This interdisciplinary collection of essays assesses Jewish humor as a subject of serious scholarly inquiry. Scholars from England, France, the United States, Denmark, Israel, and Australia explore Jewish humor from a variety of perspectives, including anthropology, literature, psychology, sociology, and religion. Individual essays focus on linkages with language, religion, and historical traditions, study characteristics such as gallows humor, self-disparagement, and stereotyping, analyze distinctions between humor in Israel and in the diaspora, and discuss the contributions of Jewish humorists and comic performers and Jewish theorists of humor.
