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 353 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)

Download or read book Jews and Jokes written by J.D. Rockefeller and published by J.D. Rockefeller. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 The First Book of Jewish Jokes written by Elliott Oring and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Works on Jewish humor and Jewish jokes abound today, but what formed the basis for our contemporary notions of Jewish jokes? How and when did these perceptions develop? In this groundbreaking study and translation, noted humor and folklore scholar Elliott Oring introduces us to the joke collections of Lippmann Moses Büschenthal, an enlightened rabbi, and an unknown author writing as "Judas Ascher." Originally published in German in 1812 and 1810, these books include jokes and anecdotes that play on stereotypes. The jokes depict Jews dealing with Gentiles who are bent on their conversion, Jews encountering government officials and institutions, newly propertied Jews attempting to demonstrate their acquisition of artistic and philosophical knowledge, and Jews engaged in trade and moneylending—often with the aim to defraud. In these jokes we see the antecedents of modern Jewish humor, and in Büschenthal's brief introduction we find perhaps the earliest theory of the Jewish joke. Oring provides helpful annotations for the jokes and contextualizing essays that examine the current state of Jewish joke scholarship and the situation of the Jews in France and Germany leading up to the periods when the two collections were published. Intended to stimulate the search for even earlier examples, Oring challenges us to confront the Jewish joke from a genuine historical perspective.
Download or read book The Genius of the Jewish Joke written by Arthur Asa Berger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Genius of the Jewish Joke focuses on what is distinctive and unusual about Jewish jokes and Jewish humor. Jewish humor is humor by Jews and about Jews, in whatever medium this humor is found. Jokes are defined as short stories, meant to amuse, with a punch line, though Jewish humor exists in many other forms—riddles, comic definitions, parodies—as well. 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. Abraham does not sacrifice Isaac (humor) and, thus, humor and the Jews are linked early in Jewish history. Berger discusses techniques of humor and how they can be used to analyze jokes. He also compares "Old World Jewish Humor"—the humor of the shtetl, with its fabulous schlemiels, schlimazels, schnorrers, and other characters—and "New World Humor"—the humor of Jewish doctors, lawyers, accountants, and other professional types living mostly in the suburbs nowadays. Jewish humor is contrasted with other forms of ethnic humor, such as Polish jokes and Italian American jokes. This humor, in addition to providing pleasure, reveals a great deal about Jewish character and culture and, in addition, the human condition. Now available with a new introduction by the author, The Genius of the Jewish Joke is an entertaining and informative inquiry into Jewish humor that explores its distinctiveness, its unique spirit, and its role in Jewish identity.
