Many will celebrate Passover by zoom this year because of the Pandemic. And, there will definitely be no large communal seders. Nevertheless, since you're home and Passover lasts for eight days, you should have plenty of time to read several of these books. Most are available as eBooks from your library, other eBook sites, or favorite independent bookstores. This is an updated list, but, as always, let me know any missing titles.

A really interesting list, as always. But, please remember that "is" is a verb, and should be capped in titles, so "Murder Is No Mitzvah," etc.
Many thanks.
