funny

This is a funny book. Whenever I used to think of Yiddish humor, I thought of Jackie Mason, Groucho Marx, Woody Allen.Now I learn that theirs was just Jewish humor. The Jews really get their humor from the Yiddish. Now whenever I think of Yiddish humor, I think of this book and I fall off my chair laughing. Buy this book!

So it ain't Shakespeare....

But it IS a unique way to practice and learn Yiddish (including some terms you won't find in the usual Yiddish stories, works). And it IS humorous and it does have a uniquely Jewish slant. Not ALL the jokes are dirty, by the way. If you like ethnic or cultural humor, this one is worth buying.
