Where There's Smoke, There's Salmon by Michael Levin (paperback)

"The only things I believe in are sex and death, two things that occur once in a lifetime. But at least after death you're not nauseous." —Woody Allen

Whatever the situation, whatever the crisis, whatever the sorrow or joy, Jews have a few brilliant words for it. Health, marriage, sex, food, law, raising children, poverty, success, optimism, cynicism, winning, and losing—they're all part of the Jewish experience, and there are proverbs for every one of them. The hundreds of examples in this book come from the Bible, the Talmud, and dozens of current sources. Where There's Smoke, There's Salmon is for all readers, Jewish or not, who seek entertainment, knowledge, and some great one-liners.
