URJ Press's modern Jewish theological examinations are recommended picks for any in-depth Jewish collection: each book offers something different, from interpretation of theologies and songs to teaching music. For an overall reader on modern Jewish theologies, choose Rifat Sonsino's The Many Faces Of God: A Reader Of Modern Jewish Theologies (0807408549, $15.95): familiarity with Sonsino's prior Finding God will lend an appreciation and background to this sequel, which offers a blend of biographical insights on each thinker as well as an overview of approaches and a representative selection of texts and writings reflecting beliefs. Martin Buber, Harold Kushner, and others are brought together in a lively anthology edited by a Rabbit Emeritus and teacher. Leonard S. Kravitz and Kerry M. Olitzky's Shir Hashirim: A Modern Commentary On The Song Of Songs (0807409864, $14.95) provides a satisfying new Biblical translation of the Song of Songs in the Bible. Biblical scholars will appreciate this new translation of the Hebrew text, with each Hebrew verse paired with its corresponding English translation for maximum detail and comparison. Volume 1 of Nigun Anthology includes a cd with 56 songs and a foreword by Judah Cohen as it provides a strong anthology of Jewish melodies suitable for use as a songbook. This is the first comprehensive anthology of inspirational nigun melodies published, blending over fifty new and old nigunim and pairing words with arrangements for piano, voice and guitar. A specialty item recommended for Jewish musical libraries.
