Passover Greeting -- Who Let The Jews Out

The "Who Let the Jews Out" Passover greeting is temporarily down so it can be switched to a server that will be able to handle all the traffic. Thanks so much for your interest. The greeting has already been viewed over a million times.

In the meantime, I really hope you'll consider buying the book.

What They're Saying About Schlepping Through The Alps:


"You'll be hard-pressed to find a better read."
--Library Journal


"[Apple]'s succeeded on all counts."
--Philadelphia Inquirer

“This marvelously alert, one-of-a-kind book fascinates by virtue of its eccentric honesty, humor, warmth, and intelligence. Sam Apple’s writing style sparkles, and the two brilliantly achieved, richly sympathetic characterizations at the heart of the book–the singing shepherd and the author himself–make for a dazzlingly satisfying read. I absolutely loved it.”

–PHILLIP LOPATE

“At its best, Apple’s narrative voice is as grave as W.G. Sebald’s while as self-deprecating as a poetic version of Woody Allen’s. Europe in the wake of the Holocaust is risky material. I know of no other American of Apple’s generation writing non-fiction who has attempted as subtle and oblique an approach as this.”
–HONOR MOORE, author of The White Blackbird

“In this wonderful book, Sam Apple has written a brilliantly comic and very dark pastorale about shepherds, Nazis and Jews, modern-day Austria, love and fidelity, and he has done it with such subtlety–with bright colors at the center and darkness around all the edges–that the effect is quite singular. I have never read a book quite like this, and I loved it; it’s that simple.”
–CHARLES BAXTER, author of Saul and Patsy: A Novel and Burning Down the House: Essays on Fiction
