Overview

Modern Jews have forgotten cherished traditions and become, sadly, all-too assimilated. It's enough to make you meshugeh. Today's Jews need to relearn the old ways so that cultural identity means something other than laughing knowingly at Curb Your Enthusiasm - and The Big Jewish Book for Jews is here to help. This wise and wise-cracking book offers invaluable instruction on everything from how to sacrifice a lamb unto the Lord to the rules of Mah-jong. Jews of all ages and backgrounds will welcome this opportunity to be the Jewiest Jew of all.
