Rabbi Joseph Telushkin is as celebrated for his wit as for his scholarship. In this entertaining book, he displays both in equal measure, regaling us with one punch line after another, interspersed with perceptive insights into what Jewish humor tells us about how Jews see themselves, their families, and their friends, and what they think about money, sex, and success. This humorous and wise portrait of the Jewish collective unconscious is destined to become the classic work on the subject.
