Book excerpt: Meet the OG Matzo Ballers: eight friends who became found family, living and loving their best lives on a yearly Hanukkah harbor cruise around Manhattan… Instead of partying with her crew on her favorite night of the year, Talia Katz is stuck pinch hitting for the flaky chef her even flakier brother hired for the glitzy event. Happy freaking Hanukkah. To make matters worse, her brother forgot to order fryer oil. How is she supposed to make Hanukkah happen without enough oil to fry the latkes? It’s going to take a miracle… Asher Stein hates Hanukkah—and with good reason. But when the Matzo Baller’s bartender gets sick at the last minute, he agrees to step in, even though he usually avoids all things blue and gold like the plague. Now he’s stuck on a cruise for eight hours with a twelve-foot tall sparkling menorah and enough gelt to sink the boat. Oy vey. Hanukkah starts looking a little bit brighter—and hotter—when Asher discovers the cute chef he’s been eyeing on the boat is his long-lost BFF from Jewish day camp. Both Asher and Talia have secrets. If they want to give their friendship—or more—a second chance these two opposites will have to share more than a sizzling spin in the sheets after a smoking-hot game of strip dreidel…although that’s a very good start.

Download or read book A Kosher Christmas written by Joshua Eli Plaut and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas is not everybody’s favorite holiday. Historically, Jews in America, whether participating in or refraining from recognizing Christmas, have devised a multitude of unique strategies to respond to the holiday season. Their response is a mixed one: do we participate, try to ignore the holiday entirely, or create our own traditions and make the season an enjoyable time? This book, the first on the subject of Jews and Christmas in the United States, portrays how Jews are shaping the public and private character of Christmas by transforming December into a joyous holiday season belonging to all Americans. Creative and innovative in approaching the holiday season, these responses range from composing America’s most beloved Christmas songs, transforming Hanukkah into the Jewish Christmas, creating a national Jewish tradition of patronizing Chinese restaurants and comedy shows on Christmas Eve, volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens on Christmas Day, dressing up as Santa Claus to spread good cheer, campaigning to institute Hanukkah postal stamps, and blending holiday traditions into an interfaith hybrid celebration called “Chrismukkah” or creating a secularized holiday such as Festivus. Through these venerated traditions and alternative Christmastime rituals, Jews publicly assert and proudly proclaim their Jewish and American identities to fashion a universally shared message of joy and hope for the holiday season.

Download or read book October Mourning written by Leslea Newman and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful poetic exploration of the impact of Matthew Shepard’s murder on the world. On the night of October 6, 1998, a gay twenty-one-year-old college student named Matthew Shepard was kidnapped from a Wyoming bar by two young men, savagely beaten, tied to a remote fence, and left to die. Gay Awareness Week was beginning at the University of Wyoming, and the keynote speaker was Lesléa Newman, discussing her book Heather Has Two Mommies. Shaken, the author addressed the large audience that gathered, but she remained haunted by Matthew’s murder. October Mourning, a novel in verse, is her deeply felt response to the events of that tragic day. Using her poetic imagination, the author creates fictitious monologues from various points of view, including the fence Matthew was tied to, the stars that watched over him, the deer that kept him company, and Matthew himself. More than a decade later, this stunning cycle of sixty-eight poems serves as an illumination for readers too young to remember, and as a powerful, enduring tribute to Matthew Shepard’s life. Back matter includes an epilogue, an afterword, explanations of poetic forms, and resources.
