    We Jews wrongly believe we're immune to alcoholism and addiction—instead, individuals, families, and communities are suffering because of the stigmas surrounding addiction and recovery in the Jewish world. 
     
     
     
    "Is the 12 step program suitable for Jews? In this book Michael Levin shows with learning, sensitivity and wisdom why the answer is a resounding 'Yes.'" —Rabbi David Wolpe 
     
     
     
    "Shikkur is a goy." This Yiddish phrase means "Only Gentiles can be alcoholics," but it's not true. Jews suffer from alcoholism and addiction at the same rate as everyone else in society. Due to the stigma surrounding addiction in our community, people are dying unnecessarily . . . because they believe they can't get help. Jews and Booze attacks the stigmas surrounding addiction and recovery in our world.

    Discover a Better Standard of Excellence 
     
     
     
    You're not good enough. How many of us internalize this belief before we even reach adulthood? How many of us feel unworthy and unable to live up to what seem like impossible-yet-completely-arbitrary standards? Where do these toxic beliefs about ourselves come from? And who told us there is a way we are "supposed" to be anyway? 
     
     
     
    With passion and compassion, Caroline J. Sumlin reveals the force that keeps all of us, whether we are part of a marginalized group or not, from freely expressing who we are as image bearers of God: white supremacy culture. Sharing her own story, she helps you see the wide-ranging effects of living in a culture of white supremacy. She identifies the damaging beliefs we internalize from our very earliest days and shows us how to find clarity and freedom as we dismantle the oppressive structures that hem us in and force us to conform. 
     
     
     
    If you have struggled with perfectionism, self-doubt, unworthiness, or the unrelenting pressure to pursue someone else's version of "success," you will find here the tools you need to silence the voices that seek to keep you down and to value yourself as never before.

    A cancer surgeon and acclaimed academic turns the scalpel inward — exploring the systems that guide, limit, and often distance us from what truly matters. Beginning with stories from his childhood in a mountain village near the Black Sea, he traces the growing gap between ideals and reality — in healthcare, and in life. 
    In this powerful debut, personal memoir meets social reflection and existential questioning. With clarity and compassion, the author reveals what’s at risk when efficiency overrides human connection, and when authenticity is quietly replaced by conformity. His observations cut through assumptions, challenge deep-rooted beliefs, and question the roles we’re expected to play. 
    As the journey unfolds, the author introduces the Zigana model — a dynamic compass for those seeking to grow consciously and courageously, beyond boundaries and silence. 
    Cutting into the silence is literary non-fiction at its most vital — a call to rethink freedom, care, and meaning in a world shaped by invisible systems.

    This full-scale sequential reading of Thucydides' history of the Peloponnesian War will be invaluable to the specialist and also to those in search of an introduction and companion to the Histories. Moving beyond other studies by its focus on the reader's role in giving meaning to the text, it reveals Thucydides' use of objectivity not so much as a standard for the proper presentation of his subject matter as a method for communicating with his readers and involving them in the complexity and suffering of the Peloponnesian War. W. Robert Connor shows that as Thucydides' themes and ideas are reintroduced and developed, the initial reactions of the reader are challenged, subverted, and eventually made to contribute to a deeper understanding of the war.
