The AI team take a deep dive into Dr. Joseph Kasser’s “Conceptual Laws and Customs of Christmas” which satirically explores Christmas traditions through a Talmudic lens, presenting imaginary laws and customs governing Christmas preparations, the tree, decorations, gift-giving, office parties, and festive meals.
The book meticulously mimics the style of the Talmud, presenting “laws” followed by numbered commentaries exploring their rationale and potential variations. This creates a humorous effect by applying the rigor of Jewish legal interpretation to a non-Jewish holiday.
The paperback book retails for $5.95 and may be found on Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/Conceptual-Laws-Customs-Christmas-Yiddishkeit/dp/1507510861/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.97u3ZAAl35s2uA4APETVhg.GwELtFSP0DnWSK4M2HVfYwdc0akpaSyXMnOkN7GBou4&qid=1735016735&sr=8-1
