Book excerpt: Some might expect from the title that this would be a book about Baptists, but instead it's the story of Jewish life in Memphis from the antebellum period through the 1960s, and of how and why Jews developed a respectful relationship with others in the heart of the Bible Belt. The Jews not only took care of their own, but also became contributors to their city by holding positions of municipal leadership, actively supporting Memphis' cultural and philanthropic activities, and supporting racial integration. As a historian and member of the Jewish community in Memphis, Lewis, U. of Vanderbilt and Memphis, was commissioned to write this history by the Jewish Historical Society of Memphis and the Mid-South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Memphis Jewish Community Center: Seventy Years of Jewish Connection is the history of a revered anchor institution, and it is also about remembering. After all, memory is more than tradition; it is the foundation of Judaism. Mentioned 169 times in the Torah, it is a religious imperative because remembrance is the vehicle for transmitting values and ethics, honoring those who have gone before us, and shaping what we are today and what we can be tomorrow. This book embraces both history and memory to share a story that began with teenage boys motivated by an audacious dream, which evolved into the institution that is a national model for what a Jewish community center should be. Today, looking at the bustling Memphis Jewish Community Center in Tennessee and the remarkable inventory of programs, it is hard to imagine a time when there was no place where every Jew had a place of connection to gather, exercise, play, learn, create new friendships, and build bridges across established divides.

Book excerpt: “The inside scoop on how marijuana landed on Main Street . . . and why it’s coming soon to a city near you.”—Katie Couric From gleaming dispensaries stocked with elegantly wrapped edibles to the array of CBD lotions and oils for sale at your local drugstore to tastemaker Martha Stewart cooking up marijuana munchies on prime-time television, one thing is clear: Pot has fully shed its stoner image. In this deeply reported journey into the new world of legal cannabis, award-winning reporter Heather Cabot takes readers on the road with Snoop Dogg and his business partner Ted Chung as they roll out the star’s own brand of bud; to California wine country, where chefs and vintners are ushering in a new age of elevated dining; on wild adventures with marijuana mogul Beth Stavola, for whom fending off shady characters is just another day at the office; and to rural Canada to meet the Willy Wonka of Weed. Drawing on exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in the world of cannabis, Cabot’s book explores the confluence of social, economic, and political forces that have brought marijuana into the mainstream. Among them, outrage over the racial injustice of U.S. drug laws, the booming self-care industry catering to stressed-out professionals and busy parents in search of better sleep and more sex, seniors clamoring for natural alternatives to opioids to manage their aches and pains, and tens of millions of investor dollars fueling a frenetic “green rush” mentality. The story of an astonishing rebranding, The New Chardonnay explores how a plant that was once the subject of multimillion-dollar public service announcements came to spark new culinary trends; inspire new uses for health, beauty, and wellness; and generate hundreds of thousands of jobs and untold tax revenue—all while remaining federally illegal in America.

Download or read book The Ladies Auxiliary A Novel written by Tova Mirvis and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable and assured debut, Tova Mirvis tells the story of the close-knit, carefully structured world of the Orthodox community in Memphis, Tennessee, a world that unravels when Batsheva, newly widowed and a convert to Judaism, and her five-year-old daughter, Ayala, move in. Batsheva is free-spirited and artistic, and at first the women of the ladies auxiliary discover in her a passion for the traditions and rituals of Judaism which have become stale and routine to them. But when Batsheva becomes close with the restless high-school girls she teaches who are eager to catch glimpses of the non-Kosher world outside, and befriends, maybe a little too intimately, the beloved Rabbi's only son, Yosef, feathers begin to ruffle. When events come to a head, and Batshevea's past is revealed, the women's allegiances begin to split over whether Batsheva should be forced out of the community. Batsheva is an unforgettable character, one who makes her claims on the reader's heart from the first page. The Ladies Auxiliary, beautifully and skillfully told, shows what happens when the outside world leans on a closed community so intent on keeping its children inside its tight walls that it cannot see it is losing them.
