On January 10, 2004 the Daily Camera reported, " A new generation of children who have become religious, also called the newly orthodox or newly observant — the Hebrew word is ba'alei Teshuvah — are causing turmoil at home. It's happening in the Christian world, too, with young adults turning to evangelism. But no where does the issue seem more controversial than in Judaism, with sacred laws about food (kosher laws) and leisure time on the weekends (Shabbat). Life can become difficult when you have observant and non-observant family members under the same roof...Linda Loewenstein knows this to be true. As executive director of Boulder's Jewish Community Center, she knows something about sharing space with Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Jews. As a Conservative Jew with a brother who became Orthodox, she lives in the midst of family conflict. Loewenstein has come out with a new book, 'Paper Plates: When Part of Your Family Keeps Kosher' (Jason Aronson Inc., $19.95) — a collection of personal essays from observant and non-observant family members and rabbis speaking on the pitfalls of keeping kosher and following God's commandments, while keeping the peace in the extended family."
