A physician and historian of science and medicine at the National Institute of Health tells the hidden story of how plagues and pandemics shaped the history of the Jewish people. Plagues, pandemics, and infectious diseases have shaped the history of the Jewish people. Of course, there were the ten biblical plagues that famously smote the Egyptians--from the rain of frogs to the deaths of the firstborn--but that is just the start of the story. For the Talmudic Sages infectious diseases were part of the fundamental fabric of God's created world. In later times, however, disease was often thought to be caused by malign spells and incantations. A counter-magic developed to combat them. Amulets were deployed and miracle workers sought out. Surprisingly, Jeremy Brown shows, Jews sometimes even visited Christian shrines and beseeched the intervention of their saints. In 1348, when the Black Death swept through Europe, Jews fell victim both to the disease, for which they were blamed, and to the anti-Semitic violence that followed. At least 235 Jewish communities were persecuted even as Pope Clement IV ruled that anyone joining or authorizing the persecution would be excommunicated. In The Eleventh Plague, Brown investigates the relation between Judaism and infectious diseases throughout the ages, from premodern and early-modern plagues, to rabbinic responses to smallpox and cholera, to the special vulnerabilities Jewish immigrants faced in the US as result of prejudice, and to the curious practice of “Black Weddings” in which two orphans are married in a cemetery. Popularized during the 1918 influenza pandemic the practice was revived in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, showing that the intriguing relationship between Judaism and infectious disease remains relevant today.

In this ground-breaking study of the Jewish reception of the Copernican revolution, Jeremy Brown examines four hundred years of Jewish writings on the Copernican model. Brown shows the ways in which Jews ignored, rejected, or accepted the Copernican model, and the theological and societal underpinnings of their choices. Throughout New Heavens and a New Earth are deft historical studies of such colorful figures as Joseph Delmedigo, the first Jewish Copernican and a student of Galileo; Tuviah Cohen, who called Copernicus the "Son of Satan;" Zelig Slonimski, author of a collection of essays on Halley's Comet; and contemporary Jewish thinkers who use Einstein's Theory of Relativity to argue that the Earth does not actually revolve around the sun. Brown also provides insightful comparisons of concurrent Jewish and Christian writings on Copernicus, demonstrating that the Jewish reception of Copernicus was largely dependent on local factors and responses.

Bruder doesn't kill anyone unless he has to, but for some people he's willing to make an exception... When a past job comes back to haunt Bruder, a man he should have killed forces him to pull off what seems like a simple errand-steal an impounded yacht and deliver it to its owner in the Gulf of Mexico-but the heist quickly gets complicated when he finds out who the luxury craft belongs to and meets the ruthless crew he's supposed to run. On top of it all, Bruder doesn't know a damn thing about boats, or enjoy any time on them, and when he discovers the yacht is much more than just a floating status symbol, the stakes turn more dangerous than a shark in bloody water. But Bruder is dead set on pulling off the job and getting free of the man he should have killed, and this time around, he's not leaving any survivors in his wake. The Wake is the third book in the gritty Bruder Heist Novels. If you like professional hard case criminals with a relentless focus on pulling off the big heist and getting away with it, join the crew and buckle up.

Everybody knows: When you want to steal fourteen million dollars from a group of Romanian thugs, you go to Iowa. That's exactly what Bruder and his crew are going to do, and they figure the hardest part will be getting into the gang's armored car and grabbing the cash without getting shot. They're dead wrong. Because first they have to scout the job and get in tight with a local-somebody expendable who can give them the information they need. But when one of the men gets wrapped in so tight he starts popping loose ends, Bruder has to make a call: Who's more of a threat, the Romanians, or his own crew? He'll find out when the gang boxes Bruder and the others in, cutting off the few roads out of town and hunting-farm to farm, house to house, room to room. It's only a matter of time before the Romanians get their shot at vengeance on the crew. But shooting at Bruder hasn't worked out well for anybody...so far. The Box is the second book in the gritty Bruder Heist Novels. If you like professional hard case criminals with a relentless focus on pulling off the big heist and getting away with it, join the crew and buckle up.
