Even though I’ve been married for over 18 years, i make tons of mistakes when it comes to preparing for holidays and life events. I wish I had this book when I first got married to set me on the right track! Is not only practical, there are incredibly thoughtful details and stories that touch my heart and the core of the Jewish home. Rebekah has thought of ask those things you wish you knew so you can approach each moment with attention and sensitivity. Highly recommended for those just starting out and anyone well on their way!

Organized Jewish Life outlines all the particulars, and goes into the small details which make such a difference both in creating the simcha or chag you dream of, but also in getting through the preparations calmly. Rebekah gives tools to help at any lifecycle moment throughout the year. I love that she often includes unspoken topics (like mikvah) in ways that are practical, respectful and so necessary!

Rebekah Saltzman’s book is a work of art. The way she integrates the physical and spiritual, and the technical and experiential into a book that puts everything in order – it’s magnificent! I highly recommend this book.

New experiences, whether distressing or joyous, can throw us off balance. We may want to reach out for help and find that we don’t even know what to ask. Some subjects seem taboo, others are just uncomfortable and so we struggle alone. In Organized Jewish Life, Rebekah Chaifetz Saltzman provides a village of information with tips, checklists, and more. It’s like finding an older sister, confidante, and guide on your very own bookshelf.

As someone who is not naturally organized, this book is seriously helpful. Whether it’s a Jewish life cycle event, a holiday, or something life hits you with that you’re not exactly ready for, Rebekah has you covered. It’s a great reference book to keep on your shelf and use to help you organize and -deal with- life!

I was highly impressed with Rebekah Saltzman’s book, Organized Jewish Life. It’s exactly what the sub-title promises: The essential guide for planning Jewish holidays, events, and every day. However, this book really contains even more than that. Rebeka created sections on everything you can think of, literally, but then so much more. There’s even a section on how to get your paperwork in order, how to set up yourself for taxes and rent fees, and even a full checklist on what to look for in health and car insurance! She has a full chapter on “adulting”, and many more great ideas. I found this book to be quite comprehensive. Thank you Rebekah!

As Jewish women, we can easily bounce between project manager, event planner, educational expert, and personal organizer within the course of a day–and that’s not even counting our actual jobs! Organized Jewish Life is like having a smart, worldly big sister on your bookshelf to consult whenever you need it. Making Pesach? Setting up your kitchen? Packing a bag for the hospital? It’s all in there, making managing all these roles that much easier.

ABOUT THE BOOK

WOULDN’T IT BE NICE TO HAVE A CHECKLIST TO GUIDE YOU WHEN YOU AREN’T SURE WHAT TO DO?

After the death of her mother in 2020, personal organizer Rebekah Chaifetz Saltzman wished her family had had a checklist to help them navigate the shiva period.
