A Collection of 13 Stories About Growing Up Jewish
What does it mean to grow up Jewish in today's world? Noted author and editor Sandy Asher put this question to 13 of the best-known Jewish writers for children. The wide-ranging results are compiled in this collection of original short stories dealing with the issues faced by today's Jewish youth.
Although the stories range from Bar Mitzvahs to the last days of Masada, with stops in Brooklyn and outer space, these stories all relate to the theme of "growing up Jewish." Brief interviews follow each story, in which the authors comment on their own "Jewishness" and about the issues presented in their stories. Included also are author biographies and an introduction from Sandy Asher.
