I read a book when I was a kid about two girls that become best friends. One is Jewish, the other isn't.?

Question

They learn about each other's cultures, i.e. holiday celebrations, food, etc. One thing I do remember is the non-Jewish girl helping to make Matzoh ball soup. I think it was called something like Best Friends or My Best Friend. I would have read this book around 1972 or 1973. If this sounds familiar to anyone, please post an answer. Thank you!

Answer 1

Are you looking for a book but can't remember the title or author?

Answer 2

This may not be the one, but it has a similar theme, and looks good: Running on Eggs by Anna Levine. "Set in contemporary Israel, this thought-provoking first novel defines the problems a Jewish girl encounters when she befriends an Arab schoolmate. Although she has been raised to view Arabs as the enemy, 13-year-old Karen is drawn to her track teammate Yasmine, who shares her love of running."

Answer 3

If the book was set during the 40's and the Nazis were in control I would say it is A Friendship in Vienna.

Answer 4

"Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, perhaps?

Answer 5

Maybe it is "Jewish freindship"!
