A short, fun video: Five Common Historical Misconceptions Explained

Don't you Remember,
The Fifth of November,
'Twas Gunpowder Treason Day,
I let off my gun,
And made'em all run.
And Stole all their Bonfire away!

Last month, I gave two decently attended lectures based upon my graduate work.  I would like to transform my research into a book.  However, I don't want to root myself in academia.  Can anyone recommend good popular publishers to whom I I could submit a book proposal?

Did the holocaust revisionist get booted? Or just delete his own thread?

Rabbi--

 

Congratulations on your latest publication!

B'H

I have just published a book in the category of Historical fiction that I think would be interesting for people who like short stories, the west, learning about other cultures, Jewish holidays and life and the way it should have been.

 

I would so love for some guys from this exclusive club to read it and share what you think with me.  It would help me a lot.

You can get it here

http://www.amazon.com/The-Light-Giver-Adventures-Hasidic/dp/0615611...

Here is what others have said about it:

 

 "What fun it is to follow Reb Bahir's rabbi-hero on his journey through the Wild West and the Jewish calendar. A wonderful read, it sneaks in solid teaching wrapped in a rollicking tale." — Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, founder of the Jewish Renewal Movement

 

"Jewish mystical stories were born at the strange, hazy crossroads between uncommon wisdom and common sense. The Light Giver hearkens back to the time when rabbis didn't lecture from podiums and write blog posts from iPads, but went on adventures into the wild, befriending runaway slaves and dodging Injun arrows, throwing themselves into the wide world because G-d created it all. Written in the fine tradition of Reb Shmuel Munkes and The Frisco Kid, the stories in this book are funny, sad, innocent and world-weary, and truly, truly wise." --- Matthue Roth, author of Yom Kippur A Go-Go: A Memoir "At once funny, touching, and profound,

 

The Light Giver takes us on a journey through the Jewish calendar, the Jewish spirit and into the Jewish soul. Rabbi Davis is by no means conventional, and this book is unlike any other. Within it there are sparks of Divinity waiting for us to unearth. This book is a delight to read and learn from." --- Mayim Bialik, actress and author of Beyond the Sling

 

Many thanks

*It's the birthday of Stephen Crane (1871-1900), an American novelist, short story writer, poet and journalist. Prolific in his short career, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation and is perhaps best known for his story The Red Badge of Courage, which he wrote as "a psychological portrayal of fear" in 1894.

*The modern celebration of Halloween - complete with costumes, trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, haunted attractions, scary stories, bobbing for apples, and carved Jack O’ Lanterns - has a long history, dating back to the early Middle Ages. The holiday’s origins in pagan or Christian celebrations remain disputed among popular and scholarly commentators, and practices from both traditions can be seen in the modern incarnation of Halloween.

*It's the birthday of Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536), a Catholic priest, theologian, and philosopher, given the sometimes earnest title "Prince of the Christian Humanists". Erasmus stands as an example of cultivated theological common sense applied to human affairs, believed to have rescued theology from high minded religious scholars, exposed the abuses of the Church, and did much in the way of advancement of the humanistic revival of classical learning during the Renaissance.

25 October 1854: The Charge of the Light Brigade, a British military cavalry unit, took place during the Crimean War (1853-1856). The British were winning the Battle of Balaclava when Lord Cardigan received an order to attack the Russians and led his troops into a valley, an attempt that would prove a much more difficult objective than intended. Blame for the action has remained controversial, citing confusion and ambiguity. The charge produced no decisive gains and resulted in a terrible and costly loss. Narrative poems about the deadly action were written by Tennyson and Kipling, each respectively penning a position and admonishment.
