Download or read book Our Pal God and Other Presumptions written by Jeffry V. Mallow and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-01-29 with total page 194 pages. 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.
Download or read book Zionist Diarist and Other Polemics written by Jeffry V. Mallow and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Zionism? Is anti-Zionism the same as anti-Semitism? When is criticism of Israel fair and when unfair? Who decides who is a Jew? What is the present state of Yiddish? Is the stereotype of the Jewish-American princess funny or anti-Semitic? Is there a new anti-Semitism or is it the same as the old anti-Semitism? Why are so many Jews attracted to science? Professor Jeffry V. Mallow addresses these and many other questions in Zionist Diarist and Other Polemics, a collection of essays on the condition of the Jews over the last several decades. Jeffry V.

Download or read book God Laughed written by Hershey H. Friedman and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humor has had a profound effect on the way the Jewish people see the world, and has sustained them through millennia of hardships and suffering. God Laughed reviews, organizes, and categorizes the humor of the ancient Jewish texts—the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud, and Midrash—in a clear, readable, and accessible manner. These works have influenced the Jewish people in many ways, and all are replete with humor and wit. Inevitably, this oeuvre of Jewish humor has itself influenced generations of comics, as well as genres of humor. The authors use examples of Biblical humor from several broad categories, including irony, sarcasm, wordplay, humorous names, humorous imagery, and humorous situations. Because their primary purpose is not to entertain, but to teach humanity how to live the ideal life, much of the humor in the Talmud and the Midrash has a single purpose: to demonstrate that evil is wrong and even, at times, ludicrous. This may help explain why approximately 1,500 years after its closing, the Talmud is still such a fascinating work. God Laughed is the latest addition to Transaction’s Jewish Studies series.

Download or read book Gandhi Portrait of a Friend written by E Stanley Jones Foundation and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the day that Mahatma Gandhi was killed, I arrived in Delhi just an hour and a quarter before the tragedy ... the greatest tragedy since the Son of God died on the cross." So begins this compelling account of Gandhi by E. Stanley Jones, the world-renowned missionary evangelist to India during 40 seething years of struggle. Based on an intimate knowledge and understanding, Jones's revealing interpretation was written in gratitude to Gandhi, who, although they often disagreed, showed Jones "more of the spirit of Christ than perhaps any other . . . in East or West." "Martin Luther King, Jr., told me he owed a debt to my father for his book on Mahatma Gandhi. He had read many books on Gandhi, read his writings, but it was that particular book of my father's that had triggered his decision to use the method of ... nonviolence in his civil rights movement for his people." --Eunice Jones Mathews "Highly recommended."--Library Journal "To understand the meaning of this great leader ... read this book of interpretation."--Kirkus "Jones ... possesses a great gift of sympathetically interpreting the East to the West."--[London] Times Literary Supplement
