What’s the Deal with Jewish Comedy? | Mendel Kalmenson
Why have Jewish comedians played such a huge role in shaping the world of comedy? In this fascinating (and yes, funny) talk, author Mendel Kalmenson explores Jewish humor as more than just entertainment. Drawing on Torah, history, and culture, he reveals how Jewish comedy reflects a unique way of thinking rooted in deep spiritual perspective. Humor becomes a lens for understanding Jewish identity, values, and worldview.
