A collection of original stories by acclaimed author Rabbi Zoe Klein, Candle, Feather,
Wooden Spoon invites readers on a magical, mystical journey. With settings both
traditional and contemporary, the stories each highlight an essential aspect of living a
meaningful Jewish life. Appropriate for all ages, the many tales include "Time Palace,"
a legend of how the Jewish people created Shabbat; "Yofiel," the story of an angel
who keeps revealing the secrets of Torah; "Shalom Bayit," imagining the chuppah as
a metaphor for powerful social change; and "Candle, Feather, Wooden Spoon,"
which reframes these traditional Passover objects as tools for intergenerational healing.
Whether you're a rabbi, cantor, or educator-the storytellers of our community-or just
a lover of stories, this book is sure to stir your heart and inspire your spirit.
