Newman Fears, the last Jew on Earth, crash-lands on the dark side of the Moon. There he discovers Noye-Erdkelle, an ancient colony of Jews. For its very survival, Newman is forced to travel the Universe, searching for the Key to the Mystery of the Jews. The Key is one thing. Even more importantly, however: what is the Mystery? To Newman, the Universe proves far weirder, far whackier, and the children of Israel far stranger than anything he could have imagined.
