    any good books that are popular (only jewish) that you would recommend?

    #1216852

    Why do they have to be popular?

    We already have a thread about this. Why was it necessary to make another one?

    Please post the thread on the same topic as this.

    What book do you want everyone to read?

    Granted it doesn’t specify Jewish books, but l’maaseh people only listed Jewish books (as required reading) and then proceeded to bash goyish books.

    The Y.W. Editor posted this on another thread (Jewish Book Reviews)…

    I beg to differ. That thread is about books you want everyone to read, presumably because it would improve everyone’s lives, while

    this thread is, I assume, a request for enjoyable books.

    (Other book recommendation threads do of course exist, though.)

    Randomex – thank you for answering my question. I had not understood the OP that way. Is that what you meant, Rebshidduch?

    Either way, my recommendation remains the same. Both for enjoyment and improvement, I highly recommend:

    “Emunah with love and chicken soup” by Sara Yocheved Rigler.

    Did anyone read the balancing act? I need to wait to read emunah with love and chicken soup since they dont have it at the library right now.

    Did anyone read emunah with chicken soup? How long did it take you to finish it?

    It’s a very long book. I like to finish books all at once, so I read it pretty quickly. I don’t remember how long it took, but probably no more than 3 days. I read the first half in order, and then I skipped around for the rest until I had read all of it at least once (actually probably several times!).

    It’s a really good book – I actually bought it, even though I don’t usually buy these kinds of books. It’s usually a waste of money to buy these kinds of books because you usually only read them once.

    But I felt like this was a book that I would want to have around to keep rereading.
