 | Empty the Ocean with a Spoon by Rosolie Sogolow
A cornucopia of culture, this book is filled with Yiddish expressions and proverbs; traditions of love, marriage, food, and children; home remedies and cooking; manners and morals; religion; folk tales; and superstitions (bubbe meises). It also includes colorful accounts by people from all walks of life, including two rabbis, a cantor who is a seventh-generation Sabra, comedy writers, and journalists -- all recalling their own formative years and the Jewish influence in their lives. Whimsically illustrated by Jan Golden, this is a warm historical treasure for all Americans. Traveling down the road of nostalgia, the reader doesn`t have to be Jewish to enjoy Empty the Ocean with a Spoon. But it couldn`t hurt. AUTHOR: Rosolie Sogolow
