    Paperback. Condition: Good. Why You?re Still Single is not about chasing men, so you will not need a butterfly net. It is not about making them chase you, because they are not wolves and you are not a bunny. Relationship experts Evan Marc Katz and Linda Holmes do not suggest that you treat men like hostile alien presences, pretend you don?t understand football, buy padded bras, or refuse to call people back. But the benefit of other people?s experience might point out a few things that are tripping you up, no matter how much of an amazing, smart, hot, totally worthwhile ass-kicker you may be as a general rule.They recommend: Honesty (usually), playing fair, shutting up (sometimes), speaking up (other times), respecting that voice in your head that says "You?re doing WHAT?", making compromises, knowing when to cut bait, good sex, giving yourself a break, being needlessly generous, and periodically leaving your apartment.They don?t recommend: Pretending to like what you don?t like, treating winking and giggling like a Get Out Of Jail Free card, testing people, stubbornness, martyrdom, talking everything to death, and convincing yourself that you?re desperate.…

    Paperback. Condition: Good. Finalist for the 2025 PROSE Award in Humanities: Theology and Religious Studies Some two thousand years ago, as the story goes, a rabbi named Yochanan makes the epitome of pragmatic gambles-wagering the entire fate of the Jewish people. In dialogue with the soon-to-be Roman emperor Vespasian, Yochanan tacitly acknowledges the Romans? planned destruction of Jerusalem in return for a plot of land in a town called Yavneh. There, after the razing of Jerusalem, Jews will join with their teacher to reenvision a new Judaism-one not based on Temple rites but on real life in exile-laying the groundwork for today?s vibrant Judaism. In Rabbi Marc Katz?s novel examination, pragmatism is itself an authentic Jewish strategy for addressing moral questions. The rabbis of the Talmud model the process by demonstrating how to think situationally, weigh competing values, and make hard compromises. Leading rabbis ask, ?What will work?? alongside ?What is right?? They birth a malleable and nuanced system of law (halakhah) that is faithful to their received tradition and to the people and circumstances before them. By investigating how the rabbis navigate their own ethical challenges-determining truth, upholding compromise, convincing others, keeping peace with neighbors, avoiding infighting, weighing sinning in hopes of promoting a greater good-Yochanan?s Gamble forges a new Jewish path forward for resolving moral conundrums in our day.…

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Finalist for the 2025 PROSE Award in Humanities: Theology and Religious Studies Some two thousand years ago, as the story goes, a rabbi named Yochanan makes the epitome of pragmatic gambles-wagering the entire fate of the Jewish people. In dialogue with the soon-to-be Roman emperor Vespasian, Yochanan tacitly acknowledges the Romans? planned destruction of Jerusalem in return for a plot of land in a town called Yavneh. There, after the razing of Jerusalem, Jews will join with their teacher to reenvision a new Judaism-one not based on Temple rites but on real life in exile-laying the groundwork for today?s vibrant Judaism. In Rabbi Marc Katz?s novel examination, pragmatism is itself an authentic Jewish strategy for addressing moral questions. The rabbis of the Talmud model the process by demonstrating how to think situationally, weigh competing values, and make hard compromises. Leading rabbis ask, ?What will work?? alongside ?What is right?? They birth a malleable and nuanced system of law (halakhah) that is faithful to their received tradition and to the people and circumstances before them. By investigating how the rabbis navigate their own ethical challenges-determining truth, upholding compromise, convincing others, keeping peace with neighbors, avoiding infighting, weighing sinning in hopes of promoting a greater good-Yochanan?s Gamble forges a new Jewish path forward for resolving moral conundrums in our day.…
