tomorrow morning I’m speaking (in easy Hebrew and Yiddish) at the Tao Center in Herzlia-Pituach about Jewish Humor. The details are here: פוסטר סופי-סופי 9.1.2023.
Until I wrote the talk I didn’t know what a great subject it is and how I go at it from a completely different angle. The museum ANU, for example, has a big exhibit on Jewish humor – that’s pretty much American and Israeli pop culture. Humor around the world, humor in the ghetto, humor for Jews, humor of Jews to entertain non-jews … it’s such a complicated issue.
My talk is at 10 – come and keep me company.
