  8. Meet David Adler, Author of Yom Kippur Shortstop

    Meet David Adler, Author of Yom Kippur Shortstop

    Award-winning author David Adler has written more than 250 book in his 40+ year writing career, including Hanukkah Cookies with Sprinkles. His latest story is Yom Kippur Shortstop, newly published by Apples & Honey Press. 

    What was the inspiration for Yom Kippur Shortstop?

    I’ve always been a baseball fan. I grew up in New York, and Sandy Koufax's decision in 1965 not to pitch in the World Series because the game fell on Yom Kippur was a really big deal. But 1965 is history, it's not current events. To tell the story of Sandy wasn’t as intriguing as trying to make it more relatable. I did this by focusing on how Jews have choices all the time - whether to take off work for holidays, for example.

    Dr. Ruth, Author of Our New Book, to Appear on GMA

    Dr. Ruth Westheimer, author of the forthcoming Roller Coaster Grandma, will appear on Good Morning America this Friday to promote the book.

    Coming February 1 from Apples & Honey Press, Roller-Coaster Grandma: The Amazing Story of Dr. Ruth depicts the ups and downs of Dr. Ruth's life. Set in a graphic novel format for ages 8-12, it recounts her escape from the Nazis at age 10 aboard a Kindertransport, to training as a sniper with the Hagganah in Israel, through her immigration to the U.S. where she started as a maid, became a college professor, and eventually a television star. Using a trip to an amusement park with her grandchildren as its framework, the story subtly demonstrates lessons of grit, resilience, and strength that readers can apply to their own lives.
