The People of the Book love books! Our tradition is based on the holiest book of all, The Torah. We avid readers go for a variety of other books as well, and on the “613 Books” podcast, we spotlight a different author every week in an interview hosted by veteran broadcast and podcast producer Heather Dean. Also in every episode, we are checking in with a variety of notable people who tell us what is on their own reading table!
If you love to read or write books geared to Jewish readers, this podcast is for you!
In this encore episode of “613 Books” Podcast, producer and host Heather Dean is joined by National Jewish Book Award-winner Sherri Mandell whose most recent book, The Kabbalah of Writing, explains how the 10 Sefirot (the channels of divine creative life force) can be used to develop your writing and give you the power to grow as a person and a writer. Sherri also shares her own painful yet poignant writing journey that grew from her personal anguish when her son Koby was murdered.
Plus, author and personal organization expert Rebekah Saltzman tells us what’s on her reading table.
