Interview #2 for The Emoji Haggadah

The Emoji Haggadah train keeps on rollin'.

Banji Ganchrow of The Jewish Standard asked some thorough questions, and she makes me seem like a smarty-pants professor who understands pictorial communication historically. Maybe I do, just a bit, but really, I was just having fun.

The article is quite nice. Please enjoy:

My First Book Review for The Emoji Haggadah

My first official book review for The Emoji Haggadah is in, from Rabbi Jack Abramowitz at the Orthodox Union. It is wonderful, and highly complimentary - of me!; not to mention of the book!

Summary:

1) This is way outside of the box.
2) I'm prolific, and a multi-trick pony. Who knew?
3) Certain people must have this book.
4) It belongs at your seder table, if not your coffee table (just don't get chometz on it).

But read for yourself:

You Like? My Book? Gee Thanks, or Interview with the Jewish Week

Steve Lipman of The Jewish Week had a word with me and produced a piece that a) makes me sound much smarter than I am, b) really gets into the bolts of it, and c) captures the history of The Emoji Haggadah quite nicely.

It's also a good read. Please enjoy.

My daughter is quoted as well, so in her honor, and with apologies to Ariana Venti:

You like?
My book?
Gee thanks.
I wrote it.

Your friends?
They like it.
They want it.
They get it.

Love you, babydoll! Thank you, Steve!:

Thank you, Ben and YItz, and in the immortal words of Oliver Twist, please sir, I want some more.

Thank you!

The Emoji Haggadah is the #1 Jewish Book on Amazon

The Emoji HaggadahWell, it took just about a year, but The Emoji Haggadah has finally climbed to the #1 Haggadah on Amazon.

But wait, there's more! Judging by the categories it's #1 in (5, and counting), it's safe to argue that it's the #1 Jewish book on Amazon.

My book. Mine. The one I wrote. I'm so happy.

It's possible that this website's post did the trick: https://bargainboutiquedeals.com/2020...

It's also possible that its presence at the The Seforim Sale shone a big spotlight on it: theseforimsale.com/products/the-emoji...

It's also possible that the book simply speaks for itself (by not "speaking" at all!).
