Old Shul - Poems

Pinny Bulman

Sinopse

he swam way out past the shadows cast / by the steel towers of the indifferent gray bridge / shielding the traffic flowing rhythmically back and / forth, far above the little dead lighthouse that stopped working long / ago when there was nothing left down there / that anyone still wanted to see.
 
Pinny Bulman's poems chronicle his coming of age as a young religious Jewish man against the backdrop of the Dominican and Puerto Rican culture in Washington Heights - two worlds that co-exist but rarely overlap. As he moves beyond the past while holding on to it, Bulman creates the presence of people, prayers, and places long gone, in the same way "time could turn loss into patina." Bulman's precise language allows him to conjure up poignant moments without running the risk of becoming overtly sentimental: but in the end when things melt / what we're left with are these carved out spaces / each with its own beauty of absence.

After unexpectedly doubling the size of their group and a brief detour to the ruins of the ancient elvish city of Karthani, things are finally back on track. As long as they keep following the road north, they’ll reach their destination in no time. The group just has to keep the stops they make and the trouble they cause to a minimum. Easy, right?
David's been doing great. He’s got Khazak, his team, and he's even been able to reconnect with his brother, Michael.

Mind To Think - How to Educate...

Jason Williams

Unlock the Power of Thinking: A Guide to Educating Minds for a Complex World 
In a world flooded with information but starved for meaning, Mind to Think offers a bold and urgent message: we must teach ourselves and our children not just what to think, but how to think. 
Blending the timeless wisdom of thinkers like Dewey and Socrates with modern approaches such as Philosophy for Children, Cooperative Learning, and Problem-Based Learning, this book is a practical and inspiring roadmap for educators, parents, and anyone invested in shaping minds that can reason, reflect, and respond creatively to the challenges of our age. 
Through engaging language and real-world insights, author Jason Williams invites readers to reimagine education as a transformative journey—one where dialogue replaces dogma, curiosity fuels learning, and critical thinking becomes the compass for navigating uncertainty. 
Whether you're a teacher, a student, or a leader seeking to spark real change, Mind to Think will equip you with the tools and vision to cultivate minds that not only absorb information but also actively shape a more thoughtful, democratic, and human future. 
This is not a book about education. It's a call to awaken the mind.
