For the Love of Israel: Essays and Studies on Israel, Jews and Judaism
by Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo

"Perhaps one of the most under-appreciated Jewish theologians of our time is Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo of Jerusalem. I say this because despite the eloquence and timeliness of his message, found in over half a dozen books, Cardozo is rarely cited in religious or political circles. That is unfortunate for all of us and this review is an attempt to rectify that…."
–Alan Jay Gerber, The Jewish Star

Covenantal Imperatives: Essays by Walter S. Wurzburger on Jewish Law, Thought, and Community
edited by Elie Jacobs and Rabbi Shalom Carmy

Covenantal Imperatives, a collection of essays selected from the nearly six decades of Rabbi Dr. Walter Wurzburger's illustrious career, combines the author’s mastery of Halakhah with a deep understanding of Jewish philosophy.

A Circle in the Square: Rabbi Shlomo Riskin Reinvents the Synagogue
by Edward Abramson

What Rabbi Riskin was able to do was... to make the synagogue a haven and a heaven for people. The haven was a place that protected them, that allowed them to rethink the way they embraced society, and a place that gave them the energy to embrace society in a very creative way.... You felt a certain warm embrace because you had all these different individuals finding some form of cocoon in the institution. The heaven part was teaching them that religion was more than just the prayer experience. It was an intellectual rendezvous with God.
–Rabbi Kenneth Brander

Acts of the Mind in Jewish Ritual Law: An Insight into Rabbinic Psychology
by Rabbi Dr. Isaac Cohen

"Rabbi Dr. Isaac Cohen has produced a truly monumental work of Jewish scholarship, majestic in scope and riveting in detail... What he has provided us with is a systematic exploration of the role of mental acts, motives and intentions in virtually every aspect of Jewish law and life... A magnificent achievement, highly recommended."
–Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Sacks

The Search Committee: A Novel
by Marc Angel

"I have never read anything quite like The Search Committee, a fascinating novel by the Rabbi Emeritus of America's most distinguished Sephardic congregation. Through the story of two very different men, both vying to lead a prestigious Talmudic academy, the author leads us with breathtaking insight through the maze of religion and politics that is at the heart of the Orthodox Jewish world. This novel is a true contribution to Jewish-American literature."
–Naomi Ragen

"Be prepared for a deep, engaging and swift-moving reconnaissance of a slice of modern Judaism...."
-Rabbi Hillel Goldberg, Intermountain Jewish News

Quest for Authenticity
The Thought of Reb Simhah Bunim
by Rabbi Dr. Michael Rosen

"If anyone wants to know what has gone wrong with Orthodoxy today you only need to read “The Quest For Authenticity: The Thought of Reb Simcha Bunim” published by Urim. In it he describes the “court” of Peshischa in Poland under its leading eighteenth and nineteenth century charismatic leaders, Yehudi, Simcha Bunim and Menachem Mendel of Kotzk, charismatic, fiercely honest individuals who were opposed to conformity. Sadly the rest of the Hassidic world closed ranks against them. The movement was suppressed by the miracle working, rebbe worshipping, hereditary, reactionary, pseudo mystical Hassidism that now dominates much of Judaism. They didn't much like Simcha Bunim either because he had trained as a chemist, supported himself, had travelled, spoke many languages and, crime of crimes, wore normal western dress...."
–Rabbi Jeremy Rosen

-Rabbi Yehoshua Magnes

"Rabbi Morrison has done a remarkable job in presenting the teachings of Rav Kook – a giant of twentieth century Jewish thought – in a clear and approachable fashion."
-Rabbi David Samson
