Book Festival: Brunch & Conversation: Rebekah Lowin

A Year of Jewish Joy: Inspired Recipes, Rituals, and Traditions for Beautiful Celebrations

Program includes brunch inspired by recipes from A Year of Jewish Joy, challah styling demonstration and author conversation.

Discover how to bring more joy, beauty and meaning to every celebration with Rebekah Lowin, the bestselling cookbook author and lifestyle expert affectionately dubbed the “Jewish Martha Stewart.” Far more than a cookbook, her guide pairs crowd-pleasing recipes—from challah boards and shakshuka to brisket, rugelach and festive holiday desserts—with creative tablescapes, hosting tips and meaningful Jewish traditions. Whether you’re planning Shabbat dinner, a holiday feast or a casual brunch, Lowin shows how to create memorable gatherings that are as welcoming and joyful as the food itself.
