Talking in Shul


Jewish Day Planners & Jewish Romance Novels

This month we’re joined by guest host Miriam Steinberg-Egeth. Among Miriam’s many claims to fame are her Jewish advice column in the Exponent, and her forthcoming book, Warm and Welcoming: How the Jewish Community Can Become Truly Diverse and Inclusive in the 21st Century which she co-edited with Warren Hoffman and which is coming out in December. 

This month we’re talking about Jewish day planners. We’ve got a review copy of the Olam Haba Dreaming the world to come day planner that we’re going to talk about, as well as some other Jewish planners and planning techniques that we like and dislike. 

And for our second segment we’re talking about Jewish romance novels. This year brings us the Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan, as well as The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer. So, what does it look like for a romance to be Jewish?
