Summary: From this you laugh?
Comment: David Bader has come up with a masterful concept: combine the poetic form of Japanese Haiku with kvetchy Jewish plaint. And bubule, it works.

The book is best savored like bonbons, just a few at a time. Some are wry, some confirm the American Jewish experience, and some are laugh-out-loud funny; even my shaygitz husband completely lost it with:

Today I am a

man. Tomorrow I return

to the seventh grade.

I got it as a birthday gift and I LOVED it! Buy one for a gift and another for you.

Summary: The poetry of Jewish Neurosis
Comment: So you thought I would / Write a Jewish haiku to / Sell this book. Guess not.

Bader, a Hahvahd Lawyer, and the author of"How to Be an Extremely Reform Jew" provides the essence of the faith in 5-7-5 / 17 syllable portions. Like the Japanese ahiku, the Jewish haiku (or CHAI-ku) includes 'a kigo', or a 'season word' hinting at a time of year. It is sheer genius. My favorites were one about a mohel pruning the growth in his garden and: Heimlich. Is that a / Jewish name? I wonder as / a diner turns blue.

Summary: A little humor nosh.
Comment: If your sense of humor needs a nosh - you should have this by your side. I wouldn't hurt!
