Publisher's Synopsis
What do you get when you mix a cranky God, a bunch of emotionally fragile prophets, 613 commandments, and a whole lot of carbs?
A sacred mess called Judaism-and this hilariously dysfunctional guide is here to make sense of it all. In Oy Vey Almighty, we dive headfirst into the wonders and weirdness of Jewish faith, history, rituals, and culture-from Abraham's awkward parenting to Moses' divine burnout, from Shabbat naps to Passover plagues. With razor-sharp humor, warm irreverence, and surprising depth, this book is perfect for: Jews of all denominations (yes, even you, Cousin Barry) Curious gentiles who don't know their latkes from their lox Anyone who's ever yelled at God (and maybe gotten a reply) Come for the jokes, stay for the mitzvahs. Whether you're a rabbi, a reluctant bar mitzvah boy, or just here for the bagels, this guide will make you laugh, think, and possibly question everything-just like a good Talmud study should.
