Author Jonathan Safran Foer (he of Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) puts out books that are among New York’s de rigeur subway reading. A recent film adaptation of Everything staring Elijah Wood and Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz turned out to be a modest hit. Meanwhile, JSF has been keeping busy with freelance projects.

Among them is this beautifully designed Beginner’s Guide to Hanukkah in today’s Times. Happy holidays, everyone!
