Reminiscent of a darker Steel Magnolias, The Kiddush Ladies follows Naomi, Becky, and Myriam-—three women whose tight-knit Jewish community of home-spun support has sustained their life-long bond.
Life-long Jewish friends Naomi, Miriam, and Becky are approaching middle-age gracefully and are content—despite a few hot flashes and mood swings—until life tosses each woman a crisis and a dusty discovery delivers a potentially lethal blow to their friendship. While two of the women fight to save the relationship, one desires nothing more than its complete demise.
Excerpt
This feud between her two best friends was killing her. She had to find a way to bring them back together…
Naomi picked up the phone and dialed.
“Hello.”
Wonderful, no voicemail, Becky actually answered.
“I’m so sorry, Becky. I didn’t mean to make you cry.”
“I know, Naomi.”
“Please, tell me what’s going on. Believe me, when I say this, Miriam has no idea why you’re angry. If she knew what was bothering you, she could either apologize or explain herself.”
“Too late for that, and no apology will ever be enough,” Becky said.
“This is so absurd. I don’t have words for it.”
“Naomi, I don’t want to talk about this. Miriam and I are no longer friends, nor is there an icicle’s chance in hell, we’ll ever be friends again. If there was another or-thodox shul in the neighborhood, I’d go there just to avoid seeing her face every week.”
Stunned was the only word to describe Naomi’s reac-tion to the poison Becky just dropped on her. “Becky, this is horrible. You can’t mean any of it.”
“Yes, I do, and don’t ever bring it up again. Further-more, she’s not coming to my only son’s wedding.”
The phone went dead, but a few moments passed be-fore Naomi removed it from her ear and set it on the kitchen countertop. She yanked open the sliding glass door, walked across the deck, and leaned against the cold wooden railing, unable to comprehend Becky’s tirade.
