Her book, Jewish Holiday Style, will moti vate you to explore your Jewish heritage and use your imagination to make it your own. Jewish Holiday Style is packed with dazzling and inspiring ideas. For Rosh Hashanah, host a honey- tasting party to celebrate the sweetness of a new year. If you love the ocean, observe Sukkot in a sukkah with a seaside motif. Make your own Chanukah meno- rahs — try a simple cruse of oil that reflects the miracle of the oil in the Holy Temple or an elaborate metal-worked candelabrum that is sure to become a family heirloom. For the Passover table, create per sonalized pillows for your guests, which will allow them to recline like the royalty of old while you serve a lavish yet simple-to-pre- pare feast. As part of this eye-opening tour through the Jewish calendar, Brownstein also highlights the historical origins and religious importance of each major holiday with a delightful essay that brings ancient rituals into the modem day. Think of the fast of Yom Kippur, for instance, as “a day spa for the soul ... the too-rare oppor tunity to get in touch with the things that really matter.” Purim is “the definitive holiday of joy and merriment,” commemorating a bright moment in the often somber history of the Jewish people. On Shabbat, “appreciate that you are joining the wave of Jews who are kindling their candles as the sun falls, working its way around the world.” At once a handbook of creative ideas and a primer on the spiritual significance of the Jewish holi days, Jewish Holiday Style is the first lifestyle book to address these all-important rituals and cere monies, an elegantly designed volume that blends sensational crafts and delectable cooking with the richness of Judaism’s 3,300- year-old tradition. Bursting with fresh ideas and exciting new looks, here, finally, is the book you’ve been waiting for. For more information, please call Mamie Moskowitz, Director of Program Developemnt, at 704- 944-6764 or email mmoskowitz @shalomcharlotte.org. Let the holiday celebrations begin.
