Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "Rabbi Dr. Nathan Drazin was a born storyteller. In his synagogue, every Saturday evening, just before the end of the Sabbath, a huge crowd of people would sit down at a very long table for the traditional seudah shelishit meal. When they finished eating, Rabbi Dr. Drazin would tell them a story. This book, written in the 1940s and brought to the reading public now for the first time, records some of those enthralling stories of our ancestors, bringing Jewish lore alive in an animated recounting of the origin and lifetime of the father of the Jewish people. Children will enjoy these fascinating midrashic tales about Abrahams birth and miraculous upbringing, his struggle against the worship of idols, his survival of attempts to kill him, his dealings with his mother Amtaelai and his father Terah the seller of idols as well as the wicked King Nimrod, and much more."

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This book is a firsthand account of the 1976 hijacking of Air France Flight 139 and the subsequent Israeli rescue mission at Entebbe, Uganda. What makes it unique is that it is based on a diary kept during captivity by hostage Yehuda Gottlieb, rather than on memories recorded years later. His daughter, Ester Smith, translated and prepared the diary for publication nearly fifty years after the event.The HijackingOn June 27, 1976, terrorists hijacked the Air France flight shortly after it left Athens. Armed with rifles and grenades, they took control of the aircraft and eventually flew it to Entebbe Airport in Uganda. The passengers were forced to obey under constant threat of death.Life in CaptivityThe bulk of the book describes the eight days the hostages spent in the old Entebbe terminal. Gottlieb records:Overcrowded and unsanitary conditions.Constant fear and uncertainty about whether they would survive.The role of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, who presented himself as a mediator while cooperating with the hostage-takers.The psychological strain of isolation, rumors, and repeated terrorist demands.One of the most powerful themes is how ordinary people maintained dignity and mutual support under extreme stress. The hostages organized themselves, cared for one another, and tried to preserve order despite believing they might be killed.One thing that stands out from the manuscript is that it is less a military history of the raid and more a human story of what it felt like to be one of the hostages waiting, hour by hour, not knowing whether rescue or death would come first. Entebbe Diary of a Hostage is a firsthand account of the 1976 hijacking of Air France Flight 139 and the subsequent Israeli rescue mission at Entebbe, Uganda. What makes it unique is that it is based on a diary kept during captivity by hostage Yehuda Gottlieb, rather than on memories recorded years later.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This book reveals the secrets behind the entrepreneurship craze of Israel's young generation, the engine that's leading the innovation train. Readers go behind the scenes of Israeli success through the amazing story of Yariv Bash, Kfir Damari, and Yonatan Weintraub, the three youths behind Project Beresheet, the first Israeli spacecraft that went all the way to the moon. Ten years after the phenomenal sensation of Start-Up Nation, we decided to investigate the source of Israeli-Jewish achievement from a fresh viewpoint. For the first time ever, we explain how the chaotic, audacious cultural style that has given Israelis a bad name around the world has taken a surprising turn in recent years. Israels culture has become a significant component of the success of young entrepreneurs operating in a knowledge-rich environment. In this book, we open a window onto the mysteries of the Israeli-Jewish innovation greenhouse. We explain how the young generation in Israel is essentially continuing the epic journey begun by their biblical forefather Abraham. Generous helpings of chutzpah and the Jewish talent for endless argument enable Israel's youth to dare to dream big. Against almost all odds, they can fall down and get up again. They can fail and then start over from the beginning ('Beresheet' in Hebrew). The story of the Beresheet spacecraft and its three founders is a microcosm of the larger story of this pioneering generation of young, daring entrepreneurs of the State of Israel. In a broader prism, it represents the essence of this tiny nation. Since the day of its establishment, Israel has functioned within a state of chaos -- yet it continues to win. This is also the story of a people with unique social characteristics, which sanctifies military culture but refuses to accept authority. The Jewish nation is not afraid to take its complaints all the way up to the highest rank -- God himself, while carefully maintaining an ancient and profound relationship with the moon as one of His influential creations. This book also offers revealing insights into how the State of Israel integrates religious conservativism with groundbreaking technological creativity. As Israeli youth sing in the lyrics of a popular song, He who believes is not afraid. Readers will relish the intimate details given by young Israeli entrepreneurs and the viewpoints of veteran innovators, based on personal conversations with the authors and interviews they granted to Israeli public media. This book is also the first time that Yariv, Kfir, and Yonatan share their unbelievable personal story with the general public. Their journey begins with a funny Facebook post and takes us through the decision to send a spacecraft to the moon despite no previous knowledge or financial means. By the time we reach the tension-filled landing, the entire nation is moonstruck. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
