Zur-Glozman, Masha,


"After Idit, a literary translator, falls in love with Halimi, a magnetic and philandering magazine editor, she proposes an open marriage to try and save their relationship. The plan backfires terribly, so they leave Tel Aviv for the small seaside town of Atlit with their beloved daughter, Lily. One hot day while on a hike near the ruins of a Crusader fortress, Idit stumbles upon an ancient spring.

Idit has traveled to 1240, the year of one of the most successful crusades in history. The noble Sir Jean-with his chiseled face and amber eyes-becomes entranced by Idit, the exotic visitor from the future. As her relationship with Sir Jean deepens, Idit begins to regularly visit the distant past. Their delicate affair unfolds in parallel to the story of her relationship with Halimi. In the end, Idit must decide what love means to her"--

My year in Paris with Gertrude Stein : a fiction /

Levy, Deborah,


Our narrator has a lot going on. Her friend Evas cat is missing -- also, she wonders, where is Evas husband. Their other friend Fanny is barely around, and not because of her job in finance; she is tangled up with no less than three lovers. And Gertrude Stein is ruining the narrators life. She is trying to write an essay about Stein but it seems impossible. She knows too much and nothing at all about the leading avant-garde thinker of the early twentieth century. There are the facts: Gertrude Stein studied psychology at Harvard and medicine at Johns Hopkins, then quit; curated modern art in her rented apartment that would shake the world; wrote novels, plays, poetry, and libretti that are incoherent and brilliant; felt love at first sight for her daring wife, the subject of The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. But the narrator finds so much out of reach. How do we put ourselves together? What do we lose to become modern? What do we find beyond the limits of language? .

Human raised : nurturing connection, curiosity & lifelong learning in the age of AI /

Suskind, Dana,


The human edge -- Beautifully irrational -- Combating "never enough" parenting -- The social gate -- How parents build a child's brain -- Survival of the attached -- Missing ingredients -- The AI investigator -- Tech that talks back -- The end of "wait and see" -- Invisible burdens -- Robots in the classroom. In her book Thirty Million Words, Dr. Suskind revealed the power of parent talk and interaction in building children's brains. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence, the stakes of that nurturing interaction have become even clearer. New AI applications demonstrate what technology can replicate--but they also illuminate what it cannot: the capacity of human interaction to build not just children's skills but their very capacity for human connection. Human Raised reveals the possibilities and perils of using AI and related technologies for child-rearing. From monitors that decode cries, to smart cribs that soothe babies to sleep, to interactive chatbots designed to engage an inquisitive toddler, the parenting landscape is shifting fast--and Dr. Suskind helps parents navigate this uncharted territory with clarity and confidence. Readers will learn four guiding principles for raising children alongside AI: Human connection is irreplaceable ; Own your imperfections ; Protect the early years ; Enhance--don't replace--connection. Human Raised prepares parents to act as essential guardians to the gateway between AI and their children's developing minds--keeping human connection, in all its beautiful imperfection, at the center of childhood.

Long Island compromise : a novel /

Brodesser-Akner, Taffy,


"In 1983, a wealthy businessman named Carl Fletcher is kidnapped from his driveway in the nicest part of Long Island, brutalized, and held for ransom. He is returned to his wife and kids less than a week later, only slightly the worse for wear, and the family begins the hard work of trying to move on with their lives and resume their prized places in the saga of the American dream, coming to understand that though their money may have been what put them in danger, it is also what guaranteed them their safety in the end. But forty years later, when Carl's mother dies and the family comes home to mourn her, it becomes clear that nobody ever really got over anything. Carl's wife, Ruth, has spent her potential protecting her husband's emotional health. Their three grown children are each a mess: Nathan cannot seem to advance at his law firm and may have made a terrible investment with his trust fund; Beamer, a Hollywood screenwriter, will consume anything-substance, foodstuff, women-in order to numb his own perpetual terror; and Jenny has spent her life so bent on proving that she is not a product of the family's pathology that she comes to define it. Then there's Carl himself, the prickly, still-terrified father, who has been secretly seeking closure to the matter of his kidnapping for years, and the unthinkable act he commits that will alter the family's path forever"--

Crash of the heavens : the remarkable story of Hannah Senesh and the only military mission to rescue Europe's Jews during World War II /

Century, Douglas,


Maps on endpapers. In the years before World War II, thousands of young Jewish men and women escaped Europe, seeking safety in the British Mandate for Palestine. By 1942, horrifying reports began to spread about ghettos being liquidated, industrialized killing centers in Poland, and a chilling campaign to exterminate Europe's entire Jewish population. When it became clear that the Allies were unwilling to spare any forces from the war effort to save civilians, the Jewish community in Palestine came up with a daring plan. Working with British Military Intelligence, an elite unit of young Jewish paratroopers volunteered to return to Eastern Europe. Once behind enemy lines, they would use their expertise in the local languages and terrain to rescue thousands of downed Allied pilots and escaped POWs who were trapped with no way to communicate -- highly trained airmen desperately needed by the British and American air forces to fly more bombing missions. At the same time, these volunteer commandos would help Jewish civilians escape deportation to Auschwitz and other death camps or take up arms in resistance against the Nazis. Hannah Senesh was one of only three female paratroopers who risked everything to infiltrate occupied Europe. In 1939, at just eighteen years old, Hannah emigrated from Hungary to the British Mandate for Palestine, where she dreamed of being a poet and a schoolteacher. Instead, she became a poet and a paratrooper. Five years after fleeing Europe, Hannah parachuted back into occupied territory as a freedom fighter with the most crucial role in her team: the wireless operator tasked with sending and deciphering top-secret British radio codes. Though captured almost immediately after crossing the border into Hungary, she refused to give up her radio codes or any information about her mission, despite enduring months of horrific torture. Her final act of defiance -- choosing to die before a firing squad rather than beg for clemency -- cemented her legendary status as the "Jewish Joan of Arc." Hannah's legacy lives on today in the widely published diary she'd kept since age thirteen and in her poetry which has inspired generations. Each year on Holocaust Remembrance Day, a short poem Hannah composed on the shores of the Mediterranean in 1942 is sung at ceremonies around the world. Titled "Eli, Eli," or "My God, My God," it has become a modern hymn, taught in schools, sung in synagogues, and printed in thousands of prayerbooks.
