My friend wrote a book and it’s really good! Why did it take me so long to read it?

Hot Rabbi by Aviva Blakeman

October 30, 2022 by Malin 1 Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Hot (hot features in the title, and a lot of the contents are also decidedly spicy) Official book description: For fifteen years, Shoshana Goldman has avoided her childhood synagogue. Her successful custom-furniture store keeps her busy enough, and the synagogue brings bad memories not peace. It will take nothing short of a minor miracle to change her mind.

She is a dear friend and knew that I would need something to occupy my time while Hurricane Delta passed overhead – and boy was she right about that. The wind, oh my God, the wind. FOR HOURS.
