In A Year of Jew­ish Joy, Rebekah Lowin — affec­tion­ate­ly called a Jew­ish Martha Stew­art” by her read­ers — brings warmth, cre­ativ­i­ty, and style to Jew­ish cel­e­bra­tions. From Shab­bat to the major hol­i­days, she guides read­ers through tra­di­tions and rit­u­als pro­vid­ing prac­ti­cal ways to bring them to life at home. The book fea­tures more than 75 kosher recipes, menus, enter­tain­ing ideas, and DIY hol­i­day dec­o­rat­ing inspi­ra­tion. What sets this book apart is Rebekah’s abil­i­ty to make cel­e­bra­tion both beau­ti­ful and approach­able. Sim­ple details, such as a care­ful­ly set table, sea­son­al dec­o­ra­tions, and play­ful DIY projects will infuse each occa­sion with hos­pi­tal­i­ty, per­son­al style, and joy.
