Chicken Soup for the Jewish Soul: 101 Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Soul

Health Communications' Inc.'s Chicken Soup series has hatched another chick, though this one is so superior to the usual round of ""chicken soup for the [insert your occupation or identity here]'s soul"" that it deserves special mention. Chicken Soup for the Jewish Soul: Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit, edited by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins, enhances the series' basic recipe with a few delicious matzo balls. Contributors include Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, Kirk Douglas, Rabbi Harold Kushner, Golda Meir, Anne Frank, George Burns, Ed Koch and a host of unknowns. Portions of the proceeds go to Hadassah and the National Yiddish Book Center.
