  • Why do Jews eat gefilte fish?

  • Why is a glass broken at the end of a Jewish wedding ceremony?

  • Why must the chapter of curses in the Torah be read quickly in a low voice?

  • Why are shrimp and lobster not kosher?

  • Why do Jews fast on Yom Kippur?

  • Why are some Matzot square while others are round?

If you've ever asked or been asked any of these questions, The Jewish Book of Why has all the answers. In this complete, concise, fascinating, and thoroughly informative guide to Jewish life and tradition, Rabbi Alfred J. Kolatch clearly explains both the significance and the origin of nearly every symbol, custom, and practice known to Jewish culture-from Afikomon to Yarmulkes, and from Passover to Purim. Kolatch also dispels many of the prevalent misconceptions and misunderstandings that surround Jewish observance and provides a full and unfettered look at the biblical, historical, and sometimes superstitious reasons and rituals that helped develop Jewish law and custom and make Judaism not just a religion, but a way of life.

Tasty snack
Flavor Name: Original Beef
I love chomps for the protein, taste, and ease of eating. Comes in many flavors. My only complaint is that it is pricey. I’m willing to pay because it is grass fed beef, zero sugar, and made with real ingredients.

Chomps Grassfed Beef Sticks
Flavor Name: Original Beef
I can't stop eating these. Need I say more? They are delicious. Have a nice spicy aftertaste...and remind of a Slim Jim without the bad ingredients. Wonderful!

Still looking for a better brand
Flavor Name: Original Beef
These are fine for what they are and are better than most brands. I loved their discontinued Cranberry Habanero beef sticks. Those worked great within my KETO lifestyle and were their best tasting offering. Then, these fools decided they wanted to basically cater to Carnivore or Carnivore-leaning lifestyles and did away with the best version of their meat sticks. They've never gotten the basic Habanero beef sticks to where I like the taste. This plain version will do as will the Salted Beef sticks until I find another brand that does a decent Cranberry Habanero or similar offering without the ick. However, the last box of Salted Beef sticks that I purchased directly from Chomps both tastes and feels underdone to me and I have to heat before eating them. I also ordered and tried their limited edition Smoky BBQ beef sticks. They were just meh. Had my brother try them and he also said they were meh. Decent brand but I am still looking for a brand to come into the arena and lay waste to all of the others. UPDATE: I purchased two boxes directly from Chomps. They are trash. Got sick after eating two. Some smell absolutely horrible upon opening and others in the boxes taste disgusting. The ones that haven't smelled or tasted bad at first bite, DONT TASTE DONE. That's it. I won't be purchasing from Chomps either through Amazon or directly. I no longer like or recommend this brand.

Great tasting
Flavor Name: Wagyu Beef Steak, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
I ordered both the wagyu beef and the venison . Just received them today. I’ve only tried the wagyu beef so far and I’m very impressed. It’s not overly salty and more like a dried hamburger beef. Not to dry to need a flosser like other Jerky’s. The venison is way to salty I definitely prefer the Wagyu

The best meat sticks!
Flavor Name: Wagyu Beef Steak, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the best meat sticks I’ve found so far! They are very clean and go down well. Very tasty. If you need more protein on the go-these are a no-brainer. Slightly pricey, but worth it!
