Book excerpt: Trying to give definition to humor of any kind is already bad business in itself. Just when you thought you have laid down the rules, someone will definitely give you a tap on the shoulder and remind you of other forms of humor. And worse, you might even get to raise some eyebrows in your mere attempt to define it.As far as Jewish humor is concerned, it is basically a kind of humor that is blatantly Jewish in all its characters, concerns, language, definitions, symbols or values. Based on one definition, a Jewish joke is something that a non-Jewish person will be able to understand and all Jews say that they already heard. However, not all the Jewish humor has been derived from Jewish sources. And in the same way, not all the humor that the Jews created are necessarily Jewish. For this reason, it would be best that you examine not the song but the singer. Jewish humor is very diverse and rich and can be difficult to adequately describe it with a single generalization. The Jewish theologians said that it is much easier to describe God in things that He is not and the same thing can be of use when trying to understand Jewish humor. Jewish humor is not escapist and not a slapstick. This is not physical and in general, it is not cruel and this doesn't relate to the infirm or the weak. Similarly, this is also not gentle and polite. What Jewish humor truly is might be even harder to determine and here are several broad statements in a complete awareness of all the possible futility of this exercise. Usually, Jewish humor is substantive and is about something. This is specifically fond of some particular topics like food, business, family, wealth and its absence, anti-Semitism, survival and health. Jewish humor is fascinated by logic and intricacies of the mind as well as the short elliptical path that separates the absurd from the rational. As a religious or social commentary, Jewish humor tends to be resigned, complaining, descriptive or sarcastic. At times, the humor's point is actually more powerful than the laugh that it delivers and for several of these jokes, the right response is not really laughter but instead, a consoling sigh of recognition or a bitter nod. The didactic can preclude laughing for free similar with slapstick humor that derives the laughter from the misfortune of other people. There is no doubt that Jewish humor is an interesting thing that continues to fascinate people from all parts of the world, whether they are Jewish or not. To give you a dose of Jewish fun, here are some of the best Jewish jokes that can either make you double up in laughter or stop, think and contemplate on the real meaning that lies within.

Download or read book Life is Like a Glass of Tea written by Richard Raskin and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book on Jewish humor in which individual jokes are singled out for comprehensive study, Life is Like a Glass of Tea devotes a chapter to each of eight major jokes, tracing its history and variants—and looking closely at the ways in which the comic behavior enacted in the punchline can be interpreted. One of the unique properties of classic Jewish jokes is their openness to radically different interpretive options (having nothing to do with wordplay or double entendre). This openness to alternate interpretations—never before discussed in the literature on Jewish humor—gives classic Jewish jokes their special flavor, as they leave us wondering which of several possible attitudes we are expected to hold toward the comic figure. An additional chapter is devoted to the ways in which Jewish jokes tend to evolve over time and across language and cultural barriers. Throughout the book, in fact, one can see the processes that Jewish jokes undergo over decades as their comic potential is unfolded in successive stages, and when they are transplanted from European to American soil. Now in its Second Edition, this expanded version adds two new chapters and new introductory material. It includes a 2015 Foreword by Marc Galanter, who notes that the author “is concerned not only with what makes jokes funny but with what makes some of them profound. His imaginative response to this puzzle makes this little book a distinctive and engaging contribution to the literature on Jewish jokes and on jokes generally.” It will appeal to the general reader, as well as to readers especially interested in Jewish culture, the psychology of humor, religion, ethnography, and folklore. “Richard Raskin’s book on Jewish humor was the most original and useful I found in years of research on the topic. I’m delighted to see it back in print—and with added chapters!” — Ruth Wisse Professor Emerita, Yiddish and Comparative Literature, Harvard University Author, No Joke: Making Jewish Humor (2013) “A fascinating book that explores the richness of Jewish humor. Raskin offers a thought-provoking analysis of what makes Jewish humor special. Raskin merges an understanding of Jewish culture, fresh psychological insights, and a sophisticated reading of jokes and their evolution to create a gem of a book. However, it is not just an outstanding book on Jewish humor. It is an outstanding book on humor. Period. After reading it, you won’t laugh the same way again.” — Dov Cohen Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Illinois Co-editor, Handbook of Cultural Psychology (2007)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What began as a casual collection of Jewish jokes for Jeffry V. Mallow's personal amusement soon became a napkin-scribbling compulsion to document the very best in Jewish humor, whenever and wherever he came across it. The bigger his trove, the clearer it became to Mallow that the jokes were more than just funny-they were authentic in their depictions of Jews and their interactions with each other and with non-Jews; they represented the breadth of Jewish life. Field-tested by Mallow's stand-up comedy audiences for decades, here are guaranteed rib-ticklers about matchmakers, cantors, and circumcisers; the overly pious, freethinkers, and heretics; the illogic of Jewish logic; and even Jewish encounters with alien societies! In these pages, Jews poke fun at their own foibles and at the Gentiles who befuddle them, and Mallow offers witty and informative introductions, explanations, background, and cultural context. There's also a handy glossary at the end. Not only is this a laugh-out-loud compilation of the best Jewish jokes that date back to the Talmud and up to today, but it's also a fascinating and entertaining look at Jewish life around the world and through the centuries.

An ecumenic contribution to solidarity, cooperation and toleranceJokes on this book are one liners because there are cheaper to produce and distribute. Nonetheless, we warn the readers they will not get any discount. Our policy is not to transfer our savings to potential customers. It is more profitable to make you laugh than to make you cry. Humor is a serious matter and it should not be taken lightly. Jewish humor is an inexhaustible source of comfort and relief for those of us who practice it.Humor is a serious matter because it allows processing pain and suffering in an elegant and pleasant way. We Jews have a preponderant participation on the world humor because no one suffers like we do. Our suffering is expressed through our humor.Our tribute to Jewish humor masters: Woody Allen, Groucho Marx, Jackie Mason, Jerry Seinfeld, Rodney Dangerfield, Scholem Aleijem.Jewish humor is one of our many contributions to the Occidental cultural heritage. The more they make us suffer, the more we respond with humor.One of the advantages of being a Jew is being able to write this book without being accused of anti-Semitism. Only Jews are morally and ethically allowed to laugh of themselves. We must clarify that this book is not a recompilation of pre-existing jokes, but fresh material, brand new, ready to be open, written by the author and based on his own experiences and sufferings.Pitch done, let's talk business :Stop suffering! Buy this book and start laughing, It�s better than crying!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish Humor on Your Desktop is a series of seven interactive eBooks that bring hundreds of funny Jewish videos and anecdotes to your favorite screen -- desktop or laptop computer, Kindle, iPad, iPhone, Android phone or tablet. Each video is introduced with a short written commentary explaining its back story. The anecdotes and videos are based on three years and 900 entries from Jewish Humor Central, a blog written by Al Kustanowitz, who has been studying, chronicling, and delivering Jewish humor for more than 30 years. This anthology includes the complete contents of all seven books in the series -- more than 400 anecdotes and more than 20 hours of video clips -- the best of Jewish Humor Central in one convenient package. We hope that it brings joy and laughter into your home and wherever you carry your laptop, tablet, and smartphone - not just on Purim, but throughout the year. The seven books in the series are: Vol. 1: Old Jokes and New Comedians This is the first book in the series. It retells some classic old Jewish jokes and introduces 40 stand-up comedians who are relatively new on the comedy circuit, with more than 50 direct links to video clips of their acts. Vol. 2: Israel is a Funny Country This second book in the series explores the multifaceted nature of humor in Israel, some of which is intentional and some of which is unintentional. Either way, the quirks of Israeli life contribute to making that life interesting and fulfilling. In the pages of this volume, we take a look at humorous slices of Israeli life, funny TV commercials, unusual stories about food, surprising rabbinic bans on daily activities, simchas as they can only be celebrated in Israel, endearing aspects of Israeli culture, a look at the growing phenomenon of flash mobs, and a glimpse of a few unusual Israeli sports. Vol. 3: Humor in Jewish Life (You Can't Make This Stuff Up) This third book in the series explores the funny, often hilarious situations that occur in everyday Jewish life, including anecdotes from the daily newspapers and blogs that are unbelievable but true. The book includes 67 anecdotes, most linked to online video clips totaling more than 3 hours. It covers funny incidents involving Jews of all denominations, unusual religious rituals, funny stories involving Jewish food, weddings, TV, music, dance, theater, story telling, and seniors having fun. Vol. 4: Jewish Traces in Unexpected Places This fourth book in the series presents anecdotes and associated video clips that reveal the myriad ways that Jewish culture, religion, humor, music, song, and dance have found expression in parts of the world that, at first glance, might not seem supportive of Jewish Life. Vol. 5: Yiddish is a Funny Language This fifth book in the series presents anecdotes and associated video clips that illustrate the colorful humor associated with the Yiddish language. Whether it's Yiddish jokes, Yiddish words and expressions, Yiddish song and dance, Yiddish in theater and film, or Yiddish cooking, you will chuckle at the ways this language of an Eastern Europe that was thought to be long gone has permeated modern Jewish life around the world today. Vol. 6: Jewish Holiday Hilarity This is the sixth and longest book in the series, titled Jewish Holiday Hilarity. This book presents more than 100 anecdotes and associated video clips of Jewish holiday humor that will bring holiday-appropriate laughter into your home on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Hanukkah, Tu B'Shvat, Purim, Passover, Lag B'Omer, and Shavuot. You'll find lots of links to the most popular music videos and funny parodies for each of the holidays, along with commentary that fills in some of the details about the singers, musicians, and comedians who created this holiday hilarity. Vol. 7: Yiddishe Nachas This last book in the series presents links to video clips and associated anecdotes that should provide the reader with a general feeling of warmth, happiness, and Jewish pri
