Exploring Jewish History
and its Hidden Wisdom
by Rabbi Yonason Goldson
A comprehensive overview of Jewish
history from Briyas Ha’olam through
the redaction of the Talmud, ar-
ranged in a question-and-answer
format that presents not only the arc
and flow of events but also the hashkafic lessons of history
according to Chazal and classical commentaries. Devel-
oped as a yeshiva high school curriculum over 12 years,
this book spans the length and breadth of Jewish experi-
ence through the eras of Tanach, Bayis Sheini, the Ta-

ing episodes, offering profound insights, and showing the
relevance of Torah tradition to life in the modern world.

In Those Days
In This Time
by Etka Gitel Schwartz
The Syro-Greek occupation of Eretz
Yisrael in the days of the Chashmon-
aim is brought to life in this work of
historical fiction. A beautiful dramati-
zation of the spiritual trials and the
battles that faced our ancestors in those days. This is much
more than a short novel: each chapter has a Students’ Guide,
with questions for discussion, historical information and
much more. It can be a wonderful “Literature” choice for
General Studies programs, or the focus of pre-Chanukah
class discussion – or for all year round. Recommended for
Junior and Senior High, it will facilitate talmidim focusing on
some of the serious issues of hashkafa they face today.

The Chosen Path
by Rabbi Binyamin Sendler
With a shortage of good “historia” ma-
terials, this book is a very welcome
addition. The Chosen Path is a history
of medieval Jewry, designed for upper-
high-school level classrooms. Its focus
on primary sources invites the student
to consider the various communities,
their differences and similarities, within the context of their
times. The Torah leaders of those Jews, their challenges and
their triumphs, are highlighted in this scholarly volume. There
is also a teacher's companion available. Recommended for
Junior High – High School levels. Ideal for teaching Jewish
history as part of an overall, integrated history program. The
work has the approbation of Harav Shmuel Irons, shlita, Rosh
Kollel in Detroit.

Monsieur
Your may have already shown the latest DVD production by TU’s
Zechor Yemos Olam. If not, you will want to present it to your talmi-
dim/os at some other occasion. The title is “Monsieur,” which refers
to Rav Yonah Tiefenbrunner, z”l. “An inspiring story of courage,
mesiras nefesh and kiddush Hashem.” Monsieur traces, via a combi-
nation of real footage, interviews and a bit of dramatization, the
captivating story of how Rav Tiefenbrunner risked his life repeatedly
to care for the yesomim for whom he took charge. His venue was an
orphanage he established in Belgium during the years of the War.
The account traces the grave dangers facing both the children and
their benefactor… as well as a number of sudden relocations that
the orphanage was forced to undertake in order to keep from dan-
ger’s path. Indeed this was a goal only narrowly achieved on more
than one occasion. 48-minutes. Presentation includes commentary
by Rabbi Moshe Tuvia Lieff, Rov of Agudas Yisroel Bais Binyomin in
Brooklyn.
