Typically JewishIs laughter essential to Jewish identity? Do Jews possess special radar for recognizing members of the tribe? Since Jews live longer and make love more often, why don't more people join the tribe? "More deli than deity" writer Nancy Kalikow Maxwell poses many such questions in eight chapters "Worrying," "Kvelling," "Dying," "Noshing," "Laughing," "Detecting," "Dwelling," and "Joining" exploring what it means to be "typically Jewish."

Is laughter essential to Jewish identity? Do Jews possess special radar for recognizing members of the tribe? Since Jews live longer and make love more often, why don't more people join the tribe? "More deli than deity" writer Nancy Kalikow Maxwell poses many such questions in eight chapters--"Worrying," "Kvelling," "Dying," "Noshing," "Laughing," "Detecting," "Dwelling," and "Joining"--exploring what it means to be "typically Jewish." While unearthing answers from rabbis, researchers, and her assembled Jury on Jewishness (Jewish friends she roped into conversation), she--and we--make a variety of discoveries. For example:
  • Jews worry about continuity, even though Rabbi Mordechai of Lechovitz prohibited even that: "All worrying is forbidden, except to worry that one is worried."
  • Kvell-worthy fact: About 75 percent of American Jews give to charity versus 63 percent of Americans as a whole.
  • Since reciting Kaddish brought secular Jews to synagogue, the rabbis, aware of their captive audience, moved the prayer to the end of the service.
  • Who's Jewish? About a quarter of Nobel Prize winners, an estimated 80 percent of comedians at one point, and the winner of Nazi Germany's Most Perfect Aryan Child Contest.

Readers will enjoy learning about how Jews feel, think, act, love, and live. They'll also schmooze as they use the book's "Typically Jewish, Atypically Fun" discussion guide.

Delivered on What They Promised
Bought an iRobot Roomba i4+ about 1 1/2 years ago and saw this as an option for a protection plan. I was skeptical, as I know that plans similar to this one can be filled with contractual Loop holes that do not benefit the buyer. HOWEVER, this one is legitimate and came through for me when my vacuum was essentially falling apart…as I was reimbursed the full amount that I paid for it. I just purchased another iRobot, along with the same protection plan……so, from my experience, I highly recommend it.

Really good to have
Size: for Q S5V
After owning a wireless vacuum mop I knew it was good to have extra parts like this on hand so I ordered these when I ordered the robot vacuum. Oh boy... when my vacuum did the dreaded run through dog poop I was very happy to be able to just throw the other parts away and replace them on the spot.

Great Value and Perfect Fit for My Qrevo
Size: for Q S5V
This 34‑piece replacement set has been a great buy for my Roborock Qrevo. All the parts fit perfectly, install easily, and work just like the originals. The brushes and filters snapped right into place, and the mop pads feel thick and durable. After replacing everything, my vacuum immediately picked up more dust and debris. One thing to note: the kit didn’t include any instructions for the scent packs, so I placed them in the dust bag—hopefully that’s the correct spot. It would’ve been helpful to have a quick guide included. Overall, the amount of pieces you get for the price is a fantastic value, and it’s great having plenty of backups on hand.
