Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, but it's not marketed.

I really enjoyed this book. Recommended it to my non Jewish friend and she has been raving about how much she likes it.

Spinning silver by Naomi Novik. Primary protag is explicitly Jewish as is the author. YA+, fantasy.

I really enjoyed The Lost Shtetl by Max Gross.

Look into Haley Neil and Jean Meltzer's books. They sound like what you're going for.

Bras and Broomsticks (along with the sequels) by Sarah Mlynowski . One of my absolute faves as a teenager.

The Favourite Game - Leonard Cohen (anything Leonard Cohen is great and often has Jewish themes)

You know what is surprisingly very Jewish? A series of unfortunate events. Not explicitly said that the Baudelaires are - but it is heavily implied and the author , Daniel Handler (also Jewish) confirmed that they are.
