Manna Songs: Stories of Jewish Culture & Heritage is a stunning collection of 32 powerful essays celebrating Jewish joy. Whether set in the Catskills of New York, New England, Chicago, or LA; across oceans in Israel, Denmark, Mt. Everest, or Spain; in synagogues of youth, redwood forests, or family seder tables, its stories, like manna in the desert of our ancestors, sustain both body and soul. Curated by Diane Gottlieb, with a foreword by Erika Dreifus, Manna Songs speaks to the rich diversity of Jewish lives. Through tallit and candlesticks, paintbrushes and prayer, these beautiful Jewish voices reach back across generations and pass traditions forward. Readers will find humor alongside sorrow, questions beside wonder, people lost, others found. Manna Songs will delight, move, and inspire you. It will make your heart sing!
