This collection of non-fiction covers Anita Diamant’s work on Jewish customs and family life. Her earliest books focus on practical matters like planning a Jewish wedding and choosing a baby name, while later titles address broader questions about raising children, mourning, and choosing to convert.

Diamant has revised and updated several of these books over the decades. The New Jewish Baby Book expanded her earlier guide, and The Jewish Wedding Now brought her classic wedding handbook into the modern era. Her more personal writing includes Pitching My Tent, a memoir-like essay collection about life, faith, and community.
