Repeated Games

By: Jean-François Mertens,Sylvain Sorin,Shmuel Zamir

Three leading experts have produced a landmark work based on a set of working papers published by the Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE) at the Université Catholique de Louvain in 1994 under the title 'Repeated Games', which holds almost mythic status among game theorists. Jean-François Mertens, Sylvain Sorin and Shmuel Zamir have significantly elevated the clarity and depth of presentation with many results presented at a level of generality that goes far beyond the original papers - many written by the authors themselves. Numerous results are new, and many classic results and examples are not to be found elsewhere. Most remain state of the art in the literature. This book is full of challenging and important problems that are set up as exercises, with detailed hints provided for their solutions. A new bibliography traces the development of the core concepts up to the present day.

From an Immigrant Association to a National Education Network

By: Tamar Horowitz,Shmuel Shamai,Zinaida Ilatov

This book traces the journey of the Mofet Association, an educational coalition established by teachers who immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union. Initially focused on children from the former Soviet Union, the Mofet Association went on to become an extensive network of schools serving a wide range of students, including non-immigrant Israelis, Arabs, and Druze in is Israel’s center and periphery. This book describes the step by step processes that Israeli public schools undergo in the course of adopting Mofet’s “imported pedadgogy.”

The Arab-Israeli Conflict Transformed

Fifty Years of Interstate and Ethnic Crises

By: Hemda Ben-Yehuda,Shmuel Sandler

The Middle East conflict, be it between the state of Israel and Arab states or between Jews and Palestinians, is a staple of international news. Utilizing both theoretical approaches and empirical evidence, Hemda Ben-Yehuda and Shmuel Sandler argue that despite the recent upswing in violence, particularly over the Palestinian issue, conflict has gradually been giving way, since the 1970s, to a more orderly regime of conflict management. By integrating ethnonational theoretical literature into their analysis, the authors move beyond the current International Relations debate over the relative merits of realist/neo-realist approaches versus neo-liberal-institutional approaches. Ethnic-state disputes are the primary source for failing to terminate the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The Journey to Your Ultimate Self

An Inspiring Gateway into Deeper Jewish Thought through the Lens of the Weekly Parashah

By: Rabbi Shmuel Reichman

Everyone will agree that a story needs an ending; unless a story goes somewhere, it’s pointless. The purpose of a set-up is to lead toward a conclusion, toward a destination. A story without an ending, without a purpose, is not a story worth telling. The same is true for our lives: we need a destination. We are all part of a larger story, but we’re also writing our own individual stories. Hashem created us in this world with unlimited potential, but that was only the “set-up” ― the beginning of our story. Without a purposeful destination, a clear goal, and a deeper understanding of who we are and who we are meant to be, the set-up lacks true meaning. We need to make this a meaningful journey ― a story of growth, creativity, and contribution. This book is written to help you along your personal journey, to help you become the ultimate version of yourself. As you learn through this sefer, plant the ideas within your mind and soul, and bring them to life. Make your life a meaningful journey, an extraordinary story.

Renewal

A Guide to the Values-Filled Life

By: Shmuel Boteach

Our culture is showing the cracks of a growing fracture. Soaring divorce rates; a crippled economy that rewards the few and punishes the many; religious-fueled hatred; record rates of depression—the headlines paint a grim picture. We inhabit a society that desperately needs fixing. But as Rabbi Shmuley Boteach reveals in his new book, Renewal, our society can made whole again when we as individuals make the choice to live a life based on values. For too long, conversations about values have been derailed by political movements trying to score points over hot-button issues like gay marriage or abortion. Boteach, one of our wisest and most respected counselors and spiritual experts, reaches deep into our history and into our shared religious legacy to revive the key universal values of Judaism for our struggling world. He presents these age-old ideas as guideposts for the challenges of modern times. These values, whose roots are in the Bible and thousands of years of Jewish spiritual living, can be applied to anyone in the modern world—from Christians and Muslims to atheists and agnostics—who want to renew their existence and recommit themselves to the most precious things in life. Renewal shows everyone how to use the timeless values of the Hebrew Bible and Judaism to live a more fulfilling, modern life. Destiny Unlike the Greeks, who believed that life was scripted from birth, the Jews believe in destiny. In short, they reject the idea of tragic fates and instead champion the individuals’ capacity to create their own destiny through individual choice. Redemption Christians and Muslims emphasize salvation, or the need for man to become spiritual—to refine his character and earn a place in heaven. But Jews believe in world redemption, the capacity for the individuals to make heaven here on earth for,the betterment of the community. Action What you do is more important than what you believe. Good deeds always supersede good dogma. Enlightenment Jews are an infinitely curious people and believe that the great bane of existence—boredom—can only be cured by knowledge. Marriage Marriage refers not just to the institution, but rather the softening of the masculine by exposure to the feminine. A culture that does not know how to respect women is bound to collapse. Struggle It is wrestling with our nature, rather than attaining perfection, that constitutes true righteousness. Everyone is somehow flawed, but righteousness is found in the struggle to do right amid a predilection to act selfishly. Sacred Time Whereas other religions sanctify space, Jewish values privilege special moments. The Sabbath day, the holiest day of the week, provides a time for connecting with family and friends.

Messages of the Chofetz Chaim

100 Stories and Parables

By: Marvin Bash

This fascinating translation of a heretofore unknown Yiddish work offers new insights into the ethical teachings of the great rabbi, The Chofetz Chaim. Originally compiled in Yiddish by Rabbi Shmuel Greiniman, this translation contains 100 intriguing stories and parables based upon the Chofetz Chaim's enduring Torah lessons and their application to modern Jewish life. Advanced Praise for Messages of the Chofetz Chaim "The Chofetz Chaim, one of our people's giants, is renowned for both his words and his deeds. One generation ago, both were made available in a book to the Yiddish speaking public. Due to Rabbi Dr. Marvin Bash's marvelous translation, the English speaking public of this generation can get to know and learn from a "giant" who was truly "a man for all seasons." -Rabbi Mitchell Wohlberg, Beth Tfiloh Congregation, Baltimore, MD. "Marvin Bash has made the stories of Rabbi Israel Meir Ha-Cohen Kagan (The Chofetz Chaim) available and accessible to those who do not understand Yiddish. In so doing, he has opened an important window into a life controlled by a powerful and all-encompassing faith in G-d that was committed to the best of the values of Judaism. This sage and his tales continue to inspire all who encounter them. Despite their setting in a world that is no more, their message is as timely today as it was when they were first told." -Rabbi Barry Freundel, Kesher Israel Congregation, Washington DC "At a time when there is great interest in spirituality, the translator-messenger, Rabbi Bash, has here faithfully transmitted moving examples of a unique, life-centered spirituality, as told by a traditional sage blessed with special sensitivities and ethical concern." -Dr. Max D. Ticktin, Professor of Jewish Studies and Yiddish Literature, George Washington University
