Mark Zanger pieces on Jbooks.com

This is a personal index to some fun book reviews and one essay that I have written recently for JBooks.com.

• Making Peace While Breaking Bread Joint review with my observant niece Lynn Kaye of WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T EAT IN MY HOME? A Guide to How New Observant Jews and Their Less Observant Relatives Can Still Get Along By Azriela Jaffe.


• Rating Rogov. Review of Rogov's Guide to Israeli Wines 2005 By Daniel Rogov.


• Nathan's Famous Cookbook Review of Joan Nathan’s Jewish Holiday Cookbook By Joan Nathan. New and updated edition incorporating her baking book.


• The Art of Not Eating Essay on high holiday fasting. Weird coincidence. I later found a similar essay in the book Kosher Pigs by my college chaplain, the late Rabbi Richard Israel.


• It's All About the Zuzim Review of The Hasidic Masters' Guide to Management By Moshe Kranc.


• The American Singer Review of Collected Stories: Gimpel the Fool to The Letter Writer By Isaac Bashevis Singer. Singer's first book in The Library of America. Hmmn, so does that make him an American writer?


• The Well-Fed Words of A.J. Leibling Published under my restaurant-reviewing pseudonym of Robert Nadeau, a review of the reissue of Between Meals: An Appetite for Paris By A. J. Liebling.
