COOKBOOKS Cookbooks are more than a collection of recipes. They are a window onto the culture and traditions of a particular group at a given time. For NFTS/ WRJ, cookbooks are both part of the histories of individual sisterhoods as well as an important component of the organization’s reach. Sisterhoods create cookbooks to celebrate an event, honor a person, or commemorate a special anniversary. What unites them all is that these books have been written by women, for women who continue to use cooking as a way to pass Judaism and family traditions on to future generations. Due to the initiative of NFTS Past President Betty Eichenbaum Benjamin, the Klau Library of the Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion contains the largest number of WRJ cookbooks in a single facility. To date, the collection represents 33 states and the District of Columbia as well as Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, Panama, and Switzerland. Produced by WRJ and the AJA in honor of the WRJ’s Centennial wrj.org | americanjewisharchives.org Sponsored by: Sharon and Jack Benoff in honor of their children Gregory, Jared and Rebecca, and by Diane and Howard Kaplan in honor of their grandchildren.
