Great Book Gifts For Your Jewish Friends - Inspirational Fiction Book Review

Do you have a Jewish friend and unsure what to get them; are you from a Jewish family and want to get something really smart as a gift? Well, then boy have I got a book idea for you:

"The Big Kahn - A Fake Holy Man's 40-year Lie" By Neil Kleid and Nicholas Cinquegrani; Nantier Bealle Minoustchine Publishing, Inc; Los Angeles, CA; ISBN 978-1-56163-561-0.

This is a great story, as it turns out a Jewish Rabbi, David Kahn, was never Jewish at all, and he never even knew it during his life time. Turns out the Rabbi's brother breaks the news to everyone and his family at the Rabbi's funeral and to the entire congregation. And what follows is a story that once you start reading you will not be able to put it down. If you are Jewish you will be quite amused at this book and will completely enjoy it and wish to pass in onto friends and family as a gift.

Speaking of great books for your Jewish friends Neil Kleid has also written another very good book, this time with co-author Jake Allen. It's called; "The Jewish Gangster" (ISBN 978-1-56163-459-X) and it is a great story, one which will suck you in and another book you are not going to be able to put down, as it is witty, moving, and intelligently written as well.

And you'll even learn about Brooklyn's Brownsville Neighborhood as well. Indeed, I am going to recommend you buy both of these books. Well, I hope you enjoy reading these books as much as I.

Select a gift for Rosh Hashana

This year Rosh Hashanah of the New Year 5769 begins the evening of Monday, September 29 and is celebrated on Tuesday, September 30 and Wednesday, October 1, 2008

The celebration of Rosh Hashanah is celebrated with many sweet foods, like honey cakes and apples dipped in honey. Jews do this in hopes that it will bring a “sweet year”. Other symbolic foods that are often found on Rosh Hashanah are pomegranates, carrots and the head of a fish.

As every gift you buy , also Rosh Hashana gifts should be kosher under rabbinical supervision.

So if you intend to nuts , chocolates , candy , honey , wine - you should check whether they are kosher.

Of all the beautiful gift items making their way to the shops on Rosh Hashanah, ornamental Apple-honey containers heads the list as they are symbolic of the sweet year that awaits all.

Another great idea for a gift for "Rosh HaShana" can be a bottle of fine ( and kosher ) wine ,
with a jar of honey and granola wrapped with a towel and a satin ribbon .
