Jewish Holiday Cooking: A Food Lovers Treasury of Classics and Improvisations

In Jewish Holiday Cooking, Jayne Cohen shares a wide-ranging collection of traditional Jewish recipes, as well as inventive new creations and contemporary variations on the classic dishes.  For home cooks, drawing from the rich traditions of Jewish history when cooking for the holidays can be a daunting task.  Jewish Holiday Cooking comes to the rescue with recipes drawn from Jayne Cohen's first book, The Gefilte Variations -- called an "outstanding debut" by Publisher's Weekly -- as well as over 100 new recipes and information on cooking for the holidays.  More than just a cookbook, this is the definitive guide to celebrating the Jewish holidays.  Cohen provides practical advice and creative suggestions on everything from setting a Seder table with ritual objects to accommodating vegan relatives.  The book is organized around the major Jewish holidays and includes nearly 300 recipes and variations, plus suggested menus tailored to each occasion, all conforming to kosher dietary laws.  Chapters include all eight of the major Jewish holidays -- Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Hanukkah, Purim, Passover, and Shavuot -- and the book is enlivened throughout with captivating personal reminiscences and tales from Jewish lore as well as nostalgic black and white photography from Cohen's own family history.

Celebrating the Jewish Year: The Winter Holidays : Hanukkah, Tu b'shevat, Purim (Celebrating the Jewish Year)

JPS's new holiday books take us through the joys, spirit, and meaning of the seasons. Blending the old and the new, they ground us in the origins and traditions of each holiday and open up to us ways we can add our own expression to these special days. Although synagogue ritual is touched upon, the real focus here is on our personal connections to each holiday and our home observance.

As we move from season to season, Paul Steinberg shares with us a rich collection of readings from many of the Jewish greats -- Maimonides, Rashi, Nachmanides, Shlomo Carlebach, Marge Piercy, Elie Wiesel, Martin Buber, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Arthur Green, and others -- and he guides us in discovering for ourselves the many treasures within each text.

The readings teach us about the history of each holiday, as well as its theological, ethical, agricultural, and seasonal importance and interpretation; others give us inspiration and much food for thought. These stories, essays, poems, anecdotes, and rituals help us discover how deeply Jewish traditions are rooted in nature's yearly cycle, and how beautifully season and spirit are woven together throughout the Jewish year.

The Lights of Hanukkah: A Book of Menorahs

Every winter, Jewish families come together to celebrate Hanukkah, the eight-day Festival of Lights. As in many other traditions, Hanukkah celebrates the optimistic hope for the return of light in the darkest part of winter. The centerpiece and most important symbol of this holiday is the Hanukkah menorah, or Hanukkiah. This eight-branched lamp is a beloved object, somewhere between sacred and secular, in the Jewish home and synagogue.

Over the centuries, the Hanukkah menorah has been created with artistry, passion, hope, and humor. The Lights of Hanukkah's 62 color photographs and accompanying text explore the Hanukkiah's art and craft from every corner of the world, as well as the history and culture of Hanukkah through prayers, songs, and readings.
