Booklist (★ Starred Review)American Library AssociationIt’s just what we need.
Rebekah Lowin packs more knowledge, more fun, more creativity, more JOY into this beautifully Jewish book than I ever thought possible. And that’s exactly the point. With humor and humility, she’s able to coax moments of inspired cooking and crafting out of every week of in the calendar year, all while adding tenderness, depth and meaning to holidays and every day celebrations alike. A Year of Jewish Joy gives us even more reason to gather, fress, and obsess over the dazzling details of Jewish life . . . it’s just what we need! Now, let’s eat!
