clamored for her advice, doctors privately revealed
that her body was failing. Facing life's worst fears, Suzy
picked up her pen, called her colorful circle of friends
and charted a course through America's wealth of medical and spiritual
resources. The message in this warm and often funny memoir is universal:
We can find hope if we open our eyes to Godsigns all around us.

From the European countryside two
years before World War II to Paris to modern-day
Brooklyn, I Am Forbidden presents four generations
of one family. While one sister questions her
family's fundamentalist doctrine, the other truly
believes in her faith and the community in which
she lives. A buried family secret brings them back
together, forcing the sisters to come to terms with
their choices.

Very Near to You
History, romance, heroics, tragedy, great
literature, astonishing codes — it's all in the Torah.
The rabbis urged readers to"turn the Torah over and
over again;' because everything could be found in it.
Renowned relationship expert and director of a pioneering relationship
study, Dr. Orbuch is also known as "The Love Doctor!'
"Orbuch helps readers understand why men and women are hardwired for
conflict, why communication is important in every relationship, and why
committing to any change in one's daily routine for 21 days can help find
new love... A great starting place for anyone reentering the dating arena."

Now Israeli author Avraham Burg presents a new weekly
Torah commentary that considers contemporary issues
and morals. The result, says Hebrew Union College -
Jewish Institute of Religion President Rabbi David
Ellenson, is "a truly insightful, original volume" and a book Rabbi Amy
Eilberg, the first woman ordained a Conservative rabbi, calls "erudite,
compassionate and revolutionary."This is Torah for the 21st century,
addressing questions that meeker commentators fear to touch.
