A droll noble effort by the authors of the wild­ly pop­u­lar Yid­dish with Dick and Jane series and How to Raise a Jew­ish Dog to save con­tem­po­rary Judaism from extinc­tion. Laugh out loud chap­ters include ​“How To Order Can­tonese Food” which includes a bril­liant Can­tonese cor­re­la­tion for every Szechuan or Hunan dish — usu­al­ly won­ton soup or shrimp in lob­ster sauce; ​“How to Write and Speak Like a Rab­bi in 1953”; ​“Intro­duc­tion to Hondling (bar­gain­ing)”; and ​“What Are Those Icky Jew­ish Dish­es?” — for those many Jews that don’t know that a ger­gle is the neck of a chick­en and mun is ground pop­py seed paste. Less suc­cess­ful is a tacked on para­graph about girls hav­ing ​“less com­mon” Bat Mitz­vah (real­ly?) after a sev­er­al page trea­tise on why boys should still have a Bar Mitz­vah, and a dicey attempt to dif­fuse dan­ger­ous anti-Islam sen­ti­ment that iron­i­cal­ly does not come off as par­tic­u­lar­ly enlight­ened. Over­all, how­ev­er, this com­pendi­um hits the bull’s‑eye of Real­ly Funny.
