  • Joshua Berman, "Echoes of Egypt: A Haggada" (Koren, 2026)

    Joshua Berman, "Echoes of Egypt: A Haggada" (Koren, 2026)
    Mar 9 2026
    “In every generation a person must see himself as if he himself came out of Egypt.” Mishna Pesachim 10:5 Now, Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman’s new work, The Echoes of Egypt Haggada (Koren, 2026), does just that. By incorporating the latest discoveries from archaeology, Near Eastern studies, Egyptology and more to connect the ancient world with modern scholarship, Berman’s Haggada helps this generation re-experience the exodus out of Egypt more deeply. Echoes of Egypt is a visually sumptuous journey that helps us grasp what our ancestors saw, felt, and resisted – and invites us to see ourselves in their story anew. Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman is a professor of Tanakh at Bar-Ilan University. A graduate of Princeton University and of Yeshivat Har Etzion, Rabbi Berman is the author of several books including Ani Maamin: Biblical Criticism, Historical Truth and the Thirteen Principles of Faith (Maggid 202), Created Equal: How the Bible Broke with Ancient Political Thought (Oxford, 2008), which was a National Jewish Book Award Finalist in Scholarship, and The Temple: Its Symbolism and Meaning Then and Now(Jason Aronson, 1995).

  • Vladka Meed's "On Both Sides of the Wall"

    Vladka Meed's "On Both Sides of the Wall"
    Mar 6 2026
    Vladka Meed, born Feigele Peltel, was just a teenager when the Germans invaded Poland in 1939. Increasingly devastated by the deportation and murder of 300,000 Jews—including her mother, brother, and sister—who were sent from Warsaw to the death camp of Treblinka, she heeded the call for armed resistance, joining the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB), established in Warsaw in July 1942. With her typically “Aryan” looks and fluency in Polish, Vladka could pose as a Gentile, so the ZOB asked her to live on the Aryan side of the wall and serve as a courier. In this role, she smuggled weapons across the wall, helped Jewish children escape from the ghetto, assisted Jews hiding in the city, and established contact with both Jews in the labor camps and with the partisans in the forest. In this newly revised translation of the original Yiddish memoir, which was published in 1948, Vladka’s son, Steven D. Meed, preserves the testimony and memory of his mother for a new generation of readers. Join YIVO for a discussion with Steven D. Meed about this translation, led by Samuel Kassow.
