Review: Kosher Humor - If you are Jewish and Have a Sense of Humor You Will Like this. Laughter is Good Medicine.
Review: The best compilation of Jewish humor I've found - This books is the gold standard for its genre. I've purchased it multiple times for others. In many sections, the editors' marginal comments give better explanations for the historical, literary, and logical context than I've seen in scholarly treatments. Much of the book contains excerpts from longer works, some of which I like very much and others which I could do without, but there's always a rationale for the included material and how it relates to the cultural and historical contexts of Jewish humor. And the marginal notes often include additional, relevant jokes that are as good or better than the featured sections. Some of the material is more interesting than funny, but a lot of it is really funny as well-- and if you don't get the jokes at first, this is the kind of book that (on repeated readings) could help you to get the humor over time. I'm a big fan.
