Kamau Bell, goyish comedianImmerse yourself in the essence of Jewish humor and culture with A Field Guide to the Jewish People, brought to you by New York Times–bestselling Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Adam Mansbach, and Emmy and Thurber Prize–winning SNL alum Alan Zweibel.Join them as they dissect every holiday, rite of passage, and tradition, unravel a long and complicated history, and tackle the tough questions that have plagued Jews and non-Jews alike for centuries.Combining the sweetness of an apricot rugelach with the wisdom of a matzoh ball, this is the last book on Judaism that you will ever need. So gather up your chosen ones, open a bottle of Manischewitz, and get ready to enjoy some “bona fide gems” from the authors of For This We Left Egypt? (New York Journal of Books).“No topic is off-limits.” —Kirkus Reviews“Literally has a laugh-out-loud moment on every page, sometimes more than one.” —Bookreporter

"Generally, this is a pretty funny book. I'd be really curious to know how someone who is Jewish would feel about this book...I enjoyed a lot of the jokes but I feel some went over my head since I'm not intimately familiar with Judaism. It does seem to rely on some Jewish stereotypes for a lot of its humor."
