The Genius of the Jewish Joke

About The Genius of the Jewish Joke

This book focuses on what is distinctive and unusual about Jewish jokes and Jewish humor. The book makes a "radical" suggestion about the origin of Jewish humor, namely, that Sarah and Abraham's relation to God, and the name of their son Isaac (which, in Hebrew, means laughter), recognizes a special affinity in Jews for humor.
