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
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
With amazing creativity, Rabbi Avram Mlotek presents a lively and profound introduction to Jewish life. From ‘HOW?’ to ‘WHY?’ he gives us the warmth of living Judaism. This book is thrilling!
