English Jokes, Yiddish Punchlines


Tuesday, April 28, 6:30 pm

The next stop on our rando, walk through Jewish history and culture will be hosted by Howard Schickler and will keep us closer to home in time and place. Eddy Portnoy elucidates the history of a distinctly American Jewish joke telling phenomenon in which the bulk of a joke is told in English, but the punchline is delivered in Yiddish and explores some of the reasons for the existence of this comedic phenomenon.

 

If you would like materials ahead of time, please contact Howard. Meeting over zoom.
