It's with no small amount of irony that I say, this is just for us... Not to discourage others from reading it.
Being Jewish can be quite isolating at times, and I've found that certain works will sometimes shift everything for a bit, and you get a reprieve from the constant slight discomfort of thinking and feeling just a little bit off from the world around you. This did that for me.
People without a Jewish background could absolutely benefit from reading this... But, I imagine it will make them uncomfortable.
