he has some great books geared towards people who know nothing about Judaism, or a little bit (actually, even knowledgable people can enjoy his books!)

he has one on Chanuka which I plan on giving to a young Russian not-frum person we know

everybody can learn from his books - he goes beyond the face value.

also HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:

I love his books!! But I am biased. I met him a few times - not that he knows me. I know the artist that does most of the artwork for his books. I'm also biased bc one of the first Rabbi's I ever learned with is on the cover of the Rosh Hashana / Yom Kippur Survival kit. The one with people looking bored and falling asleep in shul.

Another really popular one is called Passover survival kit. He is both funny and wise, down to earth and spiritual.

I just bought his Rosh Hashana Yom Kippur Survival Kit for the Russian guy I mentioned earlier.

Apisdorf's newest project is Jewish Cheat Sheets Smile

He has one for the High Holidays:
