  In 1620, a group of English families, known now as the Pilgrims, were carried from England to the New World on the Mayflower. When the Mayflower finally showed up in America on November twenty-first, 1620, it had 102 guests and a team of around 30 on board and was anchored off Cape Cod. 
  The Pilgrims, as opposed to their Puritan coworkers, chose to break away from the Church of England because of its Roman Catholic heritage and the church's hesitation to reform, requiring them to pray in personal instead of in the church. In 1608, a group of English families left England for the Netherlands, where they could practice their faith without fear of persecution. As early as 1620, the Plymouth Group population had determined to cross the Atlantic to the New World, which they viewed as a "new Promised Land." 
  Due to hold-ups and challenges, the Pilgrims were only able to take one ship, the Mayflower, to reach America in early October. It was a pretty hard winter season when they showed up in November, and they were unprepared. Consequently, hardly half of the original Pilgrims made it through the first winter season at Plymouth, Massachusetts. All of the settlers may have died if near Native tribes had not taught them how to collect food and other survival methods. On that first fall harvest, they gathered with Native Americans to celebrate what would end up being referred to as the first Thanksgiving in America.

  The relationship between the world’s two largest Jewish tribes (in Israel and the United States) is consequential for Jews and for Judaism, but it provides important insights also for Christians – about Jews, Judaism, and Israel, and about America and Christianity. The cultural, sociological, political, and even religious differences that separate Israeli and American Jews highlight the essence of historic and contemporary Judaism. Christian revival always pointed to the Jewish roots of Christianity and of the Christian Bible. Indeed, by gaining a better understanding of Judaism, Christians gain a bette understanding of their own faith and of America’s Judeo-Christian values. 
  This book answers the following questions: 
  -Is Judaism a religion or a nation? 
  -Why are American Jews ambivalent about Israel, whereas Christians support Israel without hesitation? 
  -Why are American Jews losing touch with Judaism, whereas Christians are connecting with their own Jewish roots? 
  -Why are most American Jews liberal-Democrats, whereas most Israelis are conservative? 
  -Why is antisemitism flourishing on the left? 
  -Why is American Jewry demographically stagnant, while Israeli Jewry grows by leaps and bounds? 
  -What is the future of American Jewry and its relationship with Israel?

  Written by Richard Bustin, What are we Teaching?Powerful knowledge and a capabilities curriculum offers a fresh perspective on curriculum design, arguing that subjects are key to enabling young people to develop the powerful knowledge needed to flourish in a complex modern world. Moving ideas beyond the 'traditional vs progressive' debates that have dominated education discourse, Richard Bustin challenges the overarching emphasis on exam performance at the expense of the broader benefits of subject knowledge and capabilities such as critical and creative thinking.
  What are we Teaching? explores curriculum debates in relation to the current school climate, considering factors such as knowledge-led education, teaching to the test, and the challenge of teacher retention and recruitment issues. It includes new research involving teachers in real schools engaging with powerful knowledge, and it prompts teachers to evaluate their responsibilities as 'curriculum makers'. The book invites teachers to consider why their subject specialism is important as part of a whole school curriculum vision, and a provides language with which to articulate that.
  Part One introduces the key theories on which the book is based, including different ways of making sense of knowledge, skills and values in the curriculum, powerful knowledge and educational capabilities. What are we Teaching?is research-based, using voices of real teachers who engaged with the question 'what makes your subject powerful knowledge for young people', and Part Two, which focuses on different subject areas, examines these testimonies. The final part offers advice on building a powerful knowledge and capabilities rich curriculum in schools. Each chapter includes a set of reflective questions which can be used as part of ITE training or staff CPD.
  Essential reading for teachers, senior and subject leaders and curriculum coordinators.

  In "The Roman Empire the Empire of the Edomite," William Beeston throws a curveball at history, proposing a bold connection between the mighty Romans and the ancient Edomites of Jordan. Published in 1853, this controversial book dives deep into both groups' history and culture, searching for evidence of a shared ancestry. Beeston links similarities in language, customs, and even religion to paint a picture of the Romans as descendants of the Edomites. While mainstream historians largely reject his arguments due to lack of concrete proof, the book remains a fascinating exploration of these intertwined civilizations, offering a unique perspective on their origins and interactions.
