Incredible - our newest release from Reclaiming Judaism Press, MITZVAH STORIES: Seeds for Inspiration and Learning is being honored by the National Jewish Book Awards. So grateful to the Jewish Book Council for helping to make this book and the 60 contributing authors and our Mitzvah-Centered Life Initiative so much more visible and valued.
    Mazel Tov to all contributing authors, my co-editor Ellen Frankel, artist Taylor Rozek and the editorial team of Peninnah Schram, Cherie Karo Schwartz and Arthur Stimling. Here's a link to all of the National Jewish Book Award Winners, including Maggie Anton whose Rav Hisda's Daughter I reviewed as magnificent and my teacher Reb Zalman's important new book Davenning a top prize-winner in its category.
