The Five Books creates a space for all listeners to explore what it means to live, write, and read as a Jewish American today.
Each week we talk with a Jewish author about
Five Books in five categories:
1. A book from childhood that shaped
the author’s Jewish identity.
2. A book read as an adult that impacted
or expresses their Jewish identity.
3. One book (not necessarily Jewish) that they
believe everyone should read - a book that
changed their worldview.
4. A quick recommendation.
5. The author’s latest book.

“I think I just picked books that made me go, “I didn’t know we were allowed to do this, I didn’t know that we COULD do this.””
