My Jewish Year

Author: Abigail Pogrebin
Stars: 2
Review by: MApgar


When author Pogrebin, feeling disconnected from her Jewish heritage, decides to celebrate all the holidays on the calendar - her family and friends are a bit amused if anything. Are we going kosher? Will you be orthodox, etc.? After ordering a shofar off Amazon (and doing a hideous job of blowing the thing) she finds her way in bits and starts in various holidays - many of which she did not celebrate before. The parent of two teenagers, one of which was about to leave for college, she often found herself reflecting on how she should have took her journey earlier so that her family would have enjoyed it more as children.
