From a Rock Honey: Transforming Pain into Growth and Challenge into Destiny
by Yisroel RollTransforming Pain into Growth and Challenge into Destiny When the author, Yisroel Roll, was offered a partnership in his law firm in Toronto, he decided to take time off to learn in Eretz Yisrael, and learned in chaburos under Harav HaGaon Rav Moshe Shapiro, ztz'l. After a few years, when Yisroel Roll asked Rav Moshe whether he should return to law, or go into the Rabbinate, Rav Moshe answered: "I guarantee you that if you return to law you will earn and it is —ולא כדאי לך ; $250,000.00 per year not worth it for you. "The author took a position as the Rabbi of the New West End Synagogue under Dayan Ehrentreu of the London Beis Din. Rav Moshe later said to the author: "You had a personal techias hameisim in London, and you were mechayeh many people and institutions in England. "The journey from law to the Rabbinate, from the mundane to kedushah, and from challenge to destiny, is the theme of contrast, growth and transformation, explained in this sefer, Mitzur Dvash - From a Rock, Honey. Yisroel Roll presents some of the Torah contrasts and conflicts explained by his rebbe, Harav Hagaon Rav Moshe Shapiro, ztz'l, including chomer and tzurah, darkness and light, exile and redemption, and shows how we can learn the true meaning of yesodos in Torah by analyzing the contrast and clash of ideas and by seeking their resolution and common denominator. The goal of this sefer is to discover that the Sole Source of all contrasts is the Creator, and Only He Can Resolve all conflict and contradiction. When we work on finding the wholeness within a world of dualities, we will discover that only emunah is the pathway to Shleimus, understanding of the self, and your unique role in the world.

From Africa to America: Religion and Adaptation among Ghanaian Immigrants in New York (Religion, Race, and Ethnicity)
by Moses O. BineyUpon arrival in the United States, most African immigrants are immediately subsumed under the category "black." In the eyes of most Americans--and more so to American legal and social systems--African immigrants are indistinguishable from all others, such as those from the Caribbean whose skin color they share. Despite their growing presence in many cities and their active involvement in sectors of American economic, social, and cultural life, we know little about them.In From Africa to America, Moses O. Biney offers a rare full-scale look at an African immigrant congregation, the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in New York (PCGNY). Through personal stories, notes from participant observation, and interviews, Biney explores the complexities of the social, economic, and cultural adaptation of this group, the difficult moral choices they have to make in order to survive, and the tensions that exist within their faith community. Most notably, through his compelling research Biney shows that such congregations are more than mere "ethnic enclaves," or safe havens from American social and cultural values. Rather, they help maintain the essential balance between cultural acclimation and ethnic preservation needed for these new citizens to flourish.

From Anti-Judaism to Anti-Semitism
by Robert ChazanFrom its earliest days, Christianity has viewed Judaism and Jews ambiguously. Given its roots within the Jewish community of first-century Palestine, there was much in Judaism that demanded Church admiration and praise; however, as Jews continued to resist Christian truth, there was also much that had to be condemned. Major Christian thinkers of antiquity - while disparaging their Jewish contemporaries for rejecting Christian truth - depicted the Jewish past and future in balanced terms, identifying both positives and negatives. Beginning at the end of the first millennium, an increasingly large Jewish community started to coalesce across rapidly developing northern Europe, becoming the object of intense popular animosity and radically negative popular imagery. The portrayals of the broad trajectory of Jewish history offered by major medieval European intellectual leaders became increasingly negative as well. The popular animosity and the negative intellectual formulations were bequeathed to the modern West, which had tragic consequences in the twentieth century. In this book, Robert Chazan traces the path that began as anti-Judaism, evolved into heightened medieval hatred and fear of Jews, and culminated in modern anti-Semitism.
