Join Dr. Barbara Vinick for an interactive and exploration of diverse Jewish brides from around the world.  With stories from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, this collection of personal testimonies will surprise and inspire. A Jewish wedding after conversion in Madagascar, a reunion of Holocaust survivors in Sweden, a shipboard romance initiated by a celebrity - these stories from 83 countries describe Jewish wedding traditions, some familiar and others eye-opening, in a multitude of cultures and settings, past and present.

Purchase a copy of the book HERE and support our local independent bookstores in the Berkshires.
