    Chaim Gans's A Political Theory for the Jewish People examines the two dominant interpretations of Zionism, contrasts them with post-Zionist alternatives, and develops a third model. 
     
     
     
    Proprietary Zionism, Gans argues, is the version that is most popular among the Israeli Jewish public. It conceives of the land of Israel/historic Palestine as the property of the Jewish people. It also conceives of the entire Jewish people as belonging to Israel. Hierarchical Zionism is common among Israel's educated elites and interprets the Jewish right to self-determination as a right to hegemony within the Israeli state. It remains silent on the relationship between Israeli and non-Israeli Jews. Post-Zionist approaches, conversely, critique the rationale for the continued existence of the state of Israel as a Jewish state. 
     
     
     
    Gans disagrees with these approaches, and in their stead advocates egalitarian Zionism, which is based on an egalitarian interpretation of the right to national self-determination. As such, it interprets the historical link between the Jews and the land of Israel in terms of identity rather than property. Ultimately, the book argues that egalitarian Zionism is superior to its rivals both in the authenticity of its relationship to Jewish history and in its implications for denizens of Israel and Jews around the world.

    A River is Made is a true story of a life carried across borders, wars, and generations, told through the eyes of its author, Fazal Moneer Adil. From Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the UAE to the United States, it traces the journey of an Afghan refugee from war to belonging in America. 
    It is a powerful story spanning five decades of modern Afghan history, and personal sacrifice. Inspired by an Afghan proverb, "Qatra Qatra Darya Mesha"—drop by drop, a river is made, this book culminates in a father’s final, definitive act of generational love: securing for his children, especially his daughter, the priceless American gift of education, freedom, and a voice of their own. From his years as a child born in exile to his service as an interpreter for U.S. Special Operatives in Afghanistan, Fazal weaves a deeply human story of displacement, endurance, and hope. 
    The book also shares the deeply personal account of his son’s medical trauma, illuminating the universal struggle of families facing unimaginable choices while raising a child with special needs. Both intimate and sweeping, this story bridges the immense weight of historical conflict and the geopolitics of powerful nations with the personal struggle of one Afghan family. 
    A River Is Made is uniquely positioned for a broad and impact-driven readership seeking a powerful story of resilience, identity, and hope. 
    This moving audiobook runs approximately seven hours and includes a companion PDF featuring photographs and maps referenced throughout the story.

    What happens to a generation when their dreams of a decent, dignified life in their own home are shattered?

    But this isn’t just a story of loss. It’s about resilience, reinvention, and the determination to make a difference. While building new lives far from home, this generation holds onto one dream: to return, reclaim their homeland, and finish what they started. A powerful story of hope, perseverance, and the universal longing for belonging.

    The Morals of Diet - The First Step

    Leo Tolstoy

    Written in 1892, during the later years of his life, Leo Tolstoy’s The Morals of Diet reflects the profound spiritual transformation that reshaped his outlook after Anna Karenina and War and Peace. In the decades following his literary success, Tolstoy underwent a moral and religious awakening, renouncing wealth, privilege, and the comforts of aristocratic life. He sought a simpler, purer existence grounded in truth, humility, and nonviolence. This period gave rise to his moral essays — What I Believe, The Kingdom of God Is Within You, and The Morals of Diet (The First Step) — in which he strove to align daily actions with spiritual conscience. 
    The First Step emerges from this search for ethical coherence. Ostensibly an essay about vegetarianism, it is in fact a meditation on the nature of moral progress and the necessity of compassion. Tolstoy argues that abstaining from the killing of animals is the first, most tangible act of moral purification — “the first step” toward a life of genuine goodness. For him, cruelty, however subtle or socially accepted, degrades the human spirit. To refrain from violence, even in small forms, is to begin transforming one’s relationship to all living beings.
