Dina, Is the book of short stories that you were referring to called, *With All My Heart With All My Mind: Thirteen Stories About Growing up Jewish? *It was edited by Sandy Asher.
The book has some stories that teens can relate to. It was published in 1999 and we are definitely in need of some updated works of literature for young adults. Thanks for sharing.
