    The intersecting negative effects of structural racism, COVID-19, climate change, and chronic diseases disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities in the US and around the world.

  • Sacred Strategies

    Isa Aron, Steven M Cohen et al.BOOKSacred Strategies2010

    Sacred Strategies is about eight synagogues that reached out and helped people connect to Jewish life in a new way—congregations that had gone from commonplace to extraordinary. Over a period of two years, researchers Aron, Cohen, Hoffman, and Kelman interviewed 175 synagogue leaders and a selection of congregants (ranging from intensely committed to largely inactive). They found these congregations shared six traits: sacred purpose, holistic eth…

  • Covenant of Blood

    Naomi Steinberg, Lawrence A HoffmanARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1998

    Central to both biblical narrative and rabbinic commentary, circumcision has remained a defining rite of Jewish identity, a symbol so powerful that challenges to it have always been considered taboo.

    Lawrence A HoffmanARTICLEGeographical Journal1948

    With 18 per cent. of the world's population living on 3 per cent. of the world's land area, India1 is one of the earth's four major population concentrations, with an area and population equal to that of Europe (exclusive of the Soviet Union) or to that of agricultural China. It is as large in area as humid eastern United States, but has nearly four times the population. India's average density of some 250 people per square mile is only moderatel…
