Nilla, a sixteen-year-old German girl, finds refuge from the tumult and influence of the rising Nazi regime by entering the Dominican Order of the Poor School Sisters. But her life quickly turns her away from solitude and solace toward a remarkable journey that changes her forever. Nilla's story is a coming of age tale in a foreign land where nature and humanity show their most bitter faces. She encounters hardship, prejudice, and injustice, but also forges an enduring friendship with Tanik, a young Indian woman. The ensuing cultural frictions force Nilla to confront relentless questions as the lines between right and wrong are persistently blurred. Nowhere can she find answers; not even God seems to offer a clear path. But as Nilla faces her world, she discovers strength and value within herself and her religion. She learns to separate the light and darkness in the souls around her.

The Independent Orders of B'nai B'rith and True Sisters available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Explores the roles of the two oldest American Jewish fraternal organizations in the process of American Jewish identity formation. Founded in New York City in 1843 by immigrants from German or German-speaking territories in Central Europe, the Independent Order of B’nai B’rith sought to integrate Jewish identity with the public and civil sphere in America. In The Independent Orders of B’nai B’rith and True Sisters: Pioneers of a New Jewish Identity, 1843–1914, author Cornelia Wilhelm examines B’nai B’rith, and the closely linked Independent Order of True Sisters, to find their larger German Jewish social and intellectual context and explore their ambitions of building a "civil Judaism" outside the synagogue in America. Wilhelm details the founding, growth, and evolution of both organizations as fraternal orders and examines how they served as a civil platform for Jews to reinvent, stage, and voice themselves as American citizens. Wilhelm discusses many of the challenges the B’nai B’rith faced, including the growth of competing organizations, the need for a democratic ethnic representation, the difficulties of keeping its core values and solidarity alive in a growing and increasingly incoherent mass organization, and the iconization of the Order as an exclusionary "German Jewish elite." Wilhelm’s study offers new insights into B’nai B’rith’s important community work, including its contribution to organizing and financing a nationwide hospital and orphanage system, its life insurance, its relationships with new immigrants, and its efforts to reach out locally with branches on the Lower East Side. Based on extensive archival research, Wilhelm’s study demonstrates the central place of B’nai B’rith in the formation and propagation of a uniquely American Jewish identity. The Independent Orders of B’nai B’rith and True Sisters will interest all scholars of Jewish history, B’nai B’rith and True Sisters members, and readers interested in American history.
