Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “As impeccable as [the] title story is, every entry astonishes” (The New York Times), from the National Jewish Book Award-winning author of A Play for the End of the World "Whether in Brooklyn, Kolkata, upstate New York or elsewhere, these characters captured my heart and endure in my memory like loved ones.” —Mia Alvar, author of In the Country In the fourteen masterful stories that make up this collection, Jai Chakrabarti crosses continents and cultures to explore what it means to cultivate a family today, across borders, religions, and race. In the title story, a closeted gay man in 1980s Kolkata seeks to have a child with his lover’s wife. An Indian widow, engaged to a Jewish man, struggles to balance her cultural identity with the rituals and traditions of her newfound family. An American musician travels to see his guru for the final time—and makes a promise he cannot keep. A young woman from an Indian village arrives in Brooklyn to care for the toddler of a biracial couple. And a mystical agent is sent by a mother to solve her son’s domestic problems. Throughout, the characters’ most vulnerable desires shape life-altering decisions as they seek to balance their needs against those of the people they hold closest. The stories in A Small Sacrifice for an Enormous Happiness capture men and women struggling with transformation and familial bonds; they traverse the intersections of countries and cultures to illuminate what it means to love in uncertain times; and they showcase the skill of a storyteller who dazzles with the breadth of his vision.

Book excerpt: A sad but warm story of how tradition sustains values and can be a vitalizing force in contemporary life. Paulie Binder is a modern-day pilgrim of sorts, a young Reformed Jew whose roots lie buried, and seemingly withered, in the Yiddish sector of Brooklyn, which he had left in favor of the bohemian-fringe campus life of Cambridge. But when fulfillment eludes him, he returns to New York seeking inspiration from his grandfather, who tenaciously clings to the old, familiar, Orthodox ways of his homeland. Greenfield establishes a dialectical relationship between Paulie and his grandfather, emphasizing the shared sense of profound alienation from home and self. The temple stands at the center of this tale both as a social hub for the Jewish community and as a symbol of a quest for the sacred.

Download or read book A Problem Called Chavi written by Eva Vogiel and published by Feldheim Publishers. This book was released on 1985 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What happens when a big, new family moves into a small, quiet, respectable English town? A lot can happen, and when the Mendels moved into Newfield, most of it did! First of all, there was Yossi--impossible Yossi--the Mendel's youngest son who was always in trouble, infuriating the neighborhood over and over again. Then there was Mrs. Mendel whose husband worked out of town all week long. Left with a houseful of lively children, she was barely able to cope. And worst of all, there was fourteen-year-old Chavi. Surly, defiant and unfriendly, Chavi disliked everyone, and everyone disliked her in return. Even when the girls at Beis Leah Senior School started their Achdus Campaign--a project to promote friendship and good will throughout the community--Chavi refused to cooperate. Entrenched behind her self-made wall of hostility, she annoyed and upset everyone around her. Everyone, that is, except her next-door neighbor and classmate Shifra Perlstein. Not one to be put off by a difficult job, Shifra was determined to find a way into Chavi's heart. She stubbornly continued to blunder, uninvited, into Chavi's private world. Even though her friends laughed at her, and the reward for her efforts was usually a bristling 'Mind your own business!', she did not give up. Until one day, there was a frightening accident..." -- Publisher's description.
