Jewish Humor: A History in Five Jokes

How do you talk about Jewish humor? With jokes! Jeremy Dauber of Columbia University offers a wide ranging treatment of Jewish comedy over two millennia- including the greatest Jewish joke in history. (At least in one man's opinion.) Presented in partnership with the National Museum of American Jewish History.

This program is part of our year-long series, Jews Beyond Reason: Celebrating Emotion, the Unconscious, and Other Dimensions of Jews' Inner Lives. In partnership with local host institutions, our aim is to connect fellows and colleagues with non-academic audiences in a spirit of shared exploration and mutual engagement.
