Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long Island has one of the most vibrant and largest Jewish communities in the nation. After World War II, hundreds of thousands of Jewish soldiers returned from war looking for a life in the suburbs and synagogues to join, but the demand exceeded the supply. In 1946, Rabbi Elias Solomon called a meeting of Conservative rabbis from Manhattan to map out a plan to build a synagogue at ever South Shore Long Island Railroad stop, from Valley Stream to Patchogue. Central Synagogue of Nassau County and Beth El in Great Neck both grew to more than 1000 families as Reform Judaism took hold, and the growth of the Chabad movement in recent decades as spurred an increase of Orthodox Judaism. Author Ira Poliakoff catalogues the history of synagogues and congregations that have shaped Long Island's past and present.

Book excerpt: Since the 1930s, the communities of Hewlett, Woodmere, Cedarhurst, Lawrence, and Inwood have been known collectively as "the Five Towns." One of the oldest population centers on Long Island, the area attracted Victorian vacationers, many of whom returned and settled in lavish homes. During the Gilded Age, captains of industry, government, and finance came from the city to enjoy the Rockaway Hunting Club, Woodsburgh Pavilion, and the Holly Arms Hotel. The growth of the railroads created service industries and turned quiet fishing and farming villages into a suburban, commercial, and residential hub. A microcosm of the great metropolis to its west, the Five Towns strived to maintain their distinct characters despite the development and homogenization of the 20th century. In The Five Towns, vintage photographs from unique library and personal collections are brought together to recreate the rich history and charm of the Rockaway Peninsula.

Book excerpt: Three siblings, orphaned at a young age and raised by devoted and very religious foster parents, gravitate in adulthood to service in the Catholic Church. Reverend John McCord, a Franciscan priest teaching in Tokyo, falls in love with one of his students and applies to leave his order so he can marry. At the request of the Holy See, he travels to the Vatican with his siblings, Monsignor Jerome McCord and Sister Maria McCord, a St. Joseph nun, all to be interviewed at length about his request, an event that is taken with great offense by their vengeful Cardinal. Overnight, Monsignor Jerome McCord finds himself ejected from his comfortable life to play second in command in a New York parish beset with serious social and crime issues. Meanwhile, his sister, the nun, suffers a similar fate. As the three seek to find meaning in the life-altering changes confronting them, they accept that each has a divine mission, if only they can find it. Their ability to adapt, survive, and ultimately thrive in a changing world, including the 1962 historic, Catholic ecumenical Vatican II council, will keep readers turning the pages as each seeks to find their path and direction in each of their new lives.
