More about the book

Exploring the unique characteristics of Jewish jokes and humor, this book presents a radical theory linking their origins to the biblical figures Sarah and Abraham. It suggests that their relationship with God and the meaning of their son Isaac's name, which translates to "laughter" in Hebrew, signifies a profound connection between Jewish identity and humor. Through this lens, the author delves into the cultural significance of laughter within the Jewish tradition.
