"A quick and enjoyable read. I adore Rabbi Telushkin; his books are always so informative, while remaining easy to read and not in the slightest bit condescending. While I sense our approaches to Judaism are quite different, he never positions himself as a moral superior. We are merely having the most interesting of conversations about a topic that is clearly important to the both of us. In this book, Rabbi Telushkin uses Jewish jokes both modern and old as jumping off points for discussion about Jews relationship to their traditions, each other, the world, and God. I look forward to discssing it with my grandfather."
