Minor sticker adhesive on rear wrapper. 2015 Trade Paperback. ix, 117 pp. This book is about hope—hope for the human condition.

And they witness to common human longing for love, compassion, and justice rooted in a mysterious, yet benevolent, transcendent force—God, Yahweh, Allah, or Great Mystery. The author suggests that though thei...

Seller ID: 2203786

ISBN: 0002153238

Binding: Large Hardcover

Condition: Near Fine

Boards lightly bowed. Jacket bumped. 1989 Large Hardcover. 223 pp. A glossy, predictable paean to American Jewry by the producers of the Day in the Life series, this oversize collection of photographs traverses the country, capturing cowboys and Soviet Jewry activists, magicians and roving rabbis. The belabored point here is that Jews have special customs--circumcision, bar mitzvah, Passover seder--that set them apart, but Jews are also as American as apple pie. Hence, many of the 197 pictures, most of them color, reiterate that Jews are just regular folk: there are cozy multigenerational shot...
