About The Five Books
The Five Books celebrates the role of books in our lives. Each week we’ll talk with a Jewish author about five books in five categories. We’ll hear about: two Jewish books that have impacted the author’s Jewish identity; one book (not necessarily Jewish) that they think everyone should read - a book that changed their worldview. We’ll get a peek into what book they're reading now, and we’ll hear the inside scoop on the new book they’ve just published. The Five Books creates a space for all listeners to explore what it means to live, write, and read as a Jewish American today.

[…] And that's a really interesting thing when you start to parse through why we are the way that we are because of the people who came before us. And it was like every new discovery was opening a door into a new story. I love that you also describe something that your grandmother said to you where it was three words, but they were each of a different language. Right. She always says, bye mi rohi. Bye in English, me in Spanish. Rohi is Arabic for my soul. Or she says, ciao mi rohi. We just speak in this very interesting mix of English, Spanish, Arabic, and Hebrew. And it's just really defining of who we are as people in our heritage. […]
