1001+ Wacky, Daffy, Crazy One Liners and Definitions! by Thos Zettel Experiencing crazy days or/and nights? Daffier than daffy friends and/or family members? Wacky events control your life and happen all too soon to you? ‘Furr-ga-about it!’ Friend and/or not foe… Pick up this book, then put it down, pick it up, down, up again and keep it up, because isn’t laughter the best medicine? The title tells you what it’s about, but the author needs to bore you for about 1100 letters (half a $100 worth). Here we go, that’s three, now five, he means… Really just open it up, stick your nose into it and read a few lines, then a few more, and a couple more, then more, and before you know it, you’ve read some for free (what’s for free now-a-days?). If you like it, buy it. If you don’t like it, buy it anyway (Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa is only XXX day’s away). Zettel had to burn up four dozen plus two words…that’s fifty right? Listen, we all know that life can be tough or bizarre or I don’t know what?! It can also be pleasant and laid-back and it can be “I don’t want to know anything, except ‘Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha…’” fun and ‘funny-d-ness’ (trademarked word). So pick it up, buy it, read it, and if you don’t dig-it, re-gift it. If you do, buy two or more for some friends and some not so ‘foettes’ (trademarked also!), then everybody can delight in a good (excellent!) chuckle-y until wacky, daffy, and crazy schedules and resume in life’s progression. Enjoy and dig-it!

A classified bibliographic resource for tracing the history of Jewish translation activity from the Middle Ages to the present day, providing the researcher with over a thousand entries devoted solely to the Jewish role in the east-to-west transmission of Greek and Arab learning and science into Latin or Hebrew. Other major sections extend the coverage to modern times, taking special note of the absorption of European literature into the Jewish cultural orbit via Hebrew, Yiddish, or Judezmo translations, for instance, or the translation and reception of Jewish literature written in Jewish languages into other languages such as Arabic, English, French, German, or Russian. This polyglot bibliography, the first of its kind, contains over 2,600 entries, is enhanced by a vast number of additional bibliographic notes leading to reviews and related resources, and is accompanied by both an author and a subject index.

Since it was first published in Hebrew in 2000, this provocative book has been garnering acclaim and stirring controversy for its bold reinterpretation of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity in the Middle Ages, especially in medieval Europe. Looking at a remarkably wide array of source material, Israel Jacob Yuval argues that the inter-religious polemic between Judaism and Christianity served as a substantial component in the mutual formation of each of the two religions. He investigates ancient Jewish Passover rituals; Jewish martyrs in the Rhineland who in 1096 killed their own children; Christian perceptions of those ritual killings; and events of the year 1240, when Jews in northern France and Germany expected the Messiah to arrive. Looking below the surface of these key moments, Yuval finds that, among other things, the impact of Christianity on Talmudic and medieval Judaism was much stronger than previously assumed and that a "rejection of Christianity" became a focal point of early Jewish identity. Two Nations in Your Womb will reshape our understanding of Jewish and Christian life in late antiquity and over the centuries.
