One Book, One Hadassah: "Marjorie Morningstar" and Other Essential Reads for Jewish Women

When you ask many Jewish women about a book they particularly cherish, Marjorie Morningstar is often one of the top responses. But why is that the case? What about this particular book speaks to generations of Jewish women? And what other books are considered must-reads?

These questions were raised in the latest One Book, One Hadassah book discussion presented by Hadassah Magazine. Moderator Sandee Brawarsky, an award-winning journalist and author, discussed Marjorie Morningstar and other favorites across the generations with a distinguished panel of authors, including Rachel Kadish, author of The Weight of Ink; Nessa Rapoport, author of Evening; and Paula Marantz Cohen, author of Of Human Kindness: What Shakespeare Teaches Us About Empathy.
