Review “What’s great about Avram Mlotek’s Why Jews Do That is that it embraces all Jews from ultra-Reform to ultra-Orthodox, from Ashkenazim to Sephardim and beyond our faith as well. Whether we are observant or not, we’ve all been taught: ‘'live in the question’; how wonderful that Avram’s book gives us answers to so many important ones—with humor and wisdom.” —Tovah Feldshuh, actor, playwright, and author of Lilyville “What Steph Curry is to the three-pointer, Avram Mlotek is to rabbi-ing. Let him—and this book—be your guide to a deeper understanding of Judaism.” —Bari Weiss, author of How to Fight Anti-Semitism and staff editor and writer for the New York Times “Learning basic information about Judaism is often ponderous and, as a result, many people never learn it. But in the capable, consistently accurate and sometimes irreverent hands of Avram Mlotek, the process becomes both fun and funny.” —Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author of the New York Times bestseller Rebbe and Jewish Literacy “Rabbi Avram Mlotek draws people into Jewish life with his enthusiasm, his warmth, his music, and his understanding that people are often embarrassed to ask even the most basic questions. Here, he makes those questions fun and accessible to all.” —Eric Fingerhut, president, Jewish Federations of North America and past president of Hillel International “A book this good comes along only once in a millennial. . . . But then again, Avram Mlotek is one in a million. So as one who was shaped by the 1960's, I want to give this volume my highest rating, e.g., STEAL THIS BOOK.” —Rabbi Irving “Yitz” Greenberg, author of The Jewish Way: Living The Holidays “ Why Jews Do That is an example of the kind of approachable, wise, humorous, sensitive spirit its author embodies. We are thrilled to have Avram Mlotek as Rabbi-In-Residence at the Marlene Meyerson JCC of Manhattan. We look to him as an example of what it means to practice Judaism today: with honesty, intentionality, an open mind and heart.” —Rabbi Joy Levitt, Executive Director of Marlene Meyerson JCC of Manhattan “If you want a ‘Judaism for Dummies’ with a shmear of snark and potty mouth, this is the book for you.” —Jackie Hoffman, Emmy-nominated comedian and Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish’s Yenta, the Matchmaker “Finally! A book about Jews written entirely in questions! Is that perfect? Reb Mlotek, adank for this bukh! (Thanks for this book!)” —Julie Klausner, creator and star of Hulu’s Difficult People “As someone who has undergone a conve
