	Jewish humour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Jewish humour refers to a long tradition of humor in Judaism dating back to the Torah and the Midrash, but generally refers to the more recent stream of verbal, self-depreciating and often anecdotal humor originating in Eastern Europe and which took root in the United States over the last hundred years.
		Rabbi Moshe Waldoks, a scholar of Jewish humor, argued: "You have a lot of shtoch, or jab, humor, which is usually meant to deflate pomposity or ego, and to deflate people who consider themselves high and mighty.
		Jewish humor continues to exploit stereotypes of Jews, both as a form of in-humor and as a defense.

	Jewish philosophy : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online
		The confidence of the practitioners of Jewish philosophy in the conceptual vitality and continually renewed moral and spiritual relevance of the tradition is typically the reflex of an existential commitment to that tradition and to the people who are its bearers.
		One is a tendency to historicism, that is, the equivocal equation of norm with facticity and facticity with norm that leads to an abdication of philosophical engagement for a detached clinical posture or an equally unwholesome surrender of judgment to the flow of events.
		Jewish philosophy has over the course of its history been the source of a number of different types of study based on the philosophically relevant ideas of the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinic Law (Halakhah), Rabbinic theology and Rabbinic homiletics, exegesis and hermeneutics (midrash) (see Bible, Hebrew; Halakhah; Theology, Rabbinic; Midrash).

	Introduction to compilation on humour and laughter
		Faith and humour, of course, are not mutually exclusive, and religious people everywhere are recognising that not having a sense of humour or a sense of fun can risk being alienated by a secular and cynical society.
		Wisdom, humour and indeed joy are the bridges that connect the material with the spiritual, and are essential ingredients in "walking the spiritual path with practical feet".
		There are many different forms of humour from the base to the sophisticated, the drier, broader, sharper, gentler, the cruel, the sardonic, the sadistic or the kind of humour that is charged with sexuality.

		The joke seems to say that if a sense of humour is used as the touchstone of humanity, the Jews are almost too human for their own good.
		And it is certainly true that some of the best of what we call Jewish humour is directed by Jews against themselves, with a backhanded kind of aggression that condemns and congratulates us at the same time.
		Humour has served the Jews as a marvellous means of dealing with their increasing levels of anxiety.

		One of the reasons the secretary may have concluded that we were in the habit of joking was her presence at a tense department meeting the previous week, when we had to vote on the appointment of a new senior member of faculty.
		Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar—a day of fasting and atonement, the climax of the ten days of awe, when God is said to weigh a person’s deeds on the ultimate scale of good and evil and thereby to determine his fate for the coming year.
		Jewish humor is quite aware of this possibility, but Jewish humor may also be one of its symptoms.

		They provided not just humour but a special body of experience from their Jewish heritage that met the needs of America at various points in its history.’1.
		Meanwhile British Jewish comedians have on the whole steered well clear of referring to their Jewish identity and culture as a source of comedy.
		The Jewish immigrants in America at the turn of the twentieth century had not only lived through pogroms in Eastern Europe but by moving to America had in fact escaped from the grasp of the anti-Semites and the impending doom of the holocaust.

		Humour aside, Seth’s identity as a child of intermarriage allows The OC to incorporate Jewish elements into mainstream Christian traditions that are ubiquitous on the small screen.
		And while Judaism on mainstream television has often evoked controversy, or been a source of shame or struggle for characters (as is the case on The West Wing for the Toby Ziegler and Josh Lyman characters), The OC portrays it as a positive source of identity.
		Of course, you might wonder whether it is only cool for a character to be Jewish if he or she is half-Jewish, and if the person is both willing and culturally able to mix Judaism with the culturally dominant religion.

		Humour is completely the opposite: principles count for little, everything is taken literally, the consequences are expected of you (this is why humour is not transmitted through plays on words, puns, which are of the signifier, and like a principle within the principle).
		Jewish humour versus Greek irony, Job-humour versus Oedipus-irony, insular humour versus continental irony, Stoic humour versus Platonic irony, Zen humour versus Buddhist irony, masochist humour versus sadist irony, Proust-humour versus Gide-irony, etc. The whole destiny of irony is linked to representation, irony ensures the individuation of the represented or the subjectivation of the representer.
		It is humour which makes a language stammer, which imposes on it a minor usage, or which constitutes a complete bilingual system within the same language.

		In the Jewish museum where I saw the Overijssel poster, the main exhibits are precious objects from synagogues.
		Picturesque it may have been, but that much-vaunted quality lay in the eye of the beholder: the hawkers of oranges, second hand suits, or broken cups and saucers would have gladly sacrificed picturesqueness for decent clothes and a decent meal in their stomachs.
		The essence of Jewish humour is perhaps a capacity for irony, a dismissal of life’s disasters with a joke at one’s own expense.

		Still, one profound and deeply sad detail of the Jewish films of the seventies is that like their non-Jewish counterparts, their depiction of, and lack of inclusion of women as equals was pathetic.
		Yet almost all of these films were essentially brilliant comedies, and part of the basic self-loathing behind Jewish humour encompasses an affection for the finer elements of the mother you hate to love.
		The Jewish culture is no stronger than any other, but between the long-suffering persecution, the fastidious religious foundations, and the particular type of humor that celebrates such hardships, there is something that one can ultimately define as a Jewish sensibility.

		These two challenges obviously face the compilers of humour collections more than they face mere reviewers - how to decide what is funny, and how to be funny enough that readers don't get irritated at the mere pretention of the claim to be a book of good jokes.
		In fact, the way in which the book is organised adds a lot to the compilation, and it is clear that the editors did put thought into their work.
		Realising the dire consequences of such an event, and fearing a pogrom, the Jewish community instinctively gathered in the synagogue to plan whatever defensive actions were possible under these circumstances.

		In a way, with the arguments of the imitation Nazis, and the "revolutionary" communists, the pattern of life is both touchingly human, and comically sarcastic of how men are "seemingly" separated with each other.
		Although the Jewish communal environment seeps through the wonderful story, the later union with the gypsies who are also seeking a haven, relents to truly human and comic parody of the WWII era.
