Fabulous Creatures from Hebraic Legend and LoreMark Podwal “A children's book for grown-ups, A Jewish Bestiary is modest in appearance, broad in learning and deep in subtle humor.”

Alexander Avram “Historical Implications of Jewish Surnames in the Old Kingdom of Romania represents an important contribution to the domains of onomastics and history. On the one hand, with scholarly rigor, the author analyzes Jewish Romanian–based and Romanianized surnames. On the other hand, the book is an exemplary study illustrating how onomastics can be used as a major tool to study the social history of a population group.”
—Alexander Beider, author of A Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names: Their Origins, Structure, Pronunciation, and Migrations

Ronny Reich and Eli Shukron “To put things simply, there is no way to decipher the history of Ancient Israel without the archaeology of Jerusalem, with no access to the Temple Mount, there is no way to understand the archaeology and history of Jerusalem without the City of David ridge, and there is no way to study the City of David without the results of the Reich/Shukron excavations. This volume is therefore a landmark in the archaeology of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.”
—Israel Finkelstein, Professor Emeritus, Tel Aviv University

Yael Halevi-Wise “The work of A. B. Yehoshua—one of Israel's most important writers since the 1960s—has long merited a full, book-length study in English. Yael Halevi-Wise's book has the virtue of broad scope, including commentary on a range of works from Yehoshua’s earliest writing up to his latest novel, from 2018. It offers an overview of his multilayered narrative techniques as well as chapters on a variety of themes and signature moves in his oeuvre.”—Naomi Sokoloff, author of Imagining the Child in Modern Jewish Fiction | | | |
Jonathan K. Crane and Emily Filler, editors The Journal of Jewish Ethics publishes outstanding scholarship in Jewish ethics, broadly conceived. It serves as a location for the exchange of ideas among those interested in understanding, articulating, and promoting descriptive and normative Jewish ethics. It aspires to advance dialogue between Jewish ethicists and ethicists working through other religious and secular traditions.
