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
