Hi David. What a great service you
give us! Go for the century!
[Ron

Ha ha ha. Thank you for
some good laughs

Mazel Tov on the 90th set of Jewish jokes!
I don't know where they are coming from! But that's okay! So keep sending
these sets of jokes! The 100th set can't be far away!
[Richard
K, New York, USA]
Thanks David; this one (90th set) really
gave me a laugh; Win the Day!
[Dave
M, USA]
David, another great batch as usual. Thank
you, I needed that!
[The
IrRev, Kansas, USA]
Dear David, Thanks for the latest set of
jokes. Just wanted to tell you how much my father enjoyed the copy
of 'The Ultimate Book of Jewish Jokes' I'd ordered for him through Amazon.
[Judy
S, Aosta, Italy]
Great site - it's the best!
[Yvonne
B, UK]
Thanks David. I can always count on you to
come through with humor the best medicine
[Dave
M, USA]
David, another tour de' force collection
(89th set). I think this is one of the best. I couldn't stop laughing after
the first one and almost did not read the rest. That first joke is one
of the best I have heard for a while. Keep up the good work. However, I
have to wonder if that one did not belong in your naughtier section. Either
way it is great! Thank you and mazeltov.
[The
IrRev, Kansas, USA]
David, There is no better way to get through
the winter then warm up with these incredible jokes! I have shown
your website to quite a few people and have not gotten any threatening
emails or letters yet! Every time I tell one of these jokes to a crowd
of people, they give me the clap!
[Richard
K, New York, USA]
Congratulations on the 88th set of Jewish
Jokes. It's beginning to dawn on me that the sets of jokes will just keeping
coming and coming. Why? Because we Jews have the best sense of humor and
are among the most creative. We can turn almost anything into a laugh.
This also shows a heightened sense of self-reflexivity and intelligence.
[Richard
K, New York, USA]
Congratulations on the rousing success of
your book - I told you it was funny!
[Herb
G, Washington D.C., USA]
Greetings David. I saw your site after Googling
the words 'Jewish Jokes' on the internet. Wonderful website, with so many
good jokes that I have never heard of. My social life is assured for the
next twenty years. More power to your pen.
[Martin
B, Johannesburg, S Africa]
Dear David, I have lost the citation to a
joke and wondered if it was on your site (which I adore!) where I first
read it about a year ago. Cheers and keep up the good work.
[Andrew
B, Australia]
David. A superb site. Allegedly, according
to my zaydeh (see its catching!) being from Jewish extraction, having come
over with the Huguenots, but leaving the faith, I have always had a love
of Jewish Humour.
[Ron
V, UK]
David, Thank you for the jokes - some
of them are versions of ones I have been telling for years and others are
completely brand spanking new. Keep them coming, they are fabulous!
[Peter
G, Australia]
Shalom Outstanding humour cleverly
compiled. I salute you.
[Tom

I was looking for Yiddish jokes on the Web,
found some specialized Websites and eventually found yours which is, according
to me, far better than the others ;-) and also more practical to browse.
[Franck
F, Paris, France]
David, Excellent batch of jokes! "What -
you didn't like the other ones!?" (Hebonic response - I learn quickly!)
[The
IrRev JSB, Kingman, Kansas, USA]
Shalom, Thank you so much for your jokes, all 84 sets were a pleasure to read. It must have you taken ages to compile all these jokes - what a great page! Of course some of the jokes simply don’t work retelling them in German, and my all-time-favourite joke is not funny in English either. But as you’ve learned your Yiddish, you might understand it without footnotes.
Moishe and Ben are visiting an exhibition of modern art. They are fascinated by a picture showing whatever.[H-L S, Graz, Austria]
Ben claims: “This is a portrait!”
Moishe: “Definitely not! It’s a landscape.”
They are starting arguing whether it was a portrait or a landscape, when they finally look at the title of the picture, “Mandelbaum an der Riviera” *
Ben: “Nu, I'm right. It’s a portrait.”
* Almond tree at the Riviera
Mandelbaum: Jewish Surname
Hi David My son was married last
week ( oh how time flies) my speech was a huge hit thanks to your jokes
and I sang a song at the end, a rewritten version of the Irish
ballad “Danny Boy” Thank you so much.
[Roy,
Australia]
Hi David, Been wading through your website
over the past few days. Brilliant. Lots of jokes I already knew but much
better presentation. Also lots of very good new stuff. Keep it up.
I live in Kent. Neither Jewish, nor do I follow any other religion. I think
Jewish people have a way of telling jokes that's hard to beat. How long
have you been working on the site? What gave you the inspiration to do
it? How well is it received by the Jewish community? Do you get much
other feedback? Best regards
[Brian
C, Kent, UK]
David, That's Great news (re Quill nomination).
I have that book, and I love it. I had purchased it a while back,
read it, shared it with many others, even bought one for my mother.
It truly is a wonderful book. The award is well deserved!
[April,
Florida, USA]
Your fabulous wunnnnnnerful, mechiyehdicken
book "OY" is such ah treasure of pleasure. The joy of turning a page &
laffing uncontrollably & then retelling the 24 carat gold schtick to
others just makes my goal in life that much sweeter. Thanks to you David
for the great joy you've brought into my life & enabling me to enjoy
your great efforts & sharing it with others.
[Norm
K, Michigan, USA]
David. I enjoyed reading about you in the
JC yesterday. It's always reassuring to learn of others who refuse to take
life too seriously and who can find humour in almost everything. Mazeltov
to you.
PS. I nearly wee'd myself 4 times
today with your RESTAURANT (though you cheated: I don't believe for 1 minute
that guy's name was 'Isaac'!) and RABBI jokes.
[Bernard
S, UK]
Oh well done – you bring a lot of pleasure
to a lot of people.
[Adele

Mazeltov for the nimination of the Quill
Book Award 2007. This is definitely a feather in your cap!
Quill -- feather, get it? I can vouch for your title, but I'm
not so sure about the other four nominations in the Humor category!
[Richard
K, USA]
Always a ray of sunshine...thank you.
[Cliff

Hi, thanks a million - you do a fantastic
job: it makes life worth living. Cheers,
[Ron

Mazeltov on the 82nd set of Jewish Jokes!
Each of these jokes is a gem. And, as I am known on the Upper West Side
as being somewhat of an obnoxious joker, I can't thank you enough for all
of the new venereal, I mean, material!
[Richard
K, USA]
David, Thank you, and yes I have seen them
both on your site. I find it amazing that humor seems to be such a common
bond between people.
[The
IrRev JSB, Kingman, Kansas, USA]
My dear David, some of your current set of
jokes (#82) made me laugh out loud. Thanks for keeping me entertained.
Fondest regards,
[Judy
S, Aosta, Italy]
Hi, thanks a million - you do a fantastic
job: it makes life worth living. Cheers
[Ron
L, UK]
Thanks David, I hope you enjoy it (the poem)
as much as I enjoy your site. Feel free to pass it along.
[Austin
L, Philadelphia, USA]
Hi David, I need to make a 60th birthday
toast next Saturday. Do you have any updated material on this I could use?
Thanks and best regards.
Thanks David, I managed thanks to you a very good toast to my friend. Many
many thanks. Cheers Adrian

Hi. Thanks for your great service to the
humour-loving public - your site is pure joy. Regards

Re 9th set of naughtier Jewish jokes, XXX#176:
Haha!!! Good one! I can’t look my (Jewish) dentist in the eye anymore!
[Rifki,
Edgware, UK]
Hi David! Thanks so much, I have shared
your marvellous site with a dear friend at work, he just loves it.
Do you do a stand up routine? I would love to hear your delivery on some
of those jokes (maybe I'll get to see you someday on BBC America on some
comedy special...) Thanks for
the notice on the 9th set of jokes. It makes my day when I get the
new joke sets. Thanks so very much
[April,
Florida, USA]
Sometime ago I googled the name of a collegue. I found her name on the site of a Jewish Community. It had also a few jokes from your site on it. ( it is liberal community) This way I found your website. I like the jokes very much. I read your article on Boris Tomashefsky at the website awordinyoureye. The joke with the woman and the baker reminded me of a line in a movie. The movie is To live and die in L.A. (1985) and is written by Gerald Petievich (novel and screenplay) and William Friedkin (screenplay). I found the quote on IMBD.com.
To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)[AH, Netherlands]
Ruth Lanier: How much do I get for the information I gave you on Waxman?
Richard Chance: No arrest, no money.
Ruth: It's my fault he's dead? It took me six months to get next to him. I got expenses, you know.
Richard: Guess what? Uncle Sam don't give a sh*t about your expenses. You want bread, f**k a baker.
Ruth asked her question after a sexual encounter with Richard.
Hi David. At my age I have a great deal of
time to lay and think. Having read your book once, cover to cover, I am
now reading each category from the last to the first. I can see I missed
a lot of laughs the first time going through. If the good Lord ever came
out with a book of humour any better than yours, he kept it for himself.
[Stan
C, USA]
If there exists a better collection of Jewish
jokes in print or on the web, I have never seen it... your site is a veritable
borscht belt in cyberspace.
[Scott
W, Boston, MA]
Your Jokes are ALL the best
[Aubrey,
Brighton, UK]
Thanks for the update and continued good
luck with your repertoire of jokes. I just looked at one of the naughtier
ones on your web site and the first one I read made me laugh out
loud - "for your cough!!!" What a gold mine! As
Jimmy Durante might have said in reference to your collection, "You've
got a million of 'em!" By the way, because your joke collection
is so voluminous and "laugh-out-loud" funny, do you know why you or your
works have not been publicized in the mass media, especially talk shows
and comedy shows? Some of the jokes are really some of
the funniest I have ever heard or read and I just can't understand why
you are not known about. Have a good one!
[Herb
G, Washington D.C., USA]
Dear David, Mazel Tov and Congrats on the
79th set of Jewish Jokes! I am quite impressed that your inquiry
for a joke about Thomashevsky received so many replies so quickly!
This shows another aspect concerning your Jewish Jokes website. It
is a useful research tool for finding different versions of Jewish Jokes,
as well as finding a joke that someone has vaguely remembered from childhood,
or for someone who is looking for a Jewish joke on a particular topic.
Thanks again for this very rich archive and tool!.
[Richard
K, USA]
I am a gentile and I found your book hilarious
and also edifying; I'm sure many other gentiles will tell you the same
- the Jewish glossary is a godsend and has helped me expand my Jewish vocabulary
(why is "maven", one of my favorites, omitted?) Bottom
line, Mel Brooks is your proof your book is a prize winner - I've found
that your best friends will endorse whatever deserves endorsement and will
avoid any involvement if not, so you have a winner! I have to be
honest and say at least 5 of the jokes were among the funniest I've ever
read or heard and I literally choked with laughter when I read the punch
lines - that's hard to do, because I am a comedy connoisseur and I only
laugh out loud when a joke is a prize winner, and you had a goodly number
in your book. So, in a nutshell, and I hate to tell you this, OY! should
make you and your web site so popular, you're going to have to expand your
staff to contend with the feedback the public will bestow upon you - mark
my works on that! Steve Allen's "This Could be the Start of Something
Big" is what you can expect from your venture and I just hope you'll be
able to handle all the feedback from the public. Thanks for responding
and have a good one!
[Herb
G, Washington D.C., USA]
And I'm still laughing out loud at OY!
Mel Brooks should have said "many times" when he plugged your book with
his comment of laughing out loud, because he had to laugh out loud more
than once, like I did! Some of the laugh-out-loud jokes were
so funny, I actually had to put the book down to recover - those were the
very hilarious ones, and many of the others were not far behind!
I posted 5 stars as the review on Amazon,
but, because I had a library copy of your book, I could not post a review.
I will alert others to the book and your web site, especially seniors,
because seniors, Jewish and non-Jewish, should have no trouble identifying
with many of the jokes. Keep up the good work and I hope more of
the public finds out about your laugh-out-loud gold mine! Good luck and
have a good day!
[Herb
G, Washington D.C., USA]
Dear David, Thank you very very much!!!!!
They are fabulous…I even think his great grand mother (who is the biggest
joke teller of the family) will be surprised that she hasn’t heard most
of these!! I definitely won’t pass them on to anyone else. I really
appreciate your help, thanks kindly,
Where can I find some good jokes that are appropriate for a Barmitzvah
boy to tell at his Barmitzvah??? Everyone is our family are big joke tellers
and we can’t find many they all haven’t heard. If you can give me some
ideas that would be wonderful. Thanks a million
[Justine
S, Claremont, West Australia]
David. I’m looking for the joke that is the
parody-list of kosher foods from paskin de-rabbanan (baskin robbins) ice
cream store …like "arba kan-float" and "mee ka-mocha". The list was about
10 - 20 items long. Have you seen it and is it on your website?
Thanks
[Larry
A, Seattle, WA, USA]
Hi David. Just spent an hour browsing your
excellent site and comments from other contributors and viewers.
As a 60+ person with no particular faith, but who admires the truly Jewish
style of humour, I have however seen many variants of some of your jokes
"doing the rounds" in various nationalities or religions now for over 30
years or so. Perhaps you might consider reclassifying your sections
into can only be Jewish jokes and international jokes i.e. it doesn't
matter who the participants are, they are just extremely funny jokes.
[Peter
J, Milton Keynes, UK]
Hi, I am trying to help a friend find a good
joke for a Bar Mitzvah... any suggestions?
THANKS!! I appreciate your taking time to help out like this!
I am not a Jew myself so some of these go over my head. I will write
you again when I have read them all, but I wanted to write back to thank
you for your help!
The Bar Mitzvah is next weekend this is
very greatly appreciated!
[Jim,
New Hampshire, USA]
Dear David Thank you for your patience.....I
got it and really like it. I also got your latest version.
With much appreciation. I really appreciate good humor and the idea
of your website. Thanks and Happy New Year to you and your loved
ones. I do not have any jokes, but I do have a very good sense of humor.
[Jackie
C, Florida, USA]
Hi. We have a Jewish newsletter for our synagogue
in London. It is for the Children and we occasionally need some kid friendly
jokes for the newsletter. Can we get them from your website please?
We do not sell this newsletter as it is for the synagogue youth service!
Our shul is in Finchley. We help run the Sephardi Youth Service and of
course write the newsletter. I will send
you a copy of it soon.
[Melanie
A, London, UK]
Love your site...what a collection--OY!
I was hoping you could help me find a Jewish humorous poem. Every New Year's
Eve a bunch of get together and are required to bring a poem. Do you have
any to share?? Funny is good for the soul. Hag Samaach,
[Jane
J, Buffalo, NY]
Hi David, I hope you can help me. It's my
60th birthday next week and my family are putting on a big party for me.
During my speech, I would like to tell a really good joke that relates
to my age etc. Can you please help?
Many thanks for the jokes. You have done a fantastic job for me. The ones
I like the best are numbers 602, 909, 1029, 1248, 1352 and 1566, and will
use these through the night. Thanks also for the bits and pieces for my
speech. Wish you a very happy Hanukah. Thanks again
[Adrian
L, New Zealand]
David, Thanks to your "Oy" book. Got it for
a gift. Your book is the best medicine - I’ll outlive myself! Can't stop
laffing! Schtick from the book, which I use every day, is just
‘ahhhhhhh mechiyeh!’
How did u come to get into comedy, with such a cache of great jewish schtick?
I’ve read other jewish funny schtick, but only 3 of 15 were actually funny!
Your "Oy" book was absolutely hysterical. Great quality, consistently.
You're the greatest.
[Norm
K, Michigan, USA]
Thank you for all this stuff but why no searching
tool??? Here’s a little joke:
My wife says to me, “What’s happened to
you? Why are you still in your pyjamas in the afternoon? Are you
depressed?” “Oh no,” I reply, “I’m not depressed. When
I’m really depressed, I want you to make love to me. Today, I just want
to read jokes from awordinyoureye.com”
[David
R, Versailles, France]
Dear David, Mazeltov on your OY! book. Every
joke is 24 carat gold. Your machiyehdicken, wonderful, fabulous, phenomenal,
terrific, out of this world, funyeh, book is very rare! I'm starving for
funny, funny material. Yours is the 1st & only funny book, where every
funny, bar none, is hysterically funny. Others I've read 1 out of 8 is
funny. I'll be a young 80 in the body & 18 in the mind. I love to make
people smile & laugh. Your book has helped me make that dream a reality.
Bless you. I'd love to have an autographed copy of your book. Thank you
for the OY! book. Good health to you. Lachiyam.
I really loved your book. NON-STOP LAUGHTER. Thank you for
your comical & talented genious ability!
P.S My wife & I were married for 49
yrs. She passed away 3 yrs ago. I'm dedicating the rest of my life to making
people smile /laff.
[Norm
K, Michigan, USA]
Dear David, Many thanks for the new set of
jokes. I think the least I can do is to acknowledge the pleasure your site
gives me. They really made me smile, and, believe me, I needed cheering
up this morning. Fond regards to you from the Italian Alps.
[Judy
S, Aosta, Italy]
Hello David. Love the site - have been reading
it for quite a while now & the sheer volume is amazing. I hope
you will continue to add to the website.
[David
S, UK]
I’m looking for the joke about building 2
synagogues on an island. Would you mind sending
it to me please. I need it for a presentation that I am typing.
Thanks so much. The first one is the exact one I was looking for. You have
done a good mitzvah!!!
[Ros
C, South Africa]
I can see your book is doing very well here
in States. Anybody that hasn't purchased your book yet has no way of knowing
what they are missing. They don't realize that it will pay them back tenfold
in mirth, merriment, and memories. This is one book that will be kept and
handed down in the family for years to come.
[Stan
C, USA]
Hi David, A while ago I sent you a note about
a joke I found duplicated in your huge and fantastic website. I've
spent the last ... oh, year or so ... occasionally reading your jokes when
I needed a break at work (fantastic break material), and as I did so, I
jotted down whenever I found duplicates in various places, or other comments
/ suggestions. So, I am sending you the whole schmere right now.
Thanks so much, by the way, for making this wonderful website! It's
great. All the best, and again, thanks
[Dan]
While the whole world is absolutely meshuggah
these days, you with your new set of Jewish jokes are an island of sanity
in this insane world! I really mean it!
[Richard
K, USA]
I edit a newsletter for our local branch
of the NCT (national childbirth trust - a charity). Is it ok to include
one of your jokes (What a Day from the 61st Set)? The newsletter is not
sold and is circulated to members only. Many thanks.
[Adrienne,
UK]
David, I continue to enjoy your website and
enjoy the jokes very much. They make a great resource for my sermons! Thank
again.
[Reverend

David: Please keep em' coming! …..
laughter is the pinnacle of life. G-d gave us the ability to laugh,
& for unknown reasons, that laughter is much more healthier than medications
at large….. If there is no laughter, there is no life!
Keep smiling!

Shalom, Brother David! A fellow told
his doctor that he’d never felt better in his life — “ ... and I think
that it’s time that I do.” I just got your book Oy! and look
forward to many pleasant hours with it. If I survive it, I’ll get the other
one, too.
[Ken

Just love your website. The Jewish jokes
are fabulous. The non-Jewish jokes don't take a back seat. Keep it going!!
Very enjoyable. We need laughter.

that one is super!
[April,

Dear David, I just stumbled across
awordinyoureye.com whilst looking for some funny videos and was very impressed
with your website. Once again congratulations with your website – It’s
nice to see a site which has obviously had time and effort put into it
- There's so much rubbish on the net these days as you'll no doubt agree??
[Barry

Hi David, Having over the past few years
read all 74 sets of Jewish jokes, I feel I can safely say that on your
74th set you really excelled. It is beyond any doubt the best set you ever
put out, in my opinion. I have only one question. How in the world would
you ever top that one?
[Stan
C, USA]
Reading "Oy" and enjoying it a lot.
Quick question---in all of your archives, do you have the one about the
doting Jewish grandma and her sickly grandson? Punchline: "Oh,
he can walk, but thanks God, he doesn't have to." Just checking.
A very, very funny book. Kudos.
[Allen
L, Florida, USA]
Hi David, I think it's time to claim my bragging
rights to have been the first person in the USA to have received your book,
The Ultimate Book of Jewish Jokes, when it went into production in London,
England. I also bought 4 extra copies to donate 3 of them to the Manlius
Library in N.Y. That also gives me the bragging rights for putting them
in the first place in the whole country for public viewing. I guess you
could call it my 15 minutes of fame. Best regards
[Stan

Dear David, Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov and Mazel
Tov! We need more laughs instead of guns and war. So thanks for the high
calibre laughs!
[Richard

Dear David, you are amazing, I just looked
at 73rd and did not realise it went on forever but I have to say they did
make me laugh so keep up the good work and make the whole world laugh and
perhaps you can be the one to stop all the wars going on at the moment.
[Freda
D, London, UK]
David, Another great round of jokes, blessings
for your work in providing humor for all us! - and for the sermon aid for
finding great stories. Peace.
[Reverend
B, Kansas, USA]
David, Thank you for the update. I read a
couple of pages a day and pass them along to other appreciative folks.
As a storyteller, involved with the Folklore Society for many years, I've
always enjoyed humorous tales and those that teach us to use our wits to
survive.
I've often wondered who writes these... Where do they come from? They are
always anonymous, yet offer these wonderful little vignettes of life as
they tell so very much about the nature of being human.
I have a friend, a graduate of Harvard Divinity School, who has been taking
trips to Afghanistan for the sole purpose of collecting jokes and teaching
the children there to juggle. Just trying to bring a little joy to their
war-torn home. Last I heard, he was invited to bring his troupe of Afghani
jugglers to tour Japan, although politics promised to interfere with the
plan. He remains undaunted and says he will find a way. Music and humor
are two of the greatest peacemakers we have.
I am thankful for the notes that you include (usually in parenthesis) for
other folks to understand the meaning of some Jewish traditions (and thus,
the gist of the joke!).

[Bert

Dear David, I have contributed one or two
to yr collection & you have emailed. It seems to me that
many non-Jewish jokes could be labelled Jewish with a switch of names/
locations: what is yr policy? Recently I had a great evening
in the theatre with Lionel Blue.
I and family/ friends GREATLY enjoy yr book
- the best collection anywhere. Keep up the good work!!!
Best regards
[Ron
L, UK]
David, I've been enjoying the collection
of Jewish humor that you provide on the internet and wish to thank you
for your efforts. Having heard
a variation of joke #922 (it was in a pizza parlor) the first line of the
swami should be, "Make me one with everything!"
Best wishes
[John
O, Olyphant, Pa, USA]
Dear David, I love your web site. I love
humour of all kinds. And being a Presbyterian Minister (in Kingman Kansas
outside of Wichita), all the rabbi jokes with a few minor changes make
great Presbyterian Minister Jokes! Sometimes at our Presbytery meetings
I believe we have given new life to the Pharisees.
Through your web site (and after having 4 years of German in my schooling)
I am beginning to learn a few yiddish words (Isaac Asimov's book on telling
jokes also helps!) However, I occasionally find words that are not in your
glossary. Otherwise your glossary is very helpful. Keep up the good
work, and thank you for many laughs.
P.S. This summer I am preaching a series
called Bad Boys of the Bible (last year I did Bad Girls of the Bible).
Both series are mostly Old Testament Characters - they are much more interesting
than the New Testament characters (with a few exceptions). Your web site
gave me a number of Adam jokes I could use in my sermon. Thanks again.
[Reverend
B, Kingman, USA]
Greetings David, Love your site, it brings
tears to my eyes. Eat well.
[Yaqirah,
USA]
Hello David. A big Thank You
for your excellent site. It has brought me many hours of great pleasure
and has helped me bring pleasure to others. Telling jokes to family,
friends and strangers is one of my hobbies.
Thanks again for your wonderful site. It's very nicely presented.
Always gives me a lift - and a story to tell at my hosts' Shabbos tables.
[Laurence

I'm thoroughly enjoying myself, occasionally
reading a "set" whenever I need a pick-me-up. Thank you so
much for doing this!
[Dan

I was doing some research on British Jewry,
found somethingjewish web site and found your link. My grandfather (Mom's
side) was a British Jew, so much of the terms are familiar to me.
Most of the jokes make me roar with laughter, Thanks for that.
[April,
Florida, USA]
David, I love your jokes. Where do
you get them? I have enclosed 2 poems I wrote which you may like
(Kombucha is fermented green tea which is feted as champagne in health
food shops and women’s centres). I have an autistic spectrum disorder and
I recite my mad poetry in public.
Regarding the poems that I write, due to my autism I get preconscious streaming
of words in rhythm. Fortunately from where it comes has
a sense of humour. There is nothing like making people laugh.
I so agree with your philosophy. Physically it is an aerobic exercise
improving circulation to your brain which buzzes on the raise in endorphin
levels that is also caused with laughing. Unfortunately I don't have
much conscious imaginative ability - so I can't write jokes. Hey
I can tell stories in rhyme but I'm hopeless without the boundaries of
rhythm. The
comic poetry act is a new idea. I've been playing support to autistic authors
who are on tour. But at these I've been singing as well. I
had it now suggested to me that I should do comedy clubs. My brains
been spewing out comic verse for years but I have only recently been tempted
to take it into the public arena. However I'm a poet who's not really one
for poetry clubs. It was wonderful to discover that I could make people
laugh. I have a plan to get together a book of poems with CD so they
get the performance as well. Cheers
Now to read some more (of your jokes) tee

Asher The FlasherI took up your challenge and found you at No.1 on Google. Just spent a few minutes reading some of the jokes and I’ve got to say they’ve definitely improved with age. Actually, I laughed out loud a few times and within minutes I had most of the Sales Team reading them over my shoulder. If it converts to book sales, I’ll expect a % cut.
Asher The Flasher Old Testament basher
Was partial to eating the odd bacon rasher
And when it came round each year to Yom Kippur
He cried out to God he’d be naughty no more
Dear God I regret I committed a thrill
So if I sin more do with me what you will
Saturday mornings McDonalds in Childwall
Asher the Flasher still spending a windfall
Two breakfast specials and milk shakes to go
Then he’s off to the Shul where he puts on a show
Hava Nagila Shalom Alechem
Firmly convincing that he’s one of them
Then God he grew angry with Asher The Flasher
For being a naughty Old Testament Basher
So when he indulged the next time he was famished
Asher discovered his bollox had vanished.Kombucha Man
Arthur the Kombucha Man
fermented green tea in a pan
until into the vat
fell a flea –ridden cat
which wasn’t quite part of the plan‘Oh, no-one will notice!’ he cried
and to all of his clients he lied
‘This flavour sensation will conquer the nation
I’m sure you’ll be well satisfied!’And it turned out that Arthur was right
as the ladies all gushed with delight
As happy can be
with the new recipe
and they wanted some more overnight‘Oh, Arthur, the taste is sublime
Let us in on the secret sometime
Do we detect a smack of aph-ro-dis-i-ac
To conceal it would be such a crime!’‘Oh, Arthur, dear Kombucha Man
What secret was put in the pan
to make us so frisky?
Did you add some whisky?
We want more as soon as you can!’‘Oh find me a flea-ridden cat
I would pay a kings ransom for that
What on earth can I do
to produce the same brew
‘cos I can’t pull it out of a hat?’‘Oh, sod it, it’s not going to harm them
and it won’t do no good to alarm them
with a wink and a smile
they’ll forget in a while
as I use my charisma to charm themSo, instead of the scheme backing fire
Now Arthur faced wanton desire
They were after his brew
and an extra or two
Just when he was going to retireAnd Arthur still brews to this day
as his ladies continue to say
‘I’m a really big fan
of the Kombucha Man
He’s the ‘Oomph’ in my work rest and play!’
Good Morning, David! Just thought I'd
acknowledge your 70th edition of your ongoing works of delightful (as well
as witty) material! I take this time, now to wish you & yours a Happy,
Healthy & Enjoyable Kosher Pesach (Passover).
Keep up the great work
[Danny

Dear David, I just flew
in from Bowling Green Ohio, boy! are my arms tired! But seriously
folks, I was away for a few days and was presently surprised to see your
70th set of Jewish Jokes. Surely, the 100th set is not too far away!
Keep up the good work. The world needs more laughs! Cordially,
[Richard
K, USA]
Hi David, Wow! You did
it again. You really made my day with that one where the lady says, "Gay
Kakken en yum" that was my mothers, may she rest in peace, favorite saying
to us three kids growing up. It brought back a lot of fond memories. I
can now remember she also said, "go in the middle of the street and scratch
your tuches with a broken bottle." Ah, for the good old days.
[Stan
C. USA]
Dear David, My speciality subject
is Italian literature and social history - remember the first time I wrote
you, about your Italian-Jewish fellow in the joke to name Levi, not Levy?
My subject (a study of the Italian emigrant workers' association founded
by Carlo Levi) led to study of the Jewish writers of Turin, such as Primo
Levi, Carlo Levi, Leone and Natalia Ginzburg...
I'm a translator, so I'm good at researching "odd bits".
Ciao
[Maria
L]
I’m from Canada and have been going to your
site for quite some time. I love the Jewish frame of mind and these jokes
bring it out in force without being condescending. Keep up the good work.
I anticipate any new addition to your site.
[Charles
C, Canada]
Dear David The 69th!
This is fantastic! You surely have the most complete set of Jewish
jokes in the world! This is becoming an archive. If Milton
Berle, the thief of bad gag, were still alive, I'm sure he'd be constantly
on this site for "new material."
[Richard
K, USA]
Hi David Today was one of my
bad downs and lo & behold I got your 69th set of Jewish jokes. As I
started reading them I started giggling at most of them. When I finished
them I looked out the window looking at the sun shining on the snow and
I have to admit that jokes ARE for laughter and laughter like the sun will
brighten your day. It did for me. Don't ever think of stopping.
[Stan
C, USA]
Fabulous site!!!!!!!!!!! Desperate
need of some Purim jokes about latkes vs hamentaschen. Didn't notice/find
a "search" link on your site.
[Paul,
Orlando, Florida, USA]
Hi, I wanted to say how much I enjoy your
website.
[Stuart
B, Ilford, Essex, UK]
Loved your site. Found a typo in the ANNOUNCEMENT,
though..."You ban buy my book..."
[V,
New Jersey, USA]
Hi. I am Gentile, 68, from London,
have lived in Durham, England, for the last 41 yrs (someone has to).
Have read your book – absolutely fabulous!! The best!! My son
gave me your book for Xmas: every morning I read a few jokes to my wife,
so that we start the day happy, and most evenings before bedtime I read
another few, so that we go to sleep happy. She has an affinity with
them, trying to guess the thrust of the endings. Your website is priceless.
Recently attended an evening with Lionel Blue - hilarious. Some of
his are amazing, but not in your book. Love Jewish jokes (do you know Larry
Wilde's "The Last Official Jewish Joke Book", Bantam, 1986?: I assume you
know all of Lionel Blue's books): the best bit is that normally you just
don't see the punchline coming - it's gloriously tangental. The best
ones, I feel, combine tragedy and comedy perfectly.
Keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you've been up to. Regards.
[Ron
L, UK]
Hello David I like your
site especially the diabetes joke, 'I'm tired and thirsty' #323 which I
found when searching Google for a diabetes joke. By the way, I think too
that 'laughter really is the best medicine'. All the Best
[Peter

Hey there. I have just been checking
out your web site and think its fantastic! It has some
cool content…..I liked your site so much…….
[Jason]
I first off want to tell you that your jokes
are hilarious and it's an awesome web site. Keep it up! You
bring joy to so many! I am 20 and I live in West Hempstead, NY.
I like jokes that are clean enough to say so I looked on Google and your
website popped up. Chag Sameach.
[J,
New York, USA]
Dear David, Mazeltov Again!! Keep these coming,
we need these desperately! Cordially, or cornily, Richard
[Richard
K, NY, USA]
Dear David. Shalom from a 1/2 Jew in
St. Petersburg, FL. Love your jokes. Shared them with a Sephardic friend
at work. I told her about the somethingjewish web site (where I found your
link.) It was interesting because she told me she did not associate
the British to anything Yiddish, but I reminded her that there are many
British Jews, Disraeli, many celebrities and my maternal grandad for one.
Thanks so very much for all the wonderful laughs and memories. Shalom
[April.
Florida, USA]
Hi David Just thought you would
like to know that the Manlius Library told me that your new book "The Ultimate
book of Jewish Jokes" is now one of their faster moving books and they
started a waiting list for the 3 copies they have. Kindest
regards.
[Stan
C, USA]
(Re 63rd set of jokes) Mazeltov again!
This is fantastic, and in these absolutely tragic times, we have to have
a laugh. So the saying goes, laughter is the best medicine.
Things could be worse, they could be happening to me! Cordially
[Richard
K, NY, USA]
I was reading your book in bed last night
- so many gems there (particularly about wives and marriage). Kind regards
[Patrick
A, London, UK]
Just to let you know I bought your book.
Great read. Keep up the good work. Miss your dad's Vienna's, they were
part of my regular diet.
[Ray
H, London, UK]
They [the jokes] are great - can I use them
in our shul magazine that is only sent to members?
[Peter
B, Northwood, UK]
Thank you for the jokes: we all laughed like
heck, even the gentiles. I am moving this week, so please keep me
on your list but send emails to this address:
[CDD,
New York, USA]
Hello David. Thanks for the jokes page. Even
though I am not Jewish I thoroughly enjoy the jokes and I am so pleased
that the Jewish community can make so many jokes about themselves.
You are correct in what you are saying, that different jokes appeal to
different people. There is a chap at work whose Christian mother brought
him up in her faith and his father was Jewish. He is obsessed with humour.
His sense of humour has no limits. He can tell jokes that I would never
dream of telling. About
myself. I was born in India. I came to England with my parents when I was
three. I had all of my schooling in England and have been here ever since.
I know that Judaism and its daughter religions do not believe in reincarnation
but in India (even amongst Muslims and other minorities) it is an accepted
fact. Although I cannot prove it I am convinced that I was killed in the
holocaust. During my school days in the 1970s I could never watch “Escape
from Colditz”. Even when I watch a film like Schindler's List I feel that
I have seen it all first hand. Because of this I feel very sympathetic
towards Jews and Israel. All the best for the future.
[RJ,
Leicester, UK]
I saw that someone emailed you requesting
a joke or humor relating to the parsha "vayigash". Do you know of
any? Thank
you so much! My whole family and I love good jokes, and your web
site is great. (boy-12, girl-10, husband and I). I was researching
vayigash because my son is going to be Bar Mitzvahed in January 2006.
The tennis court joke is great because he is a huge tennis player.
Maybe he can try and incorporate it. Thanks again.
[Lisa
K, USA]
Hi David: I must say we waited a long
time for your 7th set of naughtier Jewish jokes to come out, but I also
must say it was well worth the wait. As you say over there in England I
laughed my "arse" off. Keep up the excellent work.
[Stan
C, USA]
Dear David, your jokes are always welcome.
Thanks
[Sylvia
S]
Mazeltov on your 7th set of naughtier jokes.
Thanks!
[Richard
K, NY, USA]
You’re worth every cent! I’ll put an order
in shortly (for your book). Shabbat Shalom from Down Under.
[Ron
E, Australia]
Hi David: Thought you would like to know
I have just loaned out your book for the 3rd time and at this moment I
have two friends on my waiting list. I also tell them how to get copies
to give out for Channakah. It does make a terrific gift at a very low cost.
[Stan
C, USA]
G'day David: My Daughter & Son in Law
(who now live here in Perth ex Austin Texas) knew that I wanted to acquire
your book, so without my knowledge, she ordered it throu' Amazon as a surprise
for me. She thought it would cheer me up. She was right (and so were you)
it cheers you up when you read the jokes, and gets your mind off one's
own problems. I like your book, and
thanks for the mention of my name...already, I have had friends contact
me from London that I haven't heard of for many years.
[Ian
$, Australia]
Hi David: I'm sure you will be pleased
to know that I've just received an emailed joke from a friend (a Professor
at the London South Bank University) that was followed by the accreditation:
From: ‘The Ultimate Book of Jewish Jokes’
by Davod Minkoff, Robson Books.
Shame about the spelling of David, but nice
publicity nonetheless. Hope sales are going well. Best wishes
[Bob,
UK]
Dear David, I think your website is absolutely
wonderful but I have a suggestion. Whilst scouring your website looking
for jokes for my son's Barmitzvah speech, I realised how useful it would
have been to have a search bar. I was desperately searching for jokes
which referred to Barmitzvah's and whilst spending many minutes laughing
out loud at some of the jokes I came across, there were just too many to
go through. I hope you don't mind me making this suggestion
but I feel it would really benefit your huge number of fans.
[Edwina
E, Edgware, UK]
I love your web site.
[Simon
C, Hendon, London, UK]
David. Firstly, my uncle Frank directed
me to your web site -- I haven't laughed so much for years, so thank you.
Secondly, have you thought of cross-indexing the jokes by subject, so that,
for instance, one could just look for mother-in-law jokes?
[David
S, Bishop’s Stortford, UK]
Hi David. loved this site!!
my dad loves telling jokes and for his upcoming 85th birthday, the children
and grandchildren are collaborating to make a book to honor him.
part of it will be some of his infamous jokes. thanks.
[GR,
Aventura, Florida, USA]
I send my doctor (he is from South Africa)
a set of your jokes every week and he in turn sends it to his Mother &
Father who live in Israel...and he was telling me, his Dad looks forward
to receiving them every week, as he has a great laugh in his Shul telling
all these Yiddish jokes.......they certainly get all round the world eh?
[Ian
$, Australia]
David. I must congratulate you with
such a variety of jokes & antidotes! I'm not sure if you realize
this, but there are those who claim that laughter truly heals what ails
you. I, for one, preach that very concept. I love telling
all sorts of jokes, from the very simple type to the truly inhumane style
of humor. I get a true value of satisfaction when I succeed in making
one laugh. Laughter plays a big part in my
life. As a matter of fact, whenever I go through my "shtick"
I get a very good response, & I'm constantly asked if I'm a "stand
up" comic. I respond "yes, but most of the time I sit."
[Daniel
Stein, Israel]
Hello David. I love your site. Thank
you for making me laugh.
[Maggie,
Swansea, Wales]
Hello. I just wanted to send this to
say thank you for the pleasure your web site has given me. Although
I was born and brought up in the Jewish religion I have not kept it up.
My father's funeral was yesterday (an orthodox Jew) and due to family differences
it was particularly distressing. I felt the need today to try and find
the English words for a prayer (Shema Yisrael) that I remember learning
parrot fashion as a child and in my internet search somehow I came across
your site. Although it did not contain what I was looking for, the glossary
brought many memories back and the jokes have lightened my heart.
I expect many people feel the same about the service you have provided
but I just wanted to let you know how much this was appreciated. Thank
you.
[Adele,
Bucks, UK]
Hi David. Many thanks for
the many years of laughter that you have given me. I’m not Jewish
but my wife and kids are. They belong to that group that goes by
the maxim “Apples never fall far from the tree”.
[David
P, Herts, UK]
David: Just stumbled upon your website
– FUNNY STUFF! Can you direct me to a joke suitable for a Bar
Mitzvah speech? My son has completed his speech and he really NEEDS
some humor!! Thanks
for taking the time to send me these. I am sure that I will find
something that works. Your site is great!
[Terry,
Scottsdale, Arizona, USA]
I enjoy your jokes very much and I appreciate
your work in getting them to us. We live in Los Angeles, California.
Except for the town and shopping malls names that are in your jokes, the
humor is very much in the style that we expect Jewish jokes to be in.
Again, thank you for your jokes.
[Judy,
Los Angeles, California, USA]
A treat for the weekend! Many thanks
[George

Thank you for putting up this wonderful site,
it has made my day. I have just had an operation and mopping around not
doing much I came upon this site and what a laugh - so many jokes. I am
from Tanzania (originally), grew up in London UK, lived in Switzerland/Denmark
and now for the last 19 years in Vancouver/Canada. My interest
in the jokes especially Jewish jokes grew in the UK. My boss there was
Jewish from Warsaw in Poland, so there was a lot of humour around where
I worked and lived and I miss that. Well I thank you again and hope you
keep in touch. Nice to meet a fellow humour-filled person.
[SR,
Vancouver, Canada]
I was cocking around on the computer and
went to your website and read every one of the letters in your column "Extracts
taken from your readers". That was equally enjoyable to me as reading your
jokes. I wonder how many other people have taken the time to do the same.
Thanks to you I have many less dreary days in my life now. Warmest
regards.
[Stan
C, USA]
Dear David. First of all thank you so much
for putting up all of those jokes on line. I'm sure it took lots of effort
and I just want you to know that it is really appreciated.
I put out a weekly (free) newsletter in my shul and I wanted to know if
you object if I include your jokes. Thank you very much.
[Rabbi
T, New York, USA]
I live on the west coast. When I was in camp
my father sent me jokes from your site and I asked him where they were
from so he bookmarked the site.
[Boruch
D, West Coast, USA]
Shalom. In case you thought that chutzpah
was a Jewish characteristic, here is one of my favourite examples of it,
from a man who lives locally. In New Zealand, koi carp are pests. They
foul waterways, eat smaller fish, grow big & fat & make nuisances
of themselves. People spend a lot of time, energy and money getting rid
of them. Not so a local farmer. He organises an annual event where people
pay HIM to come and hunt his kois, and there are prizes for the ones who
catch the most! Eager fishers/hunters flock in & pay good money to
keep his koi numbers down. Now, that's chutzpah.
PS If you see Prince Harry, tell him
he's an eejit (with my compliments) and his eejity behaviour made headline
news here in NZ.
[Anna
R, Huntly, New Zealand]
Shalom. Barukh atah Ha-shem, Eloykaynu, melekh
ha-olam. Thank you for a really good laugh. How nice
to find jokes that are really funny and neither silly nor indecent. My
only regret is that I can't forward any of them; is there any way to do
this? They are too good not to share with other kindred spirits. I am from
a small town in New Zealand (Huntly), and I was looking for a Jewish screensaver
when I found your site. I am 1/8 Jewish and very proud of my Jewish heritage
(hence the Hebrew greeting at the top of my email). There are not many
Jewish people in Huntly, I know of only two and possibly a third, but they
are not observant. On the 7th day of Chanukah, I was surprised to see an
attractive display of seven gold candles in a window of a house in the
next street: the next day there were eight. I am not sure what this means
& I am only acquainted with the people to the extent of exchanging
remarks about the weather, garden etc as I pass. So maybe there are four
households with Jewish people in them; at 1/8 I think it would be a cheek
of me to call myself Jewish! Even as a little girl I wanted to be Jewish,
like the family in 'All Of A Kind Family'.
This is undoubtedly far more information than you wanted to hear from a
total stranger on the other side of the world ! I tend to suffer from logorrhea
on the computer. L'chaim!
[Anna
R, Huntly, New Zealand]
Dear David: I enjoy your Jewish joke
website immensely. Someone from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania who knows I like
Jewish jokes sent me your website! I have never looked at it without
having a laugh! I am originally from Chicago, but have been
living in New York City for about 40 years. Despite my being of German-Jewish
extraction (a yekke), I have always been fascinated with Yiddish, and Jewish
humor. I once had a very big collection of Yiddish comedy records.
Also, my father gave me, when I was very young, Freud's book, Jokes and
Their Relation to the Unconscious, which has a lot of Jewish jokes in it.
Being extremely interested in psychoanalysis, I also prepare bi-lingual
texts of Freud, putting the Strachey English translation next to Freud's
original German text, side by side. Attached is my intro to my bi-lingual
edition of Freud's Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, if you
have time to read it. [CLICK HERE TO SEE INTRODUCTION]

Just surfing, you know how it is and I just
LOVE Jewish humour. It’s a brilliant site. My secret though, I may need
the jokes. I don’t want any of my friends to know about the site until
I’ve used the jokes. If they see the site my thunder will be stolen. PS
I’m not Jewish but I guess you need your ‘token’ WASPs.

would you mind sending another Jewish boy the treasures of your website

[Ophra

Your jokes are great. Reading
them and enjoying. I did not know that this site exists.
Keep on writing. Thank you.
[Zehava

Hi David. Firstly, I just wanted to say thanks
for your site. YOU, my dear, are outrageous! Many laughs. I also
want to wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy Chanukah and 2005!!
My father's mother and father were both born in London before settling
in New Jersey (where I'm originally from). I am sorry, very sorry, to say
that I have never been to England, and I am just dying to. We'll see if
I can't make that a priority, seeing that you guys are from England, and
with all the Jewish/yiddish humor, brought that up for me. So bye for now
and again, thank you so much! Warm regards,
[Marla
A, Baltimore, USA]
I have to do a bar mitzvah soon. I’m almost
13 and I need a good joke for my speech. Can you give me anything related
to parsha vayigash within the next week, because it’s really close.
[Anon]
Just came upon your site, and I love it.
Good stuff. I'm just a typical New Jersey lawyer, who spends too
much time poking around on the web. I've been checking the same tired,
old, Jewish joke sites that I bookmarked years ago. For no special reason,
this week, I decided to run a new search for Jewish Jokes, just to see
what sites came up. So I Googled "Jewish Jokes", and somewhere
near the top, your site appeared. I haven't delved too deeply into the
site, because you have a massive amount of material. But I nosed around
for half an hour, and it looks terrific. Good luck with keeping
it going.
[Barry
F, New Jersey, USA]
Nice work I must say, it did give me a good
giggle. Some are hard to explain to the kids, but so much fun.
Thank you.
[Mark
B, Milton Keynes, UK]
Thanks David for a great site. We're
honoring a Jewish doctor tomorrow and we're trying to find Jewish jokes
about honor. It would be great if there was and index of topical jokes.
Thanks.
[Ernie
R, Queensbury NY, USA]
David. Just found your web site.
The jokes are hilarious. How can I forward them to friends without retyping
them on email? I am an amateur when it comes to using my computer.
My cousin, who recently passed away, sent me many good Jewish jokes.
Since I no longer have a source, I tried Jewish jokes by searching the
internet. Yours was one of the choices. I am very thankful that I
tried your array of jokes.
[Eddie
G]
Thanks David, for a great site.
[Ernest
R, Queensbury, NY, USA]
David, now that you have completed your fiftieth
set of jokes, shouldn't there be a celebration? A Jubilee?
Let's call it a Jubilaugh. Regards.
[Charles
K, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA]
David, I originate from Leyton (now Waltham
Forest) in east London. From an early age I have had many Jewish friends
but sadly we have all moved away from each other. I have always enjoyed
Jewish humour and the odd word of Yiddish language (as popularised in Yinglish)
is a great medium for communicating with Jewish people in the office.
I found your site by searching the net using Jewish Jokes and was amazed
at the number and scope of Jewish jokes (ones that you could tell your
Bubba and those which it would be politic not to).
I have most of the Jewish Joke books, especially Henry Spalding's Encyclopaedia
of Jewish Humour and American Jewish Humour. The only thing wrong with
Spalding is that I feel he is an American joke gatherer/collector and has
not been a stand up comedian so that his jokes can be long winded which
throws the timing off when you try to tell the jokes without amendment.
(By the way) my maternal grandfather was Friedrick Otto August Schubert
and his family owned Schubert's Cafe in Leyton (alas no more).
[Geoff
E, London, UK]
David. You have it all down to
perfection for me to compete with. You are indeed the king of humour. Move
over Elizabeth he's after your crown. Regards
[Stan,

Have to say I LOVE the site, and I have been
rocking with laughter. I haven't read all the jokes yet.
All the best
[Nathan,

Thanks for a great site. I come back
and visit every now and then and am always glad to see a new set of jokes.
Best regards,

Hi David. I heard about you searching for
Jewish Jokes in Google. [I’m looking for] jokes for a script
I'm writing. The problem is that the main character, whose religion
is irrelevant to the presentation, can't go around telling Jewish jokes,
so I'm "converting" some of the jokes he might say…and also using some
that may not have any religious connotation. I want you to know that I've
consulted a dictionary of jokes and several books on jokes and humor from
our very well stacked library and none of them has the finesse of your
collection. You should put them all together into a volume to publish.
So, congratulations, you win over all those reference books. Best wishes.
[A,
Hungary]
David, I hope you don't mind - I often use
a selection of your jokes in my small local congregation Newsletter. It's
non profit making, and I occasionally credit your website. I use them in
a manner similar to Readers' Digest, all over the Newsletter, which has
a distribution of about 40. People tell me they like the jokes, and it
helps to get them to read the Newsletter right through, into the stodgy
stuff. Best Regards and a Happy New Year.
[Jack

You are doing a terrific job. Thank you very
much. Cheers

than this, he kept it for himself. Trust me.

Your jokes came at a very good time. Our
children left yesterday to return to Israel and it was great to be able
to have a laugh. Hope you are all in good health. Keep up the good work.
Had some great laughs.
[Cheryl

I found your site at a low time. I am disabled
and was having a bad pain day, typed in Jewish jokes and now want to thank
you. I am so much better. Everyday I read some of your jokes and have a
real belly laugh. Thank you. For me, you are the moschiach.
I have been married for 36 years, have 3 children and 6 grandchildren.
Our daughter and 3 grandchildren are in Israel. Thanks again for the laughter
- it really is the best medicine even if you are not sick.

I'm writing a musical comedy about a ballet
dancer and needed some Jewish jokes but so specific for a retired ballet
dancer (my main character, who likes to tell jokes) that I didn't want
to wade through all 48 plus boxes in your display. Maybe you can send me
a few I might use if you have any in that category. In exchange I
am going to tell you a few Eastern European jokes you may not have in your
repertoire.

Hi David. I just finished reading your 46th
edition of Jewish Humour. You did it again. I never imagined all that I
have missed in my life, but I am sure with your help I will do a lot of
catching up. I was very elated to see that I made your new set with 2 of
the many I sent you. You can't win them all, but I intend to keep trying.
I know what you’re doing takes up a lot of your time, but you have to know
a lot of people out here love you for what you are creating.

Dear David, I found your website on a Google
search: I'm a Jew living in Manhattan. I'm writing a screenplay and needed
a funny joke for a newly wed couple, and your Millie/Maurice no sex joke
cracked me up. I'd like to rework it a little to fit my screenplay, which
I plan to sell or produce on my own (God willing!). Is it OK if I
use it? Thanks for the laughs.
[Zachary

I visited your web site earlier today and
I just wanted to congratulate you on a well presented, and informative
web site. It's not often that I come across a web site that offers a wealth
of quality and hard to find wonderful collection of Jewish jokes and
Jewish humour. I particularly liked your joke no 289 "The Prayer".
[AZ,
Israel]
I found your site by looking on Google and
typing in Jewish jokes under the search. It's a great site, you have really
funny jokes. I enjoyed it. I'm from Brooklyn, New York. The big polluted
state. Thanks for responding. Keep up the good work.
[ML,
Brooklyn, New York, USA]
YES, #418 is the one I was looking for (though
I think I originally heard a slightly different version - which is not
surprising). I appreciate your quick reply. I was going through the
jokes page by page, and was up to set 7 - you saved me quite a bit of time!!
Your site came up on Google when I did a search for "joke man tailor new
suit." I have bookmarked your site, and plan to go through
it at a more leisurely pace. My husband and I love comedy of all
types, and so I am happy to have found your joke collection. I plan
to share it with lots of friends & family! I have
lived in West Virginia for 17 years, and I am originally from Woodstock,
NY, where I spent the first 25 years of my life. Have
a great day
[Amy
H, West Virginia, USA]
I just found your site on the web. There
are so many jokes. I live in Paris and found your website on Google when
looking for Jewish jokes. Shalom and all the best.
[France

No 44...a great laugh.......you have
excelled yourself!! Kind regards,
[Ian

I found your site as I was looking for a
translation of the word ‘bubkes’. Google gave me your address. I am an
artist from Germany and I’m not Jewish but rather pagan.
Anyhow I enjoyed your joke page very much. And because you’ve given me
such pleasure, I’ll give you something back. The attached file contains
a cartoon I made. If you like it, you may use it for your cartoon page.
Many greetings from Cologne. NOTE: See 2nd cartoon page
[Vladi
A, Cologne, Germany]
Every time I need vitamin L (laugh) I go
to your site. I had a freehand project to do and this is what I made (see
cartoons 3rd page). Hope you like it and hope even
more it is funny :-)
Take care
[Uriah
Y, Kfar Yonah, Israel]
G'day David....We enjoy your jokes.
One of my dear friends sent me your link quite some time ago and I have
been enjoying all your jokes since then. I have quite a few friends all
over the world, and we keep in touch with each other with jokes!!! believe
me, its a good way to keep in touch, when you don't have too much to tell
each other!
[Ian
S, Perth, Western Australia]
David, the best collection of Jewish jokes
I have found anywhere -- including some of the books by the best Jewish
comedians. I am doing a short comedy routine for our synagogue fund raiser
and will have to revise it based on some of your jokes. Thanks for
sharing. I am originally from Amarillo, TX and I hope to return there by
the end of May. Right now I am living in Aiken, SC.
I found your joke site by doing a search for "Jewish jokes" using Google.
I needed some jokes for Shabbat, and I read a few that night, which cut
down the amount of time I had to talk.
[Chester
F, Amarillo, Texas, USA]
Thank you for alerting us to your new supply
of jokes. We enjoy them and share them with the family. In
fact, every week I visit a lonely gentleman who is homebound and he looks
forward to the latest in Jewish humor.
[Moshe
and Ruth, New York, USA]
I really enjoyed the jokes. I just finished
reading through the 43 "jokes" pages, and I had a lot of laughs.
I will now be reading through the rest of the jokes.
Thanks for building this site. It makes for a lighter day.
[Austin

Re: your wonderful jokes. I am new

[Alex

...I drew that should be funny to anyone
who remembers Myron Cohen's material, or knows the joke in set 38 about
the man who (or, originally, the little girl whose mommy) found a fly in
the raisin bread. I hope you like it.
[Gordon
W, Edison, NJ]
I had the pleasure of meeting you a week
a go in the Chamber of Commerce lunch in Sparta restaurant. I today visited
your web site that I found quiet tasteful. I enjoyed it so much that I
have now passed its URL to my Jewish friend who I know has a good taste
for humour.
Keep on with the good work.
[Foad
N, Middlesex, UK]
You come up as first choice on Google under
"Jewish jokes". Now that is recognition!
I think that we are only slightly Jewish'ish by osmosis. 5 years
spent at KGS and B&K had that effect on us.
But the compulsion to make chicken soup may be part of my wife's unclear
family history. Whenever we try Friends Reunited the only other people
called K… went to Jewish schools! It probably had a more diasporic
spelling originally. We also mastered "over protective and critical"
with our daughter and grand daughter, the latter is only 14 but she is
already tall enough to be a Doctor. My grandmother
was the original human Sabbath time switch through much of Brondesbury.
I have always loved the way that strict religious observance is not allowed
to get in the way of life and business. As one who traded bubblegum
for lox sandwiches at KGS I was impressed by the simplicity of the argument,
"My mother just said I shouldn't buy it!"
Surrounding Muswell Hill with green string is another masterpiece!
Many thanks for a great site.
[Phil
M, Stafford, UK]
I live in one of the 'Jewish' suburbs just
outside of London in the U.K I found your website when I was
browsing recently, I entered 'Jewish Jokes' into Google and - there you
were!
[Frank

These were great.. thanks! ..and
how politically correct of you to switch the names of Luigi and Moshe!
[Michael

Wonderful stuff. Thanks.

Dear David, I will hold a speech for the
opening of a new Synagogue in Austria. Does any joke come to your mind?
[Katinka
F, Vienna - Austria]
Great site
…..you’ve been assiduous in collecting a great array, and a broad variety,
of jokes. I laughed out loud at a number of them. Coming from a medical
family, I particularly enjoyed the doctor lines: “I have good news and
bad,” says the doctor. “The good news is that you’re not a hypochondriac.”
[Bill
I, USA]
I wanted to write to you and let you know
that I used some of the wording to your 'Speeches I'd like to hear' for
a 60th birthday speech. It went superbly well and was easily the best speech
I have ever done. I still have not told anyone that I plaguerised from
your site. Well done. I imagine the
speech could go down as the best ever for me. I've certainly never made
a crowd laugh like that before. Everyone I've spoken to that heard it thought
it one of the best they had heard. I searched '60th birthday
speech' in google and it came up with some specialised speech writing sites
which I almost paid for their services. I even went right up to check-out
on 2 but stopped and kept searching and then stumbled on yours on page
2 of the search results.
[Justin
B, Perth, Western Australia]
I looked on the web and found you - Yes I
work in London but live in Southend, Essex - I went to JFS, JGLB and all
the JC dances I could - I lived on a kibbutz for periods over three years
coming back to England to get some money and then going back.
[Shirley
G, Southend, UK]
Hi there, Found your website and thought
it was excellent. Its a shame you don’t have anything dedicated to barmitzvah
or bat mitzvah as I'm trying to write a speech for a batmitzvah or even
anything teenagy...? Thanks.
[Angela
S, London, UK]
Placed your site on our favourites.
It's a good tonic when one is feeling down.
[Harvey

I was looking out some text which I eventually
found on your site. It’s the home economics textbook (#747). Do you know
where I can find more text from the same textbook or the name of it? If
not, cool. Love the site. Any info you have though, throw it

Hi David The latest jokes have cheered me
up no end. I'm at home, missing my dancing, whilst I get over the
Flu!
[Jeff
S, London]
Thank you so much for all the joy and laughter
you have given me for the last few weeks.
I found awordinyoureye while searching for the legendary "camel joke" -
the one about the old man who rode a camel to impress his neighbours.
Google returned many versions of the joke, but yours was the best, and
the most familiar to the way I heard it the first time, back in the 60s.
At that time, the man was riding up and down Collins Avenue in South Beach,
which was, at that time, the premier retirement village for seniors (mostly
Jewish) from New York and New Jersey.
Your web site is delightful, and I have been forwarding items from your
collection to escape the Central New York State winter dreariness and to
cheer up kvetchy friends. I understand that the UK isn't quite so bitter
during the winter, and I envy your access to the divine city of London!
It has been interesting to learn of the Jewish culture and areas of the
city through your jokes. I am sure you have access to much finer
Jewish delicacies than we up here in the wilderness!
So thanks again, and I will forward any
Jewish jokes I hear, although I am sure that you have heard them already.
PS My grandfather was a Sephardic
Jew from Spain - mid-19th Century.
[Catherine
DD, New York, USA]
Your jokes are fabulous. Do you live
in Great Britain? Lee and I live in Los Angeles, California.
I got to your site through Google, Totally Jewish -Chanukah. Yes I would
love it if you e-mailed me for updates. Happy New Year.
[Judy,

Thanks a lot for brightening up my Monday

I'm from Jacksonville, Florida, USA. My wife
is from Baghdad, Iraq. She and her family were thrown out of Iraq in 1950
when she was only 1 year old. Our kids were all born in Israel.
I came to Israel in 1970 at age 33. I found your website
via Google.
[Izzy
C, Israel]
Got your 39th edition and again you did another
SUPER job putting more laughter in our life. I just turned 77 and what
else could an old man want, but a little humour in his life now. Keep up
the great work. You are bringing happiness to more people than you think.
I can tell some of my jokes I have been sending you have been useful. I
shall keep on sending them and some day we'll have the whole world laughing
with us.
[Stan
C]
Have enjoyed your site and love Jewish jokes
-- have read most all of yours. I have a few I don't think
are there. Would you like me to send them and will you tell me if
you like them? I was born in NYC where every 3rd person is Jewish,
and though I'm a shiksa, my grandfather had a partner named Loewy in the
hat manufacturing business. It went bankrupt when men stopped wearing
hats.
[Jean
R, USA]
Very, very funny!!!
[unknown]
I simply conducted a GOOGLE search for Jewish
Jokes and your site was one of the listings on the first page, and sounded
interesting. L'Shana Tova.
[David

How do I sign up to receive Jewish jokes
by email? Pls let me hear from you thanks
Found your site thru a search of Jewish jokes.
[R &

I love your site. I'm a Rabbi
in London that's always looking for good jokes to use in sermons.
[Rabbi

Enjoyed reading your jokes.
[David

Thanks for your help. I live in Toronto and
just did a Google search on Jewish humour. I thought it might be a good
way to start my speech …… at my son's bar mitzvah. shana

Thank you David, great jokes for a wet miserable
morning.

I live in Caracas, Venezuela, and enjoy visiting
your web site. My son in Singapore recommended your web
site. I would not mind being notified by e-mail when you update your
site.
[Manuel
R, Caracas, Venezuela]
I wish you all the best during this holy
time of year and thank you for the marvellous humour of your website.
I live in Toronto, Canada. I'm pretty sure that I found your website by
Googling something like "Jewish Humour". The reason is a bit of a
ganzah megilah. I frequently teach human rights courses and am active
on a couple of human rights committees. Someone in a class made an
anti-Semitic comment which I challenged but did not feel that I disputed
enough. (I am a Gentile, alas-- probably my name suggests that.)
So I did some research on the internet and bought some books on the history
of anti-Semitism, and general history of Judaism and Jewish culture. I
was always interested but once I began to delve more into the topic I became
enthralled. I imagine you can relate to having absorbing interests
with your hobby of collecting perhaps the largest collection of Jewish
jokes ever. As I learned more--I realized that a test of that would
be how many of the references in the jokes that I would get. The
humour is so droll. Such a tradition as well (as you would know)
of so many great Jewish comedians.
Of course, when most people think about "jokes" in relation to a group
of people they assume or participate in derogatory ones. Jokes by
and for a group are entirely different--actually funny--from the inside.
So--L'Shona Tova! I would appreciate being informed of when your
website is updated. Thank you.
[Lesley
T, Toronto, Canada]
btw, your most recent collection was excellent!
warm regards
[Hilary,
Melbourne, Australia]
Hey David, those were actually funny!
[Barbara
McG]
Just a short message to say "Thanks so much
for your site, awordinyoureye.com". I just had a a few minutes to
spare yesterday but couldn't resist reading at least a few good ones!
And I love that you are adding new ones when you hear them. (my link is
getting a little stale) I look forward to perhaps, staying in touch in
the future. It's a good life,
[Dave
M, Mid Atlantic Region, USA]
Thanks much. I checked out the site
and it's great! I'll add it ASAP.
[Eric
M, Seattle, USA]
Thanks a bunch David, I'll enjoy perusing
them this morning - start the working week with a laugh is a great idea,
don't you think?
[Jeff,
London]
I shared some of your jokes .... to cheer
up a Jewish friend (in fact he told them again in his office in their family
business. Talk about a snowball effect). We’’ve been laughing our pants
off. Thanks for the entertainment.
[Ann
P, Netherlands]
Great. This (34th set) is the best batch
yet! Keep them coming.
[Michael
W, Creative Supervisor, Disney Character Voices International Copenhagen,

Thank you David for the new set of jokes
this morning. So good to have a laugh first thing in the morning.
[Sylvia

I think your site is wonderful and hysterical.
Keep up the good work. Our 25th high school
reunion is coming up and we have all been sharing our favourite jokes.
I found you on a Google search. I have shared your site with friends,
already.
[Mark
R, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA]
I was looking for something on www.google.co.il
and tried “Pischer”. Why? Don't ask because I don't remember and I found
your treasure. Please do
add me to your list and thank you for that!

I was born in Moscow, USSR. I am a mathematician.
In the end of 1979 my family (all 3 of us) were allowed to leave.
Since May 1980, I have been in Arkansas. Since May 2003, I have been reading
your jokes. Where have you been all my life?
[Boris
S, Arkansas, USA]
Tayere Duvid or as we say David hayakar.
What to do, I liked your jokes and sent the link to my friends.
I have a joke that goes 50 years ago, it is from Holland where I was born
on my way to Erets Hakodesh and may be it is an unknown one.
[Uriah

Hi! I promised when we met last week I would
take a look. I think the site is great - very enjoyable. If I come up with
more jokes or marketing ideas I'll pass them on.
[Ian

I needed some Jewish jokes to send to a friend
who is recuperating from surgery. I looked through lots of web pages
before I found just what I was looking for. Thank you for this wonderful
and expansive collection of jokes. I am hoping that a few jokes a day will
expedite his recovery.
[Marla
R, Portland Oregon, USA]
I think that's a great idea your new column
Dating [Kosher Humor]. I not only enjoyed the old ones I had heard but
better yet the ones I haven't heard. I not only read all the jokes but
even took your test, which I normally wouldn't do. It's a great fun thing
to do. Keep up the great work. We needed your Web site over here. Just
sorry it took me so long to hear about it.
[Stan
C]
Very funny site. I found it because I was
looking for a humorous passage to deliver in my blessing for my son's bar
mitzvah coming up. Do you know of any poignant yet humorous passages. I
don't want to deliver a joke per se but a little levity would be good after
the ordeal. If you know of any sites or authors please pass them along.
Please add me to the email group. It's always nice to get a laugh once
in awhile. Thanks again for helping.
[Rich
S, California, USA]
I enjoyed your site especially how many of
the jokes I’m familiar with had the locations changed from Brooklyn to
places in England. I found your site after doing
a search on Google for Jewish jokes.
[Neil
L, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada]
Oy, I laughed and laughed at your jokes.
Thank you. You have done a mitzvah.
[unknown]
What a great site. I haven't made it all
the way through your amazing list of jokes yet, but here's a favorite joke
of mine - my apologies in advance if you already have some variant of it
posted.
[Luke
P, Enumclaw, Washington, USA]
Have enjoyed your numerous jokes on your
very funny web site. I was looking for some lines for
a wedding speech and have spent most of the day reading your collection
of jokes. Have finally dried my eyes from too much laughing and now able
to send you this email. Do you
have any other wedding speeches?
Was not too impressed with the one and only
that you posted on your site. Need to give a short but hopefully funny
speech at my son’s wedding next week. Now totally stuck! Any help
would be appreciated.
PS I am a company director age 53
- Jewish and live in North London.
[Ray
H, London, UK]
Really David, thanks so much for replying
to my e-mail. I'll pass on your best wishes to the guys. Yes,
I'd love to be informed when there are new jokes posted. I've read
it's no joke - laughter really is the best medicine, and totally agree
with the concept. Many of my guys at
the towers seemed to have lost the will to live, and most had tried to
become hermits in their apartments, but since I began working there last
June, I've tried to get them to respond to me as a friend, and not just
an employee of the towers. It has taken several months but I believe
I have been successful in most cases. One of the residents, a former
mayor of Phoenix, and now an invalid who has lost speech, and is often
lost in his own mind, not knowing where he is; has begun responding to
the cookies I bake for him. When his nurse wheels him out for some
fresh air, he always holds his hand out to shake mine and get a cookie
or two. The nurse says it proves he still has the ability to recognise
people, which his doctors had said was not possible anymore.
Anyway, many, many, thanks for the help your site has given me in my quest
to energize these guys again.
[Gary
S, Phoenix, AZ, USA]
Shalom. I'm a tallit weaver and wondered
if you have run across any tallit jokes.
Someone recommended that I look at your site from one of the Jewish chat
boards (I'm sorry, I can't remember which one). I'll check in with
your site periodically for updates. Thanks again!
I can't wait to go through your list!
[Alissa

I'm a goyim guy living in Phoenix, AZ.
I discovered your website while googling around the internet, and have
been sharing the jokes with a group of older single Jewish men (mostly
retired Doctors, Lawyers and one feisty retired FBI man) who live in the
highrise tower where I work.
We have all had a wonderful time for the past several weeks with me telling
them a new joke now and then, and with them trying to top mine (yours).
Your site has brought much laughter and cheer to these guys most of whom
have lost their wives, and have few friends due to their age and inability
to get out much. Some of them have even grown closer to each other
since we started exchanging jokes, and have started actually having conversations
with each other.
Thank you so much for providing so many laughs and good times for us.
I've even seen two former enemies begin the process of forgiving past slights
that have kept them apart for years.
[Gary
S, Phoenix, AZ, USA]
Just wanted to say thank you for the trouble
you have taken to bring laughter and joy to strangers. At present especially
with our tsores in Israel I am always looking for good jokes to brighten
my days and those of the people I come in touch with so the next jokes
will be to your credit.
PS Having read your home page, let me add
that I am an ex-Wembleyite (born and bred ) and used to dance at Hillel
House with Maurice and Susie (Susie and I are in touch via emails) - small
world, eh? I still dance twice a week and believe that music and humour
are two of the greatest signs of belevolence from our Creator.
[Leonie

I presently live in a very small town in
Norteastern Oklahoma called Miami ( pronounced My'am ah ) It is a predomonately
American Indian territory and the name is a tribe name. I lived in Massachusetts
and moved to Minnesota in 1974, and then to a cruise ship for a couple
of years before coming here in 2001. I really enjoy reading through your
site and find Jewish humor thoroughly enjoyable. I am 59 years old and
went to the University of Vermont ( abbreviated UVM as in the French for
Universitas Vers Montain )in the very early sixties. In those days, a lot
of Jewish families in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticutt sent their
offspring there. The reasoning behind this was twofold: The UVM Medical
School is among the best in the world and by going to the undergrad school
and doing well, you were almost guaranteed acceptance to the Med School
which was very hard to get into; and secondly,at that time the tuition
and overall expense for attending there was the lowest in the country for
a pre-med college of its caliber. In a class of about 800 students, over
50% were Jewish. The school had 16 Fraternities and 10 Sororities which
were the social center for the whole school. Even back then, public pressure
was being exerted on schools, clubs, and other public groups to be less
restrictive as to race, color, creed, and soforth. Over one half of these
campus groups were almost exclusively either Jewish or non-Jewish. The
way they got around this was to have at least one token member of another
group in each organization. I was recruited by Tau Epsilon Phi because
I was Roman Catholic and ended up ( along with the only black student on
campus ) living in an otherwise all Jewish Frat four four years. It was
absolutely one of the high points of my youth. I learned early on how family
and religion played such an important part in the lives of my Frat brothers.
It made my college years really meaningful. Where I live now, there probably
is not a Jewish family in town, or anyone who would understand the basics
of Jewish humor. Your jokes are marvelous. I will continue to follow your
site.

S, Miami, Northeastern Oklahoma, USA]

Hi! I just found this web page, WONDERFUL.
Could a little Catholic widow contribute a few jokes once in awhile, but
yours are terrific. Laughter truly is the best medicine!! It never does
anyone any harm and no side affects. Please add
me to your list for jokes - this site sounds very good!! Love to hear from
you. I may even find a few to send you!!
I'm from Punnichy, Sk. I heard about your jokes through Ian MacAusland-Bergs
site. Laugher worked wonders for Dr. Patch Adams. It takes more muscles

These are very funny, and the "naughtier
ones" are just that, not vulgar or nasty. However your Italian
Jewish gentleman (in XXX#38) should be named LEVI (like Carlo and Primo)
not LEVY. Couldn't resist, my thesis was on an Italian emigrant workers'
association founded by Carlo Levi, hence spin-off into "Jewish Writers
of Turin" (Carlo Levi, Primo Levi, Leone and Natalia Ginzburg, etc).
I live in Montreal Quebec. Found awordinyoureye doing some kind of web
research on migration history. Bookmarked it because it was funny, and
not full of spelling errors the way most joke sites are (sorry, I make
my living as a translator).
[Maria
G, Montreal Quebec, Canada]
Thank you David for your latest update. Yes
I wouldn't mind being on your emailing list as I enjoy Yiddishe humour.
I found your site by accident. Have you ever considered
getting a column inch or two in the JC to let people know you are there?
I'll try and get you mentioned in our local Jewish paper the Jewish Telegraph.
Looking forward to your updates.

I am from Denmark, not Jewish as far as I
know. I have trained as a plumber and later as a student counsellor and
I am now employed at the largest technical training institution in Denmark.
I was scanning the net for links to plumbing folklore for a local web page,
and wanted to see if there were any Jewish jokes re plumbers or plumbing
like in the "plumbing,schlumming... it´s a living.." vein and there,
lo and behold came the link to you.
[Benny
W, Denmark]
Your jokes rule!! I love your
jokes!! They're hilarious!! I was reading your home page about
people who signed up for a mailing list. I would love to, if that's possible.
Could you please reply with any notifications. Keep up the good work

how is sunny old england doing? i remember
living in Chiswick (London SW) at an early age for several years... loved
it, except there wasn't enough warmth and the food was horrible. :) still,
i love returning for visits to friends and family there.
thanks so much for finding the article but
really there's no need to go to the trouble of posting the letter to me.
if it was a sunday times article surely they have it on the web somewhere,
eh? i'll go hunt down their contacts online if i can find them. cheers

Congratulations on your site of Jewish Jokes. It is first class (even for me a gentile Aussie from Down Under). I have sent it on to colleague
