(Jewish Group) Dvora Hacohen, Joshua Cohen, Dara Horn win big at the 2021 National Jewish Book Award

Dvora Hacohen’s biography of Hadassah founder Henriette Szold won two honors, including Jewish Book of the Year, from the Jewish Book Council in their annual awards list.

“To Repair a Broken World: The Life of Henrietta Szold, Founder of Hadassah,” which includes a forward by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, also was named best biography. The 2021 National Jewish Book Awards were announced Thursday by the JBC.

“Hacohen portrays the relentless passion of Szold, who devoted her life to creating opportunities both for Jewish women and the disadvantaged, as she sought to not only empower women, but also to foster a spirit of social cohesion and equality,” the council said in a news release.

Other prominent winners included Joshua Cohen, Dara Horn, Jai Chakrabarti, Judy Batalion and Esther David.

I have read People Love Dead Jews: Reports From a Haunted Present by Dara Horn. READ IT! Let me say this one more time....READ IT!

I am interested in Ester David's book, Bene Appétit: The Cuisine of Indian Jews as it sounds interesting, though I am not a big fan of Indian cuisine, I am not familiar with the Jewish versions. Anyone here knowledgeable about it?

Looks like I will be using up some more Audible/Kindle credits.
