A review by ketutar
The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
4.0
Very nice, Jewish romance novel set during Hanukkah. I enjoyed the Jewishness sprinkled in the story. I had to ask my Jewish husband what some of it meant :-D
And I would still like to know what Rabbi Goldblatt thought of Irving Berlin writing Christmas music.
I didn't like the "let's just misunderstand and overreact and cause drama out of nothing when simple communication would solve everything" trope.
Oh, and to people, who gave this book one star and said "This book glorifies the murders of Palestinians. Seriously disgusting and dehumanizing."
You are lying. This book is about a Jewish event in New York, and doesn't even mention things happening in Israel, Palestinians, or Palestine, and no-one was murdered. Do you go around leaving one star comments on all books written by and about Jewish people?
