 1950, Avi Shlaim, only five, and his family were forced into exile, fleeing their beloved Iraq to the new state of Israel. Today the once flourishing Jewish community of Iraq, at one time numbering over 130,000 and tracing its history back 2,600 years, has all but vanished.

In this new biography of Abraham, Judaism's foundational figure, Anthony Julius offers an account of the origins of a fundamental struggle within Judaism between skepticism and faith, critique and affirmation, thinking for oneself and thinking under the direction of another. Julius describes Abraham's life as two separate lives, and as a version of the collective life of the Jewish people.

What do Jesus Christ, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Albert Einstein have in common? At first glance, almost nothing. One reshaped religion. One ignited revolutions. One uncovered the hidden forces of the human mind. One rewrote the laws of the universe. Yet all four emerged from the same ancient tradition, carrying with them habits of thought, moral tension, intellectual daring, and a restless drive to question the world.
