Foreword: Sandy Eisenberg Sasso

A collection of original stories by acclaimed author Rabbi Zoë Klein, Candle, Feather, Wooden Spoon invites readers on a magical, mystical journey. With settings both traditional and contemporary, the stories each highlight an essential aspect of living a meaningful Jewish life. Appropriate for all ages, the many tales include “Time Palace,” a legend of how the Jewish people created Shabbat; “Yofiel,” the story of an angel who keeps revealing the secrets of Torah; “Shalom Bayit,” imagining the chuppah as a metaphor for powerful social change; and “Candle, Feather, Wooden Spoon,” which reframes these traditional Passover objects as tools for intergenerational healing. Whether you’re a rabbi, cantor, or educator–the storytellers of our community–or just a lover of stories, this book is sure to stir your heart and inspire your spirit.
