L’Shana Tova! To celebrate the Jewish new year, which begins this evening, I have here a short collection of some wonderful Jewish stories that made me think, feel, laugh and cry. Some, like Inheritance, are about Jewish identity. Others are historical, like the powerful memoir The Redhead of Auschwitz. A few are novels with Jewish characters and traditions woven beautifully into the tapestry of the story, whether in the magic of The Matchmaker’s Gift, the drama of Florence Adler Swims Forever, or the comedy of Last Summer at the Golden Hotel and The Matzah Ball. All celebrate being Jewish in their own unique way! 🍎🍯 I never realized how many times I’ve made challah for these books, and while I usually chastise myself for a repeat, I’m actually excited to see this pattern here. I LOVE making homemade challah and it feels special to honor a book with one of my favorite projects in the kitchen. Did you know that on Rosh Hashanah, a round challah is served - instead of a traditional longer one - because the circle represents blessings and goodness without an end? 🍎🍯 Wishing you a healthy, happy and sweet year ahead! And ps: The Matchmaker’s Gift is now available on paperback! Treat yourself to this delightful book! 🍎🍯 # bookcooklook #bookcooklookproject
