My sister Stacey often gives books as gifts and about two years ago she gave me
The Outside World by Tova Mirvis. She also just recommended another book written by her,
The Ladies Auxiliary, which I am reading now. They are stories about Orthodox Jewish families and communities and I've really enjoyed reading them. Especially now that I've married into a family with a Jewish background. I love learning more about the culture, traditions, and holidays of this faith and recommend these books to my friends. Reading them from an LDS perspective has also made me reflect more on the culture an traditions of my faith as well.
