Hope and Honor : Jewish Resistance during the Holocaust
A powerful account of Jewish resistence in Nazi-occupied Europe and why such resistance was so remarkable.Most popular accounts of the Holocaust typically cast Jewish victims as meek and ask, "Why didn't Jews resist?" But we know now that Jews did resist, staging armed uprisings in ghettos and camps throughout Nazi-occupied Europe.In Hope and Honor, Rachel L. Einwohner illustrates the dangers in attempting resistance under unimaginable conditions and shows how remarkable such resistance was.She draws on oral testimonies, published and unpublished diaries and memoirs, and other written materials produced both by survivors and those who perished to show how Jews living under Nazi occupation in the ghettos of Warsaw, Vilna, and Lódz reached decisions about resistance.Using methods of comparative-historical sociology, Einwohner shows that decisions about resistance rested on Jews' assessments of the threats facing them, and somewhat ironically, armed resistance took place only once activists reached the critical conclusion that they had no hope for survival.Rather than ask the typical question of why Jews generally didn't resist, this powerful account of Jewish resistance seeks to explain why they resisted at all when there was no hope for success, and they faced almost certain death.

Jewish Universalisms : Mendelssohn, Cohen, and Humanity’s Highest Good
An original and comprehensive comparison of the universalisms of two major modern Jewish philosophers. Any version of universalism relevant to a more attentive, pluralistic, and postcolonial outlook would balance the urgent current need for a universalistic perspective with the desire to maintain the richness of human diversity.The modern Jewish philosophers who sought to partake in the Enlightenment’s universalistic vision while maintaining their distinct identities as members of a religious minority within Europe offer insightful answers. Jewish Universalisms analyzes how two major figures, Moses Mendelssohn and Hermann Cohen, dealt with the perceived tension between the universal values characteristic of the Enlightenment and aspects of Judaism often depicted as particularistic and parochial.Jeremy Fogel joins this lively debate in modern Jewish philosophy, offering a comparative examination of these thinkers and analyzing their worldviews from an innovative axiological perspective.Fogel writes that to gain a precise understanding of how Mendelssohn and Cohen argued for the concordance of Judaism and universalism, one must first seek out what they delineated as ultimately valuable.Then one can work out how that highest good, and the method of valuation it sustains, are universal.

Is the grandson Jewish if the great-grandmother is Jewish?
According to traditional Jewish law, the status of being Jewish is passed down through the maternal line. If the great-grandmother is Jewish, then her daughter (the grandmother) would also be considered Jewish, and by extension, her grandson would also be considered Jewish. This is because Jewish identity is typically determined by the mother's Jewish status. However, it's important to note that different Jewish denominations may have varying interpretations of this rule.
