LOVE this book! As a Christian once married to a Jew this was my fun and easy way to basically understand celebrating religious holidays for him as well. Stories, recipes and photos are wonderful. I'm long divorced but I still pull this out every now and then to keep up with the Jewish Holiday customs and recipes throughout the year .
