| From the viral social media account @oldjewishmen comes a hilarious and irresistible guide and perfect gift for every OJM and the people who put up with him. | An inspirational, visual collection of 300 Jewish stories, curated by the editor and founder of the popular social media brand @humansofjudaism. | Forget Yiddish. Real Jewish is a secret language of nuance, argument, and somersaults of everyday speech; of wins, losses, and draws in competitions you had no idea you'd entered. | Deeply knowing, highly entertaining, and just a little bit irreverent, this unputdownable encyclopedia of all things Jewish and Jew-ish covers culture, religion, history, habits, language, and more. | 54 leading young Jewish writers and artists grappling with the first five books of the Bible and giving new meaning to the 54 Torah portions that are traditionally read over the course of a year. |

| Both proudly traditional and blazingly modern, it is a perfect blueprint for remembering the past, living in our present, and imagining the future. | Tablet’s list of the 100 most Jewish foods is not about the most popular Jewish foods, or the tastiest, or even the most enduring. It’s a list of the most significant foods culturally and historically to the Jewish people. | With Shuk, home cooks everywhere can now inhale the fragrances and taste the flavors of the vivacious culinary mash-up that is today’s Israel. | Israeli baking encompasses the influences of so many regions—Morocco, Yemen, Germany, and Georgia, to name a few—and master baker Uri Scheft seamlessly marries all of these in his incredible baked goods. | Einat Admony is a 21st-century balaboosta (Yiddish for “perfect housewife”). Her debut cookbook features 140 of the recipes she cooks for the people she loves ―her children, her husband, and the many friends she regularly entertains. | In The Jewish Foods Memory Game, players will match bagel to bagel and lox to lox, learning the Hebrew words of the foods as they go. |

| Bake your way through the Jewish holidays with 25 insanely delicious, foolproof recipes—including Poppy Seed Hamantaschen for Purim, Coconut Macaroons for Passover, Apple Babka for Rosh Hashanah, jam-filled Sufganiyot for Hanukkah, and so much more. | A BAGEL STICKER. WHO KNEW? Proclaim your favorite (and maybe not so favorite!) foods with over 450 stickers that you’ll never find in any other sticker book. | Blending the recipes with over 160 stories from the Rabinowitz family and illustrated throughout with more than 500 photographs, Cooking Jewish invites the reader not just into the kitchen, but into a vibrant world of family and friends. | For many Jews, the meal is the holiday. Reflecting three thousand years of love and loss, culture and change, each dish captures the soul of what’s served in a Jewish home on a Jewish holiday. | Ring in the holiday with eighteen writers who extol, excoriate, and expand our understanding of this most merry of Jewish festivals. | Cooking alla Giudia is the ultimate tribute to the wonderfully rich, yet still largely unknown, culinary heritage of the Jews of Italy. |
They left out Isaac Asimov but otherwise it’s great.
As a Jew who was raised as a Presbyterian, reading this book is like getting a hug from a giant curmudgeonly uncle, who is interrupted by your wonk-ish cousin asking you something slightly prying in a charming way. Then, your sweet grown niece breaks in and says something totally brilliant. You know, like being home.
