About this listen

Molly Katz is Jewish and her husband is not. To help him—and every other poor soul who might believe a Jewish mother-in-law's "don't bother driving me, I'll take a cab"—here is the indispensable guide to the complex twists, unexpected nuances and hidden meanings of Jewish language and culture.

"Not your religion"; e.g. "She's Jewish, but her husband's not." Learn all the family secrets, from the Positive Insult, the Negative Compliment, the Shrugs, the Faces, and the Hands to the Viennese Table, the Buying of the Suit/the Returning of the Suit, and the Basic Psychology of Raising a Jewish Child.

"You're wonderful/You'll never be good enough," "Eat/Be thin," "Save/Spend/Earn/Give/Buy/Keep."
