Interview with Rabbi Michael Broyde author of A Concise Code of Jewish Law for Converts
I am pleased to have interviewed Rabbi Michael Broyde, author of A Concise Code of Jewish Law for Converts (Urim Publications, 2017) about his new book.

The Kosher Baking Revolution Brought to You by Paula Shoyer
I discovered Paula Shoyer through her Chocolate Chip Mandelbread. Rosh Hashana was approaching and mandelbread seemed, to me, to be the only dessert option on the horizon.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know: Best Reads for the High Holiday Season?
Books are dead? Not this year. I am always pleased to see an article like this one which appears in Jewish Action Magazine in advance of the High Holidays this year.

A Jewish Werewolf – Unorthodox Fiction from an Orthodox Jewish Author
Wolves are “in”. Werewolves seem to be even more “in”. A few years ago someone approached me with a book about Jewish vampires and I wasn’t sure there would be readers for it. By the time Ira Berkowitz called me about his book A Wolf in the Soul, I knew it was time. This theme seemed […]
