Out-of-Print Slifkin Books

I've been contacted by many people asking how to buy the two banned books by Rabbi Slifkin that are out-of-print, Mysterious Creatures and The Camel, the Hare, & the Hyrax.

I saw them available on the website of Levine Judaica and have confirmed that the store still has copies in stock, at regular prices! This link to a search should work.

Levine Judaica has been serving Manhattan's Judaica needs for over 100 years, now with its fifth generation descendant working in the store.

The Launch of The Challenge of Creation

Last night we had the launch of Rabbi Natan Slifkin's new book The Challenge of Creation. Turnout was great. Excitement was high. And the book just looks fantastic.

A few blogs have already covered the event:

Wolfish Musings
Jew School (what, you don't come over and say hello?)
Canonist
Serandez

Below are some pictures. Remember, Rabbi Slifkin will be speaking tonight at the Young Israel of Teaneck at 8:45pm. Be there, or else. As promised, I will be posting the text of my speech. Just not right now.
