What child would not be delighted by the story of bewildering matzoballs, miraculous latkes, unusual guests to a Bar Mitzvah, and a dog with a mysterious and exciting history? These are the contents of Cynthia Goren's "Tales from a Jewish Grandmother." In this collection, two stories for the very young and two for the older child subtly but convincingly stress the importance of respect and patience both for each other and for all of nature. The whimsy of the earlier stories will bring giggles to the younger set; the more serious and nuanced later stories will provide the thought and substance needed by an older child. Sprinkled with love and faith, heritage, and peoplehood, this anthology illustrates, above all, the Jewish child's thirst for the beautiful traditions of Judaism. "This delightful anthology of stories, suitable for children of varying ages, will open a child's eyes, heart, and mind to his or her connection to the dynamic and thriving culture of the Jewish people." -Danny A. Brass, DVM Book Reviewer for the National Speleological Society and Choice Magazine
While growing up in Brooklyn, Abby November’s grandmother, Bubbe, always told her, “You’ll miss me when I’m a candle.” Soon, it became evident that Bubbe’s uncanny wit was genetic as November transformed into a kid who loved creating amusing repartees. In a collection of personal essays, prose, poetry, and recipes, November shares insight into her life experiences and relationships while being raised in a multi-generational home in Brooklyn, New York, with her parental grandparents, Bubbe and Zayde, whose zest for life, liverwurst sandwiches, an egg cream at Crazy Joe’s candy shop, and sitting on the stoop naming constellations became an integral part of November’s upbringing. While November’s writings detail how she eventually left to attend an internship program in Boston, married and had two children, earned three degrees, and became a stand-up comedian, they also shine a light on how the wisdom of her elder family members became a north star for her to follow through her adult life. Tales of a Bubbe is a collection of personal essays, prose, poetry, and recipes shared from the heart and mind of a woman reflecting on love, laughter, and wonderful memories.
Bubbie and Zadie, two magical characters, bring the spirit of Hanukkah to a Jewish family on the first night of the holiday.
"A grandchild and grandmother make preparations for a family Shabbat meal and celebration"--
This exciting graphic novel presents a series of puzzling mystical Jewish stories weaving together a daring adventure tale, following siblings Rose and Ben as they search for their missing grandparents, aided only by a mysterious book, a lantern, and their wits. Anticipating danger, the kids' grandmother, Bubbe, appears to the twins in a cloud of flour and tells them to find a package that contains a book. The midrash stories they find—about the flying Ziz, the giant Og, the gatekeeper at a maze, and a treasure-seeker who lives in a mushroom hut—provide insights into defeating the creepy sorceress scheming to take the book. As the mystery deepens, the siblings must follow the Lamplighter's wise advice, slip past a guard into a maze, reunite with their grandparents, and learn why they have inherited the responsibility to protect the book—and the Jewish people.
Three children tell each other a Hanukkah story while their grandmother prepares a special meal of latkes. Includes factual information about the holiday.
Bubbe Meise: A grandmother's fable. An "old wives tale". An untrue story. Sometimes related to superstition. Often, an Aaron Zevy short story. Aaron Zevy is at it again with a new collection of amusing tales and vignettes about his life with his friends, both real and imagined, and family. Like his first collection, Almost the Truth: Stories and Lies, which Kirkus Review called "... a series of hilarious stories...in an easy going style which is both polished and seemingly improvised," Bubbe Meise and Other Stories continues Zevy's trademark approach to storytelling, which blurs the lines of fact and fiction. With a tip of the hat to David Sedaris's self awareness and Etgar Keret's metafiction, but a unique style and voice very much his own, Zevy amuses and astounds. Don't try to figure out what is real and what is not just sit back and enjoy! After all, Zevy reminds us to "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." More praise for Almost the Truth: Stories and Lies... "It's entertaining, it's funny, it's culturally revealing, and it's steeped in the unexpected. Almost the Truth: Stories and Lies is uniformly one of the more creative, satisfyingly reads of 2020. Readers who enjoy wry humor and life observations that depart from any anticipated pathway will delight in Aaron Zevy's collection, which is often politically or culturally incorrect in delightful ways." - Midwest Reviews "To read Zevy is not only to get lost in his often hilarious and unexpected tales, but to be given a front row seat on the nature and art of storytelling itself. His imitable voice is hilariously self-deprecating, vivid, and splashed with surprising moments of intimacy." - Jules Lewis, author of "Waiting for Ricky Tantrum" (Dundurn Press, 2010) "Reading Zevy is like having the good fortune of pulling up a barstool next to a master storyteller- and you don't have to leave your house." - 5-star Amazon Review "Incredibly entertaining! I read one story after another. As soon as I put it down, my husband grabbed it. Rather than fight over it, we read it aloud to each other. A great way to spend an afternoon." - Goodreads Review
"She escaped the almost certain death of a concentration camp, so breaking out of a nursing home is small potatoes. She beat it out of a Polish ghetto by refusing to take orders, so she won't likely take that medication. Just how is one Jewish family in Miami Beach going to make sure their matriarch, Bubbie, gets something she would never have dreamed of needing ... help surviving? Managing Bubbie is the family memoir by grandson Russel Lazega that recounts the vexing days in the 1980's when his family banded together to attempt the insurmountable. Full of wit, warmth, and awe-inspiring will, Managing Bubbie offers a rarely seen glimpse at the deep reserves of compassion, courage, and even comic relief that emerged during the darkest days of the Holocaust. Anyone seeking a new perspective on this defining time, or who share the challenges of managing a difficult family member's health, will find so much in this poignant book."--

Why do stock and housing markets sometimes experience amazing booms followed by massive busts and why is this happening more and more frequently? In order to answer these questions, William Quinn and John D. Turner take us on a riveting ride through the history of financial bubbles, visiting, among other places, Paris and London in 1720, Latin America in the 1820s, Melbourne in the 1880s, New York in the 1920s, Tokyo in the 1980s, Silicon Valley in the 1990s and Shanghai in the 2000s. As they do so, they help us understand why bubbles happen, and why some have catastrophic economic, social and political consequences whilst others have actually benefited society. They reveal that bubbles start when investors and speculators react to new technology or political initiatives, showing that our ability to predict future bubbles will ultimately come down to being able to predict these sparks.
