This is the first book about Orthodox Judaism that is written from the perspective of a Secular Jew. No one has heard this side of the story before. The target audience is Jews and non-Jews who want an entertaining and easy way to learn more about Judaism.

The book is divided into three sections:

Section I is the true story of a casually Jewish family's struggle to cope with the divisiveness caused when one son becomes an Orthodox Jew.

Section II is a compendium of everything you wanted to know about Orthodox Judaism without really trying.

Section III is a comprehensive and easy-to-use glossary of Jewish terminology.

*Humorously yet informatively educate the reader about what being Jewish is all about

*Proffer insight, consolation, and guidance into how the reader might cope with religious devotion if in a similar situation

*Provide a step-by-step guide on what needs to be done to a house in order to share space with a Hard Core Jewish Person

*Serve as the "go to" book and a reference source for anyone who wants to learn more about Judaism
