Book description

Did Jew Know? is a collection of fun, surprising, and informative facts about Jewish life, culture, and religious practice—presented in an irreverent (but not disrespectful) voice, and an enjoyable, visually appealing package. This hilarious compendium of Jewishness offers a wealth of meaningful information plus a slew of little-known tidbits on every facet of Jewish life, from food and drink to religious practice, geography to pop culture, and more, including such indispensable knowledge as: • The Kaifeng Jews of China: Who are they, how did they get there, and where do they go for a good pastrami sandwich? • What Jewish-American war hero made his reputation at Gettysburg? • What is the total amount Jewish songwriters have earned from penning songs about Christmas? Abby also offers helpful sidebars (hair-care products for your Jew-fro), detailed knowledge boxes (Torah Time), and informative charts (Who’s a Jew?), providing an addictively readable mix of practical information, facts and figures, and entertaining trivia.
