A delightful romp filled with happy spiritual mayhem. A smorgasboard of shnooks, shlubs, shmendricks and shlamazels. Souls that fly to God with borsht in there beards. The Chutzper Rebbe is a holy man for all ages and stories,transcendent humor, a whacky delight.

Warning; The Chutzper Rebbe does not like those who take themselves too seriously or the piously arrogant.

I recomend this book to those who desire a soul deep laugh and a bagel with a small pickle and some seltzer.

This book gives the non-Jewish reader a rare, humorous, glimpse into the old world of European Jewry. Non stop good humor with charming illustrations. Light hearted yet making a clear statement about the sensibility of the modern approach to religion. If you love language, you will be highly entertained deciphering the Yiddish terminology..It was a machia to read!

Paul Palnik is a unique artist, whose work is both spiritual and comic. He has a genius for capturing the small absurdities of life and casting them in a new light with his illustrations. This book shines with his humor, and I strongly recommend it.
