Overview
This book focuses on what is distinctive and unusual about Jewish jokes and Jewish humor. The book makes a "radical" suggestion about the origin of Jewish humor, namely, that Sarah and Abraham's relation to God, and the name of their son Isaac (which, in Hebrew, means laughter), recognizes a special affinity in Jews for humor.
