The Big book of Jewish humor

This anthology is notable for its extensive historical scope, including not only contemporary jokes and anecdotes but also selections from classic Jewish writers and thinkers, providing a deep dive into the evolution of Jewish humor over centuries. It also features a significant number of cartoons and visual gags, which is less common in similar collections.

William Novak is also known for his work as a ghostwriter and editor for various public figures, bringing a seasoned editorial eye to this collection. Moshe Waldoks is a scholar of Jewish culture and humor, and his academic background contributes to the depth and organization of the material, distinguishing it from more casual compilations.
