Customer Reviews

It's been used for so long the book is in pieces.

My son is 19. I've been using the same book since he was two. I must admit I use it mainly for Hanukkah. I'm making latkes tonight. They are great. I strongly recommend this title.

Very Good Book!!!

This book is not for those who are seeking to convert to Judiasm. But the book IS great for explaining the holidays in greater, easy to read and understand, detail. It includes recipes and suggestions that are practical and easy-to-follow. For answers to questions I pick up "To Be A Jew", but for more information about a holiday - this is the book!!!

It's like "Being Jewish for Dummies"

I love this book as a reference guide. It is loaded with recipes, anecdotes, songs, and valuable information.
