Thank you for sharing some of your 2022 Jewish reading list and commentary on each one. I read Alice Hoffman’s “The World That We Knew” another one of her books rooted in Judaism with a mystical theme. This one takes place in 1941 and follows two daughters of a Rabbi as they flee Germany, and their adventures take quite interesting twists and turns as they both hide from and then confront the horrors of hatred and destruction of war - And there’s a golem! I recommend! Also to put matters straight, some Lapides’s love sexy bits - want to make sure your readers know we aren’t that prudish.
