2 Come For Everything...But Cholent (Bloch) by Kay Kantor Pomerantz is the third volume in the "Come For..." series. It features many recipes for kugels and soups, meat and chicken dishes and vegetarian specialties. Ms. Pomerantz also includes a recipe certain to please your fa- vorite yuppie (sushi), chocolate lovers (have you ever had choco- late-covered matzahs?) and health-food fans (Chinese-tofu sal- ad). or years, actors, scholars and professors have debat- ed the true nature of Shakespeare's character. But perhaps the even more puz- zling question is: With so few Jews in England at the time, why was Shakespeare writing any- thing at all about Jews? In Shakespeare and the Jews (Columbia University Press), Columbia University Pro- fessor James Shapiro considers everything Elizabethan Jews re- ally knew, what they imagined about Jews, and what kind of Jewish community was there to begin with. He bases his work on diaries, travel narratives, ser- mons and even parliamentary de- bates to consider such questions as, "Was it possible to be both English and Jewish? Were Jew- ish converts to Christianity in- sincere?" His research echoes nothing of the familiar attitudes on the sub- ject. In fact, he shows that British subjects regarded Jews as dis- tinctly odd, different in every pos- sible way from themselves. abbi Joseph Soloveitchik was among the most prominent ofJewish schol- ars, whose writings are well-known by educators and students worldwide. But what of how Rabbi Soloveitchik's father met his bride, a charming, modern girl who almost didn't wed because of an incident at a pear tree? In The Soloveitchik Her- itage: A Daughter's Memoir (Ktav), Shulamith Soloveitchik Meiselman tells stories of her forefathers, some of the leading rabbis ofJewish history, and her family, including her brother, Joseph. She writes of life before the family immigrated, and then of the tremendous changes that oc- curred in the United States. It is a book filled with charming rec- ollections (such as the time when the family's former maid, Maria, helped Shulamith's mother search through a terrible snow- storm to find milk for her hungry children) and photographs. Those with a passion for Jew- ish history also will want to look at The Encyclopedia of Ha- sidism (Aronson) by Tzvi Rabi- In addition to chapters on nowicz. This well-researched meats and soups, Ms. Nash of- book offers information on virtu- qn ri ri a rN7 nllmevervasnect of Chasidism He looks at women, youth, the appeal of Reform Judaism to Eastern European immigrants and the constantly changing na- ture of the Reform temple. "Like American Protestant groups, Reform temples and Re- form national leadership chose not to directly confront the lack of piety of each successive younger generation. Instead, they continually redefined the nature of temple life in order to incorpo- rate the very secular activities that enticed the adult sons and daughters of temple founders. Sisterhoods, brotherhoods, and youth groups, temple center ac- tivities and a host of recreation- al and cultural goals expanded the previously narrow confines of Reform houses of worship. In this fashion, the affiliation of the younger generation was achieved. Commitment to tem- ple life became an ethnic loyalty, often an expression of Jewish identity or feeling rather than a statement of faith or of religious practice." Certainly one of the most in- fluential figures in that move- ment has been Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, the recently retired head of the UAHC. In The Jewish Condition (UAHC Press), Aron Hirt-Man- heimer offers a collection of es- says that pay tribute to Rabbi Schindler. Works include a focus on pluralism in Israel, Jewish ethics in daily life, and the rela- tionship between Diaspora and Israeli Jewry. uture Julia Childs, two new cookbooks offer such yum- my creations as Roast Chicken with Tarragon; Endive, Arugula and Alfalfa Sprout Salad; Cherry Noodle Kugel; and Cream of Mushroom Soup. Kosher Cuisine: Gourmet Recipes for the Modern Home (Jason Aronson) by Helen Nash features illustrations and recipes for both traditional Jew- ish dishes and new taste sensa- tions. Many feature delightful introductions by the author (of her marinated chicken wings she writes, "An inspiration for this dish came from a Chinese woman I happened to meet at a party. She told me of a wonderful chick- en-wing delicacy that had re- minded her of the lollipops she used to eat as a child."), a native of Poland who came to the Unit- ed States when she was 14. Ini- tially, her meals consisted of typical Eastern European Jew- ish fare. Then she began to study cooking as an art. "After learning, experiment- ing, and cooking for 25 years, I have developed an eclectic reper- toire of recipes, techniques, and styles of entertaining," she writes.
