Our sages teach us that a shiur should begin with a joke. Doing so will get the students into a good mood, and the message will be better received. And so it is with A Bit of Wit, A World of Wisdom (Volume 2). The book is a delightful compilation of mussar and self-help messages that all begin with a joke or funny story. - Rabbi Ari Enkin, Torah Book Reviews blog
