This is the second book I've read about Jewish humor.* This one is written by a rabbi who takes his Jewish jokes seriously. What he seems to be doing is explaining Jewishness through their humor. He is very earnest and clear in his explanations. I walked away with a much clearer understanding of the Jewish mind and culture after reading this book.


* The previous one was "Let There Be Laughter A Treasury of Great Jewish Humor and What It Means" by Krasny, Michael.
