Tales Out of Shul


Book Description

If there were a hall of fame of America's Orthodox rabbinate, Emanuel Feldman would be a charter member. Long before the word teshuvah became fashionable, he took a moribund congregation in Atlanta, turned it into a vibrant community, and led it for 40 years. In this poignant, delightful, provocative, uproarious, idealistic, uplifting journal, Rabbi Feldman takes us behind the pulpit as no one ever has before. Meet saints and scoundrels, righteous people and sinners, the movers and the meek. Tag along on countless everyday adventures. Taste sweet success and bitter failure. A marvelous book, by a heroic leader, graceful writer, and incisive thinker. Don't miss it! A Shaar Press Publication.




No Villain


Book Description

Over six days during the spring break of 1936 at the University of Michigan, a twenty-year-old college sophomore wrote his first play, NO VILLAIN. His aim was to win the prestigious Avery Hopwood award and, more importantly, the $250 prize he needed in order to return to college the following year. Miller won the award, but the play would remain buried until it received its world premiere nearly eighty years after it was written. NO VILLAIN tells the story of a garment industry strike that sets a son against his factory proprietor father. Here, Miller explores the Marxist theory that would see him hauled before the House Un-American Activities Committee years later. This remarkable debut play gives us a tantalising glimpse of Miller’s early life, the seeding of his political values, and the beginning of his extraordinary career.
