Wooden Spoon invites readers on a magical, mystical journey. With settings both

traditional and contemporary, the stories each highlight an essential aspect of living a

meaningful Jewish life. Appropriate for all ages, the many tales include "Time Palace,"

a legend of how the Jewish people created Shabbat; "Yofiel," the story of an angel

who keeps revealing the secrets of Torah; "Shalom Bayit," imagining the chuppah as

a metaphor for powerful social change; and "Candle, Feather, Wooden Spoon,"

which reframes these traditional Passover objects as tools for intergenerational healing.

Whether you're a rabbi, cantor, or educator-the storytellers of our community-or just

a lover of stories, this book is sure to stir your heart and inspire your spirit.
