Understand all the major and minor holidays. Learn how the Jews invented Hollywood. Remind themselves why they need to read Hannah Arendt, watch Seinfeld, listen to Leonard Cohen.

Even discover the secret of happiness (see “Latkes”).

Includes hundreds of photos, charts, infographics, and illustrations.

It’s a lot.
