ALI: Jewish Humor Through the Sages: Humor in the Torah

Instructor: Maurice M. Mizrahi, Ph.D., retired Defense Department expert on defense technology and arms control, and lifelong Judaism scholar and teacher 

We often think of the Torah and Talmud as dry, legalistic tomes, and the ancient rabbis as always serious and somber. But that is not the case! The books of Jewish scriptures and other sacred writing are full of humorous stories and episodes that will surprise you (and may even make you laugh). If you’ve ever wondered where Jewish humor came from, here’s your chance to go right to the source!
