Summary: For interreligious couples -- laugh and learn
Review: Are you a Jewish person coupled with a Not Jewish person, or vice versa? Have you noticed how hysterical your differences are? I was, and did... and have written about these behavioral land mines in a, if I do say so myself, roll-on-the-floor book that has sold 200,000 copies and is in its thirteenth printing. I hope you enjoy it.

Summary: Hilarious book on Jewish life is one vitz after another
Review: Former stand-up comic Molly Katz, inspired by her marriage to a goy, has written a book for Gentiles who marry Jews. Katz expects - even demands - that you will yiddify your worldview, body language, eating habits, gastro-intestinal issues, child-rearing ideas, etc. when you join a Jewish family. Tidbits like "all Jews worry about everything all the time" and "you can have a Jewish wedding without a chuppa but not without a Viennese Table," while slight exaggerations, ring true. Having myself grown up Jewish I recall countless hours spent obsessing over medical problems, Chinese food, money, curtains, schools, etc. A bit more emphasis on Yiddish would have been a plus but the tips Katz gives on word usage and phraseology alone are worth the price of the book (eg, "How long are you married" for "how long have you been married"). Molly Katz is a letz (wit) who gently and affectionately pokes fun at our sometimes overwhelming, always delicious culture, mind-body axis, and worldview.

Summary: Enjoy!
Review: I see myself -- and half my relatives in this upclose and personal look at ourselves. If you liked this, you also love a great little package I found called, "A LITTLE JOY, A LITTLE OY" The book and the calendars are not only funny and filled with Yinglishisms, manner-Yidims, but also serious and poignant moments.
