About Us

This site is all about one thing, helping you understand the Jewish religion and traditions.

Many people who are friends with someone of Jewish heritage could hear about traditions or parties that are unfamaliar to them. So rather than keeping them in the dark I started this site to help answer questions that many people might have.

I hope that this site is helpful to you as someone who is friends with a Jewish person or if you are considering joining the Jewish faith.
