“A one-of-a-kind book about a one-of-a-kind business in a one-of-a-kind city, Café Shira presents a nuanced, humorous, and fascinating picture of humanity set in a renowned café in the heart of Jerusalem. . . . Café Shira is a pointed and unusual look at the ways people live their lives. What shows on the surface can be a hint to, or a complete misdirection of, the emotions, thoughts, and dreams that others cannot see.”—Michal Hoschander Malen, Jewish Book Council
