It's not only entertaining but also educational to a non-Jewish person - I like a little subtle education with my entertainment, makes me feel clever ;). I was thinking it would be excellent as a way to teach kids, or anyone, about being Orthodox Jewish whilst still being fun - like in a Religious education class, or for home-schooling for example. I love how there are non-English* words used naturally but non-confusingly. I hope you have a lot of success with it. *Yiddish? I was thinking Hebrew initially, but then I looked up "daven/davening" (look - I learnt/remembered something!) and it said it was Yiddish. I am now looking up what EXACTLY Yiddish is. See the learning this comic prompts? That's why I think it's awesome. I’d just like to say that I think Hereville is awesome.
