🔝 Today’s Featured Story

In 1978, Time Magazine estimated that 80-percent of all comedians were Jewish.

But why?

Jews have used their outsider status and distinctive characteristics to generate Jewish humor — as characterized by self-deprecation, challenging authority, and audacity.

Plus, with an extensive history of nonstop trauma and persecution, the Jewish People have historically used humor as a “release valve,” and even a tool of survival.

Enjoy the backstory of why and how Jews dominate comedy, and leave us a comment with your reaction:
