Editorial Reviews

Review

Those interested in the Middle East conflict gain an entirely new, surprising, and often disturbing insider's perspective of just how unlikely peace really is, in Tenenbom's remarkable six-month account of his journey to all corners of the Holy Land. Born in Israel to an ultra-orthodox family, Tenenbom (I Sleep in Hitler's Room) left to pursue a career in journalism and theater, living in Germany and the United States. Posing mostly as a German, he returns to Israel after 33 years with a plan to observe and experience the people, the culture, and the prospects for peace. Presenting himself as a German or an Israeli journalist, depending on the situation, he interacts with Haredim, Knesset members, Israeli media, Jews living in disputed areas, right and left-wing Israelis, Arab leaders, PLO leaders, Bedouins, European "peace researchers," and prostitutes. Tenenbom's conclusions, many of which he arrives at while playing his dangerous charade, are bone-chilling and disheartening. His riveting tale, chock full of unbelievable and hilarious encounters, is highly engaging and emotional, eminently readable, brutally honest, and likely the most uncensored and eye-opening report readers will see. --STAR review, Publishers Weekly

Catch the Jew! is an illuminating and alarming account of a part of the promised land that few foreigners see. Catch the Jew! offers one of the more interesting portraits of Palestinian politics to have appeared in English. ... the current Palestinian leadership appears fairly shrewd (though apparently not shrewd enough to perform background checks on visitors), nepotistic, obsessed with theatrical PR productions of alleged Israeli crimes, but also surprisingly satisfied with the status quo. That said, no reader of Catch the Jew! can come away having failed to learn many new things about Israelis and Palestinians, two peoples we talk about so much but understand so little.--Neil Rogachevsky, The Wall Street Journal

The book is amazing. It beautifully deconstructs the current culture of the Israel-hating crowd, from within and without Israel...Every page has examples of malicious Europeans, lying Arabs and clueless (or self-hating) Israeli Jews...The entire situation is quite literally theater, where everyone plays their parts and everyone denies the obvious - because the truth would destroy the illusions that so many people have invested their lives in. Tenenbom's genius is to expose the obvious to the players themselves, who react with anger or denial. Their world is surrounded with like-minded unthinking drones and they cannot abide a truth-teller, often reacting by accusing Tuvia of being a Jew.--Elderofziyon Blog

Catch the Jew! is filled with such realizations, small and large. It is at once a breezily written travelogue and a voyage through the political landscape, spotted with ideological landmines at every step. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about Israel, you ll meet people you never knew existed and you ll have fun getting to know them. --Jewish News Service, JNS.org

Tenenbom's insights are sharp and clear ...Tenenbom has a captivating personality and he is extraordinarily funny ...read what Tenenbom has to tell us, without bias. We don't have the privilege not to know. --Einat Talmon, Haaretz

Catch The Jew!, a daring and hilariously written account of the foreign-backed (and often foreign-staffed) media and peace industry in Israel. Each of the 55 short chapters is a portal to an aspect of Israeli and Arab life and some offense dreamed up by the peace industry. He observes how Israel's left-wing intellectuals profess to be experts on the settlers they despise and the Palestinians they adore while showing negligible real knowledge about either. He shows how the Oslo Accords did significant damage to Jewish Arab relations on a local level. Of particular interest to Tenenbom is the European connection. The extent to which so many anti-Israel NGOs (foreign and domestic); hostile films, cultural events, and institutions; and Arab housing, educational facilities, and academic conferences are all funded by European governments is staggering. --Jonathan Neumann, Commentary Magazine

Catch the Jew!... is at once a breezily written travelogue and a voyage through the political landscape, spotted with ideological landmines at every step. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about Israel, you'll meet people you never knew existed and you'll have fun getting to know them.--Amelia Katzen, The Algemeiner

Ultimately, what he got... is placed before you with sharp, insightful and even sarcastic sentences thrown out there for you, the reader. With these conclusions, and the solid proof he offers page after page, you can t argue with Tenenbom.--Paula Stern, The Times of Israel

Tenenbom...has a knack for homing in on what makes people tick.--Jessica Steinberg, The Times of Israel

Rave reviews across the political spectrum.--Seth J. Frantzman, The Jerusalem Post

The result of this journey is an iconoclastic take on the Holy Land, that will either convulse the reader with laughter or enrage him/her to the point of mayhem.--Tom Tugend, The Jewish Journal

If you want to understand why there is no peace in the Holy Land despite the best efforts of the Obama administration and the billion-dollar European peace and human rights industry, you owe it to yourself to read Catch the Jew! by Tuvia Tenenbom.--Fred Siegel and Sol Stern,The City Journal

Tenenbom covers all of these usually invisible matters, and he does us a service by doing so.--David Mikics, The Tablet Magazine

The Israeli media have been buzzing about the delicious story of Tuvia Tenenbom and his expose of the shenanigans of the radical Left operating in the West Bank.

Kimche was not amused by Tenenbom's showing up the Far Left as a gang of circus clowns. As reported by various news media in Israel, on her Facebook page she issued a call for Tenenbom to be murdered.--Steven Plaut, Frontpagemag.com

Israel was recently hit by a literary bombshell. The title of the best-seller is Catch the Jew. Its author is Tuvia Tenenbom, the founder of New York's Jewish theater...The resulting book is altogether hilarious, tragic, and devastating...What emerges from this book is that Europeans are making things worse in our region by using the Arab-Israeli conflict to absolve themselves of their past crimes, and by laundering their anti-Semitism into humanitarianism.--Emmanuel Navon, i24News.com

If someone were to ask me to recommend one book to help him or her understand Israel today they could do no better than to read Tenenbom's Catch the Jew! --David Tesler, AJL Reviews

Tuvia Tenenbom is a best-selling author, journalist, dramatist, and the founder of the Jewish Theater of New York. He studied for his doctorate in English literature at St. John s University, earned his MFA in playwriting at CUNY-Brooklyn, BS in mathematics and computer science at Touro, and finished his rabbinical studies in Jerusalem. He also studied Christianity and Islam in Israel and New York as well as journalism, acting, theater, and finance (at NYU).
