Our Inspiration:

This story was inspired by my daughter and her very vivid imagination. All of the illustrations are her original drawings. As in the book Charlottes Web, this story also features several savvy characters that form camaraderie to save the lives of their friends. Among these is twelve-year-old Crazi Boui Palmer (aka CB) who is very determined to free his town from an evil spell. Actually, the overall plot of the story is similar to the all-time favorite cartoon, Super Friends, in that no matter how evil the villain, the FRIENDS always unite and conquer. It is action-packed from beginning to end! Its a great read for all ages!

About the book:

Redemption: Saving Our Town is set as a riveting, modern-day chain of events. Its tone highlights the existence of stolen morality. If he is going to reverse the curse of illogical mindsets among his fellow townspeople, then CB Palmer needs to cleverly evolve a plan, immediately! A plan to correct warped ways of thinking, that is.

You see, CB, along with a few other townspeople, managed to escape the mind-altering, invisible gas invented by Mr. Smoke Choo (the evil Chemist). With grave perseverance CB, Officer Man Mouse (the town cop), and Call~a~doo~dee~Girl (a special friend) lead the others in a daring escapade! The intent is to counteract Mr. Choos wicked scheme to corrupt their thought patterns and violate their life-standards.

First, Officer Mouse discovers something extremely interesting. Then, he calls for a secret meeting. Sure enough, after sharing details from his investigation, they manage to unfold Mr. Choos conspiracy. Unknowingly, their source of rescue just happens to be something they all have in common: Eggs!!!

Let the brainstorming begin, stated CB.

Peoplehood—everyone's talking about it. But what does it actually mean and why is it important to the future of Judaism?

"Why is this conversation important? Why does it merit your attention? If you care about Jewish identity and community, then you know that we have no trouble identifying the problems that fragmentize us as a people but have far less success identifying that which unites us. Without a unifying, collective notion of Jewish identity that is meaningful and robust, it is virtually impossible to make a strong case for Jewish continuity."—from the Introduction

This call to Jewish community explores the purpose, possibilities and limitations of peoplehood as a unifying concept of community for a people struggling profoundly with Jewish identity. It defines what peoplehood is—and is not—and explores both collective and personal Jewish identity and the nature of identity construction.

Drawing on history, sacred texts and contemporary scholarship, The Case for Jewish Peoplehood identifies some of the obstacles that challenge a shared notion of peoplehood: personal choices, construct of membership and boundaries, growth of Jewish illiteracy, identity fragmentation between Israeli and Diaspora Jewry and the generational divide affecting traditionalists, baby boomers and generations X and Y.

To help you join the conversation, the authors support a vision for the future and provide practical guidance and recommendations for getting there.
