New 🕎 book and 🇮🇱 event series

Hot Jewish Hanukkah book, Israeli dinner series, Kugels and Komedians!

Sunday, Nov. 5, 2023

Hi! I hope you had a great weekend. I had a wonderful belated bday celebration and watched the marathon, which is always so inspiring! I have some quick, exciting announcements. My latest book, "Hot Jewish Hanukkah," is ready to pre-order. And if you're in NYC, I'm starting a new Israeli dinner series, and, I'm hosting a Kugels and Komedians comedy show on Thursday, Nov. 16. Spreading Jewish joy and community feels more important than ever now. 💙

If you're new here, hi! I'm Danielle, a marketer, writer, and artist doodling about her life (@danielleindoodles) and Jewish things (@jewsindoodles). This newsletter, sent most Sundays (and sometimes not on Sundays), has new cartoons and updates on what I'm working on in both worlds. I love producing this newsletter and appreciate you following!

New book alert: Hot Jewish Hanukkah

The book is done and available for preorder! I can't wait for people to see it. My co-writer, Michael (aka Hot Jewish Energy) and I retell the story of Hanukkah as a graphic novel with Jewish personalities and influencers as the characters. It's a hilarious, fun-filled, adult guide to Hanukkah, that's meaningful, too. It also has holiday traditions and tips from the "cast," recipes, blessings, the rules to "Strip Dreidel," a gift guide (preview here), and more. Check out the listing for more! Pre-order now, or order on Amazon on 11/15.

Introducing: NYC Israeli Dinner series

My friend Kara and I go to a quarterly dinner in Chinatown to meet new people and support the business owners. I thought should do the same thing to support Israeli restaurants. This will be a dinner series at a different Israeli restaurant each time with a curated menu. Open to all, $50 cash for meal + tax/tip. The first one is Tues., Nov 21 at Lashevet UES.

More bday fun

I have no new cartoons, so I thought I'd end with some more bday pics :) After so much work on the book and heaviness with Israel, it was really nice to let loose with my friends and eat cake! Of course, I brought my doodle cutouts.

I'm doing a lot with the book and trying to find a venue for a launch party, doing a photoshoot with my cowriter Tuesday, recording a Mitzvah or Shandah podcast with comedian Erik Angel from our September show later this month, and drawing a poster for "Paw-nukah" in San Francisco. Lots going on! Reach out with any comments, feedback, questions, etc. I love hearing from everyone :)
