I couldn’t wait to arrange a Blog Talk Radio interview with my friend Roberta Scher of KosherEye.com to get the inside scoop on their top 10 picks from the show this year. If you are not familiar with Kosherfest, according to the show’s producer, more than 6700 attended Kosherfest with a 17% increase in key buyers. Why are these numbers so high? Industry statistics show that the current kosher customer is 40 and under, and looking for gourmet, upscale and healthy kosher products. According to several sources*, the number of kosher consumers in the U.S. tops 12,100,000, and 21% of Americans who regularly or occasionally purchase kosher products do so because the items are kosher-certified. There are approximately 10,650 kosher producing companies and plants, there are 125,000 kosher certified products, 40% of kosher sales occur on the eve of Passover, 19,000 is the average number of kosher products in US supermarkets, and the dollar value of kosher products produced in the USA is $305,000,000,000. While many of the exhibitors still featured traditional kosher foods such as pickles, pastrami and challah, it was the variety and newness of products that attracted industry professionals from all over the globe, and caught the attention of buyers from SuperValue, Wegman’s, Safeway, Wakefern/Shoprite, Winn-Dixie, HEB, Stew Leonards, COSTCO, Wal-mart, A&P, Kehe Foods, Kroger, Acme and Key Foods, among many other top food purveyors. So, join our show today and get the inside scoop on more than just kosher food your bubbie used to make. Roberta and I will take you into the 21st Century of kosher food.

I saw this title and I just had to interview Steven Lee Beeber. "The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's: A Secret History of Jewish Punk." is based in part on the recent interviews with more than 125 people —among them Tommy Ramone, Chris Stein (Blondie), Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), Hilly Kristal (CBGBs owner), and John Zorn—this book focuses on punk’s beginnings in New York City to show that punk was the most Jewish of rock movements, in both makeup and attitude. As it originated in Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the early 1970s, punk rock was the apotheosis of a Jewish cultural tradition that found its ultimate expression in the generation born after the Holocaust. Beginning with Lenny Bruce, “the patron saint of punk,” and following pre-punk progenitors such as Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman, Suicide, and the Dictators, this fascinating mixture of biography, cultural studies, and musical analysis delves into the lives of these and other Jewish punks—including Richard Hell and Joey Ramone—to create a fascinating historical overview of the scene. Reflecting the irony, romanticism, and, above all, the humor of the Jewish experience, this tale of changing Jewish identity in America reveals the conscious and unconscious forces that drove New York Jewish rockers to reinvent themselves—and popular music. I am thrilled to speak with Steven L Beeber this morning.

That is what I am trying to find out in my interview with Josh Braff about his new novel, Peep Show. Set in the gritty world of Times square in the 1970s and the restricted community of New York's ultra-orthodox, Peep Show follows seventeen-year-old budding photographer David Arbus as he negotiates his way between his divorced parents, his own desires, and his future. David's newly orthodox mother is trying to erase her past. His father, who runs an adult theater, is struggling to maintain his dignity in a less than savory business. Joshua Braff perfectly captures the crazy and often unwitting selfishness to which parents subject their kids, and he strips away the curtains of these two closed worlds. As David peeps through the spaces in the screen that divides the men from the women in Hasidic homes, we can't help but think of his father's imperial Theatre. Here's novel evidence that all the world really is a stage-it's only a matter of which costume you choose to wear. Joshua Braff grew up in South Orange, New Jersey and graduated from Columbia High School. He received his undergraduate degree in education from NYU and his MFA in creative writing at St. Mary's College in California. His debut novel The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green was a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller, a 2004 Barnes & Noble New Writer's Choice, a Booklist Top 10 Novel, and a Quill Award nominee.00:30:00JewishShmoozNetworknoJosh Braff,Kosher,Hasidic,Baale Teshuva,JewishCan a novel about sexuality and religion possibly be kosher?

SOME GIRLS traces Lauren’s life from growing up in a Jewish family in suburban New Jersey, to living with artist friends in a gritty East Village apartment, to her arrival in an art filled, gilded palace in Borneo. After dropping out of NYU theater school, Lauren follows a tip about upcoming audition, where a “casting director” promises a rich businessman in Singapore will pay American girls $20,000 to stay for two weeks and spice up his parties. Soon, it is revealed that Lauren, and a host of other international beauties, will spend time entertaining the charming, yet taciturn, Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei and his entourage. It’s been eighteen years since Lauren embarked on her exotic search for identity and acceptance in Brunei. With SOME GIRLS, she portrays the complexity of the experience and presents readers with more than just a salacious page-turner, but a story of resilience, redemption and forgiveness. She poignantly traces how a struggling teenager learned to believe in herself, find the courage to meet her birth mother, and eventually adopt a baby boy. Jillian Lauren was on ABC’s “THE VIEW” on May 3rd. Lauren currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Weezer bassist, Scott Shriner and their son Tariku. 00:45:00JewishShmoozNetworknoJillian Lauren,Jewish,Sultan,Harem,New YorkWhen I sat down to read this book, I had no idea how a nice Jewish girl from New Jersey ended up in a Harem.

My own Jewish mother,my sister, and matzo ball soup. That is why I am so excited to interview Jill and Lisa (sisters) and Gloria (their Jewish mother) on Blog Talk Radio. Their book, "Secrets of a Jewish Mother" is flying off the shelves, as moms of all backgrounds can relate to the wisdom of a Jewish mother. What is a Jewish mother, or family get together, without a bowl of fluffy matzo ball soup? Join me and Beth Rosen as we find out what Jill, Lisa, and Gloria serve-up for their regular family get togethers, especially during the High Holidays in the fall and at Passover in the springtime. Book Description: The Jewish Mother knows what she wants. And what you should want too. In Secrets of a Jewish Mother, you'll learn how to make her methods your very own, and as result you'll give and get of love and happiness in great amounts. In what could be thought of as the Jewish Mother's Guide to Life, Jill Zarin, the breakout star of Bravo's hit series, The Real Housewives of New York, teams up with her sister, Lisa Wexler, award-winning host of daily radio program The Lisa Wexler Show, and her mother, the estimable Gloria Kamen who made a splash on Jill's series last year. Secrets of a Jewish Mother shows readers that being clear about what you want is the best policy, and standing up for yourself and your family is always the right way to go. Using real life examples, stories from Jill, Lisa and Gloria, this mother/daughter trio reveals their secrets to life, love, and happiness. And, remember, a lot of love and a little matzoh ball soup never hurt anyone. 01:00:00JewishShmoozNetworknoJill Zarin,Lisa Wexler,Real Housewives of New York,Secrets of a Jewish Mother,Jewish CookingWhen I heard the title of this book I thought about two things.

Who is the kosher consumer? According to reports on the kosher consumer, 1,250,000 is the number of year Round Kosher Jewish Consumers and 3,000,000 is the total number of Muslims and other religions eating kosher products. Why are non-Jewish people also kosher consumers? 55% feel that a kosher certified product is healthier and safer. More than 500 newly kosher certified foods were introduced at the 21st annual kosher food, beverage, wine & spirits trade show – Kosherfest 2009 – at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, NJ last week.

They are among more than 120,000 kosher certified items, and additional items are on the way. More than 500 newly kosher certified foods will be introduced at the 21st annual kosher food, beverage, wine & spirits trade show – Kosherfest 2009 – at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, NJ October 27-28, 2009 (www.kosherfest.com). According to the Mintel Research Organization, kosher remains the most dominant feature on new food items and an estimated 40% of a supermarket’s food products are kosher. According to Rabbi Eliyahu Safran, V.P. Communications and Marketing for the Orthodox Union (OU) kosher certifying agency, “In the past year there has been significant increase in the number of inquiries and applications by many food companies about OU certification despite the ongoing recession. The companies are well aware that attaining kosher certification can easily increase sales and gain a larger market share. We have particularly noted a spike in applications from every segment of the beverage, baking and organic food categories. Join this show as I interview some of the newest kosher certified food and beverage items. You don't have to be Jewish to love kosher food, but you can be Health Conscious, Gluten-Free, and Lactose intolerant.

Mama Doni About Her New CD, Chanukah FeverDoni Zasloff Thomas, a.k.a. Mama Doni, is the lead singer/songwriter in The Mama Doni Band. Doni’s “wacky, Jewish indie-rock band for kids” (Carrie Stetler, The Star-Ledger) won the Simcha Award for “Inspiring Joy Through Music” in competition with more than 100 bands from 15 different countries at the 2008 International Jewish Music Festival in Amsterdam. Quirky, zany, off-beat, and unpredictable, The Mama Doni Band expands the horizons of traditional Jewish music with a contagious and unexpected blend of reggae, rock, disco, Latin, klezmer and “Jewgrass” – all woven together with a hip Jewish sensibility. In a spirit of outrageous fun, Mama Doni brings her special brand of “funky music with a Jewish twist” to this year’s holiday season, with the release of a new CD, Chanukah Fever. The album is resplendent with Mama Doni’s signature wild and wacky style, about which kids’ media authority Amy Kraft enthused, “We were all laughing out loud … Listen as Mama Doni spreads around some challah-day spirit in her inimitable cross between Sheryl Crow and Tone Loc.” Chanukah Fever will be released on November 24. Doni Zasloff Thomas, “Part Weird Al’ Yankovic (for the hilarious and surprisingly insightful lyrics), part Sarah Silverman (but much cleaner and only the parts of Sarah’s show where she innocently sings her little heart out), and that adorable mom down the street who manages to wear bright red lipstick and cute track suit to put out the recycling at 6 a.m.” 00:30:00JewishShmoozNetworknoMama Doni,Jewish,Kids,Indie-Rock,Chanukah FeverDoni Zasloff Thomas, a.k.a.

Dahlia was greatly inspired by the music and teachings of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, who used his soul music to teach, inspire, and bring all people together. In college and after, Dahlia started to perform for women and have concerts/sing-alongs where she would share jewish mystical teachings and sing many melodies of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, as well as other Jewish soul music. In 2005, Dahlia completed her doctorate in clinical psychology and became the psychologist at The Horace Mann Lower School where she often used her creativity and music in her work with children. Dahlia also started the first Jewish mommy and me music and movement class, Kol Nearim/Voice of Children, in Riverdale, NY, together with her friend Jenny Sassoon (who plays percussions on the album!). All the lyrics on this album, Kol Nearim/Voice of Children, were originally written by Dahlia for her music class. Seeing how well the children and parents responded to the songs, Dahlia decided it was time to record her first album. Dahlia now resides in New Orleans where she, her husband Rabbi Uri Topolosky, and their two songs Elyon and Itai, are helping to rebuild and revive Beth Israel, a synagogue destroyed by Katrina. *A % of proceeds will go to post Katrina efforts in helping rebuild the Jewish community of New Orleans!!! 00:30:00JewishShmoozNetworknoTahlia Topolosky,Kol Nearim,Carlebach,Music,KidsDahlia Topolosky wrote and produced her first album Kol Nearim/Voice of Children for children and parents where children learn the traditional Jewish melodies oJoin Our Shmooze With Love Coach Robin Gorman Newman On Finding A Mensch http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jewishshmooznetwork/2009/09/18/Join-Our-Shmooze-With-Love-Coach-Robin-Gorman-Newman-On-Finding-A-MenschRomancehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/jewishshmooznetwork/2009/09/18/Join-Our-Shmooze-With-Love-Coach-Robin-Gorman-Newman-On-Finding-A-Mensch/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/jewishshmooznetwork/2009/09/18/Join-Our-Shmooze-With-Love-Coach-Robin-Gorman-Newman-On-Finding-A-MenschFri, 18 Sep 2009 00:30:00 GMTJoin Our Shmooze With Love Coach Robin Gorman Newman On Finding A Mensch Finding a Mensch : Whether you're a man or a woman, finding a mensch isn't always easy.
