THE JEW FROM GALILEE

My local library pulled the book "The Man From Galilee" by Daniel Halevi Bloom after a patron complained the book was too Jewish.

The book is about the life of Jesus Christ.

The patron also complained that the book was written by "a Jewish author."

The Tulsa Library says it didn't pull the book because of the complaint. A committee reviewed the book and noted that it had been read so many times that it was in poor condition. So rather than replace this popular book with a fresh copy, they just dropped it from the collection.

Bold move, Tulsa library.

The book was too Jewish?

Was it wearing a black long coat and black hat? Was the book growing sideburns and a beard?

When you opened the book did it play the theme from fiddler on the roof?

Did the book smell like a cornbeef sandwich? A knish?

Did the book only want to date Shiksas but not marry them?

I do not understand, whats too Jewish?
