Book excerpt: A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK SELECTED BY * POPSUGAR * BUSTLE * BUZZFEED * BOOKPAGE * GOODREADS MEMBERS "The Matzah Ball had me laughing out loud...an all-around terrific read."—Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author Oy! to the world Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt is a nice Jewish girl with a shameful secret: she loves Christmas. For a decade she’s hidden her career as a Christmas romance novelist from her family. Her talent has made her a bestseller even as her chronic illness has always kept the kind of love she writes about out of reach. But when her diversity-conscious publisher insists she write a Hanukkah romance, her well of inspiration suddenly runs dry. Hanukkah’s not magical. It’s not merry. It’s not Christmas. Desperate not to lose her contract, Rachel’s determined to find her muse at the Matzah Ball, a Jewish music celebration on the last night of Hanukkah, even if it means working with her summer camp archenemy—Jacob Greenberg. Though Rachel and Jacob haven’t seen each other since they were kids, their grudge still glows brighter than a menorah. But as they spend more time together, Rachel finds herself drawn to Hanukkah—and Jacob—in a way she never expected. Maybe this holiday of lights will be the spark she needed to set her heart ablaze. "A luminous celebration of all types of love, threaded with the message that everyone is worthy of it.”—Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of The Ex Talk

Download or read book Matzoh Balls and Baseballs written by Dave Cohen and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As "America's favorite pastime," perhaps no sport has chronicled the rise of an immigrant nation like baseball. From German-American parents came Babe Ruth, Italian-Americans proudly point to Joe DiMaggio, and Jackie Robinson shattered the color barrier for African Americans that had kept them out of the game since the 1880s. Certainly, almost every Jewish baseball fan knows the names of Hall of Famers Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax, but Jews have played professional baseball in the United States since the earliest days of the sport. Indeed, over 160 Jews are known to have played professional baseball during the modern era, contributing significantly to the game on every level. But who, other than Koufax, is the only other Jewish pitcher to win the Cy Young Award? Which Jewish ballplayer's place in baseball history is assured, as he has the distinction of being the first major leaguer to play a game as a DH? In his landmark book Matzoh Balls and Baseballs, popular sportscaster Dave Cohen uncovers this hidden history and goes right to the source for answers, interviewing 17 former Jewish MLB players to hear, in their own words, what it was like to play in the Majors - the triumphs, frustrations, and everything in between. Foreword by Steve Greenberg. Interviewees include: Larry Yellen, Ron Blomberg, Elliott Maddox, Jim Gaudet, Richie Scheinblum, Joe Ginsberg, Ross Baumgarten, Mike Epstein, Ken Holtzman, Norm Sherry, Steve Stone, Steve Hertz, Don Taussig, Norm Miller, Barry Latman, Morris Savransky, and Al Rosen.

Book excerpt: One Sunday morning we were having brunch with some friends at a restaurant overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The discussion of favorite foods came up and someone asked our three-year old daughter, Shavonne, what were her favorite foods. Without hesitation she looked up, smiled and said, "Matzo balls and cornbread." -TYREE (CORNBREAD) When Shavonne said her favorite foods were matzo balls and cornbread, I immediately knew it would make a great title for a book or play. Later, when we decided to write this book, we both agreed it would be the perfect title. If you think about it, it says everything about us. -LES (MATZO BALLS) * * * Matzo Balls and Cornbread is the recipe for a love story between two people from different backgrounds who made a life together: Les, a white Jewish man, and Tyree, an African-American woman. The story focuses on their family histories, experiences growing up, careers, meeting, married life, and the wonders of parenthood. It is a story of adventure that takes them to Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, Cape Town, Jerusalem, Budapest, and Dublin. It is a story of their professional success, as they rise to levels they hadn't thought possible, including their experiences with historical events that occurred in Los Angeles and the nation. And it is a story told with humor that expresses the joy they had while learning about and embracing each other's history and cultures, while merging those differences into a life that celebrates both. But mostly, it is a love story.
