Customer Reviews

Can be used as a reference book

I loved the author's wit as she told of her experiences with her son. I will keep this book to help me be prepared for more religious guests.

A Gentile Point of View

What a delightful book! I only wish I'd been able to read something like this years ago. It would have helped me so much in understanding more about my Orthodox Jewish friends. It would have even been helpful in understanding more about my Reform Jewish friends. Now that I HAVE read it, I will be much more cognizant of the traditions and laws of Judaism. A great book for anyone interested in learning more about Judaism, without getting bogged down in a heavy, complicated learning process. Just a purely enjoyable and informative book.

Get the "4ll" on the Hard Core Jewish People

As the mother of a Hard Core Jewish son who started this journey 8 years ago, I am so glad Margery Schwartz has written this book. It is so needed and would have made my education of this world so much simpler if it would have been available earlier, but thankfully it has arrived. Not only is it a resource book to guide you through this new and foreign landscape if you are not a "hardcore" but it is an amusing and sassy story that is so right on and keeps you entertained from beginning to end. I strongly recommend it for anyone who is interested in learning about this slice of life, or is actually living it and needs a helpful guide to make it through the day.

Laugh and Learn

Margery Schwartz has written a great book, and you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy it. Part "how-to" guide book, part personal saga, it's a great way to learn both more about Judaism and about human nature in general. And you get to laugh a lot at the same time. What could be better?
