You Don't Have to be Jewish...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It would be particularly useful for someone marrying into a Jewish family or someone with a Jewish friend. Certainly there are a lot of funny stories, many of which are so old that Moses might have told one to Aaron, but still funny. There is a lot of information about holidays and traditions. There are recipes-but be warned that every family has its own idea about food preparations. I can still hear my husband say, "Fluffy matzoh balls? Whoever heard of fluffy matzoh balls?" This book has a lot crammed into it and could be considered an adventure in meeting another culture, one I'm glad to say has a unique sense of humor.

My mother loved it!

I gave this to my mother for mother's day and she couldn't stop laughing. The food bits were especially funny for her, as she's always baking and shipping food to me and all my siblings. The book is very funny and I'd recommend it to anybody who has a mother.

You don't have to be Jewish to love this

I bought this book for a converted sister-in-law so she would know how to properly guilt and nag her kids (kidding). But I always read every book I gift first so I can truly recommend it and this one is a real find! Humorous and informative! I love it. It's so full of motherly warmth, too. An awesome book for any mom.
