Ring the doorbell on the house next door and you\’ll find yourself invited into a cozy Jewish home — family pictures and menorah on the shelves; Shabbat candles and a tzedakah box atop the dresser. Further down the block is Bubbe\’s Bookstore, filled with children\’s books and a puppet theater. For spiritual nourishment, there\’s the synagogue down the block.

Or, hey, take it to go and picnic underneath the giant oak tree down the street.
