But Is He Jewish? is divided into three sections. The first section, ‘Quirky Tales, ‘ consists of fifty short stories. Although each touches upon some aspect of Jewish life and culture, they deal with such universal themes as love, mortality, courage, coming of age, and the importance of family.
The following section, ‘Mishegas’ (Yiddish for craziness), includes stand-up comedy routines, the philosophical musings of a fictitious rabbi, advice for daily living (‘A Guide for the Confused’), ‘Eighty Questions to Ponder, ‘ and nonsensical poetry (‘Quit’).
The final section, ‘Animals with Attitudes’, features four humorous mini-plays with animals (elephants, lions, housecats, and rhinoceroses) taking on Jewish characteristics and even speaking some Yiddish (translations provided).
In all, But Is He Jewish? provides a delightful reading experience, as it addresses a variety of topics in a mostly humorous but always human manner.
