A master Jewish storyteller serves up food for soul and body. Rabbi Abraham Twerski, M.D., famed psychiatrist and author of over 30 books on self-improvement, addiction recovery, and Jewish philosophy, descends from a long line of Chasidic masters. In A Taste of Nostalgia, Dr. Twerski transports the reader back over a century to life in the European shtetl. Weaving themes of courage, irony, wisdom, and struggle, his brilliant stories parallel the Jewish year in holidays, beginning with the weekly Sabbath. Complementing this spiritual feast, Mrs. Judi Dick, a highly regarded editor of numerous Judaica books, contributes her culinary expertise in recreating the traditional Jewish kitchen of yesteryear. More than 150 distinctive recipes, comfortably adapted for the Jewish mother in all of us, bring back the aromatic tastes of the Old Country, including an extensive Sabbath selection, an expanded Passover section, and time-honored and delicious treats for the Jewish holidays.

A Taste of Nostalgia: Tales and Recipes to Nourish Body and Soul
This is a book that I actually began reading about six years ago. I'm not really sure why I stopped reading it.
While I am not Jewish, it was still an interesting read. The title is a bit misleading in the sense that it does not cover all of Judaism. It also has some of the Rabbi author's opinions interwoven with the text, albeit mostly brief. The author makes predictions that are acceptable, yet I'm not sure if I agree with a few of them. With the title and the opinions added along with explanations of two sides of any given debate, I got the impression that Brawer feels that Orthodox is the only legitimate form of Judaism. Hmm.
It was what I was looking for. A somewhat complete explanation of the faith, along with the very helpful history. Naturally, the Holocaust was the hardest part to read about. As far as the Jewish life cycle, the part on death was equally difficult to read.
Even though I don't walk away from this book (after six years) feeling the need to become Orthodox, this book is very helpful and worth keeping for reference.
My Notes:
October 4th, 2011: The last time I read this book, I made it to page 182, but I've decided to start it over. I need a review in Judaism anyway."
October 5th, 2011:
Pg 22, 7.64%: "Ah review!"
October 10th, 2011:
Pg 22, 7.64%: "No, you're not misreading. I'm still on the same page lol. Been busy with planning a mini trip outta the city so I haven't had much chance for reading."
October 18th, 2011:
Pg 44, 15.28%: "Gonna read some more of this book and be on later."
October 7th, 2017:
Pg 182, 56.88%: "I'm now on the page where I'd stopped reading about six years ago. I don't remember why I stopped reading it. Now to finish this book."
