Tips When Giving a Book

Depending on the book, you might also want to see if they like it and then offer to:

(i) Read it together with them. (This works best for books that have short chapters (Rabbi Pliskins's books, What the Angel Taught You, Triumph, Israel, or the Stone Chumash). e.g. 15 minutes a week over the phone.

Or . . .

(ii) Touch base with them to discuss it because you are reading it as well!

However,

(iii) Be careful not to come across as pushy or with an agenda. If you are concerned about that, just give the book and then see if they like it.

(iv) Minimally ask them if they read it. If not, tell them you are looking forward to hearing what they think of it!

(v) Then ask them what they thought about it, what they liked etc, which can lead to meaningful conversations

(vi) If they liked the book, follow up with the next one!
