CANDLE #5:
FOR THE BUSINESSPERSON
There's no better source for both
practical and spiritual financial wis-
dom than the time-tested knowledge
found in the established principles of
Jewish tradition, according to Rabbi
Daniel Lapin, author of Thou Shall
Prosper: Ten Commandments for
Making Money (John Wiley & Sons;
$24.95).
The rabbi blends contemporary
business stories and his own business
experiences with the wisdom of Torah,
talmudic prescriptions and the Zohar
in exploring the economic and philo-
sophic vision of business that has been
part of the Jewish culture for cen-
turies. His "commandments" include
"Believe in the Dignity and Morality
of Business," "Do Not Pursue
Perfection "and "Never Retire," as well
as the notion that business is the best
way to "do good" while "doing well."
Rabbi Lapin, who is Orthodox, is an
adviser to President George W. Bush, a
syndicated radio talk-show host and
the author of America's Real War.
CANDLE #6:
FOR THE SILVER SCREEN FAN:
"A comedian is not a man who says
funny things. A comedian is one who
says things funny," the late, great
Jewish comedian Ed Wynn once said.
In Great Hollywood Wit (St. Martin's
Press $19.95), television personality
Gene Shalit gathers humor from his
more than 30 years in the entertain-
ment industry, bringing together zing-
ing lines from movie personas and the
stars who play them, as well as back-
stage humor and off-screen snipes.
"Gary Cooper and Greta Garbo are
the same person. After all, have you
ever seen them in a movie together?"
famed German-Jewish director Ernst
Lubitsch once noted. "I have my stan-
dards. They may be low, but I have
them," observed Bette Midler. "I'm
Jewish. I don't work out. If God had
intended me to bend over, he'd have
put diamonds on the floor," quipped
comedienne Joan Rivers. And when
Albert Einstein, whose theory of rela-
tivity was known by many but under-
stood by few, visited a lavish
Hollywood party, movie mogul Jack
Warner told him, "I have my own the-
ory of relatives. Don't hire 'em."
Film critic Shalit, a regular contribu-
tor to NBC's Today show for the past
19 years, lives in Massachusetts.
CANDLE #7:
FOR THE BIG APPLE BUFF:
Anyone who has ever taken a walk
in New York's Central Park will enjoy
212 Views of Central Park:
Experiencing New York City's Jewel
From Every Angle (Stewart Tabori
Chang; $35). Photographs by Mick
Hales and text by Sandee Brawarsky,
who provides essays to accompany
each of the book's eight sections, tell
the story of this 843-acre, 150-year-
old urban oasis.
Hales' glossy color photographs
encompass every season and sights
both familiar and less well known —
from the Belevedere Castle, Loeb
Boathouse and Carousel to the Chess
and Checkers House, Wollman Rink
and Strawberry Fields memorial to
John Lennon. As revealed in these
splendid photographs, no two bridges
or arches are alike.
As • Brawarsky, whose book reviews
frequently appear in the Detroit Jewish
News, writes: "Enter Central Park and
everything changes. ... The light is
almost tangible, whether bouncing off
the mica-laced rocks, shining through
lush foliage or illuminating bare-
branch silhouettes. ... The Park is a
pause in a city defined by its hectic
motion and nonstop beat; it a whisper
to Manhattan's roar."

CANDLE #8:
FOR THE ART AFICIONADO:
In Painted in Words (Indiana
University Press; $40), renowned artist
Samuel Bak set aside his brushes to
write a memoir of his life, as a child in
Nazi-occupied Vilna, as a youth in
European refugee camps and as a
maturing artist in Israel, France, Italy,
and the U.S., where he now lives.
The stories Bak tells are in no par-
ticular order, nor do they unfold
chronologically. "To me," he writes,
"the stories are like pictures painted at
different times, sometimes over a span
of many years, self-contained units
enriched by the connections that bind
them together. The book is illustrated
with black and white photographs and
color reproductions of Bak's most
important works.
The Israeli novelist and social critic
Amos Oz writes in the book's fore-
word: "I regard Samuel Bak as one of
the great painters of the 20th century.
There are few artists who have so suc-
cessfully represented the mad cruelty
of our era — its horrors, its desola-
tion, its sadness and vacuity. And
fewer still are the artists who have cre-
ated their own unique personal lan-
guage. In Bak's world, horror, humor
and dreams all solidify into one
radioactive mass."
