Book Description
Dan is twenty-six, has a masters degree in international affairs, waits tables to pay the bills, lives with Marnie, but still pines for Julie, who mocks him from behind a huge desk at the law firm where she is a highly-paid summer associate. Tracy is thirty-one, works a dull research job for two guys named John, her mother a hopeless alcoholic, her longtime boyfriend also John a hopeless workaholic; Tracy wants more from life, but does know where to turn. When Tracy invites a Yugoslavian political refugee for dinner, Dan serves them a triple-meat pizza and everything changes. Washington, DC, 1990. Set in the nation's capital and suburban New Jersey in the 1990s, Tracy, My Destiny is a love story. But just who loves whom, how, and where is never clear. Tracy and Dan waste time searching for places they do not know exist, emerging from the ruin of stillborn careers, premature fatalities, irredeemable relationships, sexual harassment, and a mysterious arson in parallel states of confusion. Tracy, My Destiny exposes the powerful emotions that run beneath the surface of modern American life and explores the complex instability and emotional lives of two ordinary, struggling people. This is Michael D. Lieberman's most intimate and poignant fiction, a sometimes bittersweet, and occasionally tragic portrait of the journey into adulthood in late twentieth century America.

Book Description
A moving and revealing exploration of ultra-Orthodox Judaism and one man's loss of faith Shulem Deen was raised to believe that questions are dangerous. As a member of the Skverers, one of the most insular Hasidic sects in the US, he knows little about the outside world—only that it is to be shunned. His marriage at eighteen is arranged and several children soon follow. Deen's first transgression—turning on the radio—is small, but his curiosity leads him to the library, and later the Internet. Soon he begins a feverish inquiry into the tenets of his religious beliefs, until, several years later, his faith unravels entirely. Now a heretic, he fears being discovered and ostracized from the only world he knows. His relationship with his family at stake, he is forced into a life of deception, and begins a long struggle to hold on to those he loves most: his five children. In All Who Go Do Not Return, Deen bravely traces his harrowing loss of faith, while offering an illuminating look at a highly secretive world.

Book Description
A viciously funny and intelligently provocative play about family, friendship and faith, adapted by the author from his Pulitzer-finalist short story. Who in your life would you trust to keep you alive? And who do you know who would risk their own life for yours? Debbie and Lauren were best friends until Lauren became ultra-Orthodox, changed her name and moved to Jerusalem. More than twenty years later, husbands in tow, their Florida reunion descends with painful but hilarious inevitability into an argument about parenthood, marriage, friendship and faith. If you really want to ensure a Jewish future, you should be like me. Good, old-fashioned afraid. Nathan Englander's serious comedy, adapted for the stage from his Pulitzer-finalist short story, received its European premiere at the Marylebone Theatre, London, in October 2024.

Book Description
If you have ever wondered what being born Jewish should mean to you; if you want to find out more about the nature of Judaism, or explain it to a friend; if you are thinking about how Judaism can connect with the rest of your life -- this is the first book you should own. It poses, and thoughtfully addresses, questions like these: Can one doubt God's existence and still be a good Jew? Why do we need organized religion? Why shouldn't I intermarry? What is the reason for dietary laws? How do I start practicing Judaism? The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism was written for the educated, skeptical, searching Jew, and for the non-Jew who wants to understand the meaning of Judaism. It has become a classic and very widely read introduction to the oldest living religion. Concisely and engagingly, authors Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin present Judaism as the rational, moral alternative for contemporary man.

Book Description
For 15 years, Daniel Epstein, a Marketing Director at one of the world's largest corporations, Procter & Gamble, traveled the world for business and for faith. Motivated by his own search to fill the "God-sized hole" in his life, he did not know where it would lead. He felt that if he did not develop some type of spiritual faith he would die. Born and raised a Jew, Daniel's challenges with relationships, work, and "life" forced him at age 36 to get on his knees and pray to a God he did not know, a higher power not specific to either his own Judaism or any religion, and ask for help. In order to keep his new found sense of faith alive and to gain from the experience of others, Daniel created a spiritual exercise out of interviewing people around the world about the role of faith in their lives. As a photographer, Daniel also captured a moment with each person in a black and white portrait meant to evoke their true spirit. In 2012, Daniel launched Portraits on Faith online as the largest documentary project on faith ever compiled by a single person. Over 100 of the 500 portraits shot have been published from 27 countries, which have been viewed over 300,000 times by people around the world. As a culmination of all the work that has to this moment, Daniel is publishing the first volume of Portraits in Faith, which include over 100 portraits, quotes, and reflections on faith from people spanning the world, from over 40 faith traditions and denominations.
