## Description

It's a NICE book. Forget Yiddish. Real Jewish is a secret language of nuance, argument, and somersaults of everyday speech; of wins, losses, and draws in competitions you had no idea you'd entered. It's everything from mastering the OAQ (Obsessive Anal Question) - "They'll de-ice the wings before we take off, right?" - to never, ever believing your mother-in-law when she says "Don't bother driving me, I'll take a cab." Now in a second edition that's bigger, better, and with more guilt, this is the indispensable guide. Who knew? * Jewish Cooking (the first two hours of boiling a chicken are just to make sure it's dead) * Jewish Eating (you should eat eight times a day if you're diabetic - or if you're not) * The Art of Two-Person Worrying (Jewish Ping-Pong) * The hotel-room-changing gene , the always-at-the-doctor gene, and other genes only Jews have * Boxing gloves , a rottweiler, Pop-Tarts, and fourteen other things you'll never find in a Jewish home * And so much more. (Why not?)

Review: Good for mixed marriages. - Funny book.
Review: Funny - I don’t personally know anyone who is a practicing Jew, so my opinion of Molly Katz’s Jewish as a Second Language may not mean much. I can say that Katz is supremely funny, ranging from smile to laugh out loud. Under the guise of helping those who marry into a Jewish family, she takes us through a wide range of situations, relating what to expect, what to say, and what to do. At times, I was reminded of the stereotypical New York Jews portrayed in movie comedies, but whether this is pure satire or just a funny way to explain Jews, I haven’t a clue. I suspect that it is little of both. The satire comes through loud and clear. But, in fact, I, as a non-Jew, saw myself and my family and friends in her stereotypes. That leads me to believe there is a lot of truth in Katz’s writing. And her truth lends itself to all of us.
