When Dinner Done first hit the shelves, it became more than a cookbook — it was a lifesaver for busy home cooks. With over 100,000 copies sold, it transformed dinnertime in kosher homes everywhere.

Now, the Between Carpools team — the women who understand real life in the kitchen — are back with Dinner Done 2, the sequel fans have been waiting for.

The beauty of Dinner Done 2 lies in its simplicity. Every recipe uses ingredients you already have, such as chicken cutlets, pasta, vegetables, pantry staples, and turns them into dinners your family will actually love. No complicated steps. No specialty shopping. Just smart, practical recipes that work every single time. These are dishes that come together easily, taste incredible, and look beautiful because great food doesn’t have to be hard.

The first Dinner Done made 9×13-pan dinners a staple in kosher kitchens. Dinner Done 2 takes it even further, with more one-pan wonders that save time and cleanup while delivering big flavor.

With over 140 new recipes, Dinner Done 2 is packed with fresh, family-friendly ideas for every taste — even the picky ones. Each recipe is tested and reliable, bringing confidence back to your kitchen and smiles to your table.

In their heartfelt introduction, the Between Carpools team shares that Dinner Done 2 is their way of saying thank you to the thousands of cooks who embraced the first book. “We wanted to make dinner easier,” they write, “but we realized it became much more — it gave people joy and connection.”

And that’s what Dinner Done 2 delivers again — practical, delicious recipes that make cooking feel achievable and meaningful, every single night.

Dinner Done 2 — Easy prep. No stress. Dinner Done.

AS: Rav Nota’s name was a household word in some parts of the United States, and unknown in others. For those who don’t recognize the name, tell us a little about his life and achievements.

SB: Nota Greenblatt was born in 1925. From a young age he demonstrated brilliance and incredible diligence in his learning. He learned under many of the 20th century’s greatest rabbanim, and he became exceptionally close to Rav Moshe Feinstein. Though he lived in the quiet Jewish community in Memphis, his genius and devotion to Klal Yisrael soon became clear, and he became a much sought-after posek. A member      of the elite “million mile travel club,”  he spanned continents to help Jews, whether to release a woman whose husband wouldn’t give her a get, to ensure that a Jewish child wherever he was would have a proper bris milah, or to help and give chizuk to a Jewish prisoner, a suffering family, or a beloved talmid.

AS: Did Rav Nota ever discuss why he was satisfied living in a quiet southern Jewish community, far from the Torah centers?

SB: As we see from literally hundreds of stories about him, Rav Nota made it very clear that a person must do what he can to help Klal Yisrael and make a difference. It was obvious to him that he could make a greater difference in a community that has fewer resources than do the larger Jewish centers, and so he was perfectly content with living in Memphis. He saw it as his life’s mission. 

AS: What were the unique challenges that you faced in writing this biography?

SB: Locating interviewees! Rav Nota travel     ed all over the world and there was no real way to know who on Earth (literally) had interactions with him. It was a challenging search, but we succeeded in reaching many of the countless people whom he helped.

AS: What are some lessons we can learn from Rav Nota’s life?

SB: The main takeaway, in my opinion, is the ability to take a step back from yourself. Rav Nota deserved so much honor and recognition and he pursued none of it. He gave of his time, his money, and his energy to help everyone who needed his help, anywhere, anytime.

With over 300,000 copies in print, Rabbi David Ashear’s Living Emunah series is arguably one of the greatest forces for strengthening emunah in today’s world. Where does it get its phenomenal power? Perhaps from the insights Rabbi Ashear shares, based solidly on our Torah sources, presented in a way that resonates in our lives. And, of course, the stories, true, authentic, relatable, that show us how to incorporate emunah into every aspect of life.

Living Emunah 7, the newest in the series, discusses topics such as reward and punishment, tefillah, the importance of shalom, hashgachah pratis, and much more — all examined through the prism of emunah. We’ll discover the power of teshuvah to make things better, and why honesty really is the best policy. And we will see the profound love that Hashem has for every one of us, even when we are being tested or challenged by suffering.

And stories — so many stories to engage and inspire us. A man faces a $200,000 surgery — that unexpectedly costs nothing! A woman takes care of an orphan, who repays his debt to her four decades later. A problem finding a parking space brings a six-year search for someone to an end. In story after story, we see Hashem’s Hand, the care and compassion He has for us, and His Presence in every part of our lives.

• Imagine yourself surrounded by family and friends, celebrating your siyum on Shisha Sidrei Mishnah.
• Imagine celebrating the Siyum Mishnayos together with your son or grandson, who has learned them with you.
• Imagine your feeling of accomplishment as you recite the Hadran, knowing you’ve been part of a worldwide learning program.
• And imagine … that you can reach this landmark in fewer than six years, by learning only two mishnayos each day!

You don’t have to imagine it. The 14th cycle of Mishnah Yomi begins Shabbos, 21 Teves (December 25, 2021) — and ArtScroll will help you be a part of it with an amazing offer:

Begin the new learning cycle of Mishnah Yomi — only 2 mishnayos each day — and receive a FREE Pocket Mishnayos Berachos from ArtScroll …

Plus — a free daily Mishnah Yomi calendar …

Plus — 30% off ALL SETS AND INDIVIDUAL VOLUMES OF ARTSCROLL’S THREE MISHNAYOS SERIES: The Schottenstein Edition Mishnah Elucidated, The Ryzman Edition Hebrew Mishnah, and the Yad Avraham Mishnah!

The concept of Mishnah Yomi goes back to 1934, when the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Meir Shapiro’s successor as Rosh Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, suggested adding the study of one mishnah a day in Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos to the Daf Yomi cycle, since there are no Gemara masechtos on those sedarim. In 1947, the idea was broadened to include all six Sidrei Mishnah — and the two-mishnayos-a-day initiative was born.

ArtScroll offers three different Mishnayos formats, each an incredible resource for those wanting to join Mishnah Yomi.

The Schottenstein Edition Mishnah Elucidated: Featuring a flowing translation and concise elucidation in the format of the Schottenstein Talmud, this edition is perfect for anyone seeking a clear, basic understanding of the Mishnah. It also includes in-depth notes for a deeper understanding, as well as the commentary of Rabbi Ovadiah Bartenura. 

The Ryzman Edition Hebrew Mishnah: Multilevel Hebrew-language elucidation of Mishnah. Each volume contains the full text of the Mishnah, the commentary of Rabbi Ovadia Bartenura, a phrase-by-phrase translation and elucidation in readable Hebrew, as well as expanded explanations of the Mishnah for a greater understanding of the p’shat.

ArtScroll Mishnah with the Yad Avraham Commentary: ArtScroll’s first Mishnah Series includes clear translation, diagrams and illustrations, and the Yad Avraham commentary covering a broad range of commentators.  

They’re all great. Pick the one that’s best for you and get started for your siyum!
