Rabbi Silber has given us two books in one: the

Haggadah itself, in English and Hebrew, with his
seder commentary and a collection of essays that
provide close readings of the classic biblical and
rabbinic texts that inform Seder-night ritual and
narration. Both parts work beautifully together
to illuminate the central themes of Passover:
peoplehood, Covenant, our relationship to ritual,
God’s presence in history, and other important
issues that resonate with us all.

Just as midrash attempts to bridge the gap between

ancient text and contemporary meaning, Rabbi
Silber’s Haggadah provides new sources of insight
that deepen the Passover experience for today’s
readers.

“Dr. Silber’s genius is close reading of texts, bringing

together a keen literary sensibility and a deep
familiarity with biblical and rabbinic sources.”
— Ellen Frankel, JPS Editor Emerita

“Silber’s format enages people in the study of the

Haggadah before and during the Passover holiday,
at their leisure; and it provides a useful resource
right at the seder table.”
—Rabbi Nathaniel Helfgot, Chair, Departments of
Bible and Jewish Thought, Yeshivat Chovevei Torah A Passover Haggadah:

The authors provide a critical, line-by-line
commentary of the biblical text, presented in its
original Hebrew, complete with vocalization and
cantillation marks, as well as the 1985 JPS English
translation. The extensive introduction places
the book within its historical, literary, and critical
context, discusses contemporary interpretations
of the story of Ruth, and examines its major
motifs and themes, among them: family, marriage
and levirate marriage in biblical and ancient
Israel, redemption and inheritance, hesed, and
the book’s connection with the Jewish holiday of
Shavuot.

“Ochs offers readers a rare treat—fine scholarship combined

with inspirational connections to life in the modern world.”
—Jewish Book World

“With warmth, erudition and a very contemporary sensibility,

Ochs offers reflections on the lives of Old Testament matriarchs
that should appeal to women across religious lines. ...”
—Publishers Weekly
In this vivid collection, Judaic scholar Ochs brings the legends
of the biblical matriarchs to new life. Intimate, familiar, and
wise, the heroines in Sarah Laughed are revealed to be
inspiring role models for women today. From Eve’s rebellious
taste of wisdom to the righteous anger of Job’s wife, each
woman’s story is retold in imaginative prose and accompanied
by real-life rituals that can help us gain insight into:
• Finding inner wisdom
• Speaking the true self
• Being a good friend
• Maintaining romantic partnerships
• Raising a family
Vanessa L. Ochs is the Ida and Nathan Kolodiz Director of

into the Aleppo Codex, scholars Tawil and
Schneider vividly recreate the history of this rare
and eminently significant text and track its tragic
course through time ... This highly readable and
intriguing account will captivate readers both
familiar and unfamiliar with the history of the
Crown.” — Publishers Weekly
In Crown of Aleppo, Hayim Tawil and Bernard
Schneider tell the incredible story of the survival,
against all odds, of the Aleppo Codex—considered
to be the most authoritative and accurate
traditional Masoretic biblical text.
Completed about 930 c.e., the Crown was created
by exacting Tiberian scribes who copied the entire
Bible into book form, adding vowel and cantillation
marks, and precise annotations. Praised by Torah
scholars for centuries after its writing, the Crown
passed through history until the 15th century when
it was housed in the Great Synagogue of Aleppo,
Syria. When the synagogue was burned in the 1947

codex begins. Miraculously, a significant portion The history and dramatic rescue of the oldest

smuggled from the synagogue ruins to an unknown
location—presumably in Aleppo. Ten years later, the
surviving pages of the codex were secretly brought

The great Jewish ethical tradition through a

contemporary lens

In this new edition of the well-known Jewish classic,

Berkson helps us see that Pirke Avot (Ethics of the
Fathers) is more than just a fundamental religious
text; it is also a compelling, contemporary ethical
guide.
Berkson looks at the individual sayings, or
mishnayot, through the interpretations of the great
Jewish commentators and also within the broader
context of Western thought—through views found
in the Bible, the ancient Greeks, the Enlightenment,
Buddhism, Confucianism, and American culture
today.
Included are an extensive index, historical chart,
glossary, and the full text of Pirke Avot in English
and Hebrew on facing pages.

Pirke Avot
Timeless Wisdom for Modern Life
William Berkson
Translation with Menachem Fisch

Connecting the wisdom of tradition with

contemporary spirituality

Mesillat Yesharim is a classic of Jewish ethical

literature. Written by one of the leading kabbalists
of the late Middle Ages, it is also a window into
the kabbalist’s understanding of the connection
between ethics and mystical vision.
This translation, published originally in 1936 by
JPS, is a landmark in Jewish publishing. It made
this Hebrew text finally available to English readers,
and it gave us insights into the groundbreaking
work that Kaplan did in orienting American Jews
to the deep connection between ethical living
and religious belief. This book has become the
centerpiece of the modern-day Mussar Movement,
which inspires so many on their spiritual path.
Rabbi Ira Stone, in his introduction, presents
Luzzatto and Mesillat Yesharim in their historical
context, and gives us new insights into Kaplan’s
emerging theology.
This volume contains the original Kaplan
Mesillat Yesharim
translation, as well as those sections of the text
that Kaplan omitted, along with Stone’s new The Path of the Upright
commentary. The original Hebrew text is in the back
of the book. Moses Hayyim Luzzatto
