We're Serious About Jewish Joy

Joy might sound like the fluffy, easy, and "nice to have" way of exploring Judaism. But what changes when joy is the intentional, critical centerpiece?  

From the smell of challah to a grandmother exclaiming, "What is this balagan?", Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath explores the seriousness of Jewish joy with authors Suzy Ultman and Amanda Kingloff.
