One of these was public school.
"Ln addition to regular studies,
there was the school choir and its
annual operatic concert — Car-
men, Faust, Martha — and even
the Christmas concert, for which
each class competed with its own
song."
He also found "socialist inter-
nationalism" compelling, though
he believes this actually increased
his interest in Jewish culture.
A journalist, Mr. Arnold uses
the term apikoros (heretic) to de-
scribe himself. He says he wrote
his book to "explain to my own
children and grandchildren how
I see my Jewishness and give
them an opportunity to think
about their own identity as Jews
in a reasonable way, without nec-
essarily becoming associated with
a synagogue."
Chapters focus on women, the
Holocaust and anti-Semitism.

Isaac Bashevis Singer has good and
bad luck.
of 1967, it is the story of the spir-
its of good and bad luck and the
wager they make.
Mazel and Shlimazel features
illustrations by Margot Zemach.
Also new for young readers is
A Thousand and One Chick-
ens (UAHC Press), by Seymour
Rossel, with illustrations by Vlad
Guzner.
The story begins in Chelm with
three sages who repeatedly utter
"Aha!" and ponder. "Such," the
author says, "were their voca-
tions."
So who could take care of such
men? Who could see to their an-
imals and wash their clothing and
care for their homes? The search
is about to begin.
Jane Breskin Zalben's Pearl
Plants a Tree (Simon & Schus-
ter) is a charming tale for Tu
B'Shevat.
As the story begins, Pearl the
sheep hears from her grandfather
how he planted a tree when he ar-
rived in America. She decides to
grow her own.
Pearl puts a seedling in a pot
and places it on her windowsill.
As it grows, she dreams of "flow-
ers and fruit that grew and grew
and became a forest of light and
air and leaves. Pearl would hide
and climb in the trees and roll on
the mossy hills below. Or some-
times she might read quietly."
When at last spring arrives,
Pearl and her grandfather take
the seedling out for planting.
"Someday maybe you'll bring your
children and their children under
this tree," Grandpa tells Pearl.
The book concludes with a de-
scription of Tu B'Shevat, as well
as information about how to grow
your own tree.
Tell It Like It Is: Tough
Choices for Today's Teens
(Ktav) by Ellen Frankel and
Sarah Levine, is the story of
Sarah Eisenberg, a 14-year-old
who moves to the city where she
discovers the challenges of being
"popular."
Eventually, though, she begins
to draw on st ✓ngth from her fam-
ily, on Jewish tradition and on her
own conscience as she learns
what it means to be a responsible
and strong human being. It is a
lesson that will guide her through
a challenging world of drugs, cru-
el teasing and friendship.
Ellen Frankel is editor-in-chief
of the Jewish Publication Society,
and Sarah Levine is an eighth-
grader in Philadelphia.
Another new book for teens is
Phyllis Karas' The Hate Crime
(Avon), the story of how a small
town deals with anti-Semitism.
The book focuses on Zack Stone,
whose father, the district attor-
ney, is asked to prosecute a teen
accused of scrawling anti-Semit-
ic graffiti at the local temple.
What he discovers about the crim-
inal and his crime will forever af-
fect Zack, as well as those around
him.
