Synopsis

For the first time, the secrets of the ancient art of Judology are revealed. Think of it as the third cousin of Kabbalah. Yes, but is it Good for the Jews? is a hilarious and indispensable A–Z of world history and popular culture, measuring whether a wide variety of subjects are, in fact, Good for the Jews.

We can reveal to the outside world (yes, Non-Jews are allowed to buy this book), the mathematical formula that determines whether someone or something is Good for the Jews. The Judological Institute of Spiritual Mathematics (or JISM) will show that while Guilt, Google and Star Wars are Good for the Jews, Sudoku and Colonic Irrigation are Not. In a whistlestop tour you’ll also discover just what’s right about Big Brother, what’s wrong about Madonna, what products you should avoid, and which ones you really should rush out and buy.

Bonus features include a list of top Jews to marry (Scarlet Johanssen is Jewish!), a ‘Jew or False’ quiz and ‘Ashamed of Your Name? Jews that Switched’ – which reveals the original name of Kirk Douglas, among others.

For the confused Gentile, a simple questionnaire ‘How Jew are You?’ may help. (Remember, as the first Prime Minister of Israel himself said, ‘Anyone meshugge enough to call himself a Jew, IS a Jew.’)

Jonny Geller on Yes, But is it Good for the Jews?

Ones to Kvatsch*

*Kvatsch is derived from the Yiddish Kvetch, "to complain"

How often have you thought to yourself, during the course of a normal working day, whether someone or something is good for the Jews? Come on! Be honest. Once an hour? Twice every ten minutes? The famous Rabbi Plotzk of Pinsk argued that the average Jewish male thinks this question every six seconds. But this can’t be proved.

What can be proved finally, and definitively, is whether You are Good for the Jews.

This is not some suicidal ramblings of a lunatic rabble rouser. No, this is science. Thanks to the magic of Judology, we at the Institute (Judological Institute of Spiritual Mathematics, or JISM) can reveal the formula that unlocks the secret of whether someone is good for the Jews or not – and just in time for the Christmas market!

Christmas is hardly a Jewish festival I hear you say. But oh no, my fellow judologist, Christmas is the birthday of the World’s Most Famous Jew. Don’t be a kill-joy, bring out the candles! Besides, when else can you stand around Not Shopping whilst everyone else goes mad buying things at full price*. To cap it all, the fools don’t realise they can get everything 50% cheaper if they just waited a few days for the January Sales? Win, win, if you ask me.

If there are any non-Jews out there who think this book is not for them, I say, “Stop plutzing!” Relax. Don’t tell me, when you see a news report which says “Earthquake:1000 dead. One Briton Feared Missing” you don’t watch avidly for more news? 5000 years of thinking like that has produced Yes, But is it Good for the Jews.

In other words, though this question might seem to some as  narrow minded, parochial, woefully prejudiced, it also unlocks the heart of human existence. Who has not asked themselves whether Colonic Irrigation is good for the Jews or Not? Sudoku? Big Brother? Guilt? Cheesecake? I defy anyone not to have at least mused once on the effect ebay has on the Jewish psyche.

Yes, But... is also highly topical. For example, we will discuss Brother Mel’s most recent outburst. At AA recently (Anti-Semites Anonymous) Mel spoke movingly of his recent lapse in front of an LA police enforcement officer. “Hi. My name is Mel and I Hate Jews. (applause). I told a policeman that the Jews have all the money and that is simply not true. I do. Also, Jews control Hollywood. Not true. They couldn’t stop me making my tribute to world Jewry, the Passion of the Christ….” (Brother Mel is taken away).

The book is an ideal Christmas Schtocking filler for all the family. We live in a multi-cultural society now, where even non-Jews are allowed in certain restaurants, gentiles teach at some schools and some alternative faith followers even work in publishing and the media. We at the Institute applaud this openness in British society and our book is one step further to help this country learn to tolerate and accept non-Jews of every persuasion.

Remember, judology is not just for Christmas. And, for god’s sake, don’t borrow the book, buy it.
