| 1. |  | The Saturday Wife from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $11.16 Customer Review:  This book is a hysterically funny put down of a certain type of modern Orthodox Jewish congregation. Those who think the satire is pointed at them may feel scandalized and insulted, but I say if you can't laugh at yourself, then pretend you're laughing at others. |

| 2. |  | The Covenant from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $4.99 Customer Review:  The virulent ant-semitism from the Arabs (for lack of a better word) is expected, but that of the journalist and her ilk is so distasteful and extreme as to appear over the top. Her crass report on the kidnapping was difficult to read through. But, are there people like that in today's world? No... |

| 3. |  | Women's Minyan from Toby Press Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I love the author's writing, and her play was no exception. Good window to view a discordant side of what it can mean to be Jewish. |

| 4. |  | The Sacrifice of Tamar (Readers Guide Editions) from Toby Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  The writing in this novel is exquisite. However, any reader who isn't familiar with the Orthodox Judaism will need a road map, a cultural dictionary and a Yiddish-speaking tour guide if they want to understand the book. The time line is also confusing as the story jumps back and forth between the... |

| 5. |  | The Ghost of Hannah Mendes from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  I really wanted to like this book. This book had a lot of potential - it was about a family trying to understand the actions of a heroic anscestor (Gracia Mendes) at the time of the Spanish and Portuguese inquisitions. Naomi Ragen could hardly have found a better backdrop for this novel. Gracia... |

| 6. |  | Sotah (Readers Guide Editions) from Toby Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: There's no rule that says literature needs to be uplifting and positive, but there's also got to be a compelling reason for the reader to keep turning the page. Author Naomi Ragen provides essentially a one-sided and highly critical view of a tiny subset of religious Jewish life. Very few... |

| 7. |  | Jephte's Daughter (Readers Guide Editions) from Toby Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I bought this book on a whim while in Israel, having forgot to pack anything to read on my vacation. Pluses: Ragen knows how to keep the plot moving, and the book provides some insight into the world of the ultra-orthodox. Minuses: Awkward, occasionally excrutiating writing, huge plot holes, and... |

| 8. |  | Chains Around the Grass from Toby Press Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I really like Naomi Regan's books, but this one is an exception. The story is told of a family that goes from lower middle class to extreme poverty. The book seems to focus on just how horrible life is without money. The only bright note in the entire story is when it focuses on the middle child who... |
