So much more than an idiot's guide! This is actually an impressively in-depth book on Judaism. Rabbi Blech is hilarious and extremely informative. Since beginning this book, I have unwittingly embarrassed several secular Jewish friends and co-workers by knowing more about Jewish traditions than them. I bought it because I thought I should know a little more about Judaism, and I now find myself learning a lot.

I thought the rabbi that wrote this was hysterical, which made it easier to read. I learned things about my religion/culture that I never knew reasons behind. The best part about it is you can turn to it for weddings, funerals/shivas, and any holiday to learn pretty much everything you need to know. Fell in love and was 100 times prouder of my religion and culture all over again!

A great reference book for the holidays and traditions...especially when my child asks "Why do we...?"
