Stop Me if You've Heard this One: Converting for Jewish Humor Parts 1 & 2

56 min•5 december 2020

There's a great Seinfeld episode where a friend of Jerry's decided to convert to Judaism strictly for the humor.  I totally get that. I'm not Jewish, but I have had a fascination with the brilliance of their wit since I was a kid watching stand-up comedians on Ed Sullivan.  You'll hear me say in Episode #1 how Jewish humor appreciation was a must have if a relationship with a woman was to go anywhere. That's not hyberbole.

So when I found out that Ruth Wisse had written a book called "NO Joke: Making Jewish Humor," I had to track her down and get her on Common Threads.  I did. Now enjoy.

Theme music "Nigal."
