Why Jews Do That or 30 Ques­tions Your Rab­bi Nev­er Answered is your one-stop shop for answers to all the ques­tions you had about Judaism, but were too shy or afraid to ask. Writ­ten by Avram Mlotek, a rab­bi work­ing with mil­len­ni­als, this isn’t just for the Jews among us. Just because you’re Catholic, Mus­lim, Hin­du, Bud­dhist or the like does­n’t mean you can­not enjoy an inside look to find out if mar­i­jua­na is kosher, whether Jews have con­fes­sion like Catholics and so much more. Like the Bible, this book has five fun­da­men­tal sec­tions: Time, Props, Pur­pose, Grub, and God. Each ques­tion in this book is accom­pa­nied by a response, a fun fact (often tan­gen­tial­ly relat­ed), as well as a Jew, say wha?” quote where famous Jew­ish ideas and wise wiz­ards are ref­er­enced. With car­toon illus­tra­tions by Faby Rodriguez and Jen­ny Young, this cof­fee-table book is sure to bring out more ques­tions for the devout fol­low­er, casu­al observ­er, or some­one mar­ry­ing into the faith. Bot­tom line: this book is for you, who­ev­er Jew are. Ask away!
