Publisher's Synopsis

Modern Jews have forgotten cherished traditions and become, sadly, all-too assimilated. It's enough to make you meshugeh. Today's Jews need to relearn the old ways so that cultural identity means something other than laughing knowingly at Curb Your Enthusiasm - and The Big Jewish Book for Jews is here to help. This wise and wise-cracking book offers invaluable instruction on everything from how to sacrifice a lamb unto the Lord to the rules of Mah-jong. Jews of all ages and backgrounds will welcome this opportunity to be the Jewiest Jew of all.

About the Publisher

Plume

Plume was founded in 1970 as the trade paperback imprint of New American Library. In its early history, Plume focused primarily on nonfiction titles, publishing approximately 35 titles per year. In the early 1980s, as trade paperbacks were rapidly becoming the format of choice among a large segment of book buyers, Plume began expanding its reach, and became recognized as one of the pre-eminent trade paperback imprints. The 1980's saw Plume make its mark with a number of major bestsellers, including Toni Morrison's Tar Baby, Erica Jong's Fanny, Russell Baker's Growing Up, and Gloria Steinem's Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, among others. Now, in 2014, Plume is publishing 85 to 100 titles a year, and its backlist currently encompasses approximately 700 titles.
