It's a NICE book. Forget Yiddish. Real Jewish is a secret language of nuance, argument, and somersaults of everyday speech; of wins, losses, and draws in competitions you had no idea you'd entered. It's everything from mastering the OAQ (Obsessive Anal Question) - "They'll de-ice the wings before we take off, right?" - to never, ever believing your mother-in-law when she says "Don't bother driving me, I'll take a cab." Now in a second edition that's bigger, better, and with more guilt, this is the indispensable guide.   Who knew? * Jewish Cooking (the first two hours of boiling a chicken are just to make sure it's dead) * Jewish Eating (you should eat eight times a day if you're diabetic - or if you're not) * The Art of Two-Person Worrying (Jewish Ping-Pong) * The hotel-room-changing gene, the always-at-the-doctor gene, and other genes only Jews have * Boxing gloves, a rottweiler, Pop-Tarts, and fourteen other things you'll never find in a Jewish home * And so much more. (Why not?)  … (més)

I don't know, some parts are really funny but I'm Jewish and don't identify with most of it. I guess it's about American Jews of a particular type, but I struggle to get my head around most of it because it's just not realistic. ( )

This is perhaps one of the funniest books on Jewish humour that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Not only is it funny but it is so true. I think if I had forced Frank to read this book before we were married, we would have far fewer miscommunications. If there was any doubt of my Jewishness it is erased. I'm so Jewish. No doubt about culture, there is no wonder other non-Floridian gentiles can't understand me, I'm speaking Jewish culturally. They even make a reference to that in the book in the quiz at the end. If you scored in the highest section, they say either you were paying a lot of attention to your Jewish relatives or you're from Florida. The only think wrong with the book is that Friday night was Chinese night. :)

Humorous guide to twists, nuances and hidden meaning of Jewish language and culture
  Folkshul | Jan 15, 2011 |
Definitely amusing. Can be either a quick read or just pick up a page at a time. A great gift for any non-Jew marrying (or even seriously dating) a Jew. Some things relate to a more older crowd than others, but still, most things resonate well. ( )

It's a NICE book. Forget Yiddish. Real Jewish is a secret language of nuance, argument, and somersaults of everyday speech; of wins, losses, and draws in competitions you had no idea you'd entered.
