While Rubin hopes that readers will . . incorporate various poems, stories, or essays . . . into their own 'celebration' of the holdiays, I think the anthology could also be used as the starting point for discussions of Jewish identity, family relationships and community issues. Lovers of Jewish literature will find it an excellent introduction to a wide variety of Jewish writing styles, while the Biographic Notes will help them place the writers in historical perspective. --The Reporter (Vestal, NY)
