OverviewThere have been many great Jewish humoristsSid Caesar, Groucho Marx, George Burns, Mel Brooks, to name but a fewbut is there such a thing as Jewish humor? Ben Eliezer sees it as the ultimate ethnic humorfull of received slights and insults (real and imagined), self-mocking, and making light of disastrous circumstances. Then there are the usual preoccupations with mothers, doctors, food, sex, death, and money. But ultimately, as the author notes, Jewish humor is like all humorit s there to make you laugh.
