As Veterans Day is Observed on November 11th
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LEADERSHIP & GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES IN THE U.S. ARMY RESERVE
Veterans Day is a day to set aside to honor all American veterans for their dedicated and loyal service to their country and to appreciate the sacrifices they made to keep our country free.
For generations, sons and daughters have followed in their relative’s footsteps, (whether it’s a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle) by wearing the nation’s uniform and serving in the U.S. military.
But what does it mean to be a Soldier for life? Whether you serve for one enlistment term or a twenty year career, we honor and thank each person for their role in serving the country. For each person who serves, they can recognize their contributions to our country. And that takes shape in a variety of ways. In the Army Reserve, for example, there are many opportunities for men and women to participate in military service across areas such as transportation, public affairs, military intelligence and more. One critical role is the Warrant Officer.
The Warrant Officers have technical expertise that enables the commander’s vision. Although they make up less than three percent of total Army strength, Warrant Officers are responsible for training Soldiers, organizing and advising on missions, and advancing within their career specialties. This is a critical position within all branches of the military—and especially within the Army Reserve—because the Warrant Officer is a steady presence with expert knowledge that helps the Army achieve its mission.

A NOVEL OF LOVE, THE TALMUD, AND SORCERY

editor — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:24:16 +0000

Rav Hisda’s Daughter Book I: Apprentice by Maggie Anton

Reader fascination with all things magical in modern literature continues—from the Harry Potter novels to most recently, Deborah Harkness’ A Discovery of Witches.   Modern witches may be fantastical, yet history reveals that in third-century Babylonia, in the land where the word “magic” originated, real-life enchantresses used incantations for everyday needs and desires. Novelist Maggie Anton, author of the acclaimed Rashi’s Daughters series, shares a young woman’s entry into this world of ancient sorcery in RAV HISDA’S DAUGHTER Book I: Apprentice (Plume Original; August 2012; $16.00)

As Rome battles Zoroastrian Persia for dominance, Babylonia is in conflict. Amid the turmoil, Talmudic sage Rav Hisda and his colleagues struggle to establish new Jewish traditions after the destruction of Jerusalem’s Holy Temple.   Hisdadukh, Rav Hisda’s beautiful and learned daughter, is coming of age.   As a child, when asked which of her father’s two best students—Rami or Abba—she wished to marry, she shockingly answered, “both.”   Precluded from Torah studies because of gender, Hisdadukh embarks on the torturous path to become a charasheta, or enchantress, under the tutelage of her brother’s wife Rahel.

Soon Hisdadukh marries the older Rami and is caught up in marriage and motherhood, although it is clear that Abba has not lost interest in her. When her newfound happiness is derailed by a series of tragedies, a grieving Hisdadukh must decide if her path lies in the way of sorcery, despite the peril.

With RAV HISDA’S DAUGHTER Book I: Apprentice, Anton brings ancient Babylonia to life from a woman’s perspective—weaving historical detail with complex characters for an engaging story of love and faith.
