Book Description
"What happens when a big, new family moves into a small, quiet, respectable English town? A lot can happen, and when the Mendels moved into Newfield, most of it did! First of all, there was Yossi--impossible Yossi--the Mendel's youngest son who was always in trouble, infuriating the neighborhood over and over again. Then there was Mrs. Mendel whose husband worked out of town all week long. Left with a houseful of lively children, she was barely able to cope. And worst of all, there was fourteen-year-old Chavi. Surly, defiant and unfriendly, Chavi disliked everyone, and everyone disliked her in return. Even when the girls at Beis Leah Senior School started their Achdus Campaign--a project to promote friendship and good will throughout the community--Chavi refused to cooperate. Entrenched behind her self-made wall of hostility, she annoyed and upset everyone around her. Everyone, that is, except her next-door neighbor and classmate Shifra Perlstein. Not one to be put off by a difficult job, Shifra was determined to find a way into Chavi's heart. She stubbornly continued to blunder, uninvited, into Chavi's private world. Even though her friends laughed at her, and the reward for her efforts was usually a bristling 'Mind your own business!', she did not give up. Until one day, there was a frightening accident..." -- Publisher's description.

A Return to Modesty
Author: Wendy Shalit
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476765170
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
Updated with a new introduction, this fifteenth anniversary edition of A Return to Modesty reignites Wendy Shalit’s controversial claim that we have lost our respect for an essential virtue: modesty. When A Return to Modesty was first published in 1999, its argument launched a worldwide discussion about the possibility of innocence and romantic idealism. Wendy Shalit was the first to systematically critique the "hook-up" scene and outline the harms of making sexuality so public. Today, with social media increasingly blurring the line between public and private life, and with child exploitation on the rise, the concept of modesty is more relevant than ever. Updated with a new preface that addresses the unique problems facing society now, A Return to Modesty shows why "the lost virtue" of modesty is not a hang-up that we should set out to cure, but rather a wonderful instinct to be celebrated. A Return to Modesty is a deeply personal account as well as a fascinating intellectual exploration into everything from seventeenth-century manners to the 1948 tune "Baby, It’s Cold Outside." Beholden neither to social conservatives nor to feminists, Shalit reminds us that modesty is not prudery, but a natural instinct—and one that may be able to save us from ourselves.
