William Braude is amazing. His Tana Deve eliyahu in english is incredible. I picked up 1 of 2 volumes of his pesikta rabbati in english, need to locate his medrash tehillim in english

Littman library of jewish civilization is a gold mine

Years ago, likely after too much wine, I wrote here on DDFB how we need more jewish books. Crazy how I grew up and loved marcus lehman but never heard of cecil roth http://www.oxfordchabad.org/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/457404/jewish/Cecil-Roth.htm

According to this, he was an observant jew... so because it was JPS published it was never made mainstream?

I dropped out of school at 15.



To me it sounds like you're one of those who stayed in college 10-20 years too long...

how about menachem kellner ?
This blog is focused on Slifkin, but a lot of this is relevant to Kellner:
