Book Description
Winner of the Goldberg Family Foundation Award 2021 What is the meaning of the Jewish rites of initiation known as “bar and bat mitzvah” in the modern age, when the concept of “mitzvah” (religious precept or obligation) means so little to most Jewish adolescents? Hizky Shoham offers a comprehensive anthropological history of the bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies that seeks to understand why not only have these ceremonies been preserved, but are in fact celebrated by more Jewish families and demand greater financial, psychological, and family resources than ever before. The book maps and analyzes the transformation of the rituals in the modern age and endeavors to understand their meanings for the celebrants and other participants in the diverse historical contexts in which the ceremony appeared. Is it indeed a rite of initiation? The book breaks new ground by placing the rise of the bar and bat mitzvah in the context of the general rise during the modern industrial age of a new system of life-cycle rituals: rituals that mark the passing of time by latching on to its artificial, conventional milestones. The child’s 12th or 13th birthday functions as a temporal landmark in a personal biography that would otherwise move through homogeneous time.

Book Description
Resisting alien mind control just wouldn’t be Midwest Nice. As Gus and his pro-alien faction gain influence with the people of Lake Peculiar, some of the Titans’ mental powers are revealed, but their intentions remain veiled. In his bid to gain control of the town, Gus tries to convince everyone that the psionic gifts from the aliens really are gifts and won’t hurt the townspeople at all. Conspiracy theorist Ronan Keats thinks he may have found a way to sever people from the alien hive mind without destroying their minds or their lives, but in the process, he gets sucked into the hive mind himself. Meanwhile, Sam and Journey’s nascent Resistance fights the clock to find an antidote to the Titans’ psionic control. Can they save Ronan and the rest of the town before it’s too late? Fun With Mind Control is the second book in Jack Ravenhill’s new series, The Invasion of Lake Peculiar, a quirky take on the bestselling Invasion Universe. If you enjoy Garrison Keillor’s Tales from Lake Wobegon, you’ll love Lake Peculiar. Pick up your copy today!
